M&P Caribbean Delight - Patty Shop — Restaurant in New York

I hate to leave reviews that are not ideal on smaller businesses but for the love of God please find good chefs. I’m really trying to not be mean but this is quite literally the worse food I’ve ever had. I tried the food twice a whole year a part before I made my review. Honestly idk if this is Jamaican food but I’m sure it’s Caribbean inspired. These foods are no where close to Carib food. Like i couldn’t even eat it. This restaurant belongs in this community and I want them to remain here. Please listen to your reviews and improve the food. I will be trying the food...

Popped in randomly and was immediately greeted with good vibes. Customers and servers were lovely, great first impressions. They have a good variety of food, and at 4pm a lot was still available. The fresh sorrel and ginger juice (proper JA style) was delicious and stayed cold for ages, the ackee patty hit the spot and even the cornmeal porridge that late was good. This is clearly a loved local spot, the prices are very good and food is fresh. I'll be back for a soursop...

I appreciate them trying to fill the void but because it's called The Patty Shop I expected these patties to be phenomenal. I got akee and jerk and I was disappointed by both. They reflect patties I would make at home they lacked that crispy outerlayer. The taste and body was light. Ackee patty was flimsy, missing density. The flavor was lacking -especially in a carribean dense neighborhood. I will try them again, just in case i caught...
