Mama's — Restaurant in New York

Let me say this first I’ve ordered from mama many times and have never had a problem with the taste or quality of their food.First I asked the guy who answered the phone what kind of sodas the had if they had cola champagne or pineapple he said both.I said I’ll take a pineapple soda he sent me the cola champagne.ok np I can live with that then I ordered a large oxtail with cabbage and plantains.which costed me with the soda.$29.50 I had to make an errand so I didn’t get to eat my food for a few hours later. When I opened it the food looked like the usual food I order until I started to eat it.the oxtail’s was meaty but had so much fat on them it was overwhelming which turned me off. As if whoever prepared them didn’t even bother to take the time to try to trim some of the fat off😱 then the gave me cabbage with no flavor or seasoning and the Plantains were so old and black that I couldn’t tell if they were just burnt or old from days ago.(looked like they were old) I was so heartbroken and disappointed.buy the time I had eaten of of it they were closed so I called them up the next day about 1pm to put in a complaint because it bothered me so much. I called to speak to a manager and a nice young lady listened to what I had to say and told me the manager had just left. And took my complaint and said she’ll relay the message to management and someone will get back to me. That has now been 4days and I haven’t heard a word back.so I needed to write this review because spending nearly $30 on food occasionally isn’t cheap. Now that I sad to say this I will not purchase another item from here again because the consistency and the quality of the food has...

If you're looking for great Jamaican food that Caribbean Flavor that you had when you took that trip to Montego Bay, then this is the spot for you. This location does have a little counter area for you to sit and enjoy a quick meal but this is more of a takeout to go place but the food is definitely worth it We came on a Friday afternoon about 1pm the counter staff was so polite and helpful, didn't rush you to order, even went the extra mile to wrap my to go order when I needed it.

All the way from Dallas-Fort Worth Texas, we were in the city for a day trip taking care of some travel documents when we came across Mama's. This spot was definitely worth it, my wife myself and my son ordered stew chicken rice and peas oxtails rice and peas mac and cheese sat down ate and enjoyed. The food was so good we ordered to go had to catch a flight in 2 hours we ordered curry goat meal, jerk chicken meal, two beef patties two Coco bread and we were good to go. The young lady at the counter made sure to wrap my orders real good in order for me not to have any issues with TSA. Normally we don't like carrying food across the airport on a plane to any distance but mama's are so good we had to take some back to Texas. Mama's was definitely a good hidden spot in my old hometown. Even though we now live in Dallas-Fort Worth New York City is still in the heart and food like this always makes it worth the trip to come back home.

And I'm still a New York Giants fan my man Eli still has another Superbowl left in him. Food made it to Fort Worth safely can't...

I was skeptical because I'm obsessed with the jamaican restaurant up the block. My husband kept telling me don't go to the restaurant I frequently go to bc mamas is better, the day we decided t go was the Puerto Rican festival so I figured it wouldn't be so good even tho I trust my hubby's taste but I'm really annoying and bratty so I'm really annoyed if s/I tells me about food and it's not expectional. Needless to say I ordered oxtails, rice and peas and mac and cheese but I wanted to taste the yams the long ly young lady gave me a few to taste😘 ladies and gentlemen I kind you not after I ate I couldn't finish it (unusual) bc it was soooooo fresh and rich. I heated the rest in the morning for breakfast yooooooooooooooooo NEVER IN MY LIFE HAD I TASTE FOOD SO DANG TASTY IN MY LIFE. IT HAS BEEN BOTHERING ME ALL DAY I WILL LITERALLY KILL FOR MORE OXTAILS. SHHHHHHHHEEEESH I GOVE MAMAS...
