    I was craving oxtail and heard amazing things about this place so I decided to come to Mama D's. Living in Toronto most of my life and being of West Indian heritage, I had HIGH expectations. Boy, was this place pretty disappointing.
    The oxtail was cooked decently but the seasoning was extremely off. The rice and peas were decent at best. I also grabbed a goat soup which was okay.
    The large oxtail portion was enough for me to keep for two days, which is a plus. I just wish it tasted better.

    However the service wasn't bad and I am open to trying new dishes at Mama D's.

    Some of the blandest, yet most expensive Jerk chicken I've ever had. How can jerk chicken be bland? Curried chicken gravy was super bland too. Usually there's salt, right? At a minimum...

    Just under $20 for maybe the worst Jerk chicken meal I've ever had. Even their coleslaw is gross. Avoid at all costs.

    Update: just threw away 80% of my order, which I NEVER do. The last bite of chicken tasted like it was cooked days ago, actually felt like throwing up.

    Not only is this food expensive - it's f*%?ing terrible. They should be ashamed to serve this garbage.

    A somewhat newer Caribbean place with your standard fare.

    Restaurant size:
    Has several tables to sit and enjoy your food. May be more crowded if there are more people, or if you have a party larger than 6.

    Food quality:
    Ordered the large jerk chicken and large oxtail dinners with rice & peas, totalling $40. The oxtail was very delicious, with the meat falling off the bone, the cartilage ready to be scraped, and nice amount of gravy for the rice. The jerk chicken was a little lacking in terms of flavour and spice, but I appreciate the softness of the mean and lack of bone shards.

    Service:
    Standard quick and courteous. Please be mindful that they only accept cash/debit.

    Final thoughts:
    I would visit again to try the roti, jerk chicken wrap, and coleslaw.
