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.
