The Curry Chicken fell right off the bone and practically melted in mouth. The Mac was creamy and delicious as well. The cabbage was everything I wanted it to be. The Pineapple Soda was refreshing. And the Beef patty... just YUM. I have zero complaints about this experience.

The Oxtail was delicious!Given the amount of fat, the portion could have been slightly bigger. The Cabbage was cooked and seasoned perfectperfectly.The Mac & Cheese was flavorful and creamy.The white rice was cooked perfectly. The gravy was delicious but should be thicker. The Collard Greens were horrible, very bitter with little seasoning.

The fried chicken is always cooked to perfection crispy outside juicy inside and seasoned well. The oxtails are tender and delicious beautiful brown gravy and the rice and peas always superb I love this place!

Never in all my years of ordering from mps have the oxtails been this dry! I will never order from this particular mp again and it definitely wasnt worth $28. Green beans had no taste at all.

The food was good not great. Very nice portion sizes but I wish the chicken didn't have the bone unless it was just in the wing I expected the breast to be boneless. Sauce was also kinda spicy didn't really get any sweetness to it I don't mind but I was looking for the sweet. It was all fresh however I also rice or rice and beans was an automatic side and not a side you have to pick with one extra side. I also wish it came with a piece of bread of something just to soak it up. Would I order again eh maybe I want to try the oxtail before I decide fully if I like them or not
