Edited after owner response: Your response to my review is extremely unprofessional & lacks all accountability YOU should be taking. First, read the complaint properly next time because this isn't about one plate having more than the other!!!!! Secondly, I shouldn't have to call a restaurant after getting my food delivery so that you can'make it right'. YOU have the phone number when the order is placed & could have contacted ME to apologize for not having the food we order & offered other substitutes or a refund. You instead chose to try & scam me out of what I paid for by sending scraps & when you got called out, make lame excuses like the ones in your poorly written response to my initial review. I am appalled at your response. You should have probably avoided responding if you don't know how to conduct yourself properly!
Very disappointed. Ordered 2 jerk chicken meals with rice & peas & vegetables as the sides for both. I got two small meals( half portions compared to all the photos online) one of the meals had no rice & just a big pile of steamed vegetables with 3 small pieces of chicken. The other meal had the smallest portion of rice I have ever seen at a Jamaican restaurant, a small portion of vegetables & 3 small pieces of chicken. A very different experience from the last time I ordered here. I also think it's important to make an effort in contacting your customers if you run out of sides or need to substitute items due to allergies, food intolerance & just basic customer service. What I paid for did not come & it isn't your place to decide what I'll have instead. This is the first time my husband & I spent $50 on dinner only to have to cook for ourselves immediately after.

Went to MtL Yardie because I heard that this is a great location for jamaican patties. When I walked in the restaurant it was extremely clean & nice. However the customer service experience that I just received was horrendous. I waited about 10 min before one of your 3 employees who were on the floor even acknowledged my presence. I was not greeted with a hello.how.can I help you, I was rather greeted with a very bad attitude & disrespectful employee. The only question I was asked was what is your order. I work as a customer service manager for 16 years & if one of my employees would ever speak to someone the way I spoken to they would get fired on the spot. This occures today feb 6th at around 5:15 pm.
They are so unbelievably rude. The Google review responses from them says it all! They're going to learn a harsh lesson about the customer service expected in Montreal.
Got the jerk chicken stuffed patty , oxtail stuffed patty & the jerk chicken wings ! Amazing will be coming back worth the drive ! Hot sauce is really awesome ! Good product dont forget jamaicanmecrazy !
Best Jamaican food I've ever tasted! I love how generous they are with their portions. I had the curry goat & the beef patty. The curry sauce was amazing, & they even smothered the rice & beans with it, which I loved. The goat was tender, the patty was crispy & well seasoned... Flawless
We went to MTL from Toronto for the weekend. We looked up this restaurant on Google. It definitely is the number 1 spot in MTL for authentic jamaican cuisine. The service was unforgettable thank you.

MTL YARDIE is my go-to spot for authentic Caribbean-Jamaican food whenever I'm craving some bold flavour. The dishes are always freshly prepared, & the owner & staff are incredibly friendly & welcoming. My go to is Mixed Plate, Chicken Roti, Ackee & Salt Fish with fried dumplings. The restaurant is always clean & inviting. Highly recommend!
M.T.L. YARDIE truly deserves every bit of this 5-star rating! The food is consistently fresh, flavourful, & made with love. From the very first bite, you can taste the authenticity & passion that goes into every dish.
Their jerk chicken, oxtail, brown stew chicken, fried chicken, rice & peas, & goat curry are all outstanding - always perfectly seasoned & cooked to perfection. & for those who know… the Pumpkin Rice (a secret menu gem!) is absolutely incredible & takes the meal to another level.
On top of the amazing food, the service is warm, welcoming, & always on point. The team treats you like family every single visit, which makes the experience even better.
If you're looking for real Jamaican flavour, generous portions, & consistent quality, M.T.L. YARDIE is the spot! Highly recommended!
I absolutely adore this location. A bagel/ Jamaican food paradise. I love the for purchase spice section, also! The service is simply amazing, too! Carmella & the rest of the ladies ensure that I will return. I am From Detroit, & am always treated like I am valued by everyone there on my annual summer visit to Montreal.
best jamaican food i had in the city so far , the oxtail is fall off the bone & the gravy is very flavorful . Rice & peas , macaroni pie flavorful as well & service is fast . My only negative point is this place is far from where i live but if im in the area & hungry for sure im getting my fix there .
Definitely One of the best if not the best Jamaican spots to eat in Montreal. I had the pleasure of enjoying the oxtail & curry goat meal Food was 10/10. The service was wonderful i definitely will be coming back with my friends & family to enjoy the best Jamaican cuisine in Montreal. Oh & the Sorrel to die for best sorrel I ever had.
The food was great! The Ackee & Saltfish was the best!! Customer service was excellent. If you are looking for the best Jamaican food in Montreal, I highly recommend MTL Yardie!
Amazing authentic Jamaican food. The oxtail is my absolute favourite & the Mac & cheese is absolutely divine. Everything is always fresh & on point. This is my go to spot for Jamaican food.
Truthfully the BEST Jamaican food in Montreal. I had the juicy oxtail that fell right off the bone & some jerk chicken & let me tell you I received the BEST SERVICE. I can't wait to return with all of my friends as well as use their catering services for future family & friend events.
Our visit was delightful, & we quickly discovered some standout dishes. The macaroni pie was a comforting, cheesy delight, while the jerked chicken was perfectly seasoned & grilled to perfection. The jerked salmon was equally impressive, offering a succulent bite infused with that signature flavor. The great sauces served alongside the dishes added depth & a delightful mix of flavors that truly showcased the essence of Jamaican cuisine. & we can't forget the black cake, a rich, moist, & very dense dessert that was the perfect ending to our meal. One of the highlights of our dining experience was the hibiscus drink. Without a doubt, it was the best hibiscus drink I've ever had-refreshing & vibrant.
