Not worth the hype.. came here cuz of all the reviews & videos. But this place was a huge disappointment. Oxtail was not tender at all. For the price I was expecting alot better. The patty was the only thing that was ok. I won't be coming back thats forsure. Dont belive the hype

Oxtail Stuffed Patty was delish so well-seasoned 5 stars now for the chicken & goat roti was packed with meat BUT tasted very plain jane ?? what happened to herbs & seasoning & some heat ???
I asked for their oxtail patties the owner said he has no more left, the person in line behind me ask for the same thing but said they are from out of town , then he proceeded to tell them he will make it for them!!! Thats bad business. Customer lost

Had MTL Yardie on my list of places to visit & let me tell you, they did not disappoint.
The place is spotless. Was greeted with a warm welcome from the owner as I walked in. He has a real great operation going on in the back, I must give a big shoutout to the people behind the scenes because everything was fantastic!
The main reason coming here was to try the Patty stuffed with oxtails. The Patty was really good & stuffed fully with oxtails. The meat was tender & full of flavour. I definitely would recommend.
The goat roti was also delicious & packed with a good ratio of meat & potatoes. The curry flavour was present but I find could of used a better curry & pepper.(our preference) I understand you have to'turn it down to accommodate everyone'
The jerk chicken was cooked beautifully & was tender. Will say, I wonder if it is cooked on the grill but still really good.
I definitely would recommend their home made juices. The sorrel had a nice kick I. The back of my throat. Fruit punch is also really nice!!
Everything was delicious & pipping hot!!! Definitely would recommend & will be back!!
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 had the oxtail with vegetables & ice creams, & everything was absolutely delicious! The oxtail was so tender & flavourful, the vegetables were perfectly cooked, & ice creams were the perfect way end the meal. Everything was a solid 10/10!!! Highly recommend!
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 .

I ordered the Veggie Roti, the Jerk patties as well as the oxtail plate. First of all, coming from a West Indian background, I was satisfied with the taste of the Jerk Patty. The Roti was too soggy but the thing that really was not satisfying was the oxtail plate. The taste was very good, HOWEVER we all know oxtail has a lot of bone but paying 25$ for only bone & not any type of meat is crazy. Blah blah the cost of living is high but it was ridiculous. All I had was bone & the customer service was not great. If they are charging these types of prices, give people what they paid for. Just because we are not'influencers' doesn't mean we aren't entitled to proper portioning. Overall I may go back for the patties but that's it
I've been wanting to try this place for over a year now & what a disappointment.
I'll probably give it a 5/10.
We drove over 50 mins for this, & i dont think ill be back.
Oxtail was okay, a very small portion.
Rice was okay, big portion given.
Macaroni was so dry...12$ for this.
Beef patty with jerk was not good at all, im not sure if it was the patty or the jerk. But what a disappointment.
The drinks were good tho
We paid 85$ for all this, & price wise the portions were not it.
I wouldn't recommend to go here, there's so many other places in mtl for carribean food that are for a fair price & quantity.
First time coming here, & it wont be the last. Having been to many Caribbean restaurants in the city, & being from a Caribbean background, I can wholeheartedly say, their food, & their service are first class.
The curry goat was tender, fall off the bone & full of flavour. So was the oxtail stew.
Amazingly, i'd never had their bagels, being a montreal native. So we were offered 2 to try, which was a great surprise. Do yourself a favour, & go check them out.
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.

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.
