I have to update my review.. this place is so inconsistent with the flavour of the foods. I came in for a goat roti & it was soooo salty & tasted like it's been in the fridge for a week. At the prices you pay it should be fresh! I'm done with this place

Two time I ordered jerk chicken very dry & the drumstick like a cardboard like a crackers always super dry maybe other dish good but I never tried.. but do not buy jerk chicken terrible. They give you three pieces one drumsticks & bones. & don't even try the macaroni small piece of pie not good. & they don't have the plantain comes with the meal. What I wrote this review very honest don't try the jerk chicken.
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.
Food is not good enough for you guys to be increasing the prices like that. Stop taking advantage of your customers.
Edit: I didn't say the food was bad. Simply not good enough for you to increase the prices like that & maintaining those portions. You lack professionalism in your answers & that's funny because the whole internet can see it.
Why any customer would want to go to a restaurant where feedback is not taking seriously(I mean not taking at all actually because you insult anyone who doesn't give you 5 stars)😂.
Stop justifying your incompetency in basic RH response by saying I can't afford it because that is definitely not the case.
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

Used to pay arround 18$ with taxes for a plate of jerk chicken (not even a year ago) right now it is 32$ on uber that is insane. Cannot order here anymore unfortunately.
The way they speak to customers that are unsatisfied with their food is appalling. Just go look at their Google review responses to EVERY unsatisfied customer vs the satisfied ones. That's not how you run a business & it's certainly not how you keep one open long-term! I will never order from them again because of the ridiculous response I got on my Google review.
It was me & my boyfriend's first time trying jerk chicken & it was so delicious! Marinated to the bone & the right amount of spicy. Price is affordable, they're not cheap with the portions at all. Employees are kind. Thank you, ill be back 😋

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 !
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 ???
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
