Mammas Kitchen

Meh. The portions are really good but the food itself is kinda middling. the rice & peas is bland, the oxtail could be better, but the Mac n Cheese is pretty good. As for service, there was a line but the staff wasn't rude or anything. Overall, not bad but not great either.

Let me tell you something, you have to get the oxtails with rice and peas and steamed cabbage. I'm not a huge fan of a lot of rice, so I asked the young lady behind the counter if I could substitute some of the rice for extra vegetables, and she was more than willing to accommodate me—which was great service right off the bat! The food itself was delicious. The oxtails were tender, fall-off-the-bone perfection, and the amount of rice I had was just right. But the steamed cabbage and veggies were fantastic, having that slight, satisfying crunch that made them truly stand out. I truly enjoyed the food from here, and the young lady behind the counter was great! The food is delicious—stop in, you won't be disappointed!

Small jerk chicken with rice and beans and cabbage . First off hidden gem!!! I called myself going to the seafood spot which is next door had no idea this authentic cuisine was here . I surely stopped in and have found what I’ve been looking for. Everyone is so nice which is by far the best customer service. The smoke pit OMG!!!! And very clean place . I am so happy I came here today

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 — Mamma’s Kitchen, Paterson NJ Mamma’s Kitchen in Paterson, New Jersey is truly one of the BEST Caribbean restaurants I’ve ever eaten at — and I’ve had Caribbean food all around the world, including right in Jamaica. New York has amazing Caribbean cuisine, but Mamma’s Kitchen sits at the top of the list. I’m a loyal customer, and every single visit is exceptional. My usual order the extra-large stewed chicken, baked macaroni and cheese, and rice and beans is always seasoned perfectly and cooked with real authenticity. The flavor is consistent, rich, and absolutely delicious every time. The staff deserves a huge thank-you. The cooks, servers, and everyone behind the counter are outstanding professional, warm, and always on point. The food is never an issue; it’s always a
