Everything was A1, from the taste, portion size, price, and customer service Got a couple platters to go and all our food was packed up correctly & with care . My platter was a small Curry chicken with cabbage and baked Mac&cheese (which tasted much better than I expected), plus a side of plantains. All of my meal was good, only critique is I wish the cabbage was cooked for longer cause it was still kinda firm. Also I found it funny that they put my curry chicken on top of the baked Mac as if it was rice lol , I didn’t mind tho cause both was delicious Will definitely be visiting again.

Curried goat is amazing and best in town hands down. Oxtail, to be completely honest TJ’s is better. I’ve had all Jamaican in town. - Please have DG ginger beer for 2.50, matching TJ’s. 4 insane.

Curry chicken, mac&cheese and cabbage. The food tastes so good so fresh. I ordered a small and they fill my container up. I can definitely eat this for 2 days. Thank I’ll be back for sure!

I had a pleasant experience at Mayne Dish! I ordered oxtail with rice & peas with cabbage. It was flavorful, with just the right amount of spiciness. The warm, inviting, clean atmosphere made it a spot to sit and enjoy your meal. The staff was equally impressive—friendly, attentive, and pleasant throughout my visit. Mayne Dish is a must-visit if you’re looking for a restaurant that serves great Jamaica cuisine in a welcoming environment. Highly recommended!

Originally from North Carolina, I was in the area and decided to give this spot a try. Parking is limited, as it’s located off a busy road. Service was quick for a weekday, and the food arrived fast. The portions were generous—the jerk chicken was flavorful but lacked spice. The cabbage was good but could have been more savory, while the mac and cheese was very good, though a bit on the salty side. Overall, the food was great, and I’d definitely return.

I never leave reviews. However, The Mayne dish deserves it. I am originally from New York. I relocated to Delaware. First time trying Mayne Dish, the food is absolutely delicious and I love the customer service. I live 45 minutes away and I don’t mind traveling for their food...absolutely delicious!

Probably some of the most flavorful oxtail I’ve had . The quality of the food is great especially since a friend brought me this from Delaware and I’m in jersey . It’s sweet and spicy. Perfectly balanced with the cabbage . I will have to make this trip across state lines myself for sure next time .
