Mainsha Restaurant

Weson rd location - BEST ox-tail! I don't say it lightly. I've had several friends and family members (who never think anything from a jamaican restaurant tastes good enough) and they all agree. Very good ox-tail. I can't vouch for anything else because once I had the ox-tail I don't get anything else. Definitely worth trying if you're an ox-tail fan like myself. The service is good.

When you see a sign that says "All day Tuesday special: $4.50", you HAVE to try it to see what the catch is. Turns out, there is no catch; just good food at extremely good value. Service/ Atmosphere: I can't say much about the atmosphere and the service since I usually get the food to-go, but it's a nice homey place. The cashier is nice and even packs extra napkins when I got the oxtail (much appreciated). I guess they never ask if I need more than one fork, but these dishes are a perfect fit for one anyway. Food: As mentioned before, I've gotten the Tuesday specials as well as the large oxtail. The Tuesday special comes out to 4.50 and gives you a good amount of rice, coleslaw (optional), gravy (optional) and offers a choice of 3 types of chicken: jerk, fried or barbecue. Honestly, in this day, this much variety for a freshly-made meal at this price point is unthinkable. Concerning the taste of the special, it's good. At this price point, I shouldn't care about the taste, but it's good food. The chicken is the main star, the coleslaw's slight sweetness helps with the richness of the chicken, the gravy adds on good flavour and the rice soaks up all the leftover and fills you up. This is the kind of meal that I would be completely fine paying 10 dollars for (and I have; tip your local restaurants). If you buy it on not a Tuesday, it costs around 8.50 for a similar size, which is still good value. The oxtail is a bit more pricey at around 15 dollars, but still a good eat. My only complaint is that the meat was a bit bone heavy. Napkins are mandatory when eating this oxtail and it may not be for the impatient. Taste wise, still great. Overall: Over the past 4 weeks, I discovered this place and have probably eaten from here at least 5 times. This is the kind of place that you tell your friends and family about. It's not pretty enough to get you Instagram followers, but you're doing a disservice to yourself and your wallet if you're in the area and you don't try it 5/5 It's not perfect, but the price value is undeniably good, making it worth a perfect score.
