| - 2 stars because meh, I've experienced better. Went to this place with my boyfriend after following them on Instagram for about 2 weeks prior to their opening, first heard about this place on MTL blog. We ordered 2 jerk chicken bowls (cuisse/chicken thigh), 1 order of chicken roti (pita like) and we got 2 Ting drinks. Disappointed because the rice & beans were really bland, almost tasted like just plain white rice. The coleslaw was also really bland as well, there was absolutely no flavour for the rice or the coleslaw. Their hot sauce that they give you with it was really good. I dipped everything in that to give it more flavours.
The jerk chicken (rotisserie chicken) skin had a lot of flavours, but it tasted like all the flavour was only on the skin. Maybe it needs to be marinated a bit longer. The chicken was also really hard (like stuck on the bone). I've tried other jerk chicken places around montreal and the chicken meat usually comes off the bone easily. The jerk chicken comes with rice/beans, coleslaw and hot sauce dip. The portions are really small compared to other places, it costed us a total of $40 for 2 people. I have had better jerk chicken and there was nothing special about this place that would make me come back. There was a lot of people, we went around lunch time - noon ish, and it just opened so that may be the reason as well. There were 2 little kids, looked around 10 years old who each had a portion of the jerk chicken bowl to themselves and they finished it. I think thats also another reason you can tell the portions are really small and not filling.
The chicken roti, I did not like but my boyfriend liked it. It looked like shredded chicken and it was curry flavoured. It was wrapped in a super thing pita-like (but thinner) wrap. It's wrapped in quite a weird shape, like an octagon or something so you cant really dip it either. It came with their hot sauce dip which was good. I felt like it needed more hot sauce dip and it was quite bland and needed the hot sauce dip with every bite.
My overall review of this was is a 2/5 because although the jerk rotisserie chicken was good, I felt like the inside of the chicken needed way more flavour throughout. Most of the flavour was only on the skin, and the inside of the chicken was bland and needed more flavour. This was also the case for the rice/beans and the coleslaw, and a bit for the roti (just needed some more spice!). I don't think I would be returning because I have had better jerk chicken around montreal and for the price of it as well, it was not worth it. It was $40 for 2 people and we left feeling unsatisfied (full, but unsatisfied due to taste).
