| - All a matter of what you get. All these positive reviews are praising the Roti, which is handmade and you can actually see them working on it in the back. Impressive, but my low rating is attributed to the dish that was less than.
Mona's is a small Caribbean restaurant on Sheppard between McCowan and Markham Rd. The place itself is tiny, and they seem to be strictly takeout. The hot counter was where I was looking, where they had a variety of curries and stews. You can find goat, chicken, beef, or just vegetarian options.
I came because I wanted to try their duck, but they didn't have any, so I stuck with poultry and got myself the stewed chicken combo with rice. The stewed chicken itself was pretty dry and I thought a bit bland, despite how spicy the chicken was. The rice and beans were also dry which didn't make for a very enjoyable meal.
Now I'm sure if I ordered the Roti, this review would be much different, but I didn't. I;m definitely going back to try one and will probably update then. But until then, I know I've experienced better.
