M & k Jamaican Restaurant LLC

Absolutely love coming here.
I’ve been loyal to them for almost 3 years and I would not have it any other way.
THEE BEST Jamaican restaurant in Huntsville Alabama in my opinion

Oh! Great sadness! Service was not friendly, but not off-putting either.
I was so looking forward to trying their food and since they've been around for a while, I figured it had to be pretty decent.
Unfortunately, I will not be going back.
This was not Jamaican, or even loosely caribbean.
Curry was tasteless and the vegan chicken was so salt laden...
it was hard to stomach.
Pretty sure Gordon Ramsey would have a lot of suggestions for this place.

I gave m&k a try for lunch yesterday.
It's my first time trying Jamaican food other than maybe a couple of bites of jerk chicken on random trips to the Caribbean.
It was a success! The inside of the restaurant is super cute - bright colors, lots of art.
They have speakers playing reggae type music both inside and outside.
Little bit of outdoor seating - simple tables and chairs - and a bit more seating inside than I expected. The menu is fairly large with a lot of different options.
You place your order at the counter.
Regardless of here/to go, all orders seem to come out in styrofoam boxes. The service was polite and was working efficiently.
They were fairly busy even around 11:45 on a Tuesday. I decided I wanted to try curry chicken.
Many of the entree/plate combos come with rice and pigeon peas, cabbage, and plantains, which was fine with me! I got the "medium" portion and it still probably could've stretched two meals if you weren't crazy hungry. Overall, I really enjoyed my meal! The chicken was absolutely MELTING off the bone.
Super moist and delicious.
The curry just had a delightful, complex flavor - not spicy at all, in my opinion.
Loved that there was a little extra curry to soak into the rice.
The rice and peas were also great, very fluffy and flavorful in its own right! Plantains struck a nice balance of chewy and tender.
My only complaint is I thought the cabbage was a little too salty for my preference...that being said, better salty cabbage than bland cabbage.
Lol. Definitely looking forward to returning! I can see myself ordering this again or branching out and trying something new.
