My wife and I have been meaning to try this place ever since it opened and we finally got there. Very nice decor and atmosphere, with real West Indian music playing (I always appreciate it when ethnic restaurants play ethnic music instead of just a local radio station!).
Although the appetizers looked enticing, we went right for the main courses. I ordered the jerk chicken and my wife ordered the curried goat.
Years ago, we attended a West Indian church in Toronto for many years. One of the highlights was the great food we were privileged to enjoy, either in people's homes or at meals held at the church, but always prepared by the church members: jerk chicken, curried goat, roti, aki & saltfish, and more. Mark's food took us back there immediately! It was so flavourful and nicely spiced! Having found the jerk chicken at other West Indian restaurants in town a touch on the bland side, it was a joy to bite into something that was so perfectly spiced and tasty! And when I filched a piece of my wife's curried goat, it tasted exactly like dish one of the church ladies made so well and was renowned for. As for portion sizes, Mark's is definitely generous!
Congratulations, Mark, on your superb cooking! We will be returning and bringing our friends with us... if they don't get there first after we recommend you to them!
I finally got around to checking out MCK and was totally impressed. Fantastic decor. Had the curry goat and the best dahl puri I ever had. Craft beer. Excellent staff and service. Even Mark the chef came out to find out how things were. It's a place you can go relax and have a fine meal. I highly recommend MCK.
Decor was great, music set the mood perfectly, and the service was excellent.
For appetizers, we tried the Calamari, Fish Cakes, and Fried Plantains. They were all superb.
Next came the main course.
Three of us ordered the Beef Curry with rice and beans and fresh roti. The fourth guest tried the Oxtail with rice. The flavour was amazing, and the meat was so tender... melt in your mouth with a perfect blend of spices and taste.
And the portions were beyond generous.
We finished off the experience with Cafe Americano and a take out container for the food we couldn't quite finish.
I highly recommend you try this place out.
I know that I will be going back again and again.
Great job!
