Papa Moe's

MYSTERY MEAT?!?! Ordered the boneless chicken roti and not really sure what I got. There was some very dry chicken mixed in with some kind of other mystery meat that had a strange texture and weird flavour that I didn’t enjoy... was very put off by the surprise meat! I took about 4 bites and chucked the whole thing in the trash. The curry flavouring was a bit bland but the roti bread itself was good so I give one star for that. The place is a small bar/pool hall with outdated decor and an older male crowd when I was there so I felt pretty out of place and uncomfortable. Not my vibe/scene at all.

This is my second time at Papa Moe's and while the food is okay, it's still no where near the quality and taste of Leela's located several stores down in the same plaza. The reason for my rating being 2 stars is that I would have given it 3 or 4 stars IF the person taking my order at that location had gotten it correct. I had ordered a Chicken Roti lunch special $4.50 on Monday's and I should have clued something was wrong in when they rang it up on the cash register as $4.25. When I got back to my office, I opened the box and I was greeted with a bone chicken curry on rice. While the dish itself isn't horrible by any means, it wasn't what I had ordered.

Thought I’d try a new place in Sauga. Bad idea. Ordered oxtail/rice. Food was prepared too quickly. Maybe 2 minutes after ordering. Sign that it’s definitely not made fresh. Most likely microwaved. Some pieces were cold. Oxtail had no taste. Rice was greasy. Never had greasy rice before...and it wasn’t the sauce. Asked for a napkin...gave me an obviously used one. If I ever have a bad experience, I’ll let the staff know...unfortunately no one was around to speak to until it was time to pay. So I just paid and left. The Coca Cola was pretty good.

Like many others I assume, we came for Leelas and arrived past closing so we decided to try it out. Service was...adequate. By no means was the restaurant crowded - we were the only ones there. The cashier seemed a bit put off slightly that we were having a bit of trouble deciding what to order. When we tried to pay for beverages in addition to the already-rung in order, we were asked to wait until she began to process our order. She told us the wait would be 10 minutes and that was fine with us so we sat down to wait. The decor is utilitarian - definitely not geared towards an eat-in crowd. The tables were clean and barring some packing or packages on one of the chairs, tidy. The food came relatively quickly. I think it was less than 10 minutes. The portions are large enough to fill your belly - two bone-in jerk chicken meals, one boneless one, a small fried chicken and rice and a large curry goat came to $45 odd dollars which is a reasonable price. The taste of my meal, the boneless jerk chicken, was very bland. The rice was overcooked but flavourless, the sauce was very very sparse. The chicken serving was frugal and over dry. It was more like it has been briefly rubbed than marinated and properly baked in. The coleslaw 'serving ' was just over a tablespoon. All in all very mediocre. The problem arose when my daughter gasped after discovering a long black hair baked into her jerk chicken meal see image. Needless to say that ended dinner. Accidents happen, yes, but this was just the last element of a disappointing meal.

One star and only for ice cold beer because it goes horribly downhill from there. Waitress had zero clue about what was available for beverages. We ordered TWO BONELESS jerk chicken dinners . Plates were slapped on the table in front of us. My napkins were GREASY before I even touched them. We repeated BONELESS three times. We received chicken backs. With bones. There was not enough meat on two plates to equal ONE SMALL DINNER never mind two large. Not even a drumstick. Just boney backs. Chicken was luke warm and obviously straight from the microwave. No gravy. Rice was overcooked and oily.. yes oily.. liked they added cooking oil to it before they nuked it in the microwave... And it covered half the plate trying to hide the fact there was barely any chicken on the plate Coleslaw was good but obviously came from a prepared prepackaged container. Both of us came out feeling queasy from the food. Will never darken their door again. Read reviews before trying a new place. Wish we had.. we usually do.

Going round the area to try Doubles, the meat inside taste good. I asked for it to be spicy, but I don't think it was spicy at all but the meat taste good so I guess that's fine. But I find it greasy. Not bad to try, but 50/50 if given as one of the option to go back and eat there again.

Seems a cozy nice place to have a nice evening with a small crowd of nice people in a friendly environment. I loved it the few times I went there.

I didn't like this food. Although better than. Leela's but still wouldn't waste my time and money going here. Food was not fresh. I don't care what anyone says. Not fresh. I will definitely make the drive to Oakville for Kori's Roti Shop and Burlington for De Hot Shop. They both cook every morning and have actual fresh food daily. Also, they don't "water down" their food to suit non Trini's. They make actual Trinidad food.

If I could give it less stars I would. The proprietor became extremely belligerent and rude and with my mother and her friends, to the point where they were afraid for their own safety! We will be filing a complaint with the police, but in the mean time we would warn anyone that the food is not worth the potential danger from the owner himself.

Omg. We decided to do a Taste test virsus leelas doubles... I can't even get over how bad these are... definitely microwaved, possible store bought?? To have doubles in your resturant sign and serve this... not even touching on the service... can tell they don't care about their product... don't waste your money, we literally threw these ones out!
