Mainsha Restaurant

This restaurant needs to start accepting debit or credit as a form of payment and not only cash today I went to buy a medium meal. I handed the server $20. She asked me if I had two dollars which I did she gave me back $.50 waiting for her to give me the remainder of the my change looks at me confusing you’re good to go. I said you still haven’t given me the $10. She said I gave it to you already. I told her no you did not. You asked me for two dollars you checked underneath to see if you had any change you didn’t so you went into your personal pouch and grabbed $10 and then you put the money underneath. She started looking at me suspiciously and then handed me the $10 me because you just lost a customer because I’m not coming back here when you try to support your own people now I’m being accused of stealing money. get a better cash system so you won’t have to worry if you forgot to give your customers back there change or not.

I came into mainsha (dufferin location) today at 12:30pm and ordered fried chicken with rice & peas. I then got home at 1pm and started eating and realized that there was a long piece of hair in my food, I am extremely upset, and find that to be very non professional that the workers are not wearing hair nets. It made me feel disgusted & uneasy, I am very disappointed please do better.

Been a regular at Mainsha for lunch. Never been so disrespected and offended just to get some food on my last experience. Owner is rude, degrading and offensive. Yells at staff in front of me for giving half coleslaw and half vegetables in my jerk chicken order, and not charging me an extra $1. After leaving, I can hear the owner screaming from the parking lot... For $1. I'm speechless. This place knows how to piss off regular customers. Also: Toronto Public Health gave them Conditional Pass as of November 2024! They aren't even following health regulations for food safety. Too busy bickering at people than cleaning the restaurant. Blessing in disguise, the last time I ever comeback here.

Hole in the wall place. Dark, old and in desperate need for an upgrade. Open kitchen. No tables but standing counter space. Food is exceptionally cheap. Small Jerk chicken with rice with beans and vegetables /coleslaw is only $6.00 including tax. The chicken was very tender. The rice and vegetables were good as well. The lady behind the counter was quite nice and helpful.

This place my grandchildren love the food and it’s ok but for someone like me it needs to have a debit machine to be more convenient for all. But this is a good place for the community. Big up this spot

About 5-10 mins walk south of Yorkdale Mall. Small place for takeout. Food was average and portion was ok. Lunch special is now $6 for 2 scoops of rice, meat and vegetables/coleslaw. If in area, this would be an option but I won't be going back as I think there are better options.

Best lunch prices in the city! It’s a hidden gem and take out only. I’ve been here over 7 times, the last time I got food poisoning. I then notice they didn’t receive a fully pass food inspections. Will probably give them another chance again once they get the full pass given positive experiences previous times.

Wow! This place is amazing. I went here for lunch today for the first time. It came highly recommend by my cousin.To my surprise there was a long line up when we got there. The food was worth the wait. The rice and peas were cooked perfectly creating a nice smooth texture and the jerk chicken was seasoned with just the right amount. Not too spicy and not too bland. Did I mention the lunch special is only $4.99. What a steal! Come here if you are willing to wait in line for one of the best jerk chicken in town. I’ve been to Jamaica and had fresh jerk chicken cooked right out of a drum road side. This place comes very close. I’m really happy today that I have found this place. Went back again to try the curry goat. It’s pretty good too. But I love the jerk chicken. Very consistent. Not many parking spots available.
