Mama Shers Caribbean Cuisine

My go to spot in Union for Jamaican food ...... OK I must admit I am a little spoiled usually spending my days working in all areas of Brooklyn, I have had really really good West Indian at all hours of the day and night, so the judging was a little tough on Mama Shers!
I recently moved to Union and everyday I am discovering the many little places to eat, drink and shop!
We came in late one Saturday night, thinking they were closed looking desperately through the window, hoping for something other than Chinese .... There was an older gentleman sweeping up and motions us to come in ..... YESSSSSS! They did have some jerk chicken left (which is exactly what we were looking for!!!) Then out comes Mama Sher! A lovely older Jamaican lady with the sweetest demeanor (I gotta tell you a welcome change from some of the staff at west Indian places on Utica Av. at 2am - don't act like you don't know yelpers)
Jerk chicken was good, had better, but overall well made nice and spicy - everything you expect from jerk chicken - runny nose and all! She makes this "jerk sauce" it almost seemed like a mayo based sauce, it was really good it complimented the spiciness of chicken by taking it down a notch, I had never had anything like that before Kudos to creating a great sauce as opposed to oxtail gravy that they usually put on the chicken.
NOW for those scrumptious beef patties - hands down AMAZING, these were definitely made in house big an puffy filled with meat great flavor and only beef, no bevy of eclectic patties. I think we had a whole convo with the older gentleman there about patties.
So if you live in the area give Mama Sher a try, it's well worth it!

Been here on a few occassions and I must say the food is great. I love her beef patties. They're tasty and very filling.
Mama Sher is really nice, friendly and hospitable.
I'll visit again for some fried plantains.

Okay... The ambiance leaves a bit to be desired; take out may be a better option if you live close- but the food is amazing! A limited, but tasty selection of traditional Caribbean cuisine. I'm looking forward to revisiting this gem.
