Monai's Soulfood Restaurant serves excellent food with great service. The menu offers delicious dishes like sweet chilli salmon bites with mac and yams, and whiting with two sides. The portions are nice and not overly priced. The restaurant provides a smooth pickup service and has ample parking space.
However, some recent feedback highlights areas for improvement. A customer noted that while the catfish dinner had good flavor, it resembled swai in taste and texture. The potato salad, usually well-balanced, had too much vinegar this time. Additionally, the string beans tasted canned, and the macaroni and cheese had an unexpected strong garlic flavor. On a positive note, the yams were described as absolutely delicious, and the banana pudding received high praise for its nostalgic taste.
Another customer faced issues with their order when they received shrimp and fries instead of shrimp and grits, with no prior communication about the mix-up. This led to disappointment regarding the service. Additionally, multiple customers reported long wait times for takeout orders, often exceeding the promised timeframe.
Despite these challenges, Monai's Soulfood Restaurant continues to have potential, and many customers look forward to enjoying the food again, hoping for consistent quality in future visits.
