Mona's Cuisine

"This restaurant, in the hilly Clifton neighborhood, serves up massive portions of Liberian, Jamaican, and African American dishes. Mona herself stands behind the counter during the lunchtime rush as a line snakes out the door. There is always one West African-style stew, served with white rice or fufu. Other choices include oxtails, barbecue chicken, and mac and cheese on a menu that rotates weekly." - Robert Sietsema

"A staple of Staten Island’s Fox Hill neighborhood serving Liberian food with Jamaican and African American influence. A massive serving of cassava leaf sauce was the center of the meal, flavored with aromatic Scotch bonnet peppers, and dotted with fish, stockfish, chicken, and goat, served on white rice with a dollop of pepper sauce. The side was a great rendition of mac and cheese." - Eater Staff
