Cafe Mobay

I went on a quiet Wednesday Evening. The place was very clean, Chef Patrick was friendly. Cowfoot soup,oxtail spring roll, Jerk Pork ,tender ribs, mac and cheese and the cornbread was perfect 👌. The soursop punch was amazing. Will definitely visit again.

Found this spontaneously, and what an amazing find! The food was comforting and delicious. We got the goat curry and jerk chicken bowl, both meats were perfectly cooked and tender. The citrusy mango salad paired really well with the chicken. The service was warm, attentive and friendly. We’ll be back!

Looked to try a new restaurant to us and grab takeout from Cafe Mobay. The service was good. I was a little nervous there wasn't anyone dining in but willing to give it a try. I said a prayer and hoped my stomach wouldn't be bubbling. The food was ok. It wasn't as fresh or flavorful as I would have liked. The oxtails weren't tender with hard meat surrounded around the fat and bone. It had a little flavor profile. You could tell this was old. The jerk chicken had good spice, but you could tell it was reheated a few times where the taste was borderline old. The fried red snapper had little flavor, but the oil smelled old. The stew chicken was mid-flavor. The patties were good. The portion size of the meat and veggies was small incomparison to the amount of (Uncle Ben's) rice it was served with. I paid over $120 for lackluster food that was reheated numerous times before it was packaged to me & my family.

The food was exceptional. I specifically had the salmon with coconut rice and plantain and it was steamed perfectly. It was so soft and flavorful. I had a piece of the ribs and it was fall of the bone tender. The oxtail is what you expect to get from good, soft, tender and flavorful oxtail. Expect nothing less when you come here.

We found Cafe Mo Bay through Grubhub. We don’t like going out on Sundays hehehe

Our order was Ackee and Fish and Jerk Chicken and a side of Cornbread with Mango Butter. Everything was delicious!!

Of course we had to go out and try in person. We got Mango Punch, Snapper Roll, Oxtail with Rice and Peas and Jerk Pork with Rice and Peas and a side of Collard Greens. Mango Punch has a hint of ginger which gives it a super refreshing taste. Snapper Roll, is genius, we’ve never seen fish inside a roll that wasn’t sushi and it was sooooooo good lol. We wish it was more than just 2 rolls. Oxtail was tender and flavorful and Jerk Pork was delicious. The Collard Greens were good but something was missing… I didn’t see any meat pieces so probably not made with ham hock or turkey so it was plain.

We went back again by chance, we saw another restaurant on our way the 1st time so we wanted to try it but they were close so since we were already in the area we stopped in again :)

Cod Fritter, Curry Goat with Coconut Rice and Snapper with Callao Rice and Spinach. Cod Fritter needed more fish but it was delicious and the sauce was perfect. Curry Goat was tender and so good, and I don’t like goat because it can be gamey but this was not gamey. Snapper in brown stew sauce, this was different but worked! I just picked up the fish with my fingers lol

Patrick the owner/chef was pleasant and a pleasure to chat with.

Food does take a bit to come out but you know it is super fresh and totally worth the wait. Luckily we were there during weekdays where there are less people.

I think we just found our favorite Jamaican restaurant.
