We had a wonderful family experience at Mobay Cafe last night. We made a reservation and the table was ready for us when we arrived - with flowers on the table. The food was AMAZING, the staff was friendly and the drinks were absolutely delicious. Everything was reasonably priced and we went home with plenty of leftovers. The place had a nice atmosphere and there is even a larger dining table in the back to host a large group. We will definitely be back for more.
Mobay is very unassuming from the outside. If you're not looking for it, you wouldn't know it's there. Use the street view in maps so you know what the building looks like. The atmosphere is wonderful. The decor is tropical in a classy style. The music has an island flare (a little too loud, but not deafening). Soft lighting. Our server Dion was a delightful young man. Friendly, patient, accommodating. There when you needed him, but scarce to let us enjoy our food and conversation. The food is just delicious. There were four of us and most of their appetizers and some sides come in a quantity of four. We each ordered a different one so we could all try each of them. We ordered the Mobay Meatballs, Shrimp Egg Rolls, Conch Fritters, and Fried Dumplings. Some sweet, some spicy. Overall great combination. Very tasty. For dinner I ordered the happy hour Jerk Chicken Sliders. Yum. They come with crinkle fries. Two people ordered the Goat and Oxtail Combo dinner because they never had either before. They loved it. One ordered the Brown Stew Chicken which is only available on Wednesdays. She said it was very good. We had NO disappointments. Overall wonderful experience with a good time being had by all.
The atmosphere is just perfect. The food is exactly what you expect from the heart of Jamaican cuisine, everything was properly seasoned to perfection. The staff is friendly and very polite and quite attentive, we didn't have to wait to be seated. Our server was Nadine, exceptional woman. The food is just WOW !!! I wish I could add more stars. This not a restaurant that claims to be "Jamaican" just for the hype of it. This is it, this is the real deal.
Amazing food. Friendly staff. Strong drinks. Rum punch was sooo good. All the food I ate was delightful. I got a chance to Dj a private party here today and I had a great experience. I will be back
I order here when I'm starving and want a lot of comfort food for a decent price. The amount they give you for the price is excellent, I recommend extra gravy to soak the heap of rice they give you. Easily can be two meals for a single order. The jerk chicken is both their best deal and their most flavorful dish, but in general everything tastes amazing. Really love this place
