Really was excited to have a meal here, it’s been on my list for a long time. We enjoyed the atmosphere and the service was very friendly. We had drinks within 5 minutes and they have authentic Jamaican ginger beer! Loved that. Apps within 15 minutes. The egg rolls were delicious! Easily our favorite part of the entire meal. The veggie Jamaican patties were also really tasty. Unfortunately we didn’t feel as great about our meals. He ordered the jerk chicken which is labeled “spicy.” The chicken was hit or miss on which pieces were dry and which weren’t, and it was not as spicy as he hoped. My husband said it was a 2, maybe a 3 on the spice scale. I had the chickpea squash curry. It was hearty and warm but really lacking in flavor. It was labeled “medium spicy” but it was not at all. And I’m sensitive to spice. And I regrettably didn’t really see much squash in the dish. It was like a few sautéed thinly sliced veggies with an entire can of chickpeas and a small bit of sauce. We also got the stuffed plantains. The texture was great, the flavor was almost non existent. Overall, the dinner lacked seasoning and depth of flavor. It lacked salt. No salt or pepper even on the table. And was a bit dry. Would benefit so much from condiments and sauce. We tipped generously, we enjoyed our experience overall. We would like to return and try a few other dishes. We would like to support local businesses! I hope we enjoy the next dishes we try a bit more.

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.

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.

Phenomenal dinner tonight. We tried shrimp egg rolls, jerk chicken, and oxtail. The oxtail was melt in your mouth. So yummy! Will definitely return.

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

First time having Caribbean cuisine and it was amazing! Jerk chicken was hot but absolutely delicious. The staff is amazing and friendly. Price is fair for the quality and portion size. Definitely will be going back.
