Cafe Mobay

Never tried Jamaican cuisine? You should try it here! When you enter the restaurant, it definitely gives a very relaxed Caribbean feel. Although I wasn't familiar with the restaurant, choosing the Sorrel (one of the homemade drinks) was the best choices. It was refreshing and energizing at the same time. I toggled between ordering the Braised oxtails, and the Curry Goat Stew. I chose the Curry Goat Stew. It did not disappoint! A full hot plate of savory food! Great balance of curry and flavor on the Curry Goat Stew. The rice and yams complemented the curry goat to perfection. My only regret was not trying out more from the menu! Well done!

I celebrated my birthday here with good friends, and the service and food were excellent. The portions were generous—we shared among three people and still had leftovers. The atmosphere was great—peaceful, accommodating, and friendly. I highly recommend this place!

8/11/24; 8/13/24 & 8/16/24 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.

Good Day - In NJ providing care for a family member and plan to be here for a while. Being West Indian, I always have a taste for rice & peas and either some curry goat, chicken, or oxtails. I Googled some food spots closest to me and MoBay Cafe pulled up and was within 12 mins. COOL! Jumped in the car and got to this spot that as soon as you walk in . . . the vibes hit you of good smells, music, and being someplace authentic. Ordered the curry chicken and was not disappointed!!!! Food was HOT, fresh, and had my stomach growling as I drove back to family member's home! Sat down and had an awesome meal that had me curled up sleeping about 40 mins later! Will be going back to try other items off the menu! Prices weren't insane either considering what is in the area. Hands down one of the best restaurants where the food matches the ambience and vibes!

Took wifee out for Valentines day weekend, I had Curry Goat Stew, Wifee had Oxtail peas and rice. I believe it was Cod Fish cake fritters and Vegetable dumplings for our Appetizers. The atmosphere and service was pleasant, peaceful and amazing. We cannot wait to revisit.

Excellent food, cooked to perfection. Exceptional service. Warm and inviting. The right vibe and delicious food, you will leave here feeling appreciated and full.

I made a reservation for 10 adults and 3 children for a Friday evening to celebrate my mother in law's birthday. Cafe Mobay was such a pleasureable and memorable experience for my family. The food was delicious and it was clear that it was made with love. They are also a byob spot that offers mocktails, which was a great touch! They were very patient and understanding of our 3 children and even made french fries for them, which were not offered on the menu. The serving sizes were good and the prices were very reasonable. We plan to definitely return in the future! Thank you so much Lily for your amazing service!

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.
