Finally a Jamaican restaurant that did not disappoint. I dined at Mobay this past weekend with 2 family members and we thoroughly enjoyed our food. We all have taste buds for authentic Jamaican food and must say we were very pleased. We ordered jerked chicken, escovitch king fish with bammie and snapper rundown. The rum cake rivals Tortuga a specialty cake from the Cayman Islands; it was simply delicious. My only complaint relates to the noise level. The restaurant has a great ambiance but because it's relatively small you're able to hear the conversation of the party 3 tables away. Everyone appeared to be shouting and then to top it off the music was also loud. Finally the staff was friendly and attentive. Our server was very pleasant and kept a smile on her face.
Pros: Great food
Cons: Too noisey

Well. I have dined from the Amalfi Coast, to the ports of Costa Rica and back again. But, I do declare: NOTHING, NOWHERE welcomes me -beckons even- like the lure of Mo Bay. Every time my plane hits the pavement- I make a beeline to this gem of an establishment. When I’m home, you can find me and my extended family (loyal Mobay patrons) posted at the bar. I can usually be spotted as the one wiping delectable bbq sauce from the corner of her mouth. Or, I’m negotiating the last of the jerked wings on the plate of my neighbor to the left. I don’t know if it’s that these folks have the only smoker in Harlem, for authentic down-home ‘cue, or, if it’s just a mojo they have in that kitchen. Whatever it is, it has put a spell on me! Mobay will capture you within her warm, capable hands- their menu satisfying whatever it is you fancy. The setting is at once lavish and intimate in muted tones; the entertainment consistently hot, and the service, in my experience, has always been attentive and friendly. Mobay is EXACTLY what Harlem has needed for a long time now- a refuge, a balm amidst relentless city tempos… It has become the place, “where everybody knows your name.” Find me there…
Pros: Consistently Excellent Cuisine; Beauty-FULL Decor
Cons: What's not to love? May be habit-forming; it's a good thing :)
