After a long day of shopping on Christmas Eve I came to MG Cafe to get a rice and peas meal with jerk chicken and an order of chow mein. The food was really really nice and the portions was filling.Great customer service and Great food what more do want from a mall food court, pepper sauce was one of the best. All the food really brought me back home. Really recommend the place. 10/10

This is the best eatery in the capital region. Who would guess that a food court eatery can create such delicious food. I give this place 5 stars for taste, aroma and plating. I know that the food is placed in a tin but the placement is pleasing to the eyes.Vegetarian options: You can purchase all ground food.Kid-friendliness: Any child that loves Caribbean roots will enjoy the food and exotic drinks from M G Cafe.

Excellent food and service! I tried the curry goat, jerk chicken, cook up rice and roti. Everything was delicious.

I went on a trip to the mall with my best friend and we have very different tastes when it comes to food. After eyeing up my options, I noticed MG Cafe in the corner with the Guyana flag.They have a lunch menu that’s about $10 and I believe it’s discounted for mall employees. There are also daily specials, and I was fortunate enough to catch the oxtail. It was about $18 and came with rice & beans and cucumber.Their oxtail was genuinely some of the best I’ve had in the area. They aren’t quite as spicy as I’m used to, but there’s a good amount of meat on them and they taste home-cooked. Best of all — they’re not greasy like other restaurants sometimes prepare them. The rice and beans were also really good and well-seasoned, too. There was enough food leftover to have seconds later, so I would say it was a good deal. And you grab one of the $10 pick-2 options, you can easily get two meals out of $5.I wish I’d been able to try more from MG Cafe but was surprised to learn they’ve been at this location for two years! This is definitely a good reason to visit Colonie Center more often. It was one of the highlights of my day and I look forward to visiting again soon!

I've been here a few times now and it was amazing each time so I decided to leave a review. The Guyananese Chicken, Curried Chicken, and the Oxtail are all phenomenal! The Rice and Peas (Beans) are some of the best and most flavorful I've ever had! This is better than the majority of Jamaican Restaurants in the area. These guys are awesome business men and I highly recommend getting something to eat at this wonderful establishment.
Better grab two napkins and hold on. It's amazing!

It’s was different than Jamaican Oxtails, which is to be expected. Overall it wasn’t the best I’ve had is a nice way of saying it.The Oxtail came with cabbage and rice and pea (turns out it’s black eyed peas) Taste too much like Cinnamon , very sweet and no spice. The cabbage taste the same way too much cinnamon and was too sweet. Was very disappointed, over hyped. The Curry Chicken was better just needed salt. Probably wouldn’t try again.

Food is always fresh and always good. My faves are the Rasta pasta, red beans and rice, oxtail, and j*** chicken. The zaza bowl was really good too. The guys there are always super nice and very accommodating. I literally only go to the mall for their food. And huge bonus, you never have to ask for extra gravy iykyk. I always eat before getting a pic but I'll be sure to update my review my next visit.
