Wow. One of the best meals I’ve had all year. Great service in a beautiful brownstone. The lychee mojito good but the grand bay was phenomenal. Now the appetizers are a must. All outstanding. The props shrimp and Johnny cakes 10 billion stars. Big prawns and the sauce I drank the bowl. The Johnny cakes were the best I ever had. My favorite. The coconut ginger mussels again phenomenal. Drank that sauce too. The eggrolls were good. Nice contrast with cool creamy spicy dipping sauce. The homemade seafood pasta was fantaStic. The red snapper with cool Bacar sauce yes. The oxtail insanely good. Browning sauce great. The rice n peas were yummy. Very automatic. Mango chow is cool and refresh. The rum cake was the best I ever had a worth it.

Our table tried the baby back ribs as an appetizer. Ribs were tender, smoky and uniquely seasoned in the best way. We tried two excellent entees. Three of us enjoyed the deep carribean spiced tender oxtails that were like a food hug and one person at the table had the moist smoke kissed jerk chicken. The rice and peas and joloff rice were cooked and seasoned well. Portion sizes are generous. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Background music gave a vibe to match the meal. They have a full bar. It's a good spot for a date night or a dinner out with family and friends.

Last night I had the pleasure of dining at Mango Bay and let me tell you, the food was divine! Every bite was bursting with authentic Caribbean flavor. If you're a fan of Caribbean cuisine, this spot is a must-try! For food I ordered: Goat puff pastry & the Ras & Pasta. For drinks: Passionita Bay & Mango Bay! Everything is good there. The staff is so welcoming and service is on point. Definitely check them out.

Mango Bay is a charming Caribbean-themed restaurant that truly stands out. The ambiance is delightful, with a cozy and upscale vibe that feels like a warm, inviting home. The venue features both a downstairs area and an upstairs section, which is beautifully decorated with a bookshelf and a "Do the Right Thing" sign, adding a unique touch. The service was impeccable; our waiter was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. As for the food and drinks, it was nothing short of exceptional My favorite drink was the Brooklyn love .The ackee and saltfish egg rolls were a standout, and the whole fish was cooked to perfection. I also enjoyed a ras pasta dish that was absolutely delicious. We visited for a friend's celebration, and the experience was memorable for all four of us. The pricing was reasonable, making it great value for money. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Mango Bay and will definitely return in the future.

As an afro-latino, New Yorker, and foodie, I had very high expectations for Mango Bay. There are tons of spots in Brooklyn that often sacrifice ambiance for what we actually go to the restaurants for, the food, and this place surpassed my expectations. Starting off with the decor and ambiance, this felt like dining in an authentic NY townhouse, with art that represented the Black diaspora and the culinary experience one was going to embark on. The spiral staircase, the large windows, and the open space filled the room with some much energy and visual interest. By far one of the most well designed restaurants I've been to in some time. For the food, this is where they really shined. Every app hit harder than the last, our favourite was between the pork ribs and the special, baked oysters. Think oysters Rockefeller but on STEROIDS. The flavor was as if the Caribbean and high society had a baby. And as for the pork ribs, tendernism was an understatement and the pomegranate glaze made me want to walk into the kitchen and bribe the chef for the recipe. The entrees were delicious as well, I will certainly have the braised oxtail again the next time we go, as well as the Ras and Pasta. The lamb shank was delicious but a bit too game-y for me. Lastly, as for the service they were very attentive despite what seemed like an understaffed evening. We went 2 days before Valentines Day, what I would assume is one of the busiest days of the year, and we had to wait a bit for our waiter to get back to us a few times for orders. Someone from the staff did come check on us periodically so I can tell they take great care of their guests even at their busiest! Overall, this was a great experience and Mango Bay has quickly shot to the top of my favourite spots to eat in my city.

Everyone in both dining rooms were dressed to impress including the very good at their jobs servers. Perfect place to bring your family and friends or enjoy date night. Watch Chef Maguette and her team rise to fame in real time, cause it’s only up from here. Well done Chef, congratulations!!

Service was moderate, they made sure to check in on our table & clear it off when needed. The prawns, red snapper, and lamb shank were the star of the show! The jollof & rice & peas rice could of had way more flavor, I would love to see the recipe change in the near future. I was also excited to get the Bronzino and Collard Greens but they said it wasn’t featured on the menu until the weekend. Its important to update your menu if you’re featuring different items for the day! I rate Mango Bay an 8/10, overall amazing food, presentation, and ambience. I’m very excited to see their journey, there is lots of potential and room for growth.

Mango Bay completely blew me away. I live on Long Island and randomly found this spot while I was at a college basketball game nearby and decided to stop in after. I have been doing monthly solo dates for myself and this ended up being the perfect place. The atmosphere felt so warm and welcoming. The service stood out too. The host greeted me by name when I arrived and again when I left, which made me feel genuinely valued. The ackee and saltfish egg rolls were unreal and it was my first time ever trying ackee. For my main I had the lamb shank with garlic sweet potato mash and it was fall off the bone, melt in your mouth good. The sweet plantains were just as amazing. Every bite was flavorful, comforting, and honestly one of the best meals I have had in a long time.

Everyday on my way to work, I would glance at the restaurant on my left named Mango Bay. It is located inside a beautiful Brownstone building. I checked the menu and decided one day I'm going to visit. Well, on 2/6/26 my work family celebrated my 65th birthday/retirement from The Brooklyn Hospital Center. The atmosphere is sheer ambience. As I sat there relaxing with my work family enjoying the smooth music, the waitress took our drink orders. We all had the Mock Drinks, the favorite was The Mango Baby. I had the ice tea with pineapple juice. The menu had been pre-selected. Everyone had a chance to enjoy every dish that was selected. We started with the salad and short ribs, then the oxtail and two different types of rice, then the fish (becareful of the bones), then the leg of lamb with whipped sweet potatoes. Everything was delicious, everything was delicious, and again everything was delicious. Since my birthday was being celebrated I expected the "surprise" slice of cake, but nothing came. I figured, oh well, but to my surprise a whole cake was presented to me and only my work family sang happy birthday. Don't worry, this is a swank establishment, no birthday song and clapping hands by the staff. That is totally up to your peeps😄. I wish I had gotten everyone's name but from the Greeter, Waitress, Busser, Bartender and Chef the service was very good. I highly recommend Mango Bay. We had a great meal, and a wonderful experience.

I came here before when it was called Imani’s, but coming here a second time was even better. The food was great, our server Dante was nice. I would definitely come back again.. the vibes were cozy and welcoming.

A bit louder than anticipated. Nice interior. The flavor of the fish and cook was great. Goat puff pastry was too salty with the sauce. Drinks are a bit too weak. But overall for Caribbean this is a good higher end dining experience

So I would rate this restaurant a 7/10. I would say the atmosphere is nice, the food is good and the service was okay. The ackee n saltfish rolls was the best thing I had that night. The jerk chicken was very spicy, which I know how jerk is supposed to taste but it was overly spicy. The festivals paired with it, weren’t as sweet as expected and they felt very airy almost as if it was empty. I wish my dish came with rice n peas but I had to purchase that separately while the oxtail came with rice n peas. The rice itself was spicy which wasn’t expected either but it was still good 7.5/10. Then being that it was my birthday I was expecting maybe a little free dessert but unfortunately I didn’t get any. No one asked us if the food was good or not, kind of just seemed like a rush. Weren’t even finish with the appetizer and the entrees were brought out like 5 minutes after. Also the table we had was circled and small compared to everyone else’s so it wasn’t much room to eat. OVERALL 7/10. Wasn’t really worth that amount of money in my opinion.

This weekend we had the pleasure of visiting Mango Bay restaurant in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. This unique little gem offers an elevated Caribbean menu that highlights authentic Caribbean flavor with an upscale spin. To begin we ordered the Greene Lit cocktail. This beautifully crafted cocktail blends vodka, prosecco, lime and mint and served as a perfect starter for what was to be an amazing brunch! For our main courses we ordered the Pepper Prawns and Grits and the Steak and Eggs. I am a huge shrimp and grits fan and have spent time trying this dish all over the country. I was very curious how Mango Bay would measure up with their unique take that includes a Scotch bonnet sauce as well as a pimento sauce. I can say unequivocally and without hesitation, this is the absolute best shrimp and grits I have ever had in my life!!! The balance of flavor, texture and freshness was only outdone by the masterful preparation of each component of this dish. One might be intimidated by the thought of a Scotch bonnet sauce but this chef has an unparalleled understanding of balance and it is clear that this dish was born from pure artistry and know-how!!! If you are a lover of shrimp and grits, as I am, this one is not to be missed! I would go so far as to say you have not had it right until you've had it here. I am told the steak and eggs were exquisitely prepared and the accompanying spicy aioli highlighted the beautiful, perfectly prepared steak, sunny side up egg and crispy ridged potatoes. The service was warm and friendly and the restaurant's overall atmosphere is transportational to the islands. Mango Bay is a true star of Caribbean flavor in Brooklyn. Try it, try it, try it! You will not be disappointed, nor will you find a flavor experience quite like this anywhere else in the city.

Amazing atmosphere, amazing dishes. My favorite dish was probably the goat puff pastry. I also loved the oxtail and the seafood pasta, but I wish it was mentioned on the menu that the pasta is spicy. I have a very low tolerance for spicy food, but it was still so buttery and delicious. The mango bae cocktail was my favorite and we even got a free drink, thank you! My only complaint is the included gratuity of %20 which was odd for our party of two and it was nowhere mentioned on the menu. That’s the only reason for my 4 star review, but overall definitely worth checking out!

Food is good but way too overpriced. We got the goat puff pastry to split among 3 and basically had a bite each. I got the Chase infatuation credit from dining here and it was still too expensive. We spent $215 (before the credit) for 2 apps and 2 mains, I’ve included photos of everything we ordered. I did not leave feeling full.

Extremely disappointed! IMANI was better than Mango Bay. The food was tasteless and inconsistent. We ordered 2 of the same dishes (PEPPER SHRIMP) and they both taste different. Rice and peas was bland. The pineapple chow was a disappointment also. This place is definitely overpriced for tasteless food. I also wasn't very pleased with the fact that there was an automatic gratuity added(snuck in) to the bill & it was only 2 of us. The atmosphere was great! Definitely a great place to hangout and talk,drink and finger food as long as you're not worried about the taste. Service was great! But I can't overlook the fact that the food was a disappointment! Also,could help but hear the party of 4 seated next to us having almost the same complaints with their food. This was our anniversary dinner and wished it was a better experience. Best of luck to Mango Bay. Thank you for your response @Mango Bay. So as I said,it was a dinner for 2,my wife and I and we were charged an automatic gratuity. Hopefully this doesn't happen to anyone else.

I came to this restaurant with high expectations after seeing several positive posts on social media. Unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing. The service was extremely slow, which set the tone for the evening. When the food finally arrived, it was underwhelming. The oxtail tasted watered down and lacked depth of flavor, and the pepper shrimp was inconsistently seasoned — some pieces had flavor while others were bland. The lychee drink was far too strong and extremely sour. I sent it back, but it was returned incorrectly, which only added to the frustration. Overall, it was a terrible experience, especially considering I was celebrating my birthday. I had hoped for a memorable evening, but sadly, it fell far short of expectations.

I was disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. When we first arrived, the host had an attitude toward us and did not seem very welcoming. As customers, we expect to feel comfortable and treated kindly, but that was not the case at the beginning. I believe she could work on being more friendly and professional with guests. The food was okay overall, but the chicken needed to be cooked a little more. It would have been better if it was prepared more thoroughly. However, I did notice that the host became more friendly when she brought out a drink for my mother’s birthday, which I appreciated. I just wish that same positive attitude had been shown from the start. Good customer service makes a big difference in the overall experience.

Honestly I hate to even write this review however, the experience I had here was truly disappointing and underwhelming. I've been to Mango Bay before and had a great experience. So much so that I decided to return with more friends and that was a horrible idea. We had a 7:30 reservation and requested to be seated upstairs. We were told there was only one server up there and that it wouldn't be advisable. The host begrudgingly sat us upstairs, only for us to notice there were only two tables seated at the time. Server took almost 15 mins just to greet us and at that point it felt like it was on purpose because we asked to be seated there. Granted we understood it would be a bit delayed but the fact that there were only two tables does not account for how we were treated. For a reservation at 7:30pm our appetizers did not arrive until 8:56.... An hour wait just for appetizers. Unacceptable. While we were waiting on any type of food to hit our table they began to seat more people upstairs. It becomes a bit strange when you watch tables that arrive after you get their food much faster after you've waited over an hour for any type of food. All we got was a plethora of " I'm sorrys" & "the kitchen is backed up" It sucks that that the service was so subpar because this is honestly a beautiful restaurant. The ambiance is stunning, and the food was pretty decent. They have great intentions but could use a lot of work in customer service, attention, and timing. No matter how good the food is, treatment can ruin an entire experience, and that’s exactly what happened.
