I cannot express enough how thrilled we were with the phenomenal brunch provided by MBG Catering for my mother's 70th birthday celebration! The food was an absolute triumph! Every dish was bursting with flavor. From the breakfast potatoes to the empanadas- everyone was commenting on how great it tasted. Beyond the incredible food, the professionalism and attentiveness of the catering coordinator, Tara, throughout the planning process were exemplary. She was responsive, accommodating, and genuinely invested in bringing our vision to life. They arrived punctually and seamlessly set up the buffet. I cannot recommend MBG Catering enough for any special occasion. Their passion for culinary excellence, unparalleled professionalism, and commitment to customer satisfaction make them the go-to choice for catering needs. Thank you, for making my mother's 70th birthday celebration an unforgettable affair. We are forever grateful for your outstanding service! More...

We ordered brunch for 150 people. Island waffle and banana foster pancakes were a HIT! The shrimp and grits were delicious. Everyone at the office gave a thumbs up! More...

MBG catered our office party last week and the food was delicious. The big winner was the brisket, which melts in your mouth and had a yummy sauce. The BBQ chicken and honey grilled chicken were juicy and incredibly tasty as well. The green beans were still crunchy, which is how I like them to be, and the pasta primavera that was made without dairy was a great accompaniment to our meal. Tara was professional and a great communicator during the whole process of creating the menu, adjustments to delivery time, and during the actual delivery and set up. I would definitely consider using MBG Catering again for future events. More...

This week Jan 3rd, I order a fantastic meal for my office to kick off its return from the Holiday. There are no words to express how DOPE it was, but I will try. The care and eye to detail started with a call from Tara for clarity and to make sure there was an understanding of what I truly needed. 5 stars! The delivery was prompt, the packaging ,presentation, quantity and quality was as advertised....gourmet! We here at Chobani, were completely blown away with the: Beef brisket, Grilled BBQ chicken, 4 cheese mac N cheese, the garlic green bean and the mixed salad. Hands down it was an amazing culinary experience. Thank you Tara and team....you have new clients, as I look forward to the rest of your menu~ More...

Tara was very responsive and her food was delicious. She provided catering for my Friendsgiving . She gave great feedback for the food pallet. My guest raved about her shrimp and overall loved the food. Everything was hot and she provided a-lot of things that’s caters normally don’t provide. I am looking forward to recommending Tara for future caterings More...

I have been using MBG Catering services for several years now and could not be more pleased with both the quality of the food as well as Tara’s consistent level of professionalism. She has catered my large events (75 pple) and even my smaller events (8 pple). I employ her services multiple times a year for bbqs, school events, holidays, birthdays and so much more! Tara goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect and this summer even drove to the Hamptons to deliver food for my event because I simply trusted no one else but her to cater. Her food is beyond delicious and my friends and family continue to confirm just how talented and amazing she is! She simply does not disappoint!! More...

Used MBG to cater my my mothers 70th birthday party. I didn’t really know what I wanted to order or how much. Tara was very patient and helpful. She helped me to create a menu for the party. On the day of the event, the food was amazing! I had the oxtails, chicken, mac and cheese, empanadas green beans, rice and beans and plantains. All so good. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how good the food was. We will definitely use MBG in the future. I would highly recommend this business to anyone that asks! More...

Tara is an amazing caterer. I booked her for my birthday bash and she did a phenomenal job! Very professional, organized, and friendly! You can tell that she loves her craft because it reflects in her work. What I enjoyed the most is her ability to be detail-oriented when it came to bringing the menu that I picked for my event to come to life so beautifully.

I attempted to work with this business since they are one of the few that cook Belizean food. Literally the hardest thing to find. However I think its ridiculous to charge a $1,500 minimum for catering especially when the owner is not responsive or seemingly friendly to your outreach. When I initially messaged her I never got a response this was on Instagram and her website (months past). I messaged her again on FB and she abruptly informed they only do catering, it took an hour before she responded to my next message and then sent me a menu with no prices..... I did not get a response after i requested pricing for items. The customer service needs to be way better. I would not recommend. More...

The food was a 10/10! My Belizean Gourmet catered a dinner at my job and the owner was very accommodating. This was my first experience eating authentic Belizean cuisine and the food was absolutely amazing. I’ve never had potato salad prepared that way and it was so creamy and delicious! The plantains were sweet, the rice and beans were seasoned well and the bread pudding was on point! I highly recommend them for your food and catering needs! More...

Good food. My guests loved the most: stuffed mashrooms with veggie and crab. Salmon also was very good. Before you order food from MBG catering, double check with Tara if you are not ordering too much. I had 30 guests but the amount of food I had will feed 50 people. More...

OMG, I HAD THEIR FOOD YESTERDAY FOR THE FIRST TIME AND I HAVEN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT THOSE DARN SHRIMPS SINCE. My family and I are from Brooklyn, N. Y., but we came to Teaneck, NJ, to visit a family who was at Holy Name Med. Cur. We were hungry so we looked up nearest area and came upon this establishment. Let me explain, from the menu pictures, alone, our mouths started to water. So we sped down there where my family ordered 2 meals, l was not hungry so I said I pass. They ordered the...Red Snapper w Mac cheese and kale second order.....fr. chicken wings, Mac and cheese, Kale. OMG, they give a great amount, food is totally fresh and the taste, divine. Now after they finished their meals, we ordered to go....2 more orders of Red Snapper, Mac and cheese w Kale. IIIIIIIIII was not going to miss this round, so i ordered.....Fried Shrimps, Sweet Potatoe fries w Kale. Well people, when I opened up my container at home, I was in heaven. 14, yes I said 14 large fried SHRIMPS, delicious sweet Potatoe fries w Kale, ketchup and mayo ketchup. OMG, it was awesomely delicious and I haven't been able to stop thinking about that food. God bless the hands that prepare that food. I will end this review w this, we are going to make it our business to get there again, and I'm bringing home more than one dish!!!!!!! My family and I are in ????????????????????? More...

My Belizean Gourmet catered my wedding on October 4, 2014. Having the food catered by My Belizean Gourmet was one of the best decision wedding decisions I made. Most places in Teaneck have only caribbean food or only soul food and I wanted to have the both styles of food for my wedding. My Belizean Gourmet fit exactly what I was looking for. From the time I walked through the door I knew that My Belizean Gourmet would be my wedding caterer. Tara is such a sweetheart and was very accommodating even when the guest list went from an estimate of 175 wedding guests to a final count of 259 wedding guests. My wedding menu consisted of stew goat, grilled chicken, barbecue chicken, baked salmon with a thai chili sauce, baked macaroni and cheese, rice and beans, yellow rice, collard greens with smoked turkey, and mixed vegetables. My husband and I had a tasting of the food and everything was immaculate. The grilled chicken, stew goat, and rice and beans had great flavor. In general, I do not like barbecue chicken but even that was really good. The collard greens and mixed vegetables were well-seasoned and the yellow rice was well-cooked. The salmon was the talk of our wedding menu (which was my favorite also). All of our guests loved the food and are still talking about the salmon to this day! We've also had a few of our guests use My Belizean Gourmet for their own events after the wedding. More...

My honest opinion is that if they open their store more than 3 days a week, their business would be a lot better and give them an opportunity to take off. The staff is very friendly.The food is okay. Its not all that, I’ve had much better. I tried the stewed chicken (was not crazy about it at all) it had way to many bones in it..The mac & cheese was okay, a little salty & garlicky. I've had the brisket..kind of bland, not much flavor and they were very chintzy with it. Their cole slaw was not good at all. It was basically shredded cabbage with mayo..THATS IT..No flavor, no sugar, raisins, carrots..nothing..Their overall menu did not have much to choose from and the prices are extremely overpriced.Would I eat there again, probably. In general, their restaurant game needs to be stepped up a bit if they want to succeed, especially in a area where you have a lot of competition and being next door to 2 other restaurants, whose food is very good.I understand being sort of new on the block, but they have had plenty of time to get their act together if they expect to make it in Teaneck.
