G&T CAFE — Restaurant in Town of Colonie

Listen up, everyone! I’ve stumbled upon a hidden gem, and this time, it’s tucked away in the Colonie Center mall food court. G&T Cafe, a low-key spot specializing in Caribbean cuisine, grabbed my attention the moment I saw it. The menu was so intriguing that it was almost impossible to choose just one dish. I decided on the jerk chicken over rice with seasoned steamed cabbage. To say the flavor was incredible would be an understatement. The chicken was cooked to perfection—tender and succulent. The rice was moist, and the cabbage had a satisfying bite. Every element on the plate was a true delight. The customer service was also fantastic. The cashier enthusiastically recommended the curry, and the cook shared his personal input, which ultimately convinced me to try the jerk chicken. Their friendly suggestions made the ordering experience all the better. The atmosphere is what you'd expect from a mall food court, but it was clean and well-kept. They had a variety of dishes on display, which was a nice touch. No complaints here.

Finally had a bite to eat here. Ordered the oxtails with rice. Meat was generously seasoned, nicely browned and fall off the bone tender. If you're afraid of oxtails--don't be! Very flavorful and like eating short ribs or pot roast. Rice and beans were very flavorful and rich. Could serve as a meal itself. Veggies are included too. I had cabbage which was a tad mushy but tasty.

Menu prices are higher than other vendors in food court. Large chicken and rice starts at $10 plus $4 beverage plus tax and you will be prompted for a trip. My oxtail meal was $20 plus tax , tip and drink came to about $30. Nice meal. But be prepared to be set back...

Amazing! Got the goat curry with potatoes, rice, cabbage, and beans and it’s simply phenomenal. The meat is so incredibly tender and flavorful and the rice was cooked to perfection. The portion is huge and easily serves two or 1 with leftovers. I was so impressed with the amount of meat you get for a $16 price. I will absolutely be coming back and I highly recommended giving this place a try. The spices were perfectly balanced without being too spicy and the rice and beans were some of the best I’ve ever had. The cabbage will melt in your mouth. AMAZING for food court food. So so so good if you’re in the mall and need a...
