My Belizean Gourmet

Es muy rico

My family and I worked with Belizean Gourmet for a party we threw on July 4th. The food and service were outstanding. Everyone at the party was impressed. I would not only recommend Tara but would work with her again in a heartbeat.

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.

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.
