" Disappointing experience overall. I came in excited to try the Colombian food, but the quality was mediocre. The chicken in my meal was dry and lacked seasoning. Service was okay but nothing spectacular. I hope their food is better on a different day, as I would love to try more of their items! " (*Curated Review*)

" What an incredible dining experience! Moliendo Cafe truly brings the taste of Colombia to Albany. The empanadas were crispy and flavorful, and their bandeja paisa reminded me of home. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a cozy meal with friends. I would definitely recommend trying their freshly made juices too, they were delightful! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been to Moliendo Cafe several times and the quality has been consistently great! The bandeja paisa is a must-try, and I can't get enough of their green plantains. The service is typically fast and friendly, although I did have a long wait during my last visit due to a large group. It's still a go-to spot for Colombian food in Albany. " (*Curated Review*)

" Moliendo Cafe was good, but my experience did not fully meet expectations. The food itself was alright, but my steak was overcooked, and the service was a bit slow. The flavor was decent, but I've had better Colombian fare. I hope to give it another chance and try different dishes next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" My husband and I enjoyed a delicious dinner at Moliendo Cafe! The service staff was attentive, and the food tasted fresh and was well-sized. I particularly loved their soup of the day, which was hearty and flavorful. Truly a great spot if you want a taste of authentic Colombian culture! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really impressed with Moliendo Cafe! The food was simply wonderful. I had the chicken with rice and beans, and the chicken was tender and full of flavor. The service was prompt and attentive, and the whole vibe of the restaurant made me feel very relaxed. I will definitely be back to try more on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Moliendo Cafe with friends and we had a great time! The staff was friendly, and they serve generous portions. The food reminded me of authentic Colombian cooking and tasted fresh. Perfect spot for a casual dinner with good company. I’ll be recommending this place to others! " (*Curated Review*)
