Reviews
requesting a 6:30 pick up for take out. We got there at 6:35 and they told us 30 minutes. We should have left then. It’s 8:01 and I’m STILL WAITING! It’s a shame it’s only one of 2 Haitian restaurants in Manhattan, but next time we will go to Brooklyn.
We ordered the fried goat, fried pork, oxtail and Legumes, which all came with rice and small sides, and were highly tasty. Even amongst four hungry people, we left with full stomachs and leftovers.
Update: Have been back a few times and my favorite dish so far has been the Fried Snapper! Sooo good! Also tried the shrimp in sauce. Can’t go wrong with anything here. Food has been consistently flavorful and fresh each time.
While the staff was polite and the atmosphere was okay, the overall value was lacking. Unfortunately, I don’t think I would return or recommend it given the high prices and unsatisfying food.
I would rate my experience a good 5.5/10
High cost, the fish was hard like it was cooked 2 days before and just given to us, it wasn’t fresh.
I think this place can do better—
We should’ve listened to the reviews. But no — we believed, we hoped… we suffered.
The smell hits first — a potent mix of old grease, damp mop, and sadness. Flies circled like they had reservations. The vibe? If a waiting room and a storage closet had a musty love child.
Our waiter was clueless. Couldn’t explain a thing on the menu. Every question led to a deeper spiral of confusion. We ordered blindly — big mistake. Maybe the food had potential, but we were too busy dodging flies and questioning our life choices.
Dear owner: Please don’t respond. Save your breath. Spend it deep-cleaning, repainting, and hiring someone who’s heard of customer service.
Haitian food is beautiful. This place? A disgrace.
Zero stars if I could. Never again.
There are 6 tables in the restaurant. 4 that fit 4 people each and the other 2 fit 2 each.
However, I cannot understate how slow the service was. I’m a patient dude but even after acknowledging us looking at him the waiter took another 10 minutes to get us menus. Then he took a long time to take our orders.
The food came out except for our patties which didn’t come out until long after we ate our food. Not sure what took so long but one of them was still cold on the inside (maybe they were defrosting).
Then we waited a while to get our check to the point we walked up to the counter to ask for it. He said he’d bring it right out. My girlfriend used the restroom and then I used it. Dude had literally done absolutely nothing in that time (for our table or any other table). We should have been in and out in 30-40 minutes tops but it took almost 2 hours from start to end.
They accept credit cards.
