Pearl of the Caribbean — 10/10, no notes ✨
You know how Caribbean spots can be a gamble—long waits, missing items, or vibes that feel… chaotic? Not here. Pearl of the Caribbean understood the assignment.
First of all, the place was super clean (already a win). The passion fruit juice? Absolutely elite—bright, fresh, and dangerously good. Food is made to order, so yes, there’s a wait—but trust me, it’s worth it.
I ordered the griot fritay with boulet (meatballs) and baby… the seasoning was on point, perfectly salted, crispy where it should be, tender where it matters. The accra? Marinated to perfection—every bite hit. I even spotted a platter of djon djon rice that was actually black—you can tell they’re using real djon djon, not that liquid shortcut nonsense. Respect.
To top it off, the front desk ladies were so kind and welcoming, which honestly seals the deal.
Stopped by Sunday, Dec 28 around 7pm and left already planning my next visit.
Pearl of the Caribbean is a gem—will absolutely be back. ️

Omg, I went there I asked for griot to be fried soft . Got home to realize that the griot was hard almost broke My teeth went back Let them know. They took it back and still put the same griot in a smaller container. I told her that it still was hard. That’s when they took the time out to refry some fresh ones I guess I bought another plate of beef legume for my friend .. to where the beef was so hard to chew he spit it out . We were very upset due to the money spent over $60 for food that was awful…like why be overly priced for food that’s not worth it . At one point the food used to be fresh and good now I guess they’re getting lazy and just don’t care about the food quality.

I ordered both a griot dinner and a salmon dinner from this Haitian restaurant, and unfortunately the entire experience was disappointing.
The griot, which should be well-seasoned, flavorful fried pork, was surprisingly bland. The meat didn’t have that traditional spicy, garlicky, citrus kick you expect from Haitian cuisine. It tasted under-seasoned, almost like it hadn’t been marinated long enough, and the outside wasn’t as crispy as it should be. The accompanying sides didn’t stand out either and did nothing to make up for the lack of flavor in the main dish.
The salmon dinner wasn’t any better. The fish was cooked just okay, but again there was almost no seasoning. It tasted plain and uninspired, like something you could easily make at home without much effort. For a restaurant — especially one representing a cuisine known for bold spices and rich flavors — this was really underwhelming.
On top of that, I specifically ordered djon djon rice, but instead I received regular rice and beans. Not only was it not what I ordered, but the rice and beans themselves were very plain and greasy, with almost no flavor. It felt careless and rushed, like there was no attention paid to either accuracy or quality.
Overall, the food was subpar and didn’t reflect the quality or flavor I expect from Haitian cuisine. Between the bland griot, the unseasoned salmon, and the incorrect, greasy rice and beans, I left feeling unsatisfied and disappointed, and I wouldn’t go out of my way to order from here again.

One of the cashiers was nice. So props to her she was really sweet. I ordered fried turkey they gave me a plate full of fat so I told them I only have fat and showed it to them. They remade it. The red beans and rice had this burnt taste and a funny color. So I asked if I could just get plantains instead, the cook came out and was like nope give her money back. I’m like that’s not what I wanted I just wanted plantains, she was like girl please im just gonna give your money back. I left and said yall never have to worry about my business here again. Disgusting service!!!!! Like never in my life.

Happy New Years!!! It was a little busy but everyone was ordering the soup joumou. Happily they were getting the orders out fast and the soup was delicious. Great place for your favorite Haitian dishes and I recommend to anyone who is hungry for something good.

I ordered Lalo through DoorDash and there was blue rubber bands and a metal wire in my food. I literally cut the top part of my mouth due to the wire. I called the location and no one answered. I will be taking legal action regarding this. Please DO NOT EAT HERE

Arriving in Florida, I sought out delicious Haitian cuisine and had a craving for griot (fried pork). Pearls of the Island Caribbean exceeded my expectations.
Upon entering, I noticed the space was immaculately clean and vibrant. The cashier warmly welcomed me as I placed my order. Arriving during their lunch hours, I enjoyed the griot lunch special, complete with black rice, fried plantain, and a drink, all for under $12. My cousin told me their Mac and cheese was delicious, so I also placed a side order. The Mac and cheese were worth the wait. My overall meal left me full and happy! Glad to have found this place and will definitely keep it on my list of places to eat when visiting Florida.

This is such a wonderful restaurant. Not only do they have the best Griot I’ve ever had, their customer service is unmatched. I’m always greeted by beautiful smiles and friendly very sweet women in the front who are there to help. Highly recommend. Also one of the cleanest places I’ve been to period! I tell all my friends about this place constantly. Always highly recommend
