    I came here on a late night Saturday there was still a lot of food available. I'm a fan of Haitian food and I want to be able to taste all dishes available that I have yet to try. This night in particular I decided to try the Lalo. It was so good! The beef was an added pleasure. I can't wait to try the next best thing on the menu!

    This place has authentic Haitian Fritay. I come here every time I'm in the neighborhood and have been loyal to this place for years and I'm never let down. Their Fritay is always consistent and service is always fast. Their food is buffet style/pre made so even though it's good, it's not super fresh. If you want super fresh Fritay you'd have to go to Kal's Bakery a few blocks over -- but you'd have to wait a while for it. But if you're on the go, definitely come here! I also LOVE their pickliz recipe and their meat is always well-seasoned.

    Hair all in my gravy. There was more but I'm scared I ate it already. Just nasty.
    Dinah T.

    I'm not sure what I'm looking at but it looks like they served me hair with my gravy. I heard they were good and thought to try them out. This was my second and last visit but I'm going to make sure I call the health department because I paid for my food I was polite and the disrespect was real. Now I feel like they did some kind of voodoo to me. I see if it was one piece of hair like when I opened the cup but to find out it was a lot at the bottom of my cup!

    I really enjoyed going here and was happy we saw it near the Haitian bakery we visited a few minutes before. I meant to go to pascal's down the block but couldn't find it and it was painfully cold out. The service was friendly and it was moderately busy with different sets of Haitians (young couples, 20's something guy friends, a small family). It seems well liked and a few were regulars based on the conversation. I wanted the goat but it was pricier than I wanted to spend at the moment so I got legume and 4 akra. It's .50/akra so a nice and cheap appetizer/side. My friend got fritaye with griot (fried pork shoulder chunks), akra (root veggie fritter), dumplings, patat (Haitian potato?), banan peze (plantain) and a spiral cut sausage link. We split a medium black rice and beans. It came out to like $21 or so and we're on our 2nd serving each with more left. Everything had a nice spice to it and full of flavor. The lady threw 2 griot chunks in my legume which was nice since I didn't want to spend on the goat. It had corn in the legume which I'm not used to but it was still really good. I hope they have crab legume which is my favorite. Literally everything was really good with rich flavor and spice but not just hot. The patat was surprisingly good and akra had the most heat so it can be filling on its own. Haitians seem to have the best sides. I'm definitely going again to sample more!

    Best place to go to if you are craving that late night fritaille hunger you have been trying to die down since 6PM and it is now 9:20. This place used to be called YoYo Fritaille. Recently they were renovated (i guess) and they changed their name from YoYO Fritaille to BeBe (Boo!! so corny) Order thier orginal fritaille which I had to wait over 10 mins for because they were being fried (-_- can u tell my frustration yet?) 15 mins later still not served. I wanna smack the griot out of everyone working there wtf!!!

    Griot combination
    Amy W.

    Get the griot combination for $10.00. Of course the pikliz which is free. Any additional pikliz, there is a charge. A side of sos pwa is $2.00 and is super tasty! The take out area is clean and the line moves quickly. Worth a visit for authentic haitian fried yumminess!

Firstly it was lunchtime and there were a number of tables filled. Looks like it was a lot of nearby lunch goers, good choice!

You can tell they season the flour and the fish. The gravy was awesome and the black rice and beans was nice n hearty. I brought my leftovers home to my son who devoured it. We also had drinks and those were well made and good as well. This my new Haitian spot.

Well not at this one! Should've listened to the recommendations we received from others, but after looking at the high reviews, plus it was close to subway station we decided to try. What a costly $164 Dollar mistake! Literally soon as we landed back home we went to our normal favorite spot to get real Haitian food. Im still dumbfounded on how you mess up RICE! My young daughter said she makes better rice! The Chicken on her dish had a bad sour aftertaste. Vistors beware of this spot and the reviews!

That griot sandwich was everything I needed and more. Full of flavor, cooked perfectly, and very affordable which made it even better. The plantains were hot, fresh, and just right.

The space is beautiful and very well decorated, and the servers were kind and knowledgeable about the menu. I ordered the djon djon rice bowl with oxtail, the fritay platter, and soup joumou, and we also tried the Sunday special with white rice and sos pwa. My dish came out after everyone else's, so I ended up taking it to go, which was disappointing. The fritay platter was a highlight. The plantains were crispy and the akra and marinade were well seasoned. My mom enjoyed her soup, but felt the sos pwa was a bit watery and could have been thicker. When I got home, the rice had a great texture but the aroma smelled slightly burnt, maybe they were going for a smoky flavor. The oxtail was well flavored, but I did find a small piece of plastic in my rice, which was concerning. Overall it was okay, but it did not blow me away. I have had better Haitian food at cookouts or family gatherings, though if this is your first time trying Haitian food, you may enjoy it.

However, this is a hidden gem you should try. It appears to be a family owned restaurant.

We also came on an extremely hot day and sadly their A/C system wasn't working so it was on the warmer side. Not unbearable but a bit uncomfortable, so just keep that in mind if that's the case when you show up. What I will say when it comes to the experience and food is that it doesn't get more authentic than this. I asked for a recommendation and was told to order the griot, which was well seasoned and quite large portion size wise. The plate came with a rice of choice, two fried plantain, beans, pikliz and dipping sauce for the meat. Not bad for $20. I ordered to go because I had an event to go to, but can attest that they do a great job of plating their dishes when you dine in. If I'm ever in NYC again I wouldn't mind returning, dining in and hopefully trying something different like their Kalalou or legume which looks incredible.

I knew I wanted griot (fried pork) with black rice, so that's what I ordered. They were busy, so my food took about 30 minutes to be ready. I was fine with the wait. The bar seats were comfy and I was on my phone. There was also loud reggae music playing from the other room, so I was jammin. I got home and dug into my food and it was almost perfect. The griot was delicious. Just crunchy enough on the outside and tender on the inside. The black rice was a little disappointing, but nothing major. I love black rice, but it lacked flavor. Luckily they give you a side of gravy, which was tasty. I should've taken the girl at the counter up on her offer to get an extra side of gravy. I still devoured everything though. It also came with fried plantain. I'm not a huge fan of unsweet plantain, but it was good when I added the picklez to it. Picklez is spicy, so tread lightly if you don't like heat. 5 stars for Anmwey. I will certainly return.
