Finally had some time to give this place a try after smelling it for so long lol. I was greeted promptly and service was great. The lady that took my order was kind and provided me with lots of helpful info since this was my first time here. I opted for the Creole Chicken Bowl, which came with a side of small pickled veggies on the side. The rice was yummy and the chicken was extremely flavorful. Not only was the meal extremely filling, it was absolutely delicious and packed with flavor. I'm excited to go again and try more of their items!

It's indeed a hole in the wall. There is no seating available but when I tell you, if you're seeking haitian food to go, this is your spot. The food was superb!! Fresh, authentic, and the service was super friendly. I ordered the fried fish with black rice, plantains and a salad. It was enough to feed two (but of course, instead of sharing, I enjoyed my leftovers. It was too good to share!

The meat smelled rotten, not just "off," but genuinely spoiled. I called the next day to give feedback, and instead of listening or apologizing, the woman I spoke with was extremely defensive and tried to blame me. She said the food went bad because I "took too long to pick it up." That explanation makes absolutely no sense. I was born in Haiti, I grew up around freshly cooked Caribbean food, and I have never seen properly made food spoil in an hour and a half just from sitting. To make matters worse, I ordered a pâté, and the gentleman literally microwaved it and handed it back to me. It was not fresh at all. What's really disappointing is that I used to order from here and had better experiences in the past, but clearly the quality has gone downhill. Between spoiled food, reheated items, and defensive customer service, I would not recommend this place to anyone. Food safety should never be this questionable.

The first thing that made me happy was grilled goat since many of the meats are typically fried. The grilled goat was fantastic. The flavor and the sauce were so good. The rice was also pretty good. The griot was soft and seasoned well. The rice was soft and flavorful. My other favorite part of the meal with the legume. It was so good that I went back to get more a few days later! The prices are a little high and the wait can be long, which is why it's a 4 and not a 5. Overall, we really enjoyed this place and we'll be back. I highly recommend if you're looking for good Haitian on this side of town.

This was disappointing to say the least. I wanted to support Haitian restaurants on Haitian Flag…read moreDay so I'm like, let me order from one of the most popular Haitian restaurants in Massachusetts. To be quite honest, the food was very subpar and lacked authentic Haitian flavor. To make matters worse, the quantity was disappointing as you can see in the photos attached. $24 plate of meatballs with only four burnt meatballs and overfilled rice that didn't even take authentic? Also, I ordered beef legume and it definitely had pork in it and the pork didn't taste good. The food was not properly secure so the sauce fell in the bag on the way to me via DoorDash. I would honestly say if you are craving Haitian food that tastes like your family made it, you might want to go somewhere else. If you are okay with a sort of revitalized Haitian cuisine, feel free to order from here.

I've wanted to try this place for a while and it was a great opportunity this week when I went into…read morethe office. This place is right in the Kendall Square area, an easy walk from all of the tech companies. 10 piece fried chicken - Chicken was decent sized and definitely not bulk ordered chicken. This was marinated and spiced in-house. It had good strong flavor, with a hint of ginger that stood out. I think it's ginger, at least. Enjoyable, not dry at all. I would get it again. Chicken cheese patties - they were dry and not that cheesy at all. This saddens me as the place prior to them opening served the best chicken cheese patties in the area. Chicharron - Kind of over cooked and dry. The skin is definitely crispy - almost to a fault as most were too hard to enjoyably bite into. The dryness was the worse. Plaintains were okay, tasted more like potatoes but I think thats how they are supposed to taste anyways. Service was good. Checkout was easy with tap-to-pay. The place looks clean and had 2 or 3 small tables inside.

I ordered many things off their menu from their stewed beef, stewed chicken, the empanadas, etc. The staff there are really nice and the space is always clean. Every time I am pleased with their food. Recently I tried their oxtail and my only critique is that they need to let them cook longer to get tender. Some pieces were a bit tough but there was one piece I had to throw away because it was extremely tough. Once they make the oxtail more tender? GAME OVER! Overall I love this place!

I ordered my faves--bef pate and a griyo platter. Everything was delicious. I love pate and this one did not disappoint. Griyo was perfectly crisp and the rice and beans were flavorful.

The lomo was pretty good but especially the juice that it's covered in. It's a pretty good sized dish. Most of the stars of this review are due to this dish.

I also tried the tres leches cake, which had an okay taste but was a bit dry in the center.
