    NY Mag recent article featuring BunNan
    Fawn G.

    Congratulations to Bunnan, featured in a recent New York Magazine focused on affordable eating borough by borough. Bunnan was featured in the Brooklyn portion to definitely eat at. Their griot bowl was highlighted with a photo and description. I was fortunate to attend a Brooklyn Elite event last year and the griot bowl was a stunner.. a generous portion of pork and Haitian delights: plantains are a knockout and the picklz condiment is a knockout. I will go back to dine on the jerk chicken pizza which is another knockout. The owner, Nadege Flurimond, is welcoming and has a great personality. Bunnan uses plantains as the starter for it all vs. bread. Knockout menu! BUNNAN 1248 Flatbush Avenue

    Jerk chicken rice bowl and passion fruit lemonade

    The service is attentive. Race had good energy (that's his name). We just walked in to grab food on a dead Tuesday. The food took about 20 to 25 minutes, but the wait was filled was good conversation. Let's get into the food! We had 2 sliders with sweet plantain, 1 griot (fried pork) and tassot (goat), AMAZING ! The perfect amount of spice and sweet. I ordered a rice bowl with jerk chicken. I wouldn't order that again because the chicken was really salty and spicy. I've been told Haitians don't have a " jerk" taste. So it made sense that the taste was off. We also had a Tassot plantain boat. This was really good but spicy. Everything we ordered had pickleys on the side.

    Chicken and plantain waffle

    Two visits in two days, the flavor was that good: today's chicken & plantains waffle with Kremas syrup was the best chicken & waffles of my life. Beautiful presentation, to boot. My prior visit I enjoyed the plantain lasagna that doesn't look like much but it was a flavor riot. Staff both visits were incredibly friendly with myself and all of the customers. Saturday visit included a live DJ. One visit I sat at the bar and watched Haitian cooking shows on their TV by reading the subtitles. Second visit I sat by the window and felt like I was in the jungle. I haven't written a Yelp review in years, but this place was so good I had to.

    Visited family and went for a casual brunch on a Saturday. Not too busy inside just 1-2 other parties. Small place but very nice tropical decor. The had a DJ and I thought the music was great. At the risk of sounding old, it was a littttttle too loud for me personally. Gave me the vibe of a bottomless brunch place so I was surprised they didn't offer bottomless. I ordered the sweet plantain oxtail sandwich which came with a side salad, as well as a rosemary biscuit. It was delicious! Very flavorful and perfectly spiced. I was going to order iced coffee with non dairy milk but they were out of almond milk so I switched to the passion fruit lemonade and it hit the spot. Service was friendly and quick. Cool spot!

    I went to Bunnan with my mom and her friends. The plan was for me to just drop them off at a concert, but when it got cancelled, I joined them for dinner instead. None of us had been there before, so it was our first time trying it together. I started with a chicken patty as my appetizer and also ordered the griot rice bowl for my main dish. My mom ordered the lanbi (conch) rice bowl. The table came with plantain chips, which was a nice little start. My mom really enjoyed her food and kept saying how good it was. I thought mine was okay, but I wish they had more rice options like diri kole or diri pwa vet. I am not a fan of djon djon rice, but I was willing to try it. The highlight for me was the griot plantain slider. That thing was amazing. The pork was tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. The plantains added just the right touch of sweetness, and the whole thing had a little kick that woke up my taste buds in the best way. Honestly, that was my favorite part of the meal. Our waiter, Race, was awesome. He was friendly, patient, and had such a good attitude. You could tell he genuinely cared about making sure everyone was comfortable and happy. The restaurant itself was really nice inside. The atmosphere felt warm and welcoming, and I loved seeing people from all backgrounds enjoying the food. Haitian food just has that power to bring everyone together. They do not serve alcohol yet, but that is only because they are in the process of getting their license. I can already imagine how fun the vibe will be once they do. Overall, I would go back (and try something different next time). I actually wish I ordered the pizza because it sounded really good. Still, I left full and happy, and it was nice to see a Haitian restaurant with such a warm atmosphere and great service. I'm excited to come back once their drink menu is up and running.

    My brother and I got together to get lunch. When ai arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked in and was greeted and we sat. We were served by John and he nice. We ordered: Passion Fruit Lemonade Jerk Chicken Plaintain Sandwich Goat Rice Bowl Red Snapper Pizza The food was delicious and my favorite definitely was the pizza! I had a good experience all in all!

    Oxtail-Rice Bowl
    Lottie L.

    First time visiting BunNan Haitian Restaurant in Flatbush with a party of nine, and the restaurant was clean and welcoming. Our server, Jimmy, was excellent, friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable about the menu. Jimmy started us off with plantain chips. The first portion felt a bit small for our group, but the refill was much more satisfying. The appetizers were tasty, and overall the food was flavorful. We ordered the jerk chicken plantain pizza, fried pork plantain pizza, and two oxtail rice bowls. All dishes were delicious; however, the oxtail rice bowl was disappointing. Why? Not due to lack of flavor, but because it lacked meat and had too much bone for the price, which both my husband and I noticed. On a positive note, Jimmy's recommendation of the plantain bread pudding was spot on and greatly appreciated. His outstanding service, from thoughtful recommendations to promptly clearing the table and being very attentive, really made the experience enjoyable. The great reviews brought us in, and the delicious food and Jimmy's service may very well bring us back.

    Chicken & Griot Plantain Sliders

    I was here last Friday with my Yelp Elite friend for Happy Hour. I had the Jerk Chicken Plantain Slider, the Griot Plantain Slider, Chicken Patty, and Passion Fruit Lemonade. Everything was delicious! The staff were really friendly and the atmosphere was great for a Friday with the DJ and game night! Definitely will be back there again soon

    Great location! I don't remember what used to be here but this is a great new restaurant for the area. I feel much more secure ordering vegetarian food here than in some other places nearby. Order to go, or sit here for a while. Beautiful decor especially the wallpaper, and custom ceiling fans. Sweet staff who are genuinely interested in giving diners a good experience, building local relationships, working with the community to advertise events, etc. Mushroom slider: mmmmm spicy! tangy slaw, umami mushroom, crunchy plantain it's a slider so it's just an appetizer right? wrong! surprisingly filling without feeling heavy. i had the green plantain but will definitely go back for the sweet plantain my only issue with plantain sliders as a concept is that the filing... slides off. so i also ordered the cups; same ingredients but in a cup shaped plantain. Much better ratio of filling to container, less mess, easier to eat. It's great in person, and survives travel and eating later. I love that they use lined cardboard instead of plastic.

    I've been wanting to try Bunnan for a whileeee now but getting logistics together required a lot for me lol. I was given the opportunity when I saw the there was going to be a distribution of Soup Joumou for New Year's Day. As an honorary Haitian lol, every year I go where Soup Joumou is so I took it as a chance to get a taste of Bunnan. As we arrived and entered the door, I immediately felt a sense of being in a cozy home. We were then met by the amazing Owner Nadege who was so warm, sweet, inviting and knowledgeable. I arrived with my best friend who is Haitian and we talked about Haiti and I expressed visiting one day. I also got us some Haitian Hot Chocolate which was amazingggg. It was very warming as there was a chill outside. I drank some alongside some Haitian hard dough bread which was dangerous lol. My love for carbs is too much so this was the perfect pair. I had my soup when I got home and it was delicious and filling. One of my favorite soups with pumpkin, pasta and beef yummmm! I will definitely be back for the restaurant's namesake Bunnan which is Plantain :-)

    Portions, especially for the rice bowl, were huge, and service was amazing! We tried both the sweet and savory plantains, and both were excellent. I really enjoyed the jerk chicken. The griot pork was a little bit drier than my preference but if you enjoy a more charred flavor, I think you would love! We also tried the passionfruit lemonade which was super tasty and exceeded my expectations. Definitely going to come back to try more of their meats.

    Griot Rice Bowl was very delicious and fresh, I will be back for sure! I came across this restaurant after searching Google and reading reviews. Also on yelp and decided to give it a try. I'm from Florida so I've had some great Haitian food so I was glad that this lived up to the hype and the service was great as well. The restaurant was very clean and the price to food quantity and quality was excellent. I had the Griot rice bowl with CARAMELIZED ONIONS, RED CABBAGE SLAW, PIKLIZ, SAUCE. Man it was good and fresh!

    Fritter

    The food here was amazing.! As I knew it would be. I don't eat meat just seafood so all the food I ordered was aligned to my diet. I had a mushroom plantain sandwich. It was very tasty. I had a passion fruit lemonade. Just the right amount of sweetness. I had a mushroom rice bowl, pate, some type of fritter and bread pudding. Everything was great! I'm definitely going back. I can't forget the service. The service was outstanding!

I also liked the lakay spaghetti, which was infused with a tasty and interesting savory flavor from the herring. We got sweet plantains on the side, which were nice and soft and came with a bit of pikliz--a necessity for any Haitian meal. The Kremas cocktail was sweet, creamy, and fairly strong, like an alcoholic eggnog.

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.

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.
