Just a note that the food does take a while to come out so if you're ordering with a large group make sure to pass the menu around beforehand so you can order when you sit down. We started with the fried food platter Friday platter and everything was delicious. It came with plantains and okra and fries. The entrees are quite large and if you wanted you could split them as well. I got the stew chicken with rice and plantain and it was extremely flavorful and great comfort food. The waiter we had did not speak a lot of English so I think some things were kind of lost in translation when we ordered, but overall my group and I were satisfied.

To me the food to me was fairly average as far as haitian food goes and I was missing my favorites like griot and marinade, but it is in no way bad! My friend and I definitely enjoyed and cleared our plates! With there not being too many haitian food options in the area, I would definitely recommend this place to someone looking to enjoy a simple haitian dinner in a welcoming environment. Much respect to the owner for shining a light on haitian cuisine in MD! Also, as a tip I would Be sure to check out the menu before going as certain things like the black rice is only served on the weekends.

I did enjoy the French/Spanish music in the background. The staff were kind and fast with things. The portion was quite large, which I wasn't expecting. The poisson was quite good with the sauce provided. I found the veggies that came with the rice seasoned quite nicely too. We did also try the turkey creole, which was a tad bit dry, but still good. Plantains and rice were standard in my opinion. We REALLY enjoyed their rum cake though as dessert. Heavier on the alcohol but it made it so good! Definitely a nice experience here.

I've always enjoyed church even if I don't go anymore. There was only one person working when we were there and he was trying to balance take out orders with having a dining room. It was rough. The dining room was cute. The green tableware was cute. The dining room needed to be wiped down. They really needed one more person there if they were going to have the dining room open. The person serving and doing everything was very very nice. The food was good, though we waited quite some time for it. I got a basic eggs and toast and my husband got a chicken puff with spicy coleslaw which was tasty. The menu looked good but many of the things on it weren't available. The juice in particular. There are some menu items that we would love to try here some time - the goat in particular. And may come back to do that - but we will not come hungry just in case they are regularly that understaffed. Other particulars - the restaurant is in downtown Stoughton. There is plenty of public and street parking in Stoughton, but you may not get to park right in front of the restaurant. Within walking distance to the Stoughton commuter rail (which only runs on weekdays)

My brother/friend and I went yesterday for lunch and got the oxtail bowl and the pepper shrimp bowl. We were full for the rest of the day, and mind you, this was around 2:30 The service was amazing.

We even talked about possibly hosting a teacher happy hour there, and he pointed us in the right direction on who to contact. Now let's get into the food... 1000/10!

I am glad I tried this as I am hooked to this place now. I have gone back here three weekends in a row to try different things. On my first visit, I tried chicken roti wrap and oxtails with rice, cabbage and peas. They were both so delicious. The portions were great. Lasted for 4 meals. Definitely get the hot sauce on the side. Adds nice kick to it if you like it extra spicy. The next time I ordered buss up roti with oxtail stew and buss up roti with lamb stew. They both come with chicken peas and potato curry. Blend so well together. So delicious. Kinda addicting. It's a small place to dine in. They have about 5 tables. I recommend take out. Servers are great. They have so much patience in explaining some of their dishes if you're new to the Caribbean cuisine.

So I originally gave it 3 stars to support. Now I will give it one star. Hold on for the ride…read more They abruptly stop taking orders on all delivery apps often, whenever they want. No rhyme or reason, so when you're in the mood and see it available, just know in the process, it'll shit down. On their social media they frequently post and showcase non Haitian people raving about their food. That's fine, however HAITIANS are who asked for the restaurant and it's HAITIANS who know how it's supposed to taste. I've posted and have been incredibly supportive of their restaurant, the minute I left a comment stating that they need to call their food "Haitian" and not "creole" cuisine because it waters down our culture, they blocked me. What a weird and strange way to run a business. They've definitely lost me as a customer and I will no longer point all the folks I know desperate for Haitian food to them.
