They serve up mainly Haitian cuisine, which is an order at the counter place or online. They also offer DoorDash delivery and pickup. There is table seating inside. They offer meat & fish fritays, burgers, fries, hot dogs, spaghetti, black rice diri djondjon (Fri & Sun), Haitian legumes (Tue & Thu), Haitian meatballs, goat (Sat), squash soup (Sun), pates, croissants, egg sandwiches, and cooler drinks. The prices seem pretty fair. Recently, I placed an online pickup order through DoorDash since there was a good promo and I had credits. I ordered the Spaghetti Chicken ($12 plus tax), Spaghetti Herring ($14 plus tax), and Burger & Fries ($10 plus tax) and given $9 off promo. The order was quoted 20 minutes for pickup, but it ended up being ready one hour after placing my order. We enjoyed the food back home. The spaghetti meals were generous with al dente cooked thin spaghetti tossed with oil, spices, and shredded chicken and shredded herring respectively. The burger was very soft like meatloaf topped with melted cheese, onions, & tomato on a soft hamburger bun. The golden fries were firm and not greasy, ketchup cup on the side. Other than the extended wait for the order to be ready, I would come back to try out one of their fritays and also get the spaghetti with hot dog, which I've had at other Haitian eateries in the Boston area.

A Hidden Gem -- Vitas Fritay is Haitian Flavor at Its Finest!…read more If you're looking for authentic Haitian cuisine that hits every note of flavor, hospitality, and vibe -- Vitas Fritay is the place to go. From the moment I walked in, I felt like I had stepped into a little piece of Haiti, right in my own city. The griot (fried pork) was perfectly seasoned and crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside -- just how it should be. The pikliz had the perfect balance of spice and tang, and the banan peze (fried plantains) were golden perfection. Don't even get me started on the diri djondjon (black mushroom rice) -- absolutely unforgettable! Portions were generous, and every dish tasted homemade, like something passed down through generations. You can tell the chefs and staff care deeply about what they serve and how you experience it. What truly stood out, aside from the amazing food, was the welcoming and vibrant energy. The music, the aroma, the smiles -- it all came together to create a warm, family-style vibe that made me want to stay longer and try everything on the menu. Vitas Fritay isn't just a restaurant -- it's an experience. One visit and you'll understand why this place has such a loyal following. 10/10 -- Highly recommend! Will be back again and again.

LOVED this place. We got two dishes: the LLapingacho and Chaulafan. I had never had llapingachos…read morebefore and this was an awesome first experience. Soft potato patties with peanut sauce, chorizo, eggs. I had leftovers for breakfast and will have again at lunch. Chaulafan was also excellent, and also provided leftovers. It was quite busy at lunchtime on Father's Day Sunday, but after ordering at the counter we had a table before the food arrived. We had fun browsing in the shop and had more than our leftovers to take home when we were done. This is a combined market and restaurant and the prices were very reasonable on both food and goods. Service was efficient and helpful - given how busy they were they were doing an amazing job keeping up. It is a small place but has several tables they were turning over fast. We ordered at the counter because we are waiting for a table to empty but I would guess you can order a table as well on a less busy day. We walked from the rail trail (a bit of a hike) so I can't speak to parking. I absolutely recommend this place and will 100% be back to try some of the many other interesting men

We got take out after dark, so I couldn't get any decent food pics, but it was tasty. The Tom Kai soup, with a coconut milk base, was AMAZING! This surprised us in a really good way. It was full of chicken and veggies. The flavor was consistent and deliciously strong. The Tom Yom soup was good-not particularly spicy and full of chicken and mushrooms. The tom yum spice flavor was prominent. We've had better though. The Massaman curry we ordered with chicken and white rice was good. The sauce was flavorful and the quantity was good. The Gai Prow with ground chicken was good. I've had better nearby and this is one of my staples to order. The flavors were good and the quality of the ingredients was good. I would order it again-if I need Thai comfort food. The spiciness was a bit lower than I expected, which was fine for my needs. While waiting, there is a little covered waiting area with a TV, movies playing, and a fake fireplace. It's cute!

Flavor was good with all the dishes, but their drunken noodles was what tanked their rating - there were more veggies than noodles and bunch of oil sitting at the bottom of the container. Their basil fried rice was very delicious- my partner had no complaints about his dish. I wouldn't order the appetizer combo again because the dumplings and egg rolls were just filled with cabbage and lacked flavor. Their crab rangoons were very filled and yummy. I'd eat here again and just order something else, still recommend it to those in the area.

We went back to try their seafood soup as I've been thinking about it ever since we tried it. The…read moresoup was delicious! It is served on a very large container that made it large enough for the 2 of us. We actually ended up splitting it and having leftover broth. I saw others bringing home leftover broth as well. I'll be adding some more seafood to my leftover broth for another meal. My partner ordered the trio and enjoyed it as well. The owner is a fantastic hostess. She is so sweet and accommodating to all her customers. At the end of our meal around 9 pm and after we were getting ready to leave, the owner approach us and asked us to stay around. She told us that they were having live music playing and that we might enjoy it. Unfortunately we had to leave but we might come back another time as they are open late a couple of night a week for live music and karaoke. This place is becoming one of my favorite local spots. Food is authentic and delicious and service is outstanding.

Our expectations for Japú were low. We'd been looking for a different restaurant we couldn't find…read morewhen we saw the inviting outdoor tables at Japú. We shrugged and went in to be told the patio was closed. We sighed and decided just to fuel up. Our friendly server Genesis gave us an overview of the menu, and we were intrigued. Japanese and Peruvian food? OK. I wish we'd been more hungry and more adventurous, but we had the gyoza and the chaufa rice, and both were really very good. Interesting flavors, fresh ingredients. Someone asked would I like avocado with my fried rice--a question that never occurred in my wildest dreams, but shame on everybody who never asked it and on me for never thinking it. Fresh avocado with chicken fried rice IS A THING! Try it. Unfortunately, we don't have much reason to go to Lawrence very often, but we'll go back to Japú when we do!

Good food, horrible service, nice atmosphere, high price food…read more The food is really good. No complaints. It's the service that's horrible. She forgot about my daughter's food, I ordered a kids meal and OJ, and then I changed it... and she said OJ cost way more...and then she forgot about my change - which she got mad it. Why am I paying 11% tip if I had to keep getting up to ask her for things? $12 tip? More like $5.... If that. Mandatory tip is bs.

I honestly felt so good after eating the food here and that's how you know the ingredients in your dishes are of good QUALITY.

They have a cool little set-up with a service window so you can order when you get there. I also saw they have seafood boil so I'm definitely going to try that my next time. God bless and thank you to the owners and chefs of this amazing cuisine!
