If I am craving for true and tasty Haitian cuisine, this is where I go. They have the comfort foods…read morethat I enjoy like griyo, fritay, lesgumes, poule fri, pwason fri. Their customer service is impeccable. It's not easy to find Caribbean restaurants that put a cashier that is actually nice and humble. They're usually mean. The gentleman and lady are charismatic, they joke with you, they put you at ease and arrange the food to go. They listen to what you want to order and sometimes help you decide what you want if you're indecisive like I am. The guy is patient. Even the cook is nice. They quickly acknowledge you as soon as you step into their establishment. The food is good. My favorite dish there so far is the fried red snapper. I love how crispy and well seasoned it is. I wish they improve the pate kòde though. They need to have a better farin (flour) done overnight and more ingredients in the pate instead of so much dough. Other than that, I recommend these guys a 100%. I hope their business booms and they add another restaurant by Wood ave or Fairfield ave? One can only wish.

How does that even make sense when we got there after 30-45 min which was purposefully done just to avoid this. He then asked if he could add on to the order and the wait increased so he just said never mind. We got the large griot which was plentiful. Griot pieces were not all fatty.

UPDATE - AUGUST 2024 - My wife and I have continued to give business to Island Cho (with in-person…read morevisits and take-out orders) a number of times since our first visit and review. We continued to give them glowing reviews and recommend them to a number of our friends and colleagues. Last week, my wife's family was visiting us from out-of-town. We wanted to take them all out for a nice dinner and thought that we would surprise them with a visit to Island Cho. We really hyped up the restaurant to them and told them that they would love the food. We arrived a little bit before 6:00pm. We were seated right away and there wasn't anyone else in the restaurant. After we had all looked over the menu, our orders were taken. So far, nothing unusual. Our drinks/water were not delivered to the table soon after we ordered. We thought this was a little unusual and that perhaps they would be brought out when the food came out. The drinks arrived to our table about a half hour after we ordered, but the food did not follow. We noticed another family came in and were seated around this time. After a short while, they looked visibly upset and got up and left with no explanation. My two young children were very hungry and we were doing our best to keep them occupied. My wife's family asked us if the food normally takes this long, to which we replied, "No, it's very unusual." Nearly an hour after we ordered, the owner/server brought the "Caribbean Wings" (one of our favorite appetizers) to the table. We thought that the rest of the food would be coming shortly after, but before we knew it the wings were gone and we were waiting once again. At this point we debated just paying for the drinks/wings and leaving, but then we would have to find a new restaurant to wait at. We decided to just cut our losses and continue waiting. We also attempted to ask someone how much longer the wait would be, but no one was even at the front counter anymore. Approximately an hour and a half after ordering, the owner returned and said that the rest of the food would be brought out in "five minutes". We brought up that we had two young children who were very hungry and asked why the wait was so long. He informed us that there was only one person working in the kitchen and then he sped away. The owner eventually returned with the food, but only two plates. It was another 5-10 minutes before any other plates were brought out. My wife told the owner, "We're still waiting for my older son's meal and you still haven't brought out the Shrimp Wontons that we ordered." The owner informed us that the aforementioned wontons would not be coming out because they were out of them. My wife asked why we weren't informed of that when we first ordered them. He replied, "We didn't realize until we were about to make them." My poor son sadly kept on saying, "Where's my plate? Where's mine? I'm so hungry." He eventually received his food, but at this point he was so tired that he couldn't even finish it. We decided to just cut our losses, finish the food that was brought out to us, and then settle the bill. The whole experience was well over two hours and we were leaving well past our sons' bedtimes. My wife and I took our sons out to the car while my sister-in-law settled the bill for us. When she came out, she told us that the owners informed her that none of their kitchen workers showed up due to bad communication, etc. She also said that they didn't exactly apologize for our poor experience but rather gave a long list of excuses. My wife and I were SO EMBARRASSED for hyping up Island Cho to our family. We realize that the restaurant industry is not an easy one and that problems arise at the drop of a hat. That being said, we feel that the owners of Island Cho handled this bad situation VERY POORLY. The least that they could have done was give us a heads up when we first arrived. "Hey, we're very sorry but we are short-staffed tonight. You can stay if you wish but it's going to be a long wait," or , "We're very sorry but due to unforeseen circumstances we're unable to accommodate your party." Nope, we received no warning at all. They deducted the items that we didn't receive, but there was no apology or any sort of discount for our poor experience. Although the food was just as delicious as it had been on previous experiences, it was just a little bit too little and too late. After getting home, we found that several patrons have shared similar experiences to ours over the past six months or so and voiced them on both Yelp and Google. We don't see how Island Cho can continue as a business much longer if this sort of bad service and bad management persists. Although we love supporting local businesses (especially family-owned), we cannot in good conscience continue to recommend and support Island Cho. We will NOT be returning again.

I was on my way to a well-reviewed Vietnamese restaurant, when I saw this sign for Haitian food…read more My gf is Haitian and I wanted to remember the food she cooks for me when I visit her in the Dominican Republic. Well, this place didn't disappoint. Same tastes. I was confused how it worked at first and the owner walked me through the store and explained each food and how it works there. The atmosphere is pretty basic. Not a place for a date. haha. The tables are crowded together with some seats and I think most people take the food to go. There are a good variety of things to eat, from beans and rice, to various meats, and plaintains of two styles. I'm vegeterian and had plenty of options. They also have talapia there. So, the all-you-can-eat buffet is $15, but I just bought the amount I wanted by the pound. I could barely eat all that I bought and it cost me less than $5. Thus, the high rating.

We are looking to live out east and decided to take the drive to see how the Haitian food was! Honestly, we have tons of Caribbean food in Queens/New Hyde Park area, but Akra was well worth the drive! We ordered the Jerk Chicken with Duriz Djon Djon- 10/10 recommend. The jerk chicken wasn't too spicy, it was juicy and flavorful. They also gave three big pieces! The rice was also well cooked and not too salty. We also ordered Griot with Bannan peze- it's a requirement if you're going to eat at any Haitian establishment. The woman dishing out food out said "this meat is a little dry. Sorry." We ordered it anyway and it turned out to be pretty good! The bannan was a little soggy, but really that's part of ordering takeout for certain food items. Lastly, we bought two bottles of their lemonade and it was delicious! A great balance of sweet and tangy! We would definitely come back!

I've tried Akra Deli multiple times, and while the food itself is delicious, the customer service…read morehas consistently been disappointing. On my first visit, everything was great. However, my next two experiences were extremely frustrating. During my boyfriend's early-morning visit, he was initially told there was no food available--even though the restaurant had just opened. Only after insisting did they offer limited options. Most recently, I ordered through Uber Eats and spent about $70. The containers were small and arrived half-filled. When I called to address the issue, the manager explained that because they pay Uber Eats fees, they don't provide full portions for delivery orders. That is not something any customer wants to hear, nor was any solution (like a coupon or replacement) offered. The food at Akra Deli tastes great, but the lack of consistency, poor customer service, and reduced portions for online orders make it hard to recommend. If you do choose to order, I strongly suggest going in person, otherwise you will likely not receive the amount of food you paid for. Overpriced and poor customer service!
