 plate of meat and rice

I don't know but this is not it. You would think that's a whole scoop of macaroni, look at that....Cheap. $15 down the drain. Don't waste your money or time! Lost yall mind serving me something like that.

Amazing Haitian food for a very good price!! Two large plates can feed 3 people easily with leftovers for $22!!

The place is tiny and the outside will make you question the place. The inside will make you question too!! Maybe a few tables on the side. It's mainly a takeout catering place but make the trip here. Call first and let them know what time you'll be there. They get 4 stars just due to not being timely. The food is well worth the wait though. I ask for it every time I come to Boston. There are cars outside jumping in and out waiting for take out. You know it's good when local Haitians recommend it! We get the legumes which has veggies like cabbage, carrots and spinach and whatever meat of your choice. It's a stew- think ratatouille. Then you can pick a side of white rice or rice and beans. We also ordered the stewed turkey. He also gave us macaroni with it! The food is very flavorful!! If you like bland and light, this is not for you. I'll be back Lala!!

Bomb! Picklis!

My friends had an engagement party last night and last minute we decided to order a ton of food for…read morethe whole party And everything was delicious their food is always great. The only reason they don't get five stars is they said it would be there in 35 minutes. We're in Belmont. They're in Somerville. It's a 2025 minute ride so there's no way that that's accurate because they have to cook all the food and we ordered a lot of food and we got everything we ordered and it was delicious but you know it was an hour and a half to two hours after we ordered so the only thing that I would say is they could work a little better on the transparency because I know when we placed the order there was no way they could do that.

Never been to the restaurant but have ordered multiple times via UberEats. I may actually visit…read moreeventually as the experience might be completely different than just ordering something delivered. But here is the thing, while I thoroughly ENJOYED the food I've received each time. They are practically always missing something on the order - like 9 out of 10 times. Yes, I am able to always get a refund through the delivery app BUT it sure gets annoying after a while. Maybe they get really busy...maybe they just don't have it together when it comes to packing to-go orders...or maybe, lol, they just don't give a crap? I don't know. I just wish they can get that aspect together since I really do enjoy the two items I always repeatedly order (Fried Goat & Goat Stew). Now that I just wrote this...I'm going to just drive over and eat there and update accordingly after.

You will either love fan fan, or you would not even consider setting foot in here. Its a bit…read moreintimidating honestly as a non Haitian Creole speaker to come in here as everyone speaks creole and frankly it doesn't appear that they have any desire to attract a non Hatian demographic (and why should they I guess). I would say that this is not just a restaurant but a hang out for the local Haitian population. Dont worry though, everyone is super nice and as soon as they see me they switch to english. Its not even immediately apparent what the restaurant serves. Its called a bakery, yes you can get bread here but it is also a restaurant, mostly a takeout restaurant, but there are some folks typically sitting around watching the TV at the bar with a plate of food. What can you get here, well it depends on what was cooked that day, the menu varies daily, and by menu I mean the handwritten piece of paper that says whats available that day. Typically it is a meat, a vegetable item, and rice+beans. Sometimes there are two meat options sometimes there are two vegetable items and sometimes only the one. You order a large or a small portion. The large is around nine dollars and the small around six. The large is really two meal-size styrofoam containers of food. One with rice and beans, the other with meat+veg. It truly is a wonderful deal. They also serve "patties" kinda like a Jamaican beef patty but fluffier flakier crust, they come in beef, fish, or chicken and are $1.50 a pop. Order three if you want to go from hungry to full. This place isnt going to win any culinary awards or be written up in the globe's dining section but it is delicious, authentic, home-style cooking. Despite the lack of reviews this place is always busy diligently serving up affordable home-style food to the local Haitian population.

No delivery, things have changed, food is different, taste isn't the same and not enough. Different…read moreconversation with customers .
