It contained griyo (fried pork shoulder), rice and beans, bannann peze (fried plantains), pikliz (pickled veggies), side salad, and Sos Ti-Malice (warm hot sauce). The fried items in the dish were both flavorful and quite tender. The pikliz (pickled veggies) were a necessary, very tasty complement to the dish. The hot sauce was nice and quite balanced spice-wise. I also got the Soursop with Ginger and Lime drink (ask for their fresh juices). It was refreshing, with an intense ginger burn after each sip. However, it was pretty expensive at ~$9. Note that certain pictured menu items may not be available and other available items may not be on the menu. Definitely ask them for the current day's items. +1 for the solid service!

I love haitian patties especially beef. I ordered 3 the server tells me they are $8 a piece. Red flag I ignored, so I ordered two. When I say this is the worse pattie I have ever encountered in my life. For $8 you get this huge patty that barely has any beef. It wasn't flavorful and some of the meat was still raw. It was so bad I didn't even take it back. I just threw it away and took my L on the $16. The menu says the fried turkey and rice is $16 it was $24. It was delicious though! Stay far away from the patties. Bill was $43 for a plate of rice, fried turkey, and 2 patties.

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.

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.

Finally had some time to give this place a try after smelling it for so long lol. I was greeted promptly and service was great. The lady that took my order was kind and provided me with lots of helpful info since this was my first time here. I opted for the Creole Chicken Bowl, which came with a side of small pickled veggies on the side. The rice was yummy and the chicken was extremely flavorful. Not only was the meal extremely filling, it was absolutely delicious and packed with flavor. I'm excited to go again and try more of their items!

It's indeed a hole in the wall. There is no seating available but when I tell you, if you're seeking haitian food to go, this is your spot. The food was superb!! Fresh, authentic, and the service was super friendly. I ordered the fried fish with black rice, plantains and a salad. It was enough to feed two (but of course, instead of sharing, I enjoyed my leftovers. It was too good to share!

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.
