Welcome to Haiti bowl - packed flavor, well-seasoned, & tender pork (without fatty bits), fluffy rice, and nicely cooked sweet plantains!
Blake Z.

I'm in Miami for this weekend, and I've been craving some good hatian food. Since I didn't feel like driving all the way to Naomi's Kitchen, I looked for somewhere closer and settled on visiting Manjays! Going in, the restaurant is tucked inside a place called The Citadel, which is beautifully lit and bustling with all kinds of food‑themed shops. If you wander a bit further, you'll even stumble upon a really cool antique store worth checking out. For dinner, I ordered 1x Welcome to Haiti bowl with griot, djondjon rice, and sweet plantains. Going into my review, this little spot truly impressed me in the best way! The Welcome to Haiti bowl was packed with savory flavor, well‑seasoned, and tender pieces of pork (without the fatty bits), fluffy black rice, and sweet plantains cooked to perfection. The portion was so generous that I even had leftovers for the next day. Overall, the food was fresh, satisfying, and an incredible value for the price (easily enough to share). For all these reasons, I'd happily rate my experience at Manjay a solid 5/5 stars!

Manjay Modern Caribbean at The Citadel is such a gem. I loved the cafeteria-style ordering--it made everything feel easy and inviting--and the decadence of the setting really elevated the whole experience. I ordered the Coco Loco Shrimp, sautéed shrimp in a coconut curry sauce, and it was incredibly flavorful and downright delicious. Everything paired perfectly with the sides: crispy plantain fries, banan payzay (fried plantain), and classic rice & peas. Comforting, vibrant, and full of Caribbean flavor. I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu.

Griyo Combo

I came here from TikTok recommendation. I ordered the griyo , rice and beans, and banana pazay. The griyo was tender and nicely seasoned. Very delicious and went well with the banana, pikliz and rice and beans. The rice and beans could use a bit more of the sauce that comes with it. The pikliz was not spicy at all. Some of us (I'm African) need spicy food to take the food up a notch. I understand catering to the public whose spicy tolerance may not be high, maybe make two batch. One spicy and one plain. I did not like the utensil being mental and out in the open like that. That was disturbing and please invest in some plastic utensils kept away from the public. I had to go to a near by restaurant to ask for plastic utensils. So I had to take a star away for these two items. Other than that the service was friend and the food was delicious.

Stopped in for a lunch with some friends after church and the pork griot at Manjay caught my eye right away. I'm a sucker for good Haitian food and Manjay did not disappoint. The people behind the counter were extremely nice and helpful. The food came out hot and was amazing. We had one griot with curry vegies and tostones and the other with legume. We preferred the curry vegies but the legume was also good. The overall ambiance at the food hall was nice with clean tables and ample seating. If you're in the area strongly considering stoping in for a bite.

I love Caribbean food so of course we found this place while in Miami. Located in a nice food hall, we ordered at the register and our food came out in decent timing honestly. We ordered the jerk chicken, jerk shrimp, and conch fritters. The jerk chicken was DELICIOUS and came with plenty of chicken. It was more on the breaded/fried side versus your usual grilled jerk chicken that you see but I actually liked it a lot. I opted to get my sides of rice and peas and plantains which went great. My mom got the jerk shrimp which she really enjoyed. Her only complaint was that she wished there was more shrimp but other than that she loved. Can't go wrong with conch fritters either. Service was nice, great music and vibes. Definitely some good Caribbean food!

I visited manjay for my lunch and this is great Caribbean fusion restaurant capturing different island spices and cuisine. The service provide was super fast as they prepare meal to order. There's great seating and refreshing ambiance. For lunch I had jerk chicken bowl. This came with a side of avocado salad, breaded fried chicken breast glazed with a honey & jerk bbq sauce with rice & peas. This was a great mix as the salad and spices and savory complimented the rice & peas. If you're in Doral area looking forward for a great meal at lunch or in the mood for a Caribbean fusion, this is a good option.

Up on the rooftop

We were at the Citadel yesterday in the early evening and ordered the Honey Jerk Chicken Bites from Manjay. They were flavorful and delicious! We love Caribbean food, and this place is on top of their game. We were sitting on the rooftop and were able to order from different restaurants here at the Citadel. Our server was the delightful, Becca, who was efficient and friendly and knew what was good on the menu! We were happy campers with her selections. We will return very soon. Don't miss this one!

Loved this food hall! Wanted a quick bite of Haitian food! Found Manjay and I wasn't disappointed. Our order consisted of (Honey Jerk Chicken w Curry veggies & Griyo w Rice and Kola! Amazing service quick and fast and atmosphere was hectic due to going on a Sunday. Total spent was $42.96 Can't wait to Eat again! Great vibes !!

Had high hopes based on the reviews, but epic fail. Located in a food courtyard with other restaurants. I ordered the Griot with rice and beans, a side of the Diri Djondjon. First, not sure what Haitian flavors they are trying to create but definitely not traditional flavors. Portions were de ent, but I would assume so for the price. Again, I emphasize...if you are looking for that bold kickass Haitian seasoning/savory/soicy...look somewhere else. In addition, I order the above which encompassed 2 bowls of rice (dry), they gave me the small 1oz container of sauce/gravy. When I requested another one, they wanted $2...WTH? Would never return here. Has potential, but failed!

Honey jerk chicken and mushroom rice is amazing. Spicy sauce is a must. Plantation fries are not crispy so just OK.

We showed up unannounced with a large party from the LBA Basketball Program, and Naomi's Garden…read morehandled it like absolute pros. Noam greeted us warmly and immediately helped arrange a buffet-style setup featuring all the popular Haitian dishes--everything was flavorful, authentic, and beautifully prepared. The GM, Malinda, was extremely attentive, making sure everyone knew what each dish was and felt comfortable, and Matta was very professional and efficient while setting everything up. This was a real test of Naomi's Garden's ability to handle pressure and a big group, and they passed with flying colors. Beyond the amazing food, we genuinely learned about Haitian culture through the cuisine. Incredible experience--highly recommend Naomi's Garden for both the food and the hospitality.

I asked about a menu and was directed online to search "Naomi Miami," but when I asked for the grouper fillet on the menu online I was told they didn't have it. I got the tofu with rice and the spinach stew, and my boyfriend got the chicken with yellow cornmeal. We haven't had Haitian food, but we both enjoyed our entrees. The portion sizes were large and I think most people could eat this for two meals.

We made a reservation in advance, so it made the process a bit more smooth, we had a party of 4. Everything was nice fresh and hot ! We got an order of the jerk chicken, on the shareable menu.

First negative , after placing our drink order i overhear 2 female guest ask for happy hr menu? I never received a happy hr menu nor told about any specials. Ordered 2 $17 drinks and both were on the happy hr menu for $10. Not a big deal but who doesn't love a good happy hr $? Second negative, bill comes and of course i had to correct the bill because i was getting charged for the full priced drinks when in fact i ordered the drinks (luckily) that were on special. Then the waiter looks at me opening my INKIND app and immediately tells me "oh, we are not excepting Inkind anymore , i was told by the back"? lol. So you're promoting on INKIND with a special but refuses to honor the advertised deal? Big . Would be 5 stars but just had a bad experience , too bad because the food is really good.
