Manjay is situated inside of the citadelle. Been there twice and both times my experience was delightful. Parking. You have two options. Either park on the street or park in the back of the building. Most busy day, you will find it harder to find a spot after 6 pm. Food. Dishes is out of this word. So many Vegan options which is a big plus nowadays. It's a caribbean cuisine which imply that you will find some perfect seasoned dishes. I tried everything on the menu and I will say that The Conch fritters and Griyot (fried pork) is definitely a must try. Customer Service. It's a 10. I had the pleasure to meet some amazing people such as Kimberly and Reggie. Always down to explain the concept of a dish or make a modification. Pros. This foodhall offers one of the best happy hour, so while getting you food groove on you have to option to enjoy some great cocktails. Also you can always walk around to check other food stand while waiting for you food. read more

Food taste so fresh, authentic. Would recommend if your in the Miami area. Your taste buds won't regret it!

I've been here several times and the food is always pretty good. I've gotten the griot and jerk chicken bites. The griot is ok, very well flavored. Sometimes a little dry but nonetheless very good. The jerk chicken bites have great flavor as well. Although I don't consider it to taste like jerk at all lol. But the flavor is still very good. The rice is tasty, the fried plantains are made very well, and the Pikliz has a good blend of spices. If you're expecting food like you get from ma and pa Haitian restaurants, I don't think this is it in terms of portion. But this is definitely an elevation of our country's flavor and I'm open to eating here again! read more

Manjay Restaurant - Griot - Caribbean Near Me - Miami, Florida

The food is always amazing at Manjay. Freshly prepared upon ordering. Keep up the great work.

Jerk Chicken bowl is the way to go! The jerk spices and the whole dish all together explodes with Caribbean flavor. The spice of the chicken comes first but the moist rice and crispy cool cabbage brings a rush to your flavor palette you have to experience eating at MANJAY. It's located in the citadel food hall on 83rd st and plenty of nearby parking. A higher price than the local Caribbean spots but you get so much more with the taste, preparation, ambiance of the Citadel and great service. Eco friendly utensils, plating, and cups. This establishment is a 5 star review for me! read more

Manjay Restaurant - Jerk Chicken Bowl - Caribbean Near Me - Miami, Florida

I placed an order on Uber eats. My order showed up at my door with only three items in it. I ordered conch fritters that where not in the bag. No one called to notify me that they would not be included in my order and no refund was given. I also ordered the jerk chicken bites. They were missing the plantain fries that were suppose to come with them. The coco loco shrimp that I ordered only had four pieces of shrimp in a tiny cup with sauce the rice was included but was missing the plantain chips that come with it. For this establishment to allow their food to leave missing items, not notifying their customers and not refunding the money for the missing items is unexplainable DO NOT ORDER FROM MANJAY!!!! You will regret it read more

The best griol I've ever had period with exclamation point!!! I left the review on the Citadel as this is where it's located but that review was mostly for Manjay. I'm sure it has plenty of orders coming in as I don't expect anything less as great their food taste. If you want some good Haitian/Bahamian food, come give this place a try. read more

Great food! Very flavorful my favorite dish was the vegan roti and the conch fritters! We ordered the jerk chicken entree, coco loco shrimp, braised pork, conch fritters, vegan roti, and the rum coconut cake (AMAZING). I also was served the rice and beans which was flavorful with a hint of coconut but a little too dry for my liking. The conch fritters was moist and full of flavor a little spicy too which I love. The vegan roti is to die for the sauce is yummy with tons of veggies. Manjay is a "flavortown" for sure! The only con was that they were running behind. So my husband and I had to wait around. I would definitely come back though. read more

Manjay is like real food to me. What do I mean by that? Like the rice, the spice, the grilled item with sauce. As a rice eater, sometimes I dont feel like wheat carbs ( pizza pasta bbq burgers sandwiches etc) .. Manjay is comfort food for when you want ulam. That means "prepared dish" in filipino, often served with rice. Manjay I see you. read more

This was my second time here! The first time I got the plantain fries with jerk chicken and corn on the cob, and everything so delicious! Highly recommend. This time I tried the coconut white rice, but I did not like it at all. To be fair, I've never had coconut rice so that's not the restaurant's fault. Still giving them 5 stars for the jerk chicken and plantains (flavor, presentation, and portion size were great). read more

The food was amazing. I tried the jerk chicken bites and the Steak Frites. Both were great but the jerk chicken was the winner. If you like spicy make sure you ask them to make it so! Overall the food was a 5/5. If you're in the citadel don't hesitate to try these read more

Manjay offers great food and is a beautiful plated introduction to Haitian cuisine. Although not as classical as an original plate from your local zoe lady, it is just as fulfilling and delicious! I have visited the franchise before at their Citadel location where I tried their mofongo my way and fell in love. If you are someone that enjoys plantains and spice this restaurant is for you to try. They have amazing sides made with plantains like fries and a very tasty and spicy pikliz. read more

This is my second time coming here. I was expecting the food to taste the same, like excellence, but it tasted EVEN better. Every plate that I saw going out looked delicious which made it so hard to choose. You'll go with one thing in mind and want to leave with the whole menu in a to-go box. I ordered the jerk bites with "banan payzay" instead of plantain fries & the conch fritters. Everything was seasoned to perfection & favorable. If you like spice make sure to get the mango sauce! Will definitely be back again soon. read more

I'm giving this place a 2-star rate because of the poor customer service. The person behind the kitchen was rather rude and didn't seem to be willing to explain simple items on the ordered dish (vegan bowl). I decided to give the food a try and not let his attitude get in the way. Otherwise, the food was tasty! read more

This Caribbean restaurant is anything but traditional! Their tagline is modern Caribbean cuisine and this food is just that. It actually tasted more like a fusion of cuisines. This may be due to the fact that the Caribbean is filled with various culinary influences from colonization. For example, the Jerk Chicken and coconut rice was reminiscent of an Asian inspired dish where it felt like I should be eating it with chopsticks. This wasn't the Jamaican-style jerk chicken I'd grown up on that is coated in spices and slow-cooked over a fire or grill. It was breaded and flavored more like a Caribbean General Tso chicken. However this is quality food made fresh daily. Only prepared when ordered. The bowls come with two sides which is a good portion and value. I also found these dishes to have a bit of kick to them for those who may not be as tolerant of spice. Overall your taste buds will thank you for you inviting them on this flavorful journey. read more

Really good! Full of flavors! Love the vegan option Got the vegan bowl It was delicious Thank you Manjay! read more

The service was great. The attendant Reggie was very helpful in the selection. The Vegan Roti was on point!

Manjay has the best jerk styled Caribbean food I've ever had. I'm not typically a fan of spicy food, but the combination of flavors can't be beat. The jerk chicken bites have a texture like latin masitas de puerco, with a dusting of jerk flavor paired perfectly with their curry cream sauce. The jerk shrimp bowl is well balanced with a tangy salad that cuts the jerk heat. Located inside the Citadel food hall, it's one of the best options. You will love it ! read more

Manjay Restaurant - Caribbean Conch Fritters Griyo Combo - Caribbean Near Me - Miami, Florida

Oh my f'n goodness. How have I lived on this earth & experienced so many cuisines without having touched Haitian food? And I'm no expert cause I've only had this one dish, but honaaaaay. What a dish it was. Avocado griyo toast. The explosive flavor of the griyo against the neutralizing smashed avo. . It honestly had me searching high & low for other Haitian restaurants once back home that at least served griyo of any sort. There were flavors that I've never experienced together. And maybe never experienced individually at all ‍ All I know is I hadn't really lived until I had that dish. read more

This restaurant is located in the Citadel Food Hall. The service was excellent. We were greeted immediately and before we knew it, our food was out, fresh and hot. The plantain fries and avocado toast griot was great. The coconut shrimp was delicious. Overall, we enjoyed our food and we will be back! read more

Decent. The food is o-k. My Jerk chicken was not very authentic. It was deep-fried. It was like Caribbean-style General Tso's chicken. The red beans and rice was ok. The plantain fries were really good. My friend had the pork. He thought it was dry. There was some bogus $ervice charge that was probably for take-out/pickup orders. I didn't argue. I wouldn't go back. Good luck to them. read more

Everything that we ordered was delicious. The variety of flavors was my favorite . The meat was tender and juicy. Rice was definitely my number one choice. The sauces were perfectly crafted as well. I recommend trying them out or their food truck! read more

This place came recommended by a friend, so today was the first time I tried it. I have always liked griyo, a traditional Haitian dish, so I decided to try out Manjay located at the Citadel. We ordered the family combo of griyo with rice & beans, and banan payzay, the jerk bowl, and the plantain fries. Wow! It was so deliciously my family and I couldn't stuff our mouths quick enough. The sauces that accompanied the meals are soooo good. The coconut rice with the jerk chicken adds such a nice flavor to the whole dish. And don't forget the pikliz, the spicy pickled veggies to complement the griyo. This restaurant is definitely going to be on our list of go to places. I highly recommend it. read more

I only had the conch fritters... this time, but I'll be back to try more. I've eaten a lot of conch fritters. Lots. These were by far the most flavorful conch fritters that I've ever had.

Very tasty food! There are limited options on the menu, but the two that we tried were very flavorful and delicious. We had the jerk chicken bowl and vegan roti. Vegan roti was the exact amount of spice with yummy coconut curry! read more

I purchased food in advance for a meeting. I was having with someone, and they picked out what they wanted from the menu. I ordered online using an app, then called to confirm that they received the order, including the request for extra pikliz. I paid for the extra side of pikliz, and the person I was meeting with that I was buying dinner with really really really wanted them. so I had the food scheduled so that I could get it picked up and then run to the airport to pick the person up. First of all the food was not ready until 45 minutes after it was supposed to be ready. That's crazy. It wasn't even like my friend had picked out really complicated or difficult things to make, they were all things that the restaurant should've had on hand and been able to make quickly. I get that this is a Haitian restaurant, and having lived in Haiti. I understand that things are a bit slower and relaxed there, but I was pretty sure that they understood when I called to confirm my order that they knew it had to be ready by the time it was scheduled to be picked up, in any event I was late picking up the person at the airport, we did get to the hotel and sat down to have our dinner and our meeting, and as soon as I unpacked the bag, I knew that they were problems. The order was missing the extra pikliz that we had paid for, it Did not have one of the sides, and it had the wrong drink. The bananas were dry and not hot even though I had put the food in a thermal bag as soon as I picked it up and the rice was still warm. All in all it was pretty disappointing. It was also a very expensive meal. read more
