The menu never includes seafood dishes when I go, which is typically after work on weekdays. They do offer seafood (conch; red snapper) on weekends. It's pretty much a take away spot, just a couple of tables in the small front area. Sometimes people come in and appear to cut to the front of the line, which is annoying when there is usually a wait for your order, even when you call ahead. Perhaps they call ahead and figure they get to skip to the front, but it makes it messy for customers who have been standing in line, despite calling ahead, to wait for their food. Their price point is good.

I was pleasantly surprised to find this hidden gem. I just so happened to search for Haitian black…read morerice and griot and this restaurant popped up. The griot pork is what I always get, most times along with another entree to try out. As an entree I usually get the rice and beans (delicious flavor rice that sells out quick), 2 fried green plantain, a small condiment of "picklie" pickled slaw to add a kick, a small condiment of gravy and a small portion of macaroni salad. I've also tried the whole snapper and Ox tail, white rice with black bean sauce, and the black rice. Honestly everything has great flavor. My faves are the pork griot and ox tail. My only reason for not giving 5 star is that for the price, the portion size has not always been consistent and if they run out of a side I have not gotten it equally replaced with another option. I hope they improve in that area. Other than that, I highly recommend the flavorful dishes.

Although there was no one sitting to eat in the restaurant, there was a steady stream of people coming in to pick up to go or meal delivery orders. I ordered the fried pork (griot), beans and rice, plantains, and pate chodye. Everything tasted good and authentic. The pate chodye was new to me because it was like an empanada. It was stuffed with meat, an egg and pikliz (like a spicy slaw). The food was cooked to order so it gave my party time to talk and catch up. There are lots of tables for eating in. Framed photos and Haitian flag banners provide some ambiance.

And of course, I love a Haitian patê. The only downside was the fried chicken on Fritay Friday. I love fried food, it was very overcooked--where was the meat? I would NOT get that again. Service was great and the experience was exciting. The guy serving us was more like a host--upbeat, funny, and welcoming. The space is nice. It gives more of a party/club atmosphere.

It's not your typical restaurant they have like 2 or 3 tables but there's old men (probably family) sitting there talking in Creole. There's no menu anywhere, so if you're not familiar with the food already you won't know. The food isn't labeled and they in the tin pans. However, the food is amazing. The piklis is so good/spicy. The griot and black rice were so flavorful. I will come back. The ambiance isn't great, but the authenticity of the food is what drives their business.

It's home-cooked Haitian food, and it's worth the visit as I enjoyed my food. The service is typical of a home-cooked place: you'll get your food quickly, but this is a grab-and-go spot, not a dine-in experience. One thing to note: if you ask for anything extra, like I did for an additional scoop of rice, expect an upcharge (in my case, $5 for just one scoop). While an up charge for extra is understandable, just make sure the upcharge feels reasonable. Would recommend if you're craving authentic Haitian cuisine!
