First off, the turkey frit was one of the best Haitian dishes I've ever had at a restaurant! I had…read moreto start off with that statement! It was perfectly fried, you can tell it marinated for awhile before cooking and was a very reasonable portion for the cost. The diri djon was plentiful and tasted great as well! The sign of a great fried turkey is it not needing pikliz or sauce- it stands alone as a really great dish. The loss of a star was because I ordered akra fritters and received the boulet instead. Since I ordered through a delivery service it was reimbursed but wanted to acknowledge as a missed order note. I highly recommend this as your first choice in Haitian cuisine if you are in the area and looking. I also ordered the legume with white rice and it was also pretty good. While I haven't dined in yet, I can also anticipate an ambiance that is well-equipped to give an authentic Haitian cuisine experience.

It's a business I understand but respect a customers time. I cannot understand why this part can't get right. I have called both locations and given an estimated time and I'm till waiting an additional 25 minutes. Listen if you're thinking lunch break, absolutely not, it's absurd to see how long one can wait. It's upsetting that it's great food but just thinking about purchasing food here drives me nuts because I know I am waiting, and the employees don't mind that you're waiting. It's like going to Walmart, where they are there for the duration of their shift so, time has no merit them. I understand cook to order BUT not when a time lapse of 30 minutes and you arrive and waiting an additional 25. Because of the wait alone I can't see myself giving anything higher.

This place had a delicious griot meal that came with rice and beans a salad a spicy slaw and some amazing juice or whatever it's called that you get to dunk the pieces of delicious tender meat into. Everything in this little container tasted absolutely amazing I really am considering bumping this review up to a five. The reason I won't give it a five is because it has very limited space to eat inside and the price is perhaps a dollar more than the other spot I go to. I might come back and try their chicken and if that proves to be just as delicious I will gladly give them a perfect score. For now it gets my ultimate recommendation and a score that means I will come back here regularly.

The ambiance is that of a fast casual restaurant with and order counter and tables lining the outer perimeter of the restaurant. There are TVs playing as well. The service wasn't particularly friendly, the two ladies up front seemed more interested in chatting than helping me with the menu. The lunch special came with a soda but they do not offer diet soda and they will not substitute bottled water. I walked in for pickup, and the two lunches probably took 15-20 minutes to be prepared. My husband got the griot, which was flavorful but dry. I got the stewed chicken which was slightly overcooked and underseasoned. I did enjoy the fried smashed plantains, but the rice and beans tasted weirdly ashy? We barely touched those. The pikliz was only ok. Overall, I would not return as I was disappointed.
