Great local spot! Sat at the bar and the young lady there was very helpful and attentive. I had never had Haitian food before and she seemed happy to welcome us and share the menu highlights and her recommendations. I had the oxtail rice bowl which was so delicious and an extremely generous portion. The oxtail was perfectly cooked - so rich and flavorful, and practically falling off the bone. The interior is also very pretty with the bright green walls, and I enjoyed the music from the DJ. I will definitely be back. The only thing that struck an off note was I felt like the white guy behind the bar was very rude to the Black staff members. He must have been the manager the way he was ordering people around, but being the manager doesn't give you the right to speak rudely to people. read more

Food was really goood but the seat was horrible I would honestly come here strictly for take out Food reminded me of home but I sat next to someone that literally could've eaten out of my bowl if they wanted too But that's they get a solid 4 out of 5 read more

I wanted to love my experience at Bunnan, but was a bit let down. I'll start with this - I was a huge fan of their other location on Caton Ave, and was excited to try this location. My group walked in on a Saturday evening and was seated in about 10 minutes without a reservation. Service was slow to start. We had to wave for our server several times, but that's not really the main issue. We ordered the Ti Bouche platter and two rice bowls. The presentation was lovely. However, there was an off putting sour taste in the vegetables I had in my bowl. This made it hard for me to enjoy my meal. My sister's steamed snapper was also overcooked and had a weird rubbery texture. Perhaps the kitchen had an off day. I'd be willing to give them a try again in the future. Maybe when they are less busy. read more

Congratulations to Bunnan, featured in a recent New York Magazine focused on affordable eating borough by borough. Bunnan was featured in the Brooklyn portion to definitely eat at. Their griot bowl was highlighted with a photo and description. I was fortunate to attend a Brooklyn Elite event last year and the griot bowl was a stunner.. a generous portion of pork and Haitian delights: plantains are a knockout and the picklz condiment is a knockout. I will go back to dine on the jerk chicken pizza which is another knockout. The owner, Nadege Flurimond, is welcoming and has a great personality. Bunnan uses plantains as the starter for it all vs. bread. Knockout menu! BUNNAN 1248 Flatbush Avenue read more

Bunnan - NY Mag recent article featuring BunNan - Haitian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Food was incredibly good. Their shtick is plantains in everything. Don't expect conversation- loud DJ with phenomenal music that makes you think you're in a Caribbean beach. They do brunch and lunch. Got passion fruit lemonade, cola lacaya (fruity soda), jerk chicken in a sweet plantain boat and jerk chicken nachos with tostones. The flavor and complementary simple ingredients. Seated right away with plenty of free street parking. read more

Visited family and went for a casual brunch on a Saturday. Not too busy inside just 1-2 other parties. Small place but very nice tropical decor. The had a DJ and I thought the music was great. At the risk of sounding old, it was a littttttle too loud for me personally. Gave me the vibe of a bottomless brunch place so I was surprised they didn't offer bottomless. I ordered the sweet plantain oxtail sandwich which came with a side salad, as well as a rosemary biscuit. It was delicious! Very flavorful and perfectly spiced. I was going to order iced coffee with non dairy milk but they were out of almond milk so I switched to the passion fruit lemonade and it hit the spot. Service was friendly and quick. Cool spot! read more

I went to Bunnan with my mom and her friends. The plan was for me to just drop them off at a concert, but when it got cancelled, I joined them for dinner instead. None of us had been there before, so it was our first time trying it together. I started with a chicken patty as my appetizer and also ordered the griot rice bowl for my main dish. My mom ordered the lanbi (conch) rice bowl. The table came with plantain chips, which was a nice little start. My mom really enjoyed her food and kept saying how good it was. I thought mine was okay, but I wish they had more rice options like diri kole or diri pwa vet. I am not a fan of djon djon rice, but I was willing to try it. The highlight for me was the griot plantain slider. That thing was amazing. The pork was tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. The plantains added just the right touch of sweetness, and the whole thing had a little kick that woke up my taste buds in the best way. Honestly, that was my favorite part of the meal. Our waiter, Race, was awesome. He was friendly, patient, and had such a good attitude. You could tell he genuinely cared about making sure everyone was comfortable and happy. The restaurant itself was really nice inside. The atmosphere felt warm and welcoming, and I loved seeing people from all backgrounds enjoying the food. Haitian food just has that power to bring everyone together. They do not serve alcohol yet, but that is only because they are in the process of getting their license. I can already imagine how fun the vibe will be once they do. Overall, I would go back (and try something different next time). I actually wish I ordered the pizza because it sounded really good. Still, I left full and happy, and it was nice to see a Haitian restaurant with such a warm atmosphere and great service. I'm excited to come back once their drink menu is up and running. read more

Two visits in two days, the flavor was that good: today's chicken & plantains waffle with Kremas syrup was the best chicken & waffles of my life. Beautiful presentation, to boot. My prior visit I enjoyed the plantain lasagna that doesn't look like much but it was a flavor riot. Staff both visits were incredibly friendly with myself and all of the customers. Saturday visit included a live DJ. One visit I sat at the bar and watched Haitian cooking shows on their TV by reading the subtitles. Second visit I sat by the window and felt like I was in the jungle. I haven't written a Yelp review in years, but this place was so good I had to. read more

First time visiting BunNan Haitian Restaurant in Flatbush with a party of nine, and the restaurant was clean and welcoming. Our server, Jimmy, was excellent, friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable about the menu. Jimmy started us off with plantain chips. The first portion felt a bit small for our group, but the refill was much more satisfying. The appetizers were tasty, and overall the food was flavorful. We ordered the jerk chicken plantain pizza, fried pork plantain pizza, and two oxtail rice bowls. All dishes were delicious; however, the oxtail rice bowl was disappointing. Why? Not due to lack of flavor, but because it lacked meat and had too much bone for the price, which both my husband and I noticed. On a positive note, Jimmy's recommendation of the plantain bread pudding was spot on and greatly appreciated. His outstanding service, from thoughtful recommendations to promptly clearing the table and being very attentive, really made the experience enjoyable. The great reviews brought us in, and the delicious food and Jimmy's service may very well bring us back. read more

The service is attentive. Race had good energy (that's his name). We just walked in to grab food on a dead Tuesday. The food took about 20 to 25 minutes, but the wait was filled was good conversation. Let's get into the food! We had 2 sliders with sweet plantain, 1 griot (fried pork) and tassot (goat), AMAZING ! The perfect amount of spice and sweet. I ordered a rice bowl with jerk chicken. I wouldn't order that again because the chicken was really salty and spicy. I've been told Haitians don't have a " jerk" taste. So it made sense that the taste was off. We also had a Tassot plantain boat. This was really good but spicy. Everything we ordered had pickleys on the side. read more

Bunnan - Chicken & Griot Plantain Sliders - Haitian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Great location! I don't remember what used to be here but this is a great new restaurant for the area. I feel much more secure ordering vegetarian food here than in some other places nearby. Order to go, or sit here for a while. Beautiful decor especially the wallpaper, and custom ceiling fans. Sweet staff who are genuinely interested in giving diners a good experience, building local relationships, working with the community to advertise events, etc. Mushroom slider: mmmmm spicy! tangy slaw, umami mushroom, crunchy plantain it's a slider so it's just an appetizer right? wrong! surprisingly filling without feeling heavy. i had the green plantain but will definitely go back for the sweet plantain my only issue with plantain sliders as a concept is that the filing... slides off. so i also ordered the cups; same ingredients but in a cup shaped plantain. Much better ratio of filling to container, less mess, easier to eat. It's great in person, and survives travel and eating later. I love that they use lined cardboard instead of plastic. read more

Portions, especially for the rice bowl, were huge, and service was amazing! We tried both the sweet and savory plantains, and both were excellent. I really enjoyed the jerk chicken. The griot pork was a little bit drier than my preference but if you enjoy a more charred flavor, I think you would love! We also tried the passionfruit lemonade which was super tasty and exceeded my expectations. Definitely going to come back to try more of their meats. read more

Griot Rice Bowl was very delicious and fresh, I will be back for sure! I came across this restaurant after searching Google and reading reviews. Also on yelp and decided to give it a try. I'm from Florida so I've had some great Haitian food so I was glad that this lived up to the hype and the service was great as well.

I've been wanting to try Bunnan for a whileeee now but getting logistics together required a lot for me lol. I was given the opportunity when I saw the there was going to be a distribution of Soup Joumou for New Year's Day. As an honorary Haitian lol, every year I go where Soup Joumou is so I took it as a chance to get a taste of Bunnan. As we arrived and entered the door, I immediately felt a sense of being in a cozy home. We were then met by the amazing Owner Nadege who was so warm, sweet, inviting and knowledgeable. I arrived with my best friend who is Haitian and we talked about Haiti and I expressed visiting one day. I also got us some Haitian Hot Chocolate which was amazingggg. It was very warming as there was a chill outside. I drank some alongside some Haitian hard dough bread which was dangerous lol. My love for carbs is too much so this was the perfect pair. I had my soup when I got home and it was delicious and filling. One of my favorite soups with pumpkin, pasta and beef yummmm! I will definitely be back for the restaurant's namesake Bunnan which is Plantain :-) read more

Great place it go. Food is great. Staff is very friendly. The commute is pretty simple too.

Dish Ordered: Grand Manje Platter, Mushroom- Rice Bowl, and more Visited With: I'm Haitian, and I was in NYC with my friends and wanted to give them a taste of Haitian food. Service: (100/10) Listen -- Jimmy is the best waiter ever! Jimmy was so fun, kind, and patient (because some of my friends were a bit indecisive) and gave great recommendations. Not to mention, he was funny as hell! Overall, the service was phenomenal! And we even got to meet the owner. OMG! It was like meeting an old friend. She was so nice, we yapped for like 15 minutes, and she was honestly a breath of fresh air! Food: (10/10) The food was beyond good! Everyone I came with was so satisfied with their meals. I absolutely loved mine; everything was well-seasoned and complemented each other perfectly. The drinks were delicious and not too sweet, which I loved. We even had dessert, and as someone who doesn't have a sweet tooth... listen -- I FUCKED THAT SHIT UP! I WILL BE COMING BACK, AND I WILL BE ORDERING EVERYTHING ON THE MENU. TAKE MY MONEY! Ambiance: (10/10) The ambiance was relaxing. We sat outside in the back, and even though we were the only ones there, it was peaceful and beautifully decorated. The whole restaurant feels very thoughtfully and intentionally designed. If you stop by, pay attention to the little details. It actually gave me a flashback to Haiti. Very heartwarming. Overall: A++ This is a great restaurant! If you're feeling homesick, please stop by. I promise it'll warm your heart. It was genuinely such a nice experience, and words can't describe how happy I was to visit. They deserve all the hype! read more

Visited during the day at this new location and had the Dijon Dijon bowl. The portion is pretty big. Worth the money. I left full and happy. Most of their meats are shredded which isn't ideal but it tasted good. I got the jerk chicken. Didn't taste like jerk chicken but was delicious anyway. The food came out pretty quickly and the service was friendly. read more

EAT HERE ASAP!!! My friend heard about this restaurant on Tiktok and took us there on an NYC daytrip. I've had Hatian food before so I was familiar with the slice and flavor and thought this would be a simple lunch outing. Jimmy V, our waiter, was super patient and attendant--helped us pick out appys to try as well. One friend got the Full Size Ti Boush Platter, one got the mini Ti Boush, and my other friend and I got the djon djon rice bowl with jerk chicken. The DJON DJON RICE bowl was so phenomenal, I had to peek into the back kitchen to see who was cooking. I had to PHYSICALLY stop myself from clearing the bowl in 10 minutes. A nurse at a nearby hospital had told us to eat here as soon as we could, because by lunchtime everything was sold out. It did NOT take us long to understand why... To top it all off, the owner came out and spoke to our friend who found her restaurant and we ended lunch with such a nice conversation. BUNNAN 10/10 -- Incredible!! read more

Its actually a great place to start if you've never eaten hatian food before. I say this because everything was fresh and tasty. Beautiful presentation. The passionfruit lemonade was perfect. Refreshing in this summer heat. Loved the hatian soda. The plantain sandwiches blew my mind. The juxtaposition of sweet plantain or fried to creamy sauce snd meat a solid 10. The jerk was outstanding. Loved the pork too. Also they are naturally gluten-free. Thry also have vegarisn options. The Ti Bush bowl. The mushrooms were tasty , cooked perfectly and the black rice was outstanding. Very healthy option. The Ti Boush bowl had a sampling of everything. We got the red snapper. The sausage was devine.

I recently had pleasure of headed to Bunnan to support my friends networking event and the food was outstanding. I had a fritay platter for two and the food was amazing. Haitian staples such as diri djon djon,marinade and akra were so good. The metal cups reminded instantly about my childhood. Now the DJ held me hostage the music by DJ Manny kept me and my girlfriend dancing all night long the seats were comfortable and they even have a patio area. They also have things like game night and karaoke. Lastly the servers were so on point, very attentive. Definitely a must for Haitian food in Brooklyn read more
