The Tasso Turkey had good flavor, but there wasn't enough sauce -- they only gave one small container for the whole plate, which made it a little dry. We only received 1 serving of pkliz even though we ordered 2 plates. The Mac & Cheese had a nice texture but was surprisingly spicy, which I wasn't expecting. It wasn't bad, but definitely something to know if you're sensitive to heat. Overall, the food was decent.

Going in, the interior was very clean and clearly gave off carribean vibes. The tables inside were jumping with other patrons, but we were seated rather quickly. For dinner, we ordered 1x griot dinner complete (meaning the platter; rice & peas, pikliz, plaintains), 1x lassot complete (fried turkey), and 2x pate codes (think of a loaded hatian empanada; we ordered 1x fish and 1x chicken). Moving on with our review; everything was excellent! The griot had a nice crispy exterior but was tenderly seasoned inside. The lassot was surprisingly moist and crispy too. To include, the contrast of the onions marinated with the green seasoning on top. The rice & peas were cooked perfectly as they were light as air and plantains were crispy & salted nicely too. The pate codes were huge in size and flavor as well! My preference would be the original over the fish, but they both packed a tangy, savory, and spicy punch! Moreover, we had the pleasure of meeting and being served by the owner, who was very friendly and attentive. Overall, we were highly satisfied with our experience and would definitely recommend this spot for anybody who's looking for quality hatian cusuine. Final verdict 5/5!

I ordered their mixed spaghetti and it tasted horrific! It came with salad, tomatoes and a cold boiled egg sliced in half. The spaghetti texture tasted PURE NASTY, like leftovers that had been sitting for DAYS in a fridge. The texture was hard and very dry with a very mild spicy taste. No kind of sauce, salsa or oil. Absolutely terrible!! I had been bragging to an employee sitting in the front about how much I love Haitian food, but I definitely will not be back here! Especially because these people charged me $14 for the plate ...and NO REFUNDS for my dissatisfaction either!! The ad for the spaghetti on their window outside here is a HUGE SCAM ....just to get you to come in and waste yer money. IF YOU DO GET THE SPAGHETTI YOU NEED TO ADD OIL TO MAKE IT EDIBLE!!!!! The business offered me more food of the same leftover spaghetti instead of a full refund, that was how they tried "resolving the issue", ...as they said below this review which I refused. Why would they do that if I already told them that I don't like the food??! Another guy on Google reviews of this place said the SAME thing, that the food from here tastes like leftovers. Will NOT be back!

I haven't had a lot of Haitian food before, so I wanted to give Pearl of the Island a shot as I…read moreheard it was good. 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.

The area to order had fliers for CDP lisences and other ads. The four sit down tables weren't super clean but had a nice fake plant. I wasn't the typical demographic. We waited in line about 5-10 minutes, although there's not a lot of space for a line. The electronic menus inside don't work and we just guess based on a Yelp picture of a menu. The person said it would be about 15 minutes. After about 20 minutes we got our food and paid. There was a line to order and the phone kept ringing the whole time we were there. Also people talk on their phones loudly here. We got the stewed turkey, large. $10 And the fried pork. $12 Both with rice and beans. Both were pretty good and large for the price. The plantains were almost like hash browns. The turkey was almost in a curry but different. The sauce was also great for the rice and beans Based on the food quality and portion size, the rest of the business doesn't need to be a priority since they have quality food and lots of customers. Ideal place to get food delivered from or call ahead.

I had the turkey stew with beans, and a side of plantains. It was cooked and seasoned to perfection, with a huge portion. Plantains were crispy and perfect too. The family-run nature of the place is authentic and adds to the "what a great find" feeling. Oh, and cheap Joe's favorite part? A full restaurant meal is roughly $7! The divey ambience of the place is part of it's charm and uniqueness. First off, I was the only non-Haitian-Creole speaker in the place. The owner said "can I help you?" (I think meaning "you must be lost or something?") when I walked in...when I laughed and said I liked Haitian food, she laughed too. It's in an unlikely location (a slightly run-down tiny strip of Haitian specialty stores across from a 7-11 and near a very large gay leather bar). Truth be told, I came in because her place is always mobbed by Haitian-Americans, inside and out. Definitely they come here for the fantastic food. The parking lot is always filled, for a reason. What really made it a fun experience was Verna, who seemed to be the owner. She taught me a little Haitian Creole, which sounds a lot like Quebec Street French. Just a warm-hearted owner, with a fun place and great food.

Once we arrived I realized we have been here before... It's been about 10 years and my memory from back then was good food and nice atmosphere. And now we're back.... a Friday night and they have some outside tables available (if you wanted some quieter atmosphere) because inside was dinner drinking and karaoke... we had a table good for hubby and I to watch. There was a large group (a party of some sorts) and a lot of great singers; and so many people jumped up to dance along with many of the songs. We tried a couple of varieties of the peruvian classic drink, Pisco Sour... once traditional and one with a mango twist. They were very good (not my thing but very good for what they are). We shared one of their ceviches (amazing) I ordered Tacu Taco with chicken and my husband got some seafood dish; I can't remember what it was called but I know we could've shared one dish since the servings are huge.
