Hoping they will have them available soon. I wish them all of the luck so they can be successful and continue providing the authentic Haitian food to our community.

Food was flavorful and plated neatly. I got take out but the restaurant is nice and cozy inside and…read moreeven has bar seating. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Only complaint I have is that I ordered the same meal in a small and large and received the same amount of chicken which was 2 drumsticks in each. The only difference was the amount of rice. I don't even know the price difference because the receipt was not itemized but I wasn't too happy to have paid extra for just rice and no extra meat. Black rice is only available on Sunday. I will be back to try something else and definitely recommend for flavor and hospitality, but I think I will stick to ordering small plates.

Went to try for possible catering. Looks like its an order ahead kind of place. Ordered Griot but…read morewas told that it has been ordered in advance, what a bust!

We would definitely come back here if in Spring Valley again.

I've tried Akra Deli multiple times, and while the food itself is delicious, the customer service…read morehas consistently been disappointing. On my first visit, everything was great. However, my next two experiences were extremely frustrating. During my boyfriend's early-morning visit, he was initially told there was no food available--even though the restaurant had just opened. Only after insisting did they offer limited options. Most recently, I ordered through Uber Eats and spent about $70. The containers were small and arrived half-filled. When I called to address the issue, the manager explained that because they pay Uber Eats fees, they don't provide full portions for delivery orders. That is not something any customer wants to hear, nor was any solution (like a coupon or replacement) offered. The food at Akra Deli tastes great, but the lack of consistency, poor customer service, and reduced portions for online orders make it hard to recommend. If you do choose to order, I strongly suggest going in person, otherwise you will likely not receive the amount of food you paid for. Overpriced and poor customer service!

One thing I always look for when eating at a restaurant that specializes in food from a specific…read morecountry is whether people from that culture are dining there too. At a Thai spot, I expect to see Thai people. At a Mexican spot, I expect to see Mexicans. You get the picture. So at this Haitian restaurant, there are always Haitians enjoying the food -- which tells you everything you need to know. If you're looking for an upscale yet still authentic Haitian restaurant, this is it. No matter what you order, they always start you off with a soup that's hot, rich, and flavorful. I usually begin with the Haitian caviar and smoked fish empanadas, then move on to either the Saveur Creole goat or the red snapper -- always with extra gravy, because I can't resist pouring it over their black rice (don't judge me). It's BYOB, so bring your drink of choice or grab something from the shop right next door. Another thing I love is that the owner, Robert, is usually there. He'll stop by your table, talk with you, and make the meal feel like a real experience. And if you admire the artwork on the walls -- he painted all of it himself. If you go, tell him I sent you... maybe then he'll finally sell me one.
