From the moment I walked in, the energy was inviting and refreshing. The staff were welcoming and friendly. They made sure I had everything I needed and explained the menu well. You could tell they take pride in their food and culture. The inside of the restaurant is painted a bright, vibrant green that immediately catches your eye. It feels fresh, clean, and full of life. Kompa music plays in the background, setting the perfect mood--it honestly made me want to dance while waiting for my food! The vibe is effortlessly Caribbean, transporting you without ever leaving the city. Portions were generous, and for the flavor and quality, it's more than worth it. Great value for an authentic Caribbean experience. You won't leave hungry! I went with my go to meal , which never disappoints! * Dinde Tassot (fried turkey): Crispy on the outside, tender inside. Seasoned to perfection--savory, flavorful, and with that bold Haitian kick. * Black rice (diri djon djon): Rich, earthy, and aromatic. You can tell it's made with love and tradition. * Macaroni with cheese: Creamy, cheesy, and made just right--comfort food at its best. Not baked, but still Great. I always order extra ! * Fried plantains: Golden and sweet with a perfect crisp on the outside. * Pikliz & gravy: The pikliz added that tangy, spicy crunch that ties everything together beautifully. The gravy? Poured it on everything! Can't wait to explore more on the menu !

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.

There's a small seating area with a few tables, and the food came out pretty quickly. You could tell it was fresh and made to order.

I was really happy to find this spot. I've been familiar with Haitian cuisine for many years, so…read moreI'm always excited when I come across a place serving good, authentic Haitian food. The grill tasted very fresh and flavorful. They also serve a gravy on the side which was surprisingly good -- and that's saying a lot because I'm usually not much of a gravy person. The pikliz was tasty; my only complaint is that I would have liked a little more of it, although that may have just been something I should have checked before leaving. The rice was excellent. It had a really nice flavor with a slightly peppery finish and honestly stood out as some of the better rice I've had at a Haitian restaurant. They also offer a house tea that goes along with the name Choublak (which the owner Marcus mentioned means hibiscus). The tea contains sorrel and is definitely worth trying if you visit. Another thing I appreciated was seeing a hands-on owner. Marcus is both the owner and the chef, and it shows in the attention to the food and the way he interacts with customers. Overall, if you're looking to try Haitian food, this is a great spot to check out. They have a small sit-down area and offer lunch specials Wednesday through Friday, which is a good opportunity to stop by and try the menu.

I honestly have no idea what is going on here, but this experience was extremely concerning…read more I ordered from a restaurant listed on Uber Eats as "Taco Namas #1." I specifically ordered the pulled pork ultimate taco bowl salad, and what arrived looked nothing like the photo or description on Uber Eats. It did not appear to be pulled pork, and the rice, beans, and corn listed in the description were completely missing. What I received was basically chunks of pork with lettuce, tomato, and onions. What concerns me even more is what I discovered afterward. I checked the address listed for "Taco Namas #1" on Uber Eats to see where the restaurant was located, and the address brought me to this restaurant. I then searched for Taco Namas #1 independently and could not find any restaurant by that name on Google, Yelp, or anywhere else I searched. So I would genuinely like an explanation: Who exactly is Taco Namas #1, and why is an Uber Eats restaurant operating under that name using this restaurant's address? Between receiving food that did not match what I ordered and then discovering the confusion surrounding the restaurant name and address, I am extremely dissatisfied and concerned about this experience.

When I entered the restaurant I was greeted by the owners and classic Haitian music. Service was…read morereally good. I was pleased when speaking to the owners. Learning that they opened during a pandemic and have a pretty good following. I ordered chicken in sauce with rice and beans. It looked like the rice and beans were the left overs from the pot and many variations in color. The white rice I ordered on the side was really good. Believe it or not you can mess up white rice lol. My daughter didn't want to even try the rice and peas because it looked old. I was really hoping to get a Haitian restaurant with 5 stars and this place has 5 star service however the food just wasn't what I am accustomed to. I think it's important for restaurants to be consistent. No matter what time you come you should get the same quality. Im sure they probably didn't want to have to make new rice but if it's offered it should be good. Im not sure if I will return because I just wasn't in the mood to cook and wanted to see if their cuisine would be worth the drive. Not bad at all if I'm in the area already. However, I think they should do quality checks before serving food. I was disappointed...

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 have never felt so unwelcome as a paying customer. I called ahead specifically to place a takeout…read moreorder and was told, rudely, that I could NOT place my order over the phone and that I had to physically come into the restaurant. I drove out of my way specifically because I was told I needed to come in. When I arrived, the young woman working was sitting on her phone and completely ignoring me. Instead of greeting me or acknowledging me as a customer, she eventually waved me over with an attitude as if I were inconveniencing her. To make matters worse, when I attempted to order the stew turkey I had specifically come there for, I was told they were out. I asked if they had just recently run out, and she said no -- which makes the entire situation even more frustrating. If you already knew you were out of an item, why have a customer drive all the way there just to place an order in person? A simple "we're out of that today" over the phone would have saved me the trip. The attitude from beginning to end was extremely rude and dismissive. I understand that people have bad days, but customers should not be made to feel like a nuisance for simply trying to spend their money at your establishment. And honestly, the restaurant was completely empty when I arrived. If you're trying to run a successful business and attract customers, treating the few customers who actually walk through your door with this kind of attitude is not the way to do it. I was willing to go out of my way to support this restaurant, and instead I left feeling disrespected and unwelcome. Customer service matters, regardless of who the customer is or what they look like. I will not be returning, and based on this experience, I cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone.
