    Red rice and beans, Fried fish, Vegetables, Oxtail, White Rice, Sos Pwa.

    This is some of the most delicious food you can get yourself in Rockland. I used to live right around the corner and would RUN here at least twice a week. Sure the ambiance is nonexistent but you're coming here for some real authentic haitian cuisine. The staff is very friendly and will explain what something is if you dont know. I highly recommend their red rice and beans and fried fish. If you like a little spice, ask for a side of pikliz. It's delicious. Now living in LA, I only dream about coming back and eating here again. Fyi it is buffet style so just come grab a plate and load up, you wont regret it.

    While visiting another establishment in Rockland County I decided to try Fancy buffet. They have a weigh & carry out option. I've heard so much about Haitian black rice, but there aren't many Haitian restaurants in my area that I am aware of. They have two locations, Haverstraw and Spring Valley. I went and grabbed a container and added a sample amount of various items. Everything was good including the black rice. It's dark because it's made with a certain type of mushroom. They had a lot of options. Maybe 15 to 20. Everything was decent, and if I find myself in the area again I would visit. It cost about $11-12.

    Overcooked dry chicken, just terrible.

    Ripoff Alert- Plate Weight and Tax This place tried to rip me off twice on my first visit. First- they sell food by weight on heavy plates, they weighed my order without subtracting my plate weight. I told the lady and she did not tare the scale, it was now 1/2 price paying for food only weight. RIPOFF ARTISTS Second- my meal was $5.50 I gave her $6. She said no change due to tax. Thats BS. The difference is actually like 5 cents, but the point is she kept the 5 cents and didn't ring tax into the register. Dishonest BS Food 12 noon lunch Fried chicken was so dry I couldn't chew it. Fried pork was like a stone, un-eatable Fried fish was seasoned well, tasty but very dry, it seemed old. Avoid This Place

    I love the fact that I can actually get some home grown food whenever I come around this area, because their is no Caribbean/Haitian food restaurant near me what so ever. I am willing to travel half an hour to get some food made from my culture. I'm sorry to be bias but nothing comes close to Haitian food in my opinion. I personally think the place should be lit up a little more than the dark they present but besides that I can't complain l. Great food but the service can be a little better, I placed a catering order for an 11am pick up when they open the store and no one was there to open up the door. I had to call their other location to find out the ETA for when their going to open up the doors. Theirs no excuse for opening late, but that's what you get at times from old fashion peoples. Most definitely a spot I will always recommend to anyone who ask.

    I can't lie it's a bit hard to find this restaurant using navigation when walking is your mode of…read moretransportation, and you're not a native of the city. However, this is a hidden gem you should try. It appears to be a family owned restaurant. Decor is light and seating is sparse, so if you plan to bring a party of 4 or more I'd definitely suggest calling ahead to potentially make a reservation. We also came on an extremely hot day and sadly their A/C system wasn't working so it was on the warmer side. Not unbearable but a bit uncomfortable, so just keep that in mind if that's the case when you show up. What I will say when it comes to the experience and food is that it doesn't get more authentic than this. I asked for a recommendation and was told to order the griot, which was well seasoned and quite large portion size wise. The plate came with a rice of choice, two fried plantain, beans, pikliz and dipping sauce for the meat. Not bad for $20. I ordered to go because I had an event to go to, but can attest that they do a great job of plating their dishes when you dine in. If I'm ever in NYC again I wouldn't mind returning, dining in and hopefully trying something different like their Kalalou or legume which looks incredible.

    It was the best Haitian food I ate here during my time in New York…read more I will come next time for sure! Thank you guys!
