This restaurant is located in an open area where there's a ton of other restaurants. This was my…read morefirst time having Haitian food, and I would say it was so good! The flavors were really hittin--not salty but definitely not lacking in flavor and complexity. So delicious The only criticism I would have from what I ordered is that the rice was ever so slightly undercooked which made it a bit dry. Other than that, everything was great. There's not really a server--you order and they text you when it's ready. Then you come pick it up and go to your table. But the cashier lady was very nice and helped me decide what to get.

We had dinner at Manjay's Citadel location. The food was fresh, filling, and delicious, and service…read morewas good. If you're looking for something unique to try at the Citadel, Manjay is worth a shot. They serve Haitian cuisine. Portions were generous and in general, the food was kind of heavy. Many of the components I believe were made to order, so there was a short wait. Here's what my wife and I ordered: Appetizer: * Caribbean Conch Fritters ($14) - Manjay pikliz, honey mustard remoulade These were big and tasty. Six pieces, like giant hush puppies with conch inside. The plate came with pikliz in the center. Pikliz is like the Haitian version of coleslaw, made with cabbage, carrots, onions, and peppers. Manjay's version was spicy and yummy. Bowls, each with 2 sides and 1 sauce: * Honey Jerk Chicken Bowl ($18) - breaded and tossed in Manjay's homemade honey jerk sauce; with red beans rice and sweet plantains and scotch bonnet mango aioli * From Haiti with Love (Griyo) ($18) - Deep-fried Kreyol-style slow-braised pork; with banan payzay and toofay Both the chicken and pork were very good and flavorful. The pork was served bone-in. The rice and beans and sweet plantains were comforting and addictive. The scotch bonnet mango aioli was spicy. Banan payzay are Haitian pressed plantains. These were savory and starchy. The toofay ("legume") was good too. It's a hearty vegetable stew, essentially Haitian ratatouille. Our cashier was Roniqua and she was nice. During our visit, I think Manjay had the longest line (a good sign). After walking around, looking at the other food court options and seeing Manjay's high rating on Yelp, we were sold on Manjay. We dined in so we got real plates and silverware. We actually took everything up to the rooftop bar and ate up there. Our trays were bussed by the staff on the roof. Along with this location at the Citadel food court in Little River (just north of Little Haiti), Manjay has a casual strip location near the Miami airport in Doral. This Citadel location is the original; it opened in February 2019. The Doral location opened in 2024.

Island Tings in Miramar definitely delivered if you're craving real Caribbean comfort food…read more I ordered the curry chicken and it was exactly what you want from a spot like this. The chicken was tender, well seasoned, and soaked in that rich curry sauce. It came piled over rice with veggies and potatoes mixed in, and the flavors were deep and authentic. You can tell it's the kind of food that's been cooked slow and done right. The portions were solid too definitely a filling meal. Perfect if you're hungry and want something hearty. The restaurant itself has a cool island vibe inside with the beach murals and bright colors that make it feel relaxed and laid-back. The setup is simple cafeteria style, so you move down the line and pick what you want, which keeps things moving. If you're in Miramar and want real Caribbean flavors without the fuss, this spot is worth the stop. Good portions, flavorful food, and a chill atmosphere.

She said a few words in patois to the other woman. Next thing I know the other woman started preparing all the sides in a carry out container and then goes to the back for the jerk wings. I didn't leave until 8 o'clock with my order. It wasn't worth the time that I waited. The rice and peas and cabbage were delicious. The wings were dried out, hard and tasted like barbecue chicken instead of jerk wings. I threw them in the trash. Don't even bother putting an order in before cause you're gonna wait anyway.

The sign doesn't say the actual name it just says "Jamaican Restaurant". I was greeted by a friendly woman who mentioned her son is the owner. I loved the family vibe. I asked if they had steamed veggies, but they didn't, so I ordered the fried chicken lunch special with rice and cabbage. I also asked for oxtail gravy on top. The chicken was good and the oxtail gravy had a nice little kick. Definitely made me curious to try the actual oxtail next time. My only complaints: the rice was on the hard side and the portion was pretty small, especially for a Caribbean restaurant. The chicken also seemed more like one thigh cut in half, rather than the typical quarter piece you get with a lunch special elsewhere. Overall, the flavor was good. But more generous portions and softer rice would make it better. Still, I might go back to try the oxtail!

I love it but the seasoning was by far the best combination I have tasted, Next I tried the red beans and rice. Very flavorful - a must try. Now for the reason I chose this place, the conch. I have never had 'grilled' conch before. It was not what I was expecting as it was more like a soup. I always push past my preconceived ideas and gave it a try. I was not disappointed with the flavor. Incredible. My only disappointment with Conch Heaven was that I found it on my last day here. I will come back again and again on subsequent trips to the area. thank you for the wonderful experience.

I'm sorry but I can't say that I truly enjoyed this food today. I think for $54.50 it could've…read morebeen better. For starters, the jerk chicken was NOT jerked lol. I'm all for learning other cultures food but how about we leave the jerk chicken to the Jamaicans here, okay?? It had fragments of chicken with jerk like barbecue sauce that was not good. Now, if you'd ever eaten jerk chicken, you know there is absolutely NO barbecue sauce of any kind on it...just an abundance of seasonings. Big miss!! Plus the fried conch was supremely under seasoned The ambiance is inviting with lots of seating and color. The server was pleasant but the prices were insane, especially for minuscule amounts of conch in the fritters. I mean I grew up in South Florida, went to college in Miami and would drive here for the best conch fritters but somehow it just hits different and not as good as I remember. I have to say, that I wouldn't revisit or spend that kind of money again for something I did not enjoy.

The service was friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The Mofongo was absolutely amazing--I had never tried anything quite like it before. My wife ordered the Pork Belly Mofongo, while I went with the Crispy Roasted Pork. Both were incredibly flavorful, and the combination of the crispy pork with the mofongo was fantastic. We also ordered fried Dominican sausage, which was delicious. My wife's friends had the salmon with rice and oxtail with mofongo, and everything looked and smelled amazing. One of my favorite surprises was the little pieces of crispy pork inside the mofongo. They added such a nice texture and extra flavor. The mofongo itself was hearty, savory, and very satisfying. For dessert, we ordered the Baked Sweet Coconut. I was already completely full, so I skipped it, but my wife tried it and said it was a little too sweet for her taste. One thing to keep in mind if you're dining with a group: since we were a party of five, an 18% gratuity was already included on the bill. We also noticed a 3% credit-card processing fee, so if you want to avoid that extra charge, you may want to consider paying with cash
