Hours as of 8/3 are Noon to 10pm. Lakou Haitian Restaurant on Graham Street. To my knowledge it is…read morethe only Haitian restaurant in Charlotte. It's mostly a takeout place but there are 2 booths that can fit 4 people and 3 small tables that can fit a few people. You order at the cash register and then seat yourself or wait. I ordered the fried red snapper, a friend ordered the stewed red snapper. I liked hers better because it was nice and moist with lots of flavor from the red sauce. Mine was still very good, and she preferred mine. We had the passion fruit lemonade and it was so good my friend got a second one. Be prepared to wait awhile for your food. We put in our order at 2:10pm. He said it would take about 20 minutes; however, we received our food at 2:50pm. Our fish came with either rice and beans or black rice and either green plantains or sweet plantains. I got the rice and beans. My Jamaican friend said the taste was similar to her country. Another friend ordered the Griot, which is cubed and fried seasoned pork over black rice. I really liked the black rice, but the pork was a bit dry. They did give some small containers of sauce with it. The metal containers make it easy to reheat your food at home. Kudos for that. Another friend got their fried chicken and said it was ok. We all agreed the snapper was the way to go. Additionally, I ordered Haitian Mac & Cheese and really loved it. It was creamy and different. It sort of reminded me of an Italian vodka sauce. To go, I ordered 2 beef and 2 fish patties. Hubby loves beef pies and I've never seen fish patties, so of course I had to try them. The beef pies were really good. Highly recommend those flakey crusted beef patties with wonderful seasonings. The fish patties' seasonings were very unique. Maybe the flavor of cloves ? We likely would have ordered dessert if they had anything other than coconut rum cake, but I don't like coconut. This place is difficult to find. It's on Graham Street 1 mile from 85 away from Downtown next to a Food Lion in a Strip Mall. There's no actual sign on the building except for a banner near the door. A nail salon is next door on the other side.

Got to check out this spot with some friends last week and was genuinely excited! I'm a huge fan of…read moreHaitian food and haven't had it much in Charlotte so I was glad to try Lakou. The restaurant is in a plaza with a Food Lion and a few other stores.There's plenty of parking. It was a little tricky to find at first glance because they don't have a sign on the building like the other business around them. They do have a larger hanging sign in front of the door which helps. I would describe this place as a pick up spot only. Yes, they have a few tables and chairs inside but there is no waitstaff. I ordered a passionfruit lemonade, sweet plantains, pikliz and Haitian mac n cheese. My food was DELICIOUS! Truly. If I were hungrier I would've ordered more. The reason for the "just ok" rating was due to things I'm sure can be remedied for future guests. The young lady taking orders wasn't the nicest person. They had a bit of a line when we ordered so I understand, but please be kind to people patroning your business. It took a good while for us to get our food, and that is perfectly okay. But it literally took 30 mins or more to even get my drink. I got that well after my food. I had to ask about it, so I'm guessing it was just forgotten. All that aside, I would eat here again, but I would call my order in well in advance and expect to pick it up and go. Great food, just hope the service gets a little better moving forward. Definitely recommend for the food!!

I'm so grateful to have found this chef and his new sit-down restaurant Katyé. The griot was spot-on, cooked on the bone for more flavor. The black, mushroomy djondjon rice was perfect.

Love their online presence (Instagram) and connections to the community too. Such a wholesome family business, successful enough to start hiring others! Only critique is that their website interface can be a little confusing sometimes and they sometimes miss some things/timing for an order, but I am a superfan of Bon Fritay and will continue to speak their praises! I mean, just LOOK at that food! The pork is always perfectly fried, no gritty bits; everything's flavor is always consistent. Their jumon is so good. The snapper special is amazing also. You can taste the freshness, quality, and layers of flavor from the breading, thickness of the filet, and possible brining of the meat. I really can't praise them enough for their continued work!

Tucked away off the main road, this spot immediately brings you into Caribbean culture the moment you walk through the door. The atmosphere is warm and the food absolutely delivered. It had been a long time since I'd had truly tender, flavorful oxtail, and their Oxtail & Curry Goat Combo definitely satisfied my craving. I ordered the large combo plate, which came with rice and peas, cabbage, and plantains. Both the curry goat and oxtail were packed with flavor, perfectly seasoned. I also ordered a beef patty with coco bread, and I couldn't even wait until I got home to try it.
