The combination of flavors was great and the portions did not miss at all. The dressing that comes with the cabbage was sooo tasty.

I ordered the $16 lunch special to go, which included a green plantain sandwich filled with griot, a small salad, and passion fruit lemonade. The food was absolutely perfect. The griot was expertly prepared: tender and well seasoned with a citrusy flavor that makes authentic Haitian fried pork so delicious; less is really more for this dish. The meat tasted fresh, flavorful, and carefully cooked; it wasn't greasy, dry, or overly salty. Instead of traditional bread, the sandwich was made with fried green plantains. The small salad was fresh. . The passion fruit lemonade was tropical and really refreshing. For $16 the quality, portion and overall value is not bad at all. (They also have $5 happy hour specials). I waited approximately 15 minutes for my takeout order, but it was worth it. The food tasted freshly prepared rather than rushed or sitting around and microwaved. A special thank you to Paolane, the hostess. She was sweet, professional, patient, and genuinely helpful. Since this was my first visit, she took the time to help me understand the menu and choose my order. Her excellent customer service made a wonderful first impression. Although I ordered takeout, I noticed that the restaurant was very clean, comfortable, and inviting. The climate control was perfect which may seem like a small detail but it made the wait much more pleasant. The décor was tasteful and polished. I also noticed that dine in meals are presented on adorable wooden style plates and bowls which adds something special to the dining experience. I also ordered a Haitian hot chocolate for my grandson. He is a very picky eater, so I'll update this review once it passes his official taste test. BunNan delivered authentic flavor, thoughtful presentation, excellent service, and impressive value. I wish they had a long Island location but I will definitely return!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND them a try.

The space is beautiful and very well decorated, and the servers were kind and knowledgeable about the menu. I ordered the djon djon rice bowl with oxtail, the fritay platter, and soup joumou, and we also tried the Sunday special with white rice and sos pwa. My dish came out after everyone else's, so I ended up taking it to go, which was disappointing. The fritay platter was a highlight. The plantains were crispy and the akra and marinade were well seasoned. My mom enjoyed her soup, but felt the sos pwa was a bit watery and could have been thicker. When I got home, the rice had a great texture but the aroma smelled slightly burnt, maybe they were going for a smoky flavor. The oxtail was well flavored, but I did find a small piece of plastic in my rice, which was concerning. Overall it was okay, but it did not blow me away. I have had better Haitian food at cookouts or family gatherings, though if this is your first time trying Haitian food, you may enjoy it.

It was my first time trying Haitian food and I was surprised at how similar it was to Spanish food. Every plate we ordered was very flavorful and unique in taste. The sauces that came with our dishes were spicy (just how I like it) but so unique in spice too. I could have drank the sauces. There was nothing that we didn't like! The drinks were also simple, very light and yummy - not too sweet. The vibes of the restaurant were also very cute and dimly lit (but not too dim). They gave us the best seat in the house too - the corner window booth with views of the entire floor. It was a perfect date night! Will definitely be coming back and highly recommend if you're looking to eat some delicious Haitian food!

So... because of this, I knew rebel needed to step it up. I made a reservation the morning off, but honestly didn't need to, they had space to accommodate us on a Wednesday night. It's has a rustic charm and is quite intimate. I saw a few couples really enjoying the vibe if you know what I mean lol. The server was nice, but blunt lol. He really was just there to vibe, which I respect! We got two orders of the pork entree with a side of rice, as well as a chicken entree. The food came out fairly quickly and was delicious especially when you paired it with their side sauce. I will say this restaurant is on the pricier end compared to other Haitian restaurants, but worth it. I will most definitely be back.

I was the only customer dining inside the restaurant but several people came to pick up take out orders while I was there. You order from a small window in the back right corner on the restaurant. I went with the fritaille plate with griot ($21) and a passionfruit juice ($3) My food came out quite quickly. Many reviews here mention unpleasant interactions with a male owner. I did not encounter him and was instead served by a woman who was patient and kind. The quantity of food was impressive. I never could have finished this all in one sitting. My plate came with a good portion of griot- fried cubes of pork. The pork is slightly dry and chewy on the exterior, but it's well seasoned and the fatty pieces are juicy and melt in your mouth. The pikliz is acidic and spicy and refreshing as a complement to a plate of heavy, fried food. It also comes with a large sausage, scored before cooking which improved the texture. The sausage was meaty and rich. I also had a large quantity of fried green plantains. These are generally not my favorite thing, but this version was very well cooked and not overly dry inside. My favorite part of the meal was a completely new item for me- Accra. These are long, wedge shaped fritters made of malanga, a starchy root vegetable similar to yucca. They are breaded and deep fried. They came out hot with a crunchy exterior and a soft interior. The texture reminds me of glutenous rice and the flavor is mild. I enjoyed dipping them in the two accompanying sauces. One sauce was acidic and spicy, with a flavor similar to Tabasco. The other came warm and it was rich and savory. It's smooth and blended and seems to made with tomatoes and cooked onions. The passionfruit juice was a great accompaniment to the meal. It was sour and sweet and I found it difficult to not chug it all immediately. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to try Haitian food in the Canarsie area. Although I can not speak to the authenticity, the food was comforting and felt like home cooking. The portion was very large and I certainly felt I got my money's worth.

It's not like one was actually reserved, but hey, it worked out, so I'm happy about that. Onto the food: I am half Haitian, and I may not speak Haitian Kreyol, but I know my Haitian food. I can prove my Haitian ethnicity by cooking traditional dishes. The legume was on point! That dish was my favorite. My friend truly enjoyed her salmon. Honestly, I wish I had gotten the salmon to take home instead of the Haitian fried chicken. Now, that wasn't that great to me, and I didn't enjoy it :( I'm still giving them all the stars and all the props because I really appreciated the service. This was my first time trying a Haitian patty with spinach, and it was absolutely fantastic. I think it's even better than the chickpea one. I would definitely highly recommend this place and also go back. But the Haitian fried chicken need to be better. Still, I'll definitely come again and try the salmon next time!!!

Offering delicious and flavorful Haitian comfort food tucked away in the heart of Brooklyn, Lakou…read moregave me my first delicious taste of Haitian cuisine. I ordered the vegan platter whose black beans were smooth and piping hot, alongside the crispy fried tostones and meaty vegan meatballs. In fact the meatballs were so meat-like that neither my sister nor my husband could belief that they were made of jackfruit. The white rice was also extremely fluffy and moist and judging by the diligent rice-washing that was taking place behind the counter as we ate, I could tell that the staff really works hard to make it not just an afterthought, but a quality addition to the meal. My sister also really enjoyed her shrimp plate while my husband devoured his half-chicken platter. The sauces on our platters were also extremely flavorful, complementing the proteins in a beautiful way. All of us left Lakou Cafe feeling happy and satisfied with the portion sizes and level of quality. 10/10 I will definitely be heading back to this place the next time I'm in Brooklyn!

I finally tried these delicious Haitian patties and I have no regrets. I went with two chicken and…read moreone beef patties. I got very lucky because these patties literally came straight out of the oven. They were delicious and fresh. The service needs improvement. There is no clear line formed to order. People sort of bunch up or crowd around instead of forming a line. Also, the staff member didn't greet me or anyone with a "Hello, Good morning, etc." The patties tasted very good. Nice and flaky but not too flaky. Also, there's a decent amount of meat (chicken and beef) inside of them. The total for 3 patties was about $5! Not bad at all! I'm looking forward to going back and placing a larger order. And possibly try a beverage as well.

The potato salad I mean and it's usually not available so I was happy to get it. Griot is best served fresh from the fryer. It doesn't lend itself to sitting around. At times it can be dry so it really depends on when you come here but it tastes great regardless. They have a signature label passionfruit juice and limeade which I haven't tried yet, but it looks popular. Edited to add: They ended up frying a fresh batch for me! Yum!

This restaurant is, unfortunately, a completely incompetent establishment. The customer service is…read moreunacceptable, and the staff running it are consistently disorganized and unprofessional. I placed an order and was told it would be ready in 30 minutes. An hour after they claimed to be open, I was then told they had not even started preparing the food yet. I adjusted and told them I would arrive at 12:30, which I did. When I got there, the door was locked. I called and was told to wait another 10 minutes. At that point, I reasonably assumed my order--just six fried meatballs--was already being prepared. However, when I returned after waiting, I was told nothing had been made because I "didn't confirm" I wanted it exactly at 12:30 during the call. This makes absolutely no sense. So the original 30-minute wait time I was given meant nothing, and my order was never even started. The lack of communication, accountability, and basic professionalism is honestly shocking. To make matters worse, the employee was dismissive and walked away from me as if my concerns didn't matter at all. The entire experience felt careless and disrespectful. From the inconsistent opening times to the unprepared staff and rude behavior, this establishment appears disorganized from top to bottom. Even the condition of the place reflects the lack of care put into the business. Overall, this was a frustrating and disappointing experience, and I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone expecting reliable service or basic respect for their time. They honestly deserve a -5 star review
