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.

Pearl of the Island in Margate is a hidden gem for authentic Haitian food. The portions are…read moregenerous and the flavors are rich, fresh, and absolutely delicious. Everything tasted well seasoned and made with care. My o ly issue was the macaroni was sooo cold, as if they didn't even bother to warm it up and the griot was really dry. Overall, If you are looking for great Haitian cuisine that leaves you full and somewhat satisfied, this spot is definitely worth a visit.

Someone dropped the ball and this is a disappointing experience. Now I doubt I'll order again cause this just ruined my entire meal and expectation. I was willing to forgive the driver error but this an actual restaurant error that's unacceptable. For what I just spent on this, I could have gotten WAY better elsewhere.

Last week I came to Konakai after a car salesman from Peru recommended the place. He made the place…read moresound so delicious and fun that we left the dealership in Sunrise and came here. Once we arrived I realized we have been here before... It's been about 10 years and my memory from back then was good food and nice atmosphere. And now we're back.... a Friday night and they have some outside tables available (if you wanted some quieter atmosphere) because inside was dinner drinking and karaoke... we had a table good for hubby and I to watch. There was a large group (a party of some sorts) and a lot of great singers; and so many people jumped up to dance along with many of the songs. We tried a couple of varieties of the peruvian classic drink, Pisco Sour... once traditional and one with a mango twist. They were very good (not my thing but very good for what they are). We shared one of their ceviches (amazing) I ordered Tacu Taco with chicken and my husband got some seafood dish; I can't remember what it was called but I know we could've shared one dish since the servings are huge. We can't wait to return !

Konakai is located in a plaza right next to the movie theater, with plenty of parking, and every…read moretime I pass by it always looks lively and packed , so I finally decided to check it out on a weekday. The vibe did not disappoint. They play great music, the atmosphere is fun, and the service was friendly. The only thing that threw me off a bit was the timing of the food. I received my dish first, but it took about 10 more minutes for the person I was dining with to get theirs. I also noticed the same thing happening at a few tables around us, so it seems like the kitchen was running a little behind that day. Now, the food itself? Delicious. I ordered the shrimp ceviche, which was fresh and flavorful, and the filet mignon lomo saltado. The steak was a bit tough to chew, but the flavor of the sauce was spot on and really well seasoned. Overall, despite the slight delay with the dishes, I enjoyed the meal and would come back to try more. Their Peruvian-Asian fusion options sound especially interesting, and I'd love to explore more of the menu.

The decor is elegant with lots of beautiful pictures throughout, and even the bathroom was very clean with stylish design details. The gold in the bathroom was a cute touch and the large mirrors. The food was served fresh and hot, which I really appreciated. My only small concern was that the rice was a tad bit hard, but everything else made up for it. The fried plantains were perfectly crisp and really delicious. I also tried the legume for the first time and it was very well seasoned and flavorful. I had soursop juice for the first time as well, and it was amazing nice, creamy, and refreshing, especially on such a hot day. They offer lunch specials with very reasonable prices for the amount of food you receive, and it even includes a drink.
