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.

Dukunoo in Wynwood is definitely the place to be on a Sunday! I went with some family and friends…read moreand we had such a great time. The outdoor vibe was everything and the DJ was playing reggae and dancehall, which really set the tone and kept the energy going all day. We started with the Crispy Ackee Rolls with Coconut Scotchie Dip and the jerk wings -- both were so flavorful and absolutely delicious. To drink, I had the One Love and the Wild Side Rum Punch, and both were so good! The atmosphere, food, drinks, and music made for such a fun experience. Definitely a great spot to hang out with family and friends, enjoy amazing vibes, and have great food and cocktails. My only tip: come early when they open! By the time we were leaving, there was already a line forming, so this spot definitely gets busy for a reason. Will absolutely be back again soon!

Dukunoo absolutely lived up to the hype…read more I came here for dinner and ordered the oxtail with rice and peas and a side of festival. Everything was incredible. The oxtail was tender, flavorful, and fell right off the bone. It was so good that I couldn't wait until I got home to finish my leftovers. I ended up eating them in the car. The restaurant itself is spacious, with plenty of seating both inside and outside. The atmosphere was lively and energetic, and the place was packed when I visited. Be prepared to wait, but trust me, it's worth it. The drinks were another highlight. They were sweet, strong, and complemented the meal perfectly. DJ Bre kept the vibe going all night with a great mix of music that added to the overall experience without overpowering the conversation. Great food, great drinks, and great energy. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm craving Jamaican food in Miami.

The patties have less filling than before and they do not give hot sauce anymore.

This is probably the best spot in Miami to get a Jamaican patty. I came here right when they opened…read moreand ordered a dozen Jamaican patties. It was so convenient because I had a Caribbean themed birthday party to go to that was a potluck and had to bring something on theme. Everyone loved them, they were so excited that I brought the patties. Unfortunately, I didn't snap a pic of the patties with all the excitement from the party. But if you are looking for authentic Jamaican food, this is the spot to checkout. They are located in the shopping center off sunset and 87th. The only reason I gave 4 stars was because they are supposed to open at 11:00 am and the person that opened the store was 5 minutes late.

From the service to the food, our experience at Shiso was impeccable…read more We walked in for happy hour on a Sunday. The vibe of the space feels like they brought in the murals of wynwood to their interior design. The music selection was rap hit after rap hit, loved. We sat at the bar. Our server was Marcus. He was so helpful and attentive. Gave us his menu recommendations, which we followed suit. We ordered the duck dumplings and the sweet potato croquettes from the HH menu. From the regular menu, we ordered the bbq toro and the oxtail udon. The duck dumplings had a rich au jus, great. Our favorite app was the sweet potato croquette. Slightly sweet, a satisfying crunch, but soft in the center with tender brisket. The white bbq sauce and parm gave it a nice smoky nuttiness. Ordered another round, they were so good! The bbq toro had an amazing smokey flavor and a nice citrusy butter as the sauce. The cut was perfect. The oxtail udon was really hearty, and by far the best dish we had (though all the dishes were seriously incredible). It comes with a cured egg yolk, which they mix for you tableside. There was a good amount of oxtail in the dish and the udon sauce - bottle it for me please and thank youuu.

I've always loved this place, but lately it feels like they're trying so hard to be trendy that…read moreit's starting to take away from what they actually do well -- the food. Sometimes less is more. I booked brunch for the Sunday after Valentine's Day. The reservation was confirmed, but then I found out they don't even open until 5 PM that day. How does a brunch reservation get confirmed for a time when the restaurant isn't open? I decided to give it another try this weekend and went at 5 PM to sit at the bar. The hostess told me there was a "Hungry Post" event happening. I asked about the price and she said it was $100 per person. Okay, fine -- but when I asked what the event included or what it was about, she seemed unsure and said it was "just a party" and that you just go in. No explanation of what was included, no specials, nothing. Charging $100 per person just to attend a "party" with no clear details feels odd and poorly communicated. I genuinely want this place to succeed because the food and drinks are great -- I just wish they would focus on that and improve communication and organization instead of trying so hard to be trendy.

Noam greeted us warmly and immediately helped arrange a buffet-style setup featuring all the popular Haitian dishes--everything was flavorful, authentic, and beautifully prepared. The GM, Malinda, was extremely attentive, making sure everyone knew what each dish was and felt comfortable, and Matta was very professional and efficient while setting everything up. This was a real test of Naomi's Garden's ability to handle pressure and a big group, and they passed with flying colors. Beyond the amazing food, we genuinely learned about Haitian culture through the cuisine. Incredible experience--highly recommend Naomi's Garden for both the food and the hospitality.

Food was very unappealing. The chicken was just okay the thigh was burnt and dry…read more The sweet plantains were also burnt, dry, and extremely small. The collard greens had no seasoning at all and tasted like watered-down vegetables. The key lime pie was soggy and, on top of that, very small. Honestly, the only good thing about this dinner was the canned soda. Sad part is we've bought from here before the snapper meal at was super good about 4 yrs ago after that we bought the snapper again then it all went down hill from there I thought I'd give them a try again but I'm 100% sure never to order from here again. I had to throw the entire meal to the trash .Oh and the Mac and cheese is in the trash too. Either fire all the cooks or close this place down .

Let's start with the mojito that came with such a large piece of sugar cane. It was so good! The waiter recommended my meal and it was delicious. The meat was tender and well seasoned. It also came with beans and rice. One meal was probably enough for two people! The restaurant is located on the 4th floor of the outdoor mall near some neat shops. I loved the restaurant decor and everyone was so friendly. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and gave great menu recommendations. The staff was attentive, stopping by to refill our water and clear plates. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Marabu was a disappointment. We were hoping to have a memorable Cuban food on our short trip to…read moreMiami and unfortunately they did not deliver. We had an early reservation that they couldn't find when we checked in. They told us we could only sit outside in 95degree heat (the inside of the restaurant was actually empty?) They did seat us inside once we showed proof of our reservation... Our server was a nice guy and sweet with our daughter. We ordered the ham croquettes, ropa vieja, and fried snapper. The croquettes were OK. The ropa vieja was not good. The flavor was very one dimensional, it just tasted like tomato paste. I didn't like how they plated it - ropa vieja in a dish on a plate, with a totally separate plate for rice and beans. It made the meal feel disjointed and small. The deep fried snapper was the most disappointing. It was snapper nuggets with a (Cajun?) seasoning on top. They tasted like catfish nuggets and nothing about that dish felt or tasted Cuban. The idea of plating it with the fish bone wrapped around had good intentions but it didn't land. Does it really make sense to call this dish "whole fried snapper" if it's served as nuggets? Rice and plantains came on a separate plate and they were fine. I expected a lot more from this meal, but maybe we had an off experience.
