The woman who served us was nice and put together a giant plate of jerk chicken, rice and beans, and sweet plantains. Came with a side of pikliz to spice it up.

I'm giving this place an honorary five stars and I genuinely mean that, even though the food was…read moreabsolutely not for me. Chef Creole is one of those spots where the vibes hit you immediately. The music, the energy, the culture, the warmth. From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly welcoming, patient, and kind. They were happy to explain the menu, made us feel comfortable, and honestly just radiated good energy. You can tell they care about the people who come in and that alone made the experience feel special, especially if you want to experience Haitian culture in Little Haiti. The passion fruit drink was actually really good. Different in a fun way, almost like a tropical Slurpee. They recommended mixing both flavors into one cup and that combo definitely worked. I'd give the drink a solid four out of five and I would absolutely get that again. The atmosphere overall was great, lively but not overwhelming, and it felt authentic and welcoming. Now, respectfully, the food just wasn't my cup of tea. I only tried one plate because I wanted to play it safe, and unfortunately my taste buds just did not align. The flavors were very bold and very different from what I'm used to. This isn't a quality issue at all, it's purely personal preference. I could tell it was a popular dish and something many people genuinely love, which tells me this is more about my palate than the food itself. The plantains and the seasoning on the plate didn't land for me, and for forty dollars I personally wouldn't order it again. That said, I would still recommend coming here if you want to try Haitian food for the first time or if you already love it. The vibes are immaculate, the staff is incredibly kind, and the experience feels authentic and welcoming. Even though I won't personally be back for the food, I'm glad I came, I'm glad I tried it, and I respect the culture and the people behind it. For someone who loves Haitian food, I can easily see this being a huge hit. Honorary five stars for the service, the atmosphere, and the overall experience.

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.

It is the first "mainstream" Haitian restaurant I have ever been to, and I like the use of a good, detailed menu. Also, the graphics make everything more friendly, I definitely would say that this is a copy of a Chinese takeout but with Haitian offering. I got the pork chunks with rice and fried tostones, it was all very good and generous. The sauce was tasty and the pikliz was on point, although I would have like a bit more heat on it. Overall, very fresh and tasty good, I highly recommend this place to newbies. I'm definitely coming back.

We ordered griot (fried pork) and boulette (Cajun meatballs) dinner plates. Both came with rice (today was red beans and rice), plantain, and pikliz. The flavors were perfect, the rice was very flavorful, the griot was fried perfectly, and the pikliz had a nice spice level. We also ordered their juices - fruit punch and passion fruit - both were good. This restaurant is located in a small complex near a BP gas station and barber shop. There is limited indoor seating but we arrived at 11;30 so only one table was occupied. Most customers took their orders to go. I will definitely come here again when I am in Miami.
