    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.

    When I entered the restaurant I was greeted by the owners and classic Haitian music. Service was…read morereally good. I was pleased when speaking to the owners. Learning that they opened during a pandemic and have a pretty good following. I ordered chicken in sauce with rice and beans. It looked like the rice and beans were the left overs from the pot and many variations in color. The white rice I ordered on the side was really good. Believe it or not you can mess up white rice lol. My daughter didn't want to even try the rice and peas because it looked old. I was really hoping to get a Haitian restaurant with 5 stars and this place has 5 star service however the food just wasn't what I am accustomed to. I think it's important for restaurants to be consistent. No matter what time you come you should get the same quality. Im sure they probably didn't want to have to make new rice but if it's offered it should be good. Im not sure if I will return because I just wasn't in the mood to cook and wanted to see if their cuisine would be worth the drive. Not bad at all if I'm in the area already. However, I think they should do quality checks before serving food. I was disappointed...

    I've been craving some authentic Haitian cuisine, and Le Goût Des Caraïbes came highly…read morerecommended--so I had to give it a try. From the moment I walked in, the energy was inviting and refreshing. The staff were welcoming and friendly. They made sure I had everything I needed and explained the menu well. You could tell they take pride in their food and culture. The inside of the restaurant is painted a bright, vibrant green that immediately catches your eye. It feels fresh, clean, and full of life. Kompa music plays in the background, setting the perfect mood--it honestly made me want to dance while waiting for my food! The vibe is effortlessly Caribbean, transporting you without ever leaving the city. Portions were generous, and for the flavor and quality, it's more than worth it. Great value for an authentic Caribbean experience. You won't leave hungry! I went with my go to meal , which never disappoints! * Dinde Tassot (fried turkey): Crispy on the outside, tender inside. Seasoned to perfection--savory, flavorful, and with that bold Haitian kick. * Black rice (diri djon djon): Rich, earthy, and aromatic. You can tell it's made with love and tradition. * Macaroni with cheese: Creamy, cheesy, and made just right--comfort food at its best. Not baked, but still Great. I always order extra ! * Fried plantains: Golden and sweet with a perfect crisp on the outside. * Pikliz & gravy: The pikliz added that tangy, spicy crunch that ties everything together beautifully. The gravy? Poured it on everything! Can't wait to explore more on the menu !

    The food here was overwhelmingly salty. They definitely overdo it with the salt, Maggie, and…read morevarious spices. My grandma's blood pressure spiked because of it. We've been chugging down water non-stop. I can't even finish my meal; it's making me feel lightheaded. I ordered a side of avocado, and they just threw it on top of the box in an open bag, with nothing to protect it. It was touching everything else and was also hard, so I couldn't eat it at all. I really wanted to enjoy the food, but my chest is burning, and my head is pounding from all the salt in the gravy. That's $30 wasted. On the bright side, the service was excellent. The waiter was friendly and accommodating. Service rating: 8/10! Food rating: 2/10! Ambiance 7/10

    ZERO stars! First time trying this place. Unsuccessful at calling in order bc phone ringer was on…read moresilent. No greeting or customer service. I ask what food was available she went to the back and said all are ready. Ordered after 5 mins she said if I paid it'll would be quicker. I pique at 2:52. At 3:08, she said food will be ready in 10 mins. At 3:25 she told me they didn't have any griot. Only 1 plate was served to a food delivery person while I was waiting. I was so disappointed in the experience. Waited 30 + mins to say they were out of my food w no apology. I requested a refund and left. Be careful choosing this place to eat and be ready to wait.
