Save your coins! I was looking for something to eat on 441 and came across this Haitian spot. As…read moresoon as I walked in, there was a strange smell that wasn't welcoming. But since I was starving, I ordered the conch and goat stew to go. The moment I got in the car, I noticed the food wasn't giving that aromatic Haitian smell I was expecting--red flag #2 . Once I got home, I did a quick taste test. The food was meh at best, like some kind of Haitian diet food. Save your coins and go somewhere else! ‍

When you walk in you will be delighted to see so many beautiful Haitian paintings on the wall. The paintings are very impressive. Once the hostess came, we were seated right away. The place is huge. That night, there were 2 separate parties and the restaurant open at the same time. They played some good Haitian music, that Playlist had me wanting to dance. The music wasn't loud and it gave it a nice vibe. The place was well lit and not loud at all. Now for the food! The food is some of the best Haitian food I have had in the area. The akra for appetizers is a must. They give you a good amount and it was fried perfectly. For entrees we ordered the seafood legume and the fried red snapper. That snapper was so big I can only eat half. It had so much flavor and fried to a perfect crips. The fried plaintain was good and the pikliz had just the right amount of pepper. The seafood legume was also a hit. It was flavorful and spicy. They gave you a good amount of lanbi and crab, just wish they gave more vegetables. The rice and beans and the sos pwa goes perfect with the legume. I ordered the punch and it was good and strong. Could only drink one. I would come here again just to try their other dishes or to chill out with friends. The owner was very nice and stopped by all the tables to see how things were going. Come here if you want some good haitian food with good drinks. You won't be disappointed with the food.

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.

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.

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.

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.
