I have been to this place a few times but this is my first review. When I arrived I parked on the street and walked in. I was greeted by the bartender and she was very nice and had good conversation. I ordered a sangria and the vegitarian legume with black rice to go. The sangria was pretty good and so was the punch drink I ordered. The food usually takes long to come out so I am glad I had my drink while I waited. The food finally arrived and I paid about 47 for 2 drinks and the food. When I got home I dug in and it was pretty good and there was plenty. I had a pretty good experience.

Me and my two sisters called in our order separately over the phone for a to go order. ALL OF OUR ORDERS IN TOTAL WERE ABOUT 170 DOLLARS and on top of that we tipped because we were expecting top quality service. One of my sisters ordered the tour of Haiti and the legume it was repeated over the phone back to her.. She was told 15 minutes. We came from far for our food and arrived in 40 minutes which should have been more than enough time. When we arrived two of our orders were ready one of which was a huge plate of rice but NOT enough shrimp(6 pieces ) for 26 dollars and the smallest side of macaroni. When we tried to get our other order of the tour of Haiti and legume. THE ORDER WAS NOT IN THE SYSTEM so therefore now we had to wait another 15 -20 minutes for that order when we were told 10 mins. 20 minutes later she comes out with half of our order and NOT THE COMPLETE ORDER. When we inquired as to where the rest of our food was she told my sister that she did not order the legume and that there was none in the restaurant. Which was incorrect because we were all standing there waiting for the order to be filled while our other orders were getting cold. The music was entirely too loud when she was taking our order and also we are wearing masks so therefore it was even harder for her to hear us due to the level of the music. At the end she did say sorry but by then we had already been waiting for 30 minutes. No accommodations were given to us at all even though our order was put in wrong twice. We were not offered something else THE CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS NOT UP TO PAR AT ALL my sister will not be coming back due to this inconvenience and I am very unsure if I will return. We are trying to support our fellow Haitian brothers and sisters but unfortunately we were very disappointed with the service.

This was our first time ever trying Haitian food and we loved it! The food was amazing and the staff was friendly. We can't wait to go back after the quarantine is finished so we can dine in, the restaurant looks great! Service was great and staff super friendly. Highly recommend.

Went for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. The place was empty. The staff was friendly and helpful as this was our first experience with Haitian food. We had a delicious pork appetizer. We also had some delicious chicken and shrimp meals. Overall the food was great and the whole experience was very good. I would definitely recommend this for anyone who happens to be in Elizabeth.

Okay, so first of all, I NEVER usually give 5 stars at a restaurant, but I had to make an exception today because what my taste buds just experienced is just out of this world!! OMG, I’ve been living in NJ for 5 years and my quest for good Haitian food has been extremely difficult until today!!!! This was the best Haitian food I have ever tasted in my life!!! Holy cow! I’m so excited that I had to leave this review in the middle of me eating my meal! Great food, great atmosphere, great staff, and such an incredible experience! Wow!!!!!!
