Review Summary

Kayimite Epicerie attracts mixed feedback in these reviews. Some diners praise flavorful Haitian dishes, highlighting the rice and peas, chicken, and fried plantain as especially tasty, and commend the professional staff and attentive service. French notes praise good griot and the pickles, while another comment questions why chicken appears in legume and a dish is said to be not great. A viewpoint acknowledges that the restaurant can be a bit pricey but justifies it as a local business challenge, and that the food is worth trying and among the best Haitian meals experienced. One remark mentions the place being closed, adding a contrasting note to the overall impression. Overall, Kayimite Epicerie is seen as offering strong flavors and solid service, with positive impressions of the staff and a few concerns about value and consistency.View restaurant profile

Valde Restaurant Casse Croute offers a warm welcome and an enjoyable experience, with guests traveling from afar to enjoy excellent griots and finding the dishes delicious, and the staff described as very friendly.

Review Summary

Reviews describe Au goût tropical as delicious Haitian cuisine with standout griot, pikliz, and plantains, praising flavorful dishes like the Rio Rio pickle, a warm ambiance, and friendly service, with many saying they will return to try more of the menu. Not the best for everyone, but it remains among the top Haitian options for many. The staff are described as friendly and the overall vibe as welcoming. Several reviewers mention plans to come back multiple times to explore the full menu. One Uber Eats order is noted where a griot arrived in a kid's portion with barely any rice and dry meat, and when contacted about it the response was that Uber Eats portions differ from dine-in, making that the last visit. Taken together, the tone is positive overall with a caveat about delivery portions.View restaurant profile
