Delices Antillais

Review Summary

Reviews of Delices Antillais show a mix of strong praise and practical caveats. The griot is repeatedly praised, with several readers calling it the best they've had and noting generous portions for the price. The overall flavor is described as tasty and comforting, and the staff or owner is consistently described as kind, welcoming, and dedicated, often running the place by herself. The venue is described as a small takeout spot, and on some days popular dishes are unavailable, which can be disappointing. A recurring caveat is that the restaurant is cash only, sometimes requiring a trip to an ATM and incurring fees, and some notes mention greasy meat or a salad not tasting right. Despite these issues, many reviewers would return for authentic Haitian flavors and good value.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Across the reviews Chef Jo is described as a Haitian restaurant with strong home style flavors and generous portions, featuring well seasoned meats, tasty rice, and sides like plantains and pikliz; service is generally praised for friendliness and responsiveness, and many diners appreciate the value and welcoming atmosphere.

One reviewer notes the kitchen often feels like a one person operation, which can affect polish and consistency, while others report satisfying meals and reliable delivery.
