Excellent ! J'ai commandé chez Aleken pour la visite de mes tantes de New York & tout était parfait.
J'ai pris du riz, des légumes haïtiens & du griot : tout était bien préparé, savoureux & généreux.
En plus, on m'a donné de la sauce & du pikliz. Service au top !
Je recommande vraiment.
First time...came here pretty much to try this place. Decided on the griot. I thought it looked small but the portions are good. Pikliz wasn't spicy but had good flavor.....so it meant I could use more. Given a choice of 3 salads of about 5 different ones. Griot was nicely fried on the outside & still jumped cu & tender on the inside. Will have to come back to try the cabri!
My girlfriend & I ordered a chicken & griot plate. The menu promised macaroni & rice for each plate. What we received was the complete opposite.
Instead of proper sides, the dish had a handful of spring-mix leaves sitting in the same container as the hot food not on the side, not separated literally touching the rice & meat. It looked like decoration, but the heat turned it into a wilting, soggy salad that made the entire plate steamy & mushy. The contrast was unpleasant, & the salad was unusable.
To make matters worse, my girlfriend's plate never showed up at all. We had to split my meal, which was already small, leaving us both still hungry. Portion-wise, it wasn't even enough for one person, let alone two.
The photos online are misleading. The plates in the pictures look full, clean, & intentional. What we got felt rushed, poorly assembled, & nowhere near the advertised presentation.
The only reason we ate it is because we were starving - & I'll be honest, the taste wasn't terrible. I'd give the flavor 3.9/5, but everything else from accuracy to portion to presentation was a miss.
If you're ordering because of the pictures, manage your expectations. What's advertised is not what's delivered.
Disappointing, & unfortunately not a place I'd recommend.
Le griot était gras aucun morceaux moelleux & juteux pour le prix d'une canette & plat à 23$ ça vaut pas tant la peine par contre le riz était bon.
For almost a year evertime i stop carrefour laval a lways pass by & get the Griot.I went im the begginning of the week & the food was not fresh at all.Sauce was supee liquid & meat
The service, food & cleanliness is amazing. The woman working there made a fresh batch of griot for us to assure our satisfaction. We were so pleased with her caring service. The food was amazing, great taste & crisp. Definately recommend this location for authentic Creole cuisine on the go. (Ps; they also have 2 for 1 deal on griot monday through wednesday).
Bon prix, bon service. Intéressant de découvrir des plats qu on connait moins. C est 2 pour 1 sur le griot du lundi au mercredi. On a mangé en fsmille pour 20$. Excellent
