Review Summary

Customers describe Chef Mak as a warm, family owned Haitian spot with generous portions and consistently flavorful dishes like griot, riz djon djon, plantains, and macaroni salad, all paired with a spicy pikliz and a creamy sauce on the chicken plate. Service is repeatedly praised as fast, friendly, and attentive, with staff making guests feel welcome and part of the family. While the food is praised for taste and portion size, some reviews note occasional problems such as dry griot, rice that is too cooked or under salted, and pricing that feels steep. Occasional remarks mention takeout packaging instead of dine in plating, and a few complaints about hours or closing times. Overall the place is regarded by many as one of the top Haitian spots in the area, with strong recommendations to return and try multiple dishes.

I try to visit a new Haitian restaurant every time I pass by Montreal Nord, which isn't too often for me. The pricing here was bit higher than expected, but when I saw the big portion I was served it seemed more reasonable. I had my meal there & it was served in takeout containers instead of the available plates. But other than that detail the service was friendly, owners ensured that I was enjoying the meal. I went for their Chef Mak special chicken, a creation of their own which features a thicc, interesting thousand-island inspired sauce. Dish came with 3 pieces of chicken, a fat portion of creamy macaroni salad, a big pile of rice, pikliz, gravy & some plantain. The plantain was a bit dry for me but the rest of the items were awesome, particularly the macaroni salad.

Drove one hour to visit this place that my friend recommended me. I had no expectations & the food blew my mind. The sauce on the chicken plate is creamy & full of flavors, the rice & all the sides are on point. Will come back for sure. I heard in summer 2025 they will have a terrace also, can't wait to come back!
