Épicerie Costa is widely celebrated for its extremely generous portions and consistent value, with many patrons highlighting the high quality and authentic taste of the griot and other traditional dishes. Most customers are delighted by the frequent inclusion of complimentary items such as drinks, desserts, and spring rolls, which makes the ordering experience feel rewarding.

I ordered a 2x1 mixed plate after seeing some good reviews. Unfortunately, I can't say the same. Griot was dried out. Friend chicken was dried. No pikliz was included. & Riz collé was so dried. I feel like I was given old food. I couldnt finish a plate, I had to throw it out. I'd recommend Gouter Tropical over this any day.
J'ai été tenté par le spécial 2 pour 1 griot/poulet sur UberEats. Les portions sont très généreuses, mais le goût n'y est tout simplement pas. Ce n'est aucunement de la bouffe haïtienne. Le riz contient une épice que je n'arrive pas à déterminer, le griot est sec, le poulet est passable, la salade de macaroni a beaucoup trop de mayo. Le pikliz? Je n'ai jamais vu ça de cette couleur. En extra, il y a un petit gâteau sec, une salade de chou avec trop de mayo encore, des rouleaux style printaniers, une petite trempette & un coke! Donc beaucoup d'éléments, mais rien n'est réellement bon. Je ne commanderai plus.
This place is generous with portions, but for me, quality beats quantity. The food didn't feel like Haitian cuisine- the rice was dry & tasted like Chinese fried rice, & the mac & cheese had a processed Kraft flavor. I ordered griot dinde, which was dry & came with tiny pieces of meat. It also came with fried egg rolls (which were actually the best part?) & mayo, which was odd since I've never had griot with such sides. A spoonful of coleslaw in a tiny sauce cup just added to the randomness. Overall, great portions, but the flavors were not present.
Je viens de commander à nouveau sur uber eats genre maintenaient maintenaient, j'ai commande le spécial de 2 assiettes de griot dinde + 2 portions de 6 rouleaux.. je l'ai reçu ? Vraiment pas
La dernière fois j'ai commande aussi l'offre de leur restaurant sur uber eats de 2 assiettes griots + poulet , à l'achat de 1 tu reçois 1 gratuit.. je l'ai reçu ? Non plus
.. jai reçu juste 1 assiette & j'ai payé pour 2.. j'ai payé comme 45 $.. c'est du vol..
Leur restaurant sont pas professionnel & honnêtes..
En plus c'est qui me nerve que j'achète suivant sur leur resto mais sa fais 2 fois ils me font la même chose.. alors sa donne plus envie de consommer chez eux car tu payé de trop mais tu reçois pas ni l'offre qu'on t'offre ni un article que t'achete.. il faut qu'on soit vraiment chanceux pour avoir tous les articles
Alors je vais juste vous donner 2 étoiles.. demain je vous descend à 1 pour manque professionnalisme..
Merci beaucoup pour prendre mon argent
Alors fait attention à tous quand vous commandez chez eux..
J'ai commandé un griot sur Uber, nourriture excellente, j'ai beaucoup aimé, c'est arrivé encore chaud. Ils m'ont même donner 3 rouleaux de printemps, un petit gâteau & une cannette de coke en plus! J'ai eu une très belle expérience même si je n'y suis pas aller directement, je recommande fortement.
Had some Haitian food after many years living out of the city. Now I moved back & tried this place for the 1st time. Omg their griot is so tender & juicy. Legume is amazing, the rice, everything was amazing. Will be ordering again.
This place has insanely good reviews on Uber eats. I decided to give it a try & oh boy they did not disappoint. First of all, their prices on everything is very fair. I ordered a mix plate (half dinde griot half poulet) for nearly 16 bucks. They took care of my order so well everything was so well packed & they even gave me a coke drink, 3 free veggie rolls & a banana bread for free. Food always taste so good when it's a family owned business. This will truly be my go to from now on. The plate was hugeeeee I couldn't finish it. Even the coke drink tasted 100x better somehow. I did hesitate at first but I was not disappointed at all. Their plates come with many sides of sauces which they were all so tasty. It comes with a side of mac & cheese as well. The mac & cheese tasted very rich & good. (not like a regular cheap mac & cheese, you can tell its a homemade secret recipe) It's honestly a shock how good the food was for the price. Whoever made my food I will always keep you in my prayers. Please go on & support these local food businesses. It's really worth trying different cultured food.
