Wow!! I am proud to say, This restaurant super Great!
Service & Food are beyond norms. I will come at least once weeks! Thanks everyone one. Keep it the good work.
Toujours un fan de vos saveurs après 3 ans de fidélité, mais grosse déception aujourd'hui (7 déc.) sur la quantité. La portion de riz a drastiquement diminué. C'est dommage de sortir de table en ayant encore faim. On comprend l'inflation, mais augmentez les prix au lieu de réduire les assiettes ! Attention à ne pas perdre vos habitués.
C'est un des meilleurs restaurant à Montréal, quand tu manges la nourriture de Kovest tu as l'impression que tu te trouves en Haïti. J'aime vraiment les plats. Un jour, j'avais commandé un plat de fritay, c'était tellement beaucoup que j'ai dû manger mon plat à deux reprises de la journée.
C'est un restaurant que je recommande fortement!
Junior chef was courteous, kind, friendly & professional, & the food tastes very good. Authentic Haitian cuisine. Extremely surprised at the variety of options that were available, given the fact that we showed up at 11pm. I wish he was located in Ottawa. Highly recommend, Will come back again!!!! 😊

Food was dry. I ordered beef tassot fritay. Sauce was missing even i asked twice. The bald head guy behind the counter was dishonest & manipulative. For a pick up,Got charged almost 34$ for 28$ plate, he added 6$ tips to himself then handed the payment pad discreetly,hiding the screen with his hand, so u can just tap without any knowledge of the generous tip that you unconsciously donate. These type of behavior are from a personal nature, but irresponsibly propagate the hate & stygma on the Haïtian community & should be condemned.
La bouffe est extrèmement bonne, par contre les deux fois que j'y suis allé il leur manquait des choses (plus de riz collé/pikliz/macaroni).
Il faut pt pas y aller trop tard dans la journée.
Le poulet 10/10 rien à dire!

Depuis peu beaucoup de restaurants Haïtiens poussent comme des champignons 🍄, ce n'est pas toujours facile de savoir lequel est mieux.
Nous avons tenté notre chance étant donné qu'un haut niveau d'étoiles est attribué à celui-ci.
Service irréprochable avec le sourire.
Le plat quand à lui respecte très bien ce que l'on est venu chercher.
Le poulet est goûteux, la sauce qui vient avec est très bonne lorsque versé sur le riz.
Les macaronis ont une belle texture ainsi que la banane plantain qui est moins rigide que d'autres endroits.
Aucune reproche à faire
