amazing food!! the pikliz bowl with shrimp had so much flavour & was a great portion for dinner. the shrimp were super tasty too, & resembled a panko-crust or tempura-style shrimp. amazing service & cozy vibe too!
Overlooked Haitian cuisine place. I was surprised how tasty the dishes were! I went on a Wednesday night, so they were missing some of the menu items. Shrimps 10/10. Overall great experience, from food to service & atmosphere.

I've always been curious about what people were eating whenever I passed by Atwater Market, & I finally got the chance to try it! I ordered the BBQ Chicken, which tasted quite similar to jerk chicken, & the hot sauce on top was delicious with a hint of mango. As for the patties, I tried both the codfish & beef-while the beef one was tasty, the fish one had a bit of a strong flavor. The chicken wings were average & could be skipped. The highlight of the meal was definitely the shrimp. It was perfectly coated, fried to a crispy finish, & paired with a fantastic sauce that made it absolutely irresistible. We even ended up ordering a second round of it! Overall, the portions are on the smaller side, more like tapas. Without drinks, it's about $30 per person.
Went here yesterday right before closing & the food was still extremely fresh & delicious. We ordered takeout & sat outside, but the service was pleasant & the ambiance inside seemed nice. I had the bol du griot & my friend had the shrimp wrap & we both really enjoyed our food. It's not the traditional Haitian food you'd get at a casse-croûte style restaurant or a takeout place like what I've had in the US, but I appreciated the freshness of the ingredients & that their menu still offers some traditional options. Can't wait to come back & try some more items on the menu.
Had the shrimps coconut & riz djondjon & everything tasted like homemade food, which means I'm def going back! The service & the ambiance were top notch. Keep up the amazing work guys
Very good little restaurant. The griot melts in your mouth. The shrimps were so flavourful. The aioli sauce they give with the fries was so tasty. Service was great! Music & ambience were really great. It's loud when you first walk in, & it seems cramped because it's such a small place, but once you're seated, the tables have ample space to be comfortable & have a wide variety of plates. Didn't understand why we weren't allowed to buy a Jarritos without buying a taco, but that's just a detail. We like water anyways, which they give you a nice cold bottle of upon arrival. Will definitely return!
Kabrit was dry & tasteless. Shrimp & calamari had no seasoning. The sauces they come with were the same quality than what you would get at a fast food place. Beef feuilleté was as good as what you can get in England. Upside pineapple cake was alright, more cherries than pineapple I find.

Delicious food, friendly staff & great atmosphere At the time of this review, it's been my third time to this delicious place Delicious food with reasonable portions - pretty fast service in a very nice atmosphere! The shrimps are particularly delicious, as is griyo of course! Portions are great & prices ar reasonable, though you're better off ordering 2 servings of the 4 shrimps rather than the 6 shrimps - 4 shrimps at 9$ is 2.25$ a shrimp, whereas 6 at 14$ comes to 2.33$ a shrimp Definitely recommend the place!
Celebrated my bday with friends & family. Absolutely loved this restaurant its small & cozy. The service is excellent the food was delicious The shrimps & the cabrit where my favorite. Theres a Dj on Saturdays the beats & music was so good. I truly recommend. The waitresses & owner where so kind. Je me suis beaucoup amusé !
Literally the best service & the best food. I had the griot, rice, plantain & shrimp. The shrimp were my favourite! The lemonade was fantastic & the girls working offered excellent custom service. Perfect family owned restaurant - tables were set nice & a great breeze!
