About

Shandmas specializes in authentic Haitian culinary traditions by focusing on rich, savory staples that define the island experience. The kitchen prepares signature griot featuring cubes of marinated pork fried until golden and crisp, served alongside pikliz for a sharp, spicy contrast. Patrons frequently encounter hearty portions of rice and peas seasoned with aromatic epis, which serves as the foundational spice blend for many dishes. Plantains provide a sweet and starchy accompaniment to succulent stews and seasoned meats prepared according to traditional methods. The atmosphere maintains a focus on the delivery of genuine Caribbean flavors through bold seasoning and reliable cooking techniques. Each plate emphasizes the deep cultural heritage of Haitian gastronomy through consistent execution and the use of authentic, high-quality ingredients sourced to ensure a representative and flavorful experience for every diner.

Hygiène très douteuse, j'ai vomi mon repas dès mon retour à la maison. Le riz blanc était froid. Pas de breuvage chaud, pas de café ni thé, sauf de l'eau chaude si on le demande plusieurs fois. Difficile de distinguer les aliments dans les bols ou les assiettes. Pas de desserts.

I had to edit my review because I keep getting food poisoning. Probably from the meat sauce.
Great spicy food. Hot & fresh. I have been there 3 times & it's good every time. Their cocktails are great & very strong.

Décor coloré & musique joviale qui donnent une ambiance vraiment dépaysante & relâchée. La nourriture est excellente, nous avons pu partager les plats, avec des accras, du porc, du poulet, de la banane plantain, vraiment il y en a pour tous les goûts. Les sauces également très goûteuses. La serveuse était d'une gentillesse qui nous donne espoir en l'humanité. Le tarif est bon marché. Je reviendrai & conseillerai cette adresse. Merci encore.

Nous avons essayé le moitié moitié : Poulet & Griot avec la bière de gingembre... Vraiment délicieux & la bière de gingembre est assez intense tout a fait a mon goût

Merci beaucoup 🥰
