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.

Really good Haitian restaurant. Fairly priced. Their griot is delicious. They have an amazing list of cocktails & even their non-alcoholic options are delicious. You can always order from take out apps for those cold winter days when you just don't feel like leaving home. The Kivi was absolutely delicious too!
