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.

Wow meilleur resto haïtien où je suis allée! Le poulet était vraiment tendre! Il faut absolument essayer le riz djondjon si vous passez un dimanche (seul jour où ils le servent). Le riz avait une texture moelleuse/croustillante incroyable. En plus, la déco est super chaleureuse & belle & le service est super. Je donne 100%.

20/10 !!! Nous avons adoré notre soirée ! Peu importe ce que vous commandez, assurez-vous de prendre les accras ! Ils sont frais, croustillants & légers… un vrai délice ! Le resto est convivial & le décor est impressionnant. Où que vous posiez les yeux, il y a toujours quelque chose d'intéressant à regarder. Les propriétaires sont super sympathiques. Franchement, je n'ai rien de négatif à dire. Un incontournable !
