The Labouyi Bannann (plantain porridge) is the ultimate comfort food. Also, don't miss their Soup Joumou on Sundays—it tastes just like home. Highly recommend!“

“Authentic Haitian Food... Best Griot in Town..“

“Mannn!!! I had Jenny’s Spaghetti with smoke herring (spaghetti avec aranso). All I can say she always comes through, made to my liking😋 If you haven’t taste Jenny’s Caribbean Bistro, you are definitely missing out. Always a great experience dining there.“

“Amazing food I can’t get enough“

“The food from the Tehillah restaurant was great, and Rose was professional and responsive throughout the process. I will be ordering from the restaurant again for future events.“

“My husband and I eat at this Haitian restaurant whenever we’re in town visiting family, and they never disappoint. The food is always fresh, well-seasoned, and full of real Haitian flavor. From the fried turkey to the rice and beans and the sides, you can tell everything is cooked with care and love, not just thrown together.

What really keeps us coming back is the way they treat us. The staff is always warm, welcoming, and respectful. They make sure we’re comfortable, check on us, and treat us like regulars every single time, even when it’s busy. The service matches the quality of the food, excellent.

The atmosphere is clean, relaxed, and feels like a true Haitian home, with good vibes, good music, and good people.

Whenever we’re in town, this is our go-to spot. If you’re looking for authentic Haitian food with great service, I highly recommend this place.“

“Super casual restaurant with excellent food. This was my first time visiting Florida in over 15 years. So I had to get some Haitian food. This place didn't disappoint at all. The food was hot and fresh. The portions were over-sized in my opinion. Lot's of food if you're a heavy eater. So no complaints from me. I had the Snapper and ot was marinated to perfection!. The rice was good too. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. 10 out of 10 totally recommend!!“

“Good food. Spicy“

“The special Valentine's Day menu for $99 was certainly good value, and as a meal in itself including the Glass of Champagne was exceptional. It was packed and at that price no surprises. The extras if you needed them to add to the meal were fairly priced and also very good. Highly recommend.“

“Nice place! Good in services! Very kind and professional. The pizza aransò yummy 🇭🇹🫶🏽“

“Picked up this gem of a cake today from Grace Bakery & Pizza. My second one in 3 weeks! Its artfully adorned exterior is only matched by its lusciously velvety interieur. Thank you!!!“

“I had an amazing meal at Mange Lakay and Lounge, and I can’t recommend this place enough! The food was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and made with so much care. Every bite tasted like authentic home-cooked Haitian cuisine.

I ordered the Haitian diri blan (white rice) with sos pwa (black bean sauce) and boulet (fried meatballs), and it was absolutely delicious. The rice was perfectly cooked, the black bean sauce was rich and full of flavor, and the boulet were seasoned beautifully with a crispy outside and juicy inside. Everything tasted fresh and comforting — true Haitian flavors done right.

The restaurant itself is beautiful, very clean, and spacious. It’s big enough to host events, which makes it a great spot for gatherings, celebrations, or just enjoying a great meal.

I also want to give a special shoutout to my cashier Gelda. She is always sweet, kind, welcoming, and accommodating. Her great customer service makes the experience even better every time I visit.

If you’re looking for authentic Haitian food, a clean and welcoming atmosphere, and amazing service, Mange Lakay and Lounge is definitely the place to go. I’ll absolutely be back!“

“Man listen here…. This place is everything. I’m Haitian so it takes a lot for a Haitian restaurant to impress me. On the weekends, there’s a DJ which makes every thing even better. So all in all this place was a perfect 10! Christine was our server and provided excellent fast service.“

“The attention to the customer was amazing . they got chill music but not too loud where you cant hear the people around you. The ambience is super chill . Now let me talk about the food !!! 5 stars is really 5 stars . The food was full of flavor the rice tasted amazing the steak was tender and juicy !!! The quesadilla was full of flavor super juicy ! We had homemade passion fruit juice it was super tasteful !

And the best part was the price we both ate for under 50$ .

Come and try it ! This was too good definitely coming back !!!!“

“Lalous was my first experience with Haitian food. I honestly sought this cuisine out because I learned about Pikliz and wanted to try it. My husband and I shared the fried goat with rice and peas. The goat was perfectly seasoned, crisp on the outside, and tender on the inside. The plantains were the best I have ever had. I don't even like plantains, however, I would seek these out. The Pikliz....SO good. We loved out meal. I was so excited, I forgot to take a photo. The store front is humble. The staff are incredibly friendly. The gentleman who took our order, I would describe as jolly. If we ever find ourselves in Miami again, we will definitely be back.“

“My family and I wanted to try a Haitian restaurant while we were in Miami. We ordered 2 family packs and the sampler. The food was so delicious and plentiful that we ate it for dinner AND breakfast. The restaurant also called us to let us know that they were out of an item we had ordered. When we were on the plane back to the Memphis area, my father said he wished he could have taken the leftovers back to Memphis. A+++ Food and customer service was great!“

“I was in the area, googled Haitian food, went there, had stewed turkey- rice & peas. Loved it. Nice family owned place! I was very happy when I saw an older lady come walking out the back to go home. Probably the grandma cooking.“

“This little spot got all my stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ this authentic Haitian food was so satisfying. The white rice looked and taste great. The fried plantain was soft. The griot was freshly made. Overall the food taste was amazing!! My plate was stacked with food I even had leftover for the next day.
I had to leave a couple of dollars in the tip jar because i knew I was going to have a great dinner!“

“Had the griot and legume. Everything was well seasoned and tasted great. Highly recommend.“

“This has quickly become a weekly stop for me. I do outside sales so I’m always on the go and St. Hilaire never fails to deliver tasty bites in a hurry. For $8 you get a decent plate of fried wings and banan, with a side of pilkliz of course.. hard to beat! Patties are good too especially if you just need a quick snack!“

“This small Haitian spot is takeout-only. All orders take about 25-30 minutes, which is good because you know it’s freshly prepared, but consider calling in advance if you don’t want to wait. While there’s no ambience, there’s chairs to wait in, and the staff is friendly and helped me pick out a variety to try. The spicing and preparation were good, but a bit salty for my (non-Haitian) palette. Overall I’d love to come back to try the rest of the menu when I’m back in the area.

Parking: A handful of spots are available by pulling into the driveway in front of the building. This is directly off of a fairly busy road without street parking.“

“Le Cordon Bleu provided me with the foundation that has enabled me to become the person I am today“

“My boyfriend Jeffrey and I needed some late night food so we wanted to try this restaurant out. The plantains were the best I’ve ever had (try dipping them in the beans and you might just cry). The chicken was Chrispy yet juicy and falling off the bone. So good. Thank you to the friendly staff! <3“

“Michelle is very nice and very fast.“

“This guy pace hands down gets good food. Been eating here for over 5 years. The food might take a little while but it’s because it’s fresh. The owner is extremely involved and active. The prices are reasonable. I haven’t had a bad order here yet!!“

“North Miami Haitian Food Staple! They definitely with the times too because most Haitian restaurants even if you call in advanced they’ll still wait for you to get there to start making it, not L’Auberge! You call, show up 15-20min later and you’re foods ready! Delicious cuisine like Griot, Legume, Haitian Spaghetti & more! You’re greeted with warmth and welcome and feel right at home.“

“Best tasting Haitian cuisine in all of South Florida. If you haven't yet please please order a plate or two or five like I do for my family on the weekends. Food is amazing, service is great. And the artwork while you wait is unmatched. Thank you for serving the neighborhood what we need in our mouths. Good quality food. You'll have my service FOR LIFE 🙏🏿.....“

“I love this Haitian spot in my opinion the food here is always super good. Me and my boyfriend always come here because we crave it! The pikliz and plantains are my favorite. And every plate I’ve gotten I’ve liked. Definitely recommend! They usually always have people there waiting for their food orders because this place has became a popular favored spot for others as well. The chicken plate is the best! And portion sizes are really good.“

“Excellent food! Taste cooked right and made with love!! Always goes down good!!“

“Are you looking for a Haitian restaurant where you can finally sit, eat, and not leave with your clothes smelling like you work in the kitchen? La Gourmandize is where you should go. The atmosphere is welcoming, the location is meticulously clean, and the staff is incredibly friendly. I actually was able to conduct a business meeting there today and not worry about if my client’s clothing was going to smell like “épice” (Haitian spice). I ordered “fritay” (Hatitian sample platter). It had “akra” (fried-Haitian-finger-food), “bannann pézé” (fried plantains), “griot” (fried pork), and a side salad. You probably thought I forgot about the “Pikliz” (Haitian hot sauce)? It was some of the freshest servings of pikliz I’ve had. Although it was a fried food platter, the serving wasn’t drenched in oil. The Akra and bannann pézé were crispy, not overcooked, and well seasoned. The griot was well prepared, soft, and well spiced. I highly recommended this place if you’re in the mood for some authentic Haitian cuisine.“

“My pleasure to order & go there“

“Fish was well seasoned , juicy and flavorful. The onions pikliz were well seasoned as well. The banann peze (fried plantains)were okay. However they need to improve inside the store to create a nicer ambiance and vibe. It's dirty and where the foods are placed doesn't look sanitary at all. There's a nice purple wall with flowers but there's a bathroom door to it . Definitely need an upgrade.“

“Honestly, if I had to give it a score on a scale of 1 to 10, it would be a 9. The lady was super friendly, the food was freshly made and cooked well. I ordered the chicken special with French fries and everything was delicious, a very good price. The only thing I kind of complain about is that the wait times are long, but there was only one person doing everything, so it's understandable.“

“Yum!!! We were excited to try Haitian food after trying Cuban food. I prefer the Haitian food as it was good for the first helping and excellent the next day. We got so much chicken and legume from this wonderful takeout restaurant that we had enough for dinner, breakfast, and then lunch on the plane to Puerto Rico! I made the mistake of ordering legume thinking it would be beans but it was not a bad mistake as it was an amazing stew. Loved the boiled plantains and the rice is incredible. Loved the meat spices that are subtle and the lack of salt which I felt the Cuban food was way too salt forward though had more depth of flavor. The neighborhood and the place might look sketchy but you don’t need to worry at all! I highly recommend you try the food here.“

“The place is no longer Lumiere Restaurant. It's now call Fritay Kreole Restaurant. They serve Fry Food and other Haitian food. The food is great extraordinary exceptional. The environment is wonderful and pleasant to spend time with friends and family.“

“10000/10 so consistent, the food never changes and it’s good every time. I love this place it’s the best Haitian restaurant ever! I’m not Haitian but I love this place. The customer service could be a bit better they’ve forgotten plantains/sos pwa a few times but overall they have amazing food.“

“I visited Le Jardin Haitian Restaurant and really enjoyed the experience. The atmosphere felt warm and inviting, with a strong sense of authentic Haitian culture. I tried a traditional dish, and the flavors were bold, rich, and clearly made with care. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure everything was just right. Portions were generous, and the overall value was great. It’s a spot I’d definitely recommend for something unique and satisfying.“

“Carnival weekend , great flag night“

“Stopped by here on my way back to Tampa. The griot was honestly the best thing I had. The legume was not what I expected, but it was good. Service was ok and our food came out promptly. The rice and peas was ok as well. The bathroom was not the best and had no soap to wash hands. Overall I would return for the griot. It was crispy, juicy and well seasoned. Serving size was also fantastic. One plate could feed you for a few days. With some minor changes, this place would be top tier.“

“Great customer services the food is delicious and they improving by coming up with new ideas it’s definitely a win win“

“I come here all the time to get griot and rice beans with fried plantains and its always hot fresh and delicious. Plus i love that they give a good amount of griot for an affordable price compared to other Haitian restaurants. The restaurant itself is a hole in the wall but those are where you get the best food! Definitely recommend“
