“I stopped by for breakfast, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Sonia was absolutely amazing! She was warm, welcoming, and took the time to walk me through the breakfast menu, explaining the different dishes and making great recommendations.

The ackee and saltfish was cooked to perfection—fresh, flavorful, and seasoned just right. You can tell it was made with care and authenticity. And the hominy porridge? Let's just say it's not for the faint of heart! It's rich, hearty, and packed with traditional flavor. If you're familiar with authentic Jamaican breakfasts, you'll definitely appreciate it.

Between the exceptional customer service and the delicious food, this place earned every one of these five stars. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!“

“It's nothing like buying Great Haitian food while you hungry, I promise my self I wouldn't eat all the food. Now I'm comatose. The food was amazing, the ambiance, down to the smell of the place. This is not your typical Haitian restaurant. You won't regret your dine in.“

“This food is very good. Kind of has the home cooked feel to it too. Only thing is the pickles could use a little work especially with the scotch bonnet pepper, I feel like they should be cut into smaller pieces. Also the price for it is very respectable compared to others. $15 for griot will have me coming back again for sure.“

“Delicious food and great service!“

“Just visited Ali’s Roti Shop for the first time. First time having roti as well and I chose this location. I give honest reviews. Never like to give a bad review unless it’s absolutely necessary. I only have one issue, I wish the portions wore more for the price. Ordered the roti curry goat. I looked up paratha roti prior to coming. That’s the one I really wanted and a customer came in behind me and ordered it, that’s when I remembered. It was my first time, I wasn’t given the options of which I’d like, but I guess that’s my responsibility to know so I will accept that. Food was delicious, spicy but I love spice. As stated before I just wish the portions were bigger. I will return however to try the boneless curry paratha roti.“

Serving a trio of cultural food. Hence there slogan
The HAJ Kitchen
- Haitian Food
-American Favorites

Their Haitian Empanadas called Pâté Kòdé is out of this world
And their Natural Juices “ Soursop Juice” is the best.“

“If you’re looking for authentic Haitian food with great flavor and reasonable prices, I definitely recommend Shamama Restaurant. They just opened on April 1st, and they’ve already made a strong impression.

The food is fresh, flavorful, and the pricing is much more reasonable compared to many restaurants in the area. One thing I can’t stop ordering is the fried taso kabrit — it’s seasoned perfectly, fried just right, and honestly so good that I keep going back for more.

The atmosphere is welcoming, the service has been great, and you can tell they care about the quality of their food. Definitely worth checking out if you love good Haitian cuisine.“

I almost forgot the fresh squeezed juice was superb!! I love an authentic mama and papa joint!! I would definitely recommend this place!!“
