Haitian Restaurants in North Miami, FL

“Amazing food I can’t get enough“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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 🙏🏿.....“

“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“

“So I called the restaurant ahead to place my food order, and the lady literally took my order, got my name, and everything. Mind you, I was 18 minutes away and had to take a Lyft there. Once I got there, I told one of the workers my name and what I ordered. She asked around like nobody knew what was going on, while the other lady acted completely confused. I’m standing there thinking they’re about to bring my food out, but instead I watched everybody else get their orders except me.

The Lyft driver could only wait 5 minutes, so I kept asking where my food was because I had to go. The driver ended up canceling my ride because they took so long, so I had to order another Lyft. I asked the same lady again if my order was coming, and she still gave the weakest, most unprofessional response ever. At that point my patience was running thin because y’all should’ve already had my food ready since I ordered it over the phone.

My phone was about to die, I’m not even from Miami, and I literally had to get out of character just for these people to finally give me my food and let me charge my phone. Like why do I have to go through all that just for food? I highly do NOT recommend this place at all. The professionalism was very weak, the consideration wasn’t there, and the disrespect was crazy. Standing right in front of them while they gave everybody else their food except mine is wild.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

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

“We wanted traditional Haitian/Caribbean food and this place has it. You know this when everyone in the place (except us) were from the Caribbean. Everything is so good! I had the Mixed Veggies, which is a kind of stew made with meat bones. My husband had the fried chicken. Both come with plantains and rice. We had the black rice, a first to us, and it’s really good.“

“You won’t be disappointed they have a 3$ and 5$ which the difference is chicken and one is fish but baby the taste is seasoned and if you know island people love spicy food so you know it has a kick and a lot of veggies (eggs hot dog onions green peppers) it’s a meal on its own but be prepared to wait it a cook to order and always a line but it goes by fast but it’s a must try….“

“Hot, flaky, crispy outside, and juicy chicken filling. I'm not sure how they ensure the inside stayed moist, but it's delicious 😋. It's an old-school cash only establishment, so bring cash. The staff is helpful, but the bakery goods speak for itself.“
