“Ran up on this place visiting the gas station and the food was so good I went back the next day to REPEAT!! The food was spectacular. The jerk chicken was Seasoned to perfection and the rice and peas were moist but not mushy. And the PORTION SIZE is crrrazy……they give you more than enough food for 2 people. The lady put oxtail gravy on my rice and peas and it was so good wanted to buy an oxtail plate too. All in all. Great experience and yes they are very friendly and non judge mental. I’m part of the lgbtq+ community and they didn’t make me feel awkward or weird. 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND👍🏾👍🏾“

“Food is always fresh and hot! I’m always excited when they come to Boynton Beach!!“

“Curry goat gets top billing and it certainly is justified. But they also have goat soup of in a corner It was delicious! I never had goat soup before and it did not disappoint.
The customer service is warm and friendly. I felt welcome.“

“Great 👍 place awesome 👏 food friendly people & most of all very nice smell inside of restaurant 😍🥰😇🙏🏾👌“

“I accidentally ran into Marc, the owner. I really wanted Tassot Dinde. They initially didn't have it. I heard this was the best Haitian restaurant in all of South Florida. I was visiting from out of town and was a bit down about it. As I ordered another item, ate, and got prepared to leave, he gave me a fresh plate of fried turkey. That said a lot. The food was delicious. Highly recommended.“

“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!“

“This place is great! Atmosphere is chill and cool ,the staff is also really friendly. They know what they’re doing and what they’re talking about, and you can tell making the customers happy is their main priority. Food is pretty good, some real Jamaican classics and they put their own little twists on things .for their prices it’s 100% worth it.... Big up Chef Rose & the Crew ????“

“Great Service and Great Food. What more can you ask for!“

“I Don't know where these reviewers went but I'm sure its not the same Tabanka i have been going to. I have had nothing but exceptional service whenever I'm there, and believe me I have been there since they opened. Even family visiting from Trinidad the first place we visit is there. And we go back time and time again. So Kudos to the staff and especially the owner who always so professional and pleasant. Excellent atmosphere. great food. good service.. 10 stars..“

“I ordered two dinners and although the meat was fresh, it was tasteless for a Haitian restaurant. The portion was minimized for the price. Also to add, the sauce and pikliz was disgusting. I never had food that was tasteless as such.“

“Was told by a family member about Jardin Kitchen. You can tell that Eric cooks with his heart and soul! The flavors are like no other. This is the best Haitian food I’ve ever had and it’s all I’ll eat when in the area!! My complements to the chef!!“

“Totally enjoyed the food, service, and ambiance at MOV. Great venue for celebrations of any kind.“

The service is fast and friendly .Ingrid was a great service she was so attentive and friendly. The drinks here are flavorful and strong ! Thank you for the experience Ingrid and polo !“

“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.“

“I loved everything about this location. The drive thru is the biggest seller for me.
Patties to me are considered fast food so the drive thru is a no brainer. I wish they all had a drive thru.
Employees are friendly and the patties are yummy 😝“

“Food is very good and well prepare, delicious yummy go check it out you won't be disappointed.“

“Jerk Chicken and Fried Rice for $5 Advertised. Spent $17+ on two orders🧐? Awesome chicken though 😋“

“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.“

“meat patties are the bomb1“

“Our first time trying and the food was excellent! Full of flavor, oxtail tender and everything seasoned well! Our new Caribbean spot to eat!“

“Great food, flavors and big portions. Get the small size. And finally a nearby place to get real, fresh beef patties. Wish they have more tables for seating“

“The Bouillon was good. I would like two pieces of meat. I got 1 big piece of beef. It was well seasoned and just the right amount of spicy. I also got the spaghetti. Wasn't the best I've had. It was on the dry side. And didn't have any peppers or onion. I would go back to try something else.
The service was good. The older lady was very nice and the young girl speaks softly but she is also pleasant.
Tip. The hours on Google are not accurate. Saturday, they were open at 9:30-10AM. This is around the time I went.“

“Tasty food and Ms Joy is very Friendly and greet her customers like family ❤️ she is always giving back to the community by sending food for people in need that cannot come to her restaurant like they used to because of their illnesses 🙏 god bless 🥰“

“Went at a time, around 1PM on a Saturday. The line was not long so was served quickly. It took less than 5 minutes from the time I placed my order until it was delivered to me. The servers were courteous and served with a smile. The only draw back that day, I tried ordering on line, but the website was down.“

“I ordered for the first time tonight on Ubereats and when I tell you out of all the years I’ve lived here in Fort Lauderdale this is the BEST Jamaican food I’ve ever tasted in my life and everything was fresh and the seasoning is to perfection..I will go to no other Jamaican restaurant ever again..food is amazing 😋😋😋🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“This is a great Family oriented restaurant.
Serving a trio of cultural food. Hence there slogan
The HAJ Kitchen
- Haitian Food
-American Favorites
-Jamaican Spices
Their Haitian Empanadas called Pâté Kòdé is out of this world
And their Natural Juices “ Soursop Juice” is the best.“

“I went there for the first time today to grab Sunday dinner after a busy weekend. I was greeted with a complimentary cup of lemonade which hit the spot and got a refill while I waited for my food. The food was fresh, large portions, ridiculously tasty and I cannot wait to return. Run dont walk to Lickie Stickie!! You will not regret it!“

“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.“

“The food was very fresh and nice here. It actually tastes like true, authentic jamaican cuisine. I actually felt like I was in jamaica as well with the way how he set up the area. I will definitely be back for more food!“

“I went to this restaurant based on the reviews. The first impression was that the meat lace was clean. The people were friendly. I wasn’t sure about some of the options and the offered a free taste. I went last minute after coming from a wake and wanted to feed a good amount of people. The food was excellent. Everyone wanted to know where the food came from. Finger licking good.“

“Delicious food so thank you!“

“Found this spot on google. We came in with a large party at night right before closing. The staff were very pleasant. Food was amazing!! Ate every bit of it., We ordered just about everything on the menu. And boy … did they deliver!! You get a good amount of food. It came out hot and fresh. The price is very reasonable! I almost forgot the fresh squeezed juice was superb!! I love an authentic mama and papa joint!! I would definitely recommend this place!!“

“We evacuated to Ft Lauderdale from Port Charlotte during hurricane Ian and stumbled upon this wonderful Sandbar Grill while in town. Service was so amazing the first night that we had to go back. Overall, the staff and the food and the drinks were amazing!!! Everyone was so friendly and it totally helped us keep our minds calm knowing that a hurricane was hitting our home town. Thank you for your congeniality!!!“

“I had a wonderful experience at Golden Crust! The food was fresh, flavorful, and served quickly. What really made my visit stand out was Shana's exceptional customer service. She was welcoming, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Her friendly attitude and professionalism made the experience even more enjoyable. I'll definitely be coming back and highly recommend Golden Crust to anyone looking for great food and outstanding service. Thank you, Shana, for making my visit so memorable!“
