“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👍🏾👍🏾“

“I was searching for some nice Jamaican breakfast, and when I called this golden Krust, Romaine answered the phone and she was so extremely pleasant and friendly. I wanted some fried dumplings and they only had 2 left! She said she would hold them if I got there shortly and lo and behold, she held her word! I took the drive through and spoke with a pleasant young man, Julian, who greeted me like I was back home. He was very informative and got me my food in record time! You would have thought his last name was Bolt! All in all, this Golden Krust will not disappoint. From fresh food to wholesome staff, nothing compares!

“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!!“

“From the moment we walked in, the experience at this restaurant was amazing. The owner, Mily, greeted us with a big smile and made us feel so welcome. She was incredibly hospitable—she even offered my mom a small taste of the legume before ordering, just to make sure she liked it. That level of care and kindness really stood out. Mily also walked us through the ordering process, explaining each dish and helping us feel comfortable with our choices.

I ordered the legume white rice sauce pwa plate and the tassot with diri jon jon, and let me tell you—it was phenomenal. The flavors were amazing , and everything was cooked to perfection. The restaurant’s playlist set the perfect mood, good music and playing at just the right volume not loud. Plus, the restaurant
was spotless—tables floors, were clean.

You can tell Mily truly cares about her customers and takes pride in every dish she serves. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the service was personal, and the food was absolutely delicious. We’ll definitely be coming back! If you’re in the area please come check her out!“

“My experience at kakalou was absolutely amazing . The food here brought me back home . It’s so flavorful and the meat is tender . 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.“

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

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

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

“Best Virgin Islands Restaurant in Ft. Lauderdale“

“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“

“Great value clean good tasting food“

“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“

“Delicious and very clean place“

“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 🥰“

“We were there September 19 & 20! We discovered this cool beach cafe and absolutely loved this place! Cool bartenders and an awesome atmosphere! The food and drinks were fantastic and just loved this place! When we visit Fort Lauderdale again, we will definitely come back!!!!!!“

“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.“

“And the Blessings continue!!! 1000000000000% RECOMMEND this place. I walked in 5 mins before closing (drove in from Ocala, FL) ordered 1 double.. forgot cc in car, told them give me 10 secs...They blessed me with a FREE double!!! Thank u! ❤️🙏🏾✌🏽👊🏾🤲🏽One L❤️VE!!! 🇹🇹“

“This is the best Pattie spot here in South Florida. The staff is super friendly and fast. This establishment is super cute because they have a drive thru that takes you thru memory lane. But the patties are always fresh and delicious. We are hooked on them and find ourselves coming back for more.“

“I have been eating at this restaurant with two pregnancy i love the foods those my dad my kids and husband“

“My family and I love trying new flavors from different places, so we decided to try this little place called: which is located on W. Commercial Blvd. and 441st Street in a large shopping plaza. The place is small, simple, but with an incredible flavor, WOW! We ordered a Brown Stew Chicken which had an incredible flavor, and you can't help but admire the prices😳 They don't even exist in a Chinese restaurant, no wonder there are lines of people buying their food at this place; that's why my husband and I have come to the conclusion: it's useless if the place has spectacular or extraordinary decor, if what will convince you is the flavor of their dishes. We will definitely return! Ahhh, not to mention that the service is very pleasant, the prices incredible, and the food sufficient and delicious. Why aren't these places as well-known? For their humble decor? Don't be fooled by the decor of the establishment or the dishes, focus on the flavor, which is what really counts.“

“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.“

“The atmosphere takes me back home. The service is impeccable and the food is superb. When you go there, they know who you are and that makes a difference. I have to say it is the best authentic Jamaican food in Broward County and I venture to say South Florida.“

“Oxtail!!!“

“These guys were so awesome. Jean, chen, Lorenzo, and the other young Guy showed great customer service. I could tell the food was going to be good by how long the line was and it did not disappoint. I had the j*** chicken rice and peas with plantains. Definitely will be back for the wings!“

“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!“

“This restaurant is a hidden gem! The food is incredible — perfectly seasoned, cooked to perfection, and bursting with authentic Haitian flavor. The snapper was huge, meaty, and seasoned in every nook and cranny. The griot? Fried to crispy perfection with just the right amount of tenderness — not too fatty at all. And the rice? Aromatic, rich, and full of flavor. Every bite felt like a celebration.

The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, with a great selection of music that added to the overall vibe. Whether you're grabbing takeout or sitting down for a full lunch or dinner, this place delivers. The service was top-notch — friendly, attentive, and fast.

Highly recommend this spot for anyone craving real Haitian food made with love and care. 10/10 experience — I’ll definitely be back!“

“If you’re looking for great vibes, amazing food, and a place that truly knows how to bring people together—this is it. 🎤✨“
