I ordered lalo, white rice, bean sauce and legume, white rice with bean sauce. The food was a 10/10. Th fried plantains were soft and crispy with lots of flavor. The Haitian patties (beef and herring-fish) were amazing as well. My only recommendation is to buy large not a medium platter because they give more meat. I bought the medium platter so I didn't get so much meat.
The bottled soursap fruit juices that are found in the cooler to the right are amazing. I wish they sold gallons of these drinks. My husband and I would definitely buy some weekly for the house. Best Haitian food in Georgia so far. The food is always fresh and yes there are always people purchasing throughout the day. A key sign that the food is amazing. My husband drove from Tennessee and he is Nigerian craving the food and the drinks. This restaurant has represented the Haitian culture with great culinary excellence. I hope there are plans for expansion in the future.

I love this place, I have ordered from here on door dash. I decided to drive there, about 20 minutes from home. Very good energy and smelled like heaven. The food was so good, I hid in my room to eat it. Also I never left my leftovers in the kitchen like I always do. Chefs kiss….

Food was very good I went to this location because the good reviews and they didn’t disappoint. I was going to go to another hatian before I went here bc it was on TikTok but the reviews were all bad. Then I came here and I loved it.

How am I ordering legume and receive not one piece of meat in here? This isn’t the first time this happened. Do better guys.
I have had amazing Haitian food in Boston, and had some in Florida and New York. This spot hands down is one of the BEST Haitian food spots I'd ever been too.
The pattie is 🔥🔥
The beef patties in particular.
They make them differently than anywhere I've had it.
The staff are very friendly and accommodating.
Give this spot a try, you will NOT be disappointed!!

On a weekend visit to Georgia, a friend took me to La Citadelle Bakery to order some authentic Haitian Pates. On Friday, I ordered 2 dozen Chicken to share with the host family, and with just one bite, my “gustatory bud” was hit with a highly seasoned, full of taste, and well-spiced elation and fell in food lust. I devoured a few filled with ample moist and juicy fillings of beef, chicken, and morue that was infused with a blend of aromatic and flavorful seasonings. I shared some with several friends, and within minutes, they were consumed. On Saturday, I was back for two more dozen, and they were even more delicious, and my taste buds were captivated. Knowing I soon would be returning home, before I hopped on that flight, I ordered 6 baker’s dozen to haul back to Chi-Town and instructed the cashier that I had to find a way for me to order and send express to my home. Undeniably, the best pates in my 50+ years of experiencing the Haitian food culture (Sorry mama, but they slightly had an edge with their savory baked fluffy, flaky, crispy golden brown exterior crust that was buttery, light, and airy in texture). I also loved their hearty soup joumou, Rice and bean sauce, turkey, pikliz and fried plantains.
The staff (Rose) was friendly, attentive, accommodating, and efficient. She took my contact info to make the Fed-Ex delivery happen. Prices were moderate to slightly pricey, but considering the food is well prepared with authentic Haitian spices and provides a positive sensory experience, I don’t dare complain. Wish you had a restaurant in the Chicago area!

As a Haitian mother who is also a good cook. I went to this restaurant and ordered lalo white rice and bean sauce. I also ordered fried turkey with rice and beans. The food was not fresh. They served me food from the day before, beans sauce was missing and the turkey was also from the day before.
Please check the food before you go home. Customer service was not good either. They did mess the order up. I cook better than that.

Always worth the 45 minute drive from Atlanta. 1 of the only Haitian spots that serves good food near the Atlanta area. Good Haitian bread and of course good pate. Not to mention all the Haitian treats you might have grown to forget about.
Over priced!!! SMH for nothing! $66 dollars for 2 plate of food, that's crazy! The Food is a hit or miss!! The portion size doesn't match the price!
Mad stingy with the meat (pause) Ima have to take a trip to Miami or New York to enjoy Haitian food!!!
Service is good when the owner is there but when that young kid is there with the glasses it's the worst.
Great Haitian Bakery. Good selection of pastries and great food. I would recommend.
Has a truck driver OTR. Every time I am in the area, I always visited this restaurant; the atmosphere is amazing. I love the way they welcome their customers.
The food is even better there. I always satisfied.
You will find yourself visiting again.
Waiting too long for this flavorless food. I can't find a really good restaurant besides Encore formerly named Wibbys.
