“10/10! I wish I could give it more than 5 stars! Truly an amazing experience. From the food, to the staff, to the nightlife. My husband and I were there last night for an overdue date night and we both agreed that we made the PERFECT decision with going here! We will definitely be repeat customers!“

“My family and I were in town visiting. We stopped here to get some food before heading home. While the wait was long, the food was so worth it. Not only was the hostess so accommodating and friendly, but the portions were huge and delicious! Between the 6 plates, we ordered Chicken, fried turkey and the fried pork(griot) which were all cooked to perfection! 10/10 would highly recommend! We’ll absolutely be back whenever we’re in the area again.“

“The Jerk Lamb Chops will change your life if you are a fan of spicy food. They are tender, perfectly cooked and expertly seasoned. Admittedly, if you are not a fan of spicy food they're probably not your vibe but if you are they will make as happy as they made me.

Fete has always been a very fun place for me to visit. The music is always great and the drinks are tasty too!“

“Great place for date night.“

“i will definitely be visiting The D Coal Pot again very soon. The food is fresh taste great and really good. I was driving and came upon this restaurant i didn't plan on going to this restaurant but I said to self stop and get a few Patties and wouldn't you know they had no Patties. I left the restaurant with Corn Soup Peas & Rice Chicken Roti Beef Roti. I also got to try a dessert I've never had before I don’t know the name of it but had Guava Sweet Potato Coconut and other things to make this dessert which was really good so I ordered 2 to go. D Coal Pot is definitely a place you must visit and get a meal.“

“Sean makes great food. His local food selections are seasonal eating at its best!“

“I love Ali Roti since the 1980’s. Fresh food good flavor and family owned. Delicious food to top my cravings.“

“I am of Bajan decent. Today I experienced the goat and Coucou (sp?). It was so good that I found myself swaying and humming. I almost expected my Bajan grandmother to enter the room and join me. The food was so tasty, comforting and just spicy enough. I also had the opportunity to meet Chester, the owner and Chef. In speaking with him, it is clear to note that he is committed to his community. While recognizing some of the problems, he comes forward offering solutions! I wish the best to this establishment and its patient staff as I will return. Q.M. Zakiya“

“My favorite thing about Codman Square! The roti is delicious, all the cooks are so friendly, the music is great, Wu is everybody's favorite guy, service is fast, and the spice cake is in my top ten desserts ever. On top of all that, the veggie roti and doubles are vegan!“

“Their fooood is SMACKKKKK!
Let me tell you! I was driving by and it caught my eye. So I decided to turn back around and check it out! I was lucky to meet the owner , Jabreel (I think that’s how you spell it). He was out of rice that day so we just got jerk chicken and jerk wings with sweet plaintains and mango salad. He told us to make sure we comeback and let me tell you, MY MAN AN I WILL BE BACK! The food was so good I couldn’t believe it! Highly recommend service and food was 10/10.“

“this was so good and fast!“

“Came here for the oxtail, was not disappointed! I do wish it had more meat on it but it was so flavorful and well seasoned. Perfectly paired with rice and beans &pikliz & plantains. The food was so fresh and smelled delicious. The place was a little hard to find but just look at the numbers on the door. Parking wasn’t bad.“

“This was my six-year-old’s choice for his birthday dinner! We used to frequent the South End location and since that one closed, we got delivery from Brookline. He wanted to write a review. His review is ‘they are the best cookers in the world.’ He also wants to give the meal seven stars. The food was great as usual! My go-to is the pabellon criollo, delicious and filling! Will have to come by and dine in soon.“

“Very nice place and the owner is a fantastic person. Salute“

“I recently ordered the fried turkey plate it was really good. Im going back ill let yall know“

“Everything at Levi's was amazing. The bartenders were great during our event.“

“great food clean n friendly staff“

“The food is Delicious!!!!“

“Been going there for years food is always consistently great Staff is always friendly and happy to please“

“The thing that stands out about this place is the portion size of the food. As a pickup and take out place, don't expect a lounge like atmosphere, just take your food and go. You won't be disappointed about the food either, cause it's really nice ??.“

“The food here is always delicious. But we just went for drinks and to dance. This is a Dominican spot that converts to a club vibe on the weekends. I always enjoy myself at El Molinos. The DJ understood the assignment. It is an older crowd and the music was on point. There aren't enough spots that cater to Gen X. I was happy ?.“

“Food is AMAZING!! Salt and Pepper Shrimp, Kreole Chicken delicious 👩‍🍳❤️“

“Food is good..service can be better....

Today is June 14th 2025….. I went in for a large steak I didn’t realize it was close to closing. I asked if they had steak to which… yes , was the reply….

I got the plate and he said it wasn’t enough steak…. So the other choice was chicken… mind you they had oxtail ( I overheard on my way out) ….. they charged me for a large steak…. It want even a whole piece of steak just broken chunks and 3 pieces of chicken…. I been yall since Blue Hill Ave days….. I am beyond disappointed….. this is the second time yall skimped me. There will not be a 3rd!!!!“

“On the outskirts of Downtown Lynn here's a spot that serves tasty authentic Hatian food with good serving sizes. Chicken so good that it slides off the bone!
Pikliz was crunchy and a little spicy to add a kick of flavor. Dish served with generous amounts of sauce. Papaya juice was thickened with too much whipped cream, though. You can't go wrong with the bunun peze (pressed fried plaintains). The atmosphere could use some decoration, and better music choice could be switched to Haitian music to celebrate the culture with pride and set the right vibe. It's a small business/family owned restaurant, so I can overlook some issues and hope they improve over time with listening to the constructive feedback. Street parking is available, and the place is easy to find off the street. Service was friendly and the food was great, so a good experience overall. Merci!

Parking: Street parking available around the area“

“Expending quality time with the one!!“

“Lo mejor en Boston!! La experiencia es siempre especial e inolvidable!!“

“great food clean n friendly staff“

“I have only done take-out, but you can also eat here. The jerk chicken is good, and I have also enjoyed the oxtail and curry goat. The fish dishes are also tasty. Not as many vegetable sides as I would prefer, but still enjoyable as a treat every now and then.“

“great food clean n friendly staff“

“Cannot recommend the Right Taste highly enough. The jerk chicken, rice with beans, and if you are lucky plantains are outstanding. I always try to pay cash with a nice tip to support a local business and last time only had two twenties. Rather than break the second bill, the owner said don’t worry about it. This is my small way to pay it forward.“

“Went in to satisfy the kid’s ice cream craving. We were pleasantly surprised at all the flavor choices! Walked home after sharing a scoop of oreo and cookie dough (sort of sharing, the boy can be a bit stingy when the food is good...) and with a meal each: jerk chicken and stew beef. We each had a filling dinner last night AND lunch today. Thanks! Looking forward to trying ALL the ice cream flavors :)“

“Tiny, inexpensive ,no frills place with friendly young staff serving up classic Dominican tostados, toasted sandwiches. Takeout only, but they have plenty of outdoor seating. Sandwiches were delicious but a real surprise was the quality of the fruit smoothies! My mango and passion fruit smoothie was so rich and summery, not drenched in sugar at all.“

“🔥🔥Food is Fire, first time here and I will be back“

“My I go here often and get great service“

“great food clean n friendly staff“

“I was one of the first to eat from here when it opened five years ago in the former D'Angelo's location. They food is outstanding, the service is friendly and the space is VERY clean.That's where the compliments stop unfortunately.Despite everywhere else in the area having reopened their dining areas, this location is still Take Out only for unexplained reasons. The McDonald's across the street was one of the first to close their dining space due to the Pandemic and was also one of the last to reopen theirs but they DID reopen their dining area.We're now almost two full years after the Pandemic ended but their dining space remains closed. The only possible explaination I can think of at this point is they're keeping the dining areas closed so they don't have to bother cleaning those spaces several times a day. Either way, they should have a sign posted letting people know if the dining area is permanently closed or no at this point.That aside, the prices on the entrees have been gradually increasing. When they first opened five years ago, the Oxtail plate came in three size options (Small, Medium and Large). In the summer of 2019 they announced due to rising prices on oxtail meat, they were dropping their Small and Large options for the Oxtail and would sell the Medium at a higher price. It started at $18 and is now $22. I like their Oxtail but I'm not willing to pay THAT much for it. I'm better off buying the meat and cooking it myself in that case.It's sad that they've decided to pass those rising costs onto their customers, most of whom live in the neighborhood--myself included. Other options have also had price increases in recent years. The pandemic sucked for everyone but and people get you need to be profitable to stay in business and pay your employees but this is really pushing it.One myth/rumor I've heard for a while that I can personally confirm is NOT true is some think the food is cooked at another location and brought there. This is NOT true. All food is cooked on site in the kitchen in the back. The food is SAFE, Sanitary and good. They also take custom requests on all orders within reason. For example if you want to mix and match certain items in the same plate, you can. Just ask.“

“If you are passing through Boston. I 100% recommend this Haitian restaurant. The dishes are delicious. There is good fresh juice with a tropical flavor. The waiters and waitresses are very friendly. Don't hesitate to come see them.

Kid-friendliness: You can definitely be able to eat there with kids.“

“First time eating here after watching tooo many shows on Jamaican food. Everything was absolutely delicious. Jerk chicken - moist, fall apart with a fork and spiced perfectly. The heat is there and it stays for a bit but sooo good Beans and rice - was not expecting a coconut flavor to the rice, game changer for sure and dulls down some of the heat if you don’t like spicy chicken. Corn - roasted and flavorful. I will be coming back here again and again. If you’re in the area you owe it to your taste buds to stop in.“
