Why is every time you walk in a Haitian’s or should I say Caribbean own businesses its like you’re walking in a freaking jungle?When you running a business you should be able to handle critics??if a customer comes to your place and made a remark on their last time order from days ago it shouldn’t be a problem just take the critic and make it better this time but there’s no need to pull a whole freaking attitude??if the customer comes back it clearly says they had no complaints on the food?cause if the food wasn’t good they wouldn’t come back??but I guess being rude and disrespectful is in Haitian’s DNA??the same like you’d treat people back In your country??but the funny thing you be the first one complaining that Haitians don’t support Haitian businesses??how do you want to get support when you have nasty attitude all over the place?so don’t blame us for not supporting you blame your service

The food was cold. The dipping sauce for the fried chicken had no flavor. It tasted like tomato sauce. Manager was extremely rude when asked about getting a new drink as it was too sweet. Would not recommend.

I love the food from this place. Portions are huge and everything still arrives nice and hot when you order delivery. The food tastes so fresh and I like that the stuff are so nice about substitutions for my plate and you can’t find that at all in other places. Best Haitian food ?

I didn’t even eat anything in there they are rude literally and not welcoming at all . Hence to probably as to why they had no customers inside . The vibes wasn’t there so I left .

I was in Malden for a dentist appointment and realized lunch time was quickly approaching.I had been craving Hatian food for some time and figured I would look up on Yelp if any Hatian restaurants that offered take out were in the area. Upon review, I found one that was just under 5 minutes from where I was. I called and placed a to go order for 2 plates. One plate was chicken, white rice and a black bean sauce and the second plate was rice and beans with pork. All plates come with salad and fried green plantains. I was greeted when I walked in and noticed a few people dining in. They have a full bar and music was playing while I waited for my food to be completed. The service was good and quick. The only reason I took away a star was due to the size of the plates, they were small compared to the take out plates I usually get where the rice is plentiful and more meat is typically added. The food was good and would recommend!

Best Hatian/Caribbean food around. The staff is so kind and greet you with a smile. Great music, great drinks and the patties are ???! Everything I've eaten from this place is phenomenal and I go at least once a month! Well done!

The workers here are amazingly nice and explained everything so well. Such good Haitian food!! I got the diri kole with fried Turkey and it was delicious. The meat was fried to perfection, and tender and flavorful. The perfect bite was the plantain, Turkey pikliz and a little of the tomato sauce.
