UPDATE: all this food lasted me three meals--two lunches, a large dinner. Also gave some of the rice to my Haitian students at school and they confirmed that it was really good
Got take out. All this was $20 (I think that's a good amount of food for the price)
Griot, diri kole, bannann peze, side salad, sos ti malis and a little bit of pikliz.
Pork was pretty soft on the inside, nice outer texture. Could be a bit crispier but that's ok, it was still amazing. Love that they don't cut off the fat, nice and tender. Melts in your mouth
Pikliz is also great, love that they keep it spicy, none of that watered down mild spice for ppl who can't handle it.
Rice was als great, gave a good amount. Peas were soft, plenty of flavor. Epis they make you can tell is really good.
Bannan peze was fried fresh, nice big thick cuts. Pairs perfect with the pikliz. Sos ti malis also good and thick.
CALL ahead tho to check if they have everything. Seems like it's just one lady cooking in the back, but she's really nice.

Without a doubt, the best Caribbean restaurant in Boston/Somerville. The food is absolutely delicious, full of authentic flavor, and the service is excellent—everyone is friendly and attentive. Thank you for this restaurant existing. It is truly unique and different from all the others, and it makes you feel at home. Highly recommended!

AWESOME experience here!!
My boyfriend and I stumbled upon this place and I'm glad we did! It was our first time eating Haitian food so we were excited.
The woman tending to us was so sweet and explained to us our options and let us try samples. She genuinely wanted us to enjoy our meal and I felt that love from her.
We ended up splitting a dinner plate with chicken, salad, plantains, rice, and mac n cheese. Everything was clearly homemade and delicious. Portions were generous and we both left full. They even made fresh cheesecake and gave us some to try, literally they were so kind!
Really I only have good things to say about this place and I recommend you support their business because they were awesome and the food was of high quality!!

Decent prices. The place is small attached to a gas station. The staff are friendly. I don't like buffets. The food doesn't taste fresh.

I was nervous trying a new place but baby they didn't disappoint! Alot of haitian restaurants I go to have dry meat but sister's caribbean blew my mind. The fried beef was cooked to perfection crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside and the portions of plantains and rice and enormous. This is my new spot when im in Somerville.

This place has great food BUT they’re ALWAYS out of stock of their most popular dishes. When the food is available it’s delicious. They need to do a better job at keeping a full inventory of their actual menu. Customer service needs improvement. Even if you place an order ahead of time you will still be waiting upon arrival.
I recently just started working in the area, and wanted some good Caribbean food. Annnnd baby once i stepped into this place you can smell the wholesome goodness of the food cooking. I met the owners who are a husband and wife duo. They are super friendly, and very welcoming. The portions are very generous, and very yummy. I ordered a large rice and beans and goat which was very tender.

We ordered the goat with plantains, and it was pretty tasty! There was a salad, but it was plain and they did not provide any dressing.
The low rating comes from their inconsistent pricing. Their menu was not available in the restaurant due to electricity issues (which is fine), but we were told to look online at the menu instead. We looked on google (here on maps) and it showed the price for around $22. When I went to pay, it came up as $28. We asked about this, and they said that we should have checked the grub hub (or other food delivery) menus since they’re up to date.
It’s okay to make mistakes! but I found it inconsiderate, that they made us pay for their mistake of either 1. not confirming the price before making the food; or 2. not amending it after we brought the discrepancy to their attention.
I also want to recognize that it looks like they have fixed the price on google now.
The gentleman at the front was nice, but the way they handled this situation was not the greatest. Either way, we didn’t make a big fuss out of it since it looks like a family-owned restaurant.

First of all, the restaurant was dirty and the ladies had the worst attitude ever. The food was the worst ever. I had the legume it was not freshly made. I had to go to the hospital for stomachache. After speaking with a few people. I heard that how they are. These people messed up my vacation. Please do not eat over there.
Great Haitian Food.
