Update: This was my second time visiting this Haitian restaurant, and once again they did not disappoint! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The seasoning and authentic flavors really stood out, you can tell the food is prepared with care and love. The service was top-notch as usual; the staff was attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. Definitely one of my favorite spots, and I’ll keep coming back whenever I’m craving Haitian food!
Overall, this restaurant continues to impress me. It’s rare to find a place that delivers on both amazing food and excellent service every single time, but they do it effortlessly. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys authentic, delicious Haitian cuisine, whether it’s your first time trying it or you’re already a fan, this is the spot to go!
A Hidden Gem for Authentic Haitian Cuisine!
I had the absolute pleasure of dining at this incredible spot recently, and I can’t say enough good things about it. If you’re looking for authentic Haitian food packed with flavor and made with love, this is the place.
We ordered the oxtails with black rice and plantains, along with the stewed chicken, cabbage, and red beans and rice—and every single bite was amazing. The oxtails were perfectly tender and seasoned to perfection, and the black rice had such rich depth of flavor. The stewed chicken was equally delicious—juicy, well-spiced, and comforting, with the cabbage and beans rounding it out beautifully.
We also tried the beef and chicken patties—flaky, savory, and just the right amount of spice. And to top it all off, the passion fruit lemonade was the perfect refreshing finish. It was sweet, tangy, and so refreshing.
The food was fantastic, the service was warm, and the atmosphere was welcoming. This is the kind of place that makes you want to come back again and again. Highly recommend!
Side note: I wish we had taken pictures but we dug right in as soon as we received our order.

Hands down The best Haitian food in Charlotte!! Ive ate here twice and Service was excellent, food fresh and not a crazy long wait! They had a DJ on the Sunday I went but not crazy loud DJ. Still chill vibe inside! The employees clearly love their job and care about the food and service! 100/10 Will be back very soon!

Customer service was amazing!!! Food even better. I also got the soursop/ lemonade, super refreshing! The meat of the chicken and oxtail is very seasoned. Next time I’m in NC I would definitely come back here for food. Their patties are also made fresh in the restaurant.
