“The food here is sooo good. Me and my friend were recommended to come here and get something for our Halloween movie watch party. So we said why not? We were not disappointed in the slightest bit. You can smell the food down the street and the atmosphere when you walk in is 10/10. The staff inside are so nice. The portion are hefty and plentiful. The food was so delicious. I got their shrimp, fish and wings plate with fried okra, potato salad and sweet potato fries. My friend got the catfish, wings and fries plate with collard greens, candied yams and fried sweet plantains. We also decided to get their peach cobbler wings. Worth every penny.”

“let me tell you if you’re looking for a dessert that will honestly make you cry. You have to come and pick up a cake ASAP from Momma. I took one bite out of my s’mores cake. I have no words it is absolutely delicious And it was made with so much love you could tell. Definitely will be coming back here. More so I need one of these cakes as my graduation cake in May. If you get out of work, you need a quick dessert or even during lunchtime you have a sweet tooth. Stop by pick up a cake. You will not regret it.”

“This is more of a takeout spot. There are a few chairs where you can sit but it’s a pretty small venue. The wait time was long and they were busy but the food was AMAZING! So flavorful and truly authentic Haitian cuisine. They have variety in the menu and tons of items to choose from with photos so you can see what it looks like before you order.”

I love this place and the way to Fish tales.”

“Had a last minute order they honored it and had it ready when I arrived. It was my 1st time going and the staff were very pleasant. They just got a new customer”

“This place is a gem!! a must eat!! We found it through Uber Eats and ordered 1x. It was so good. The portions were amazing. Portions are like something grandma would serve her hungry kids. We visited and now I frequent it almost daily! Homefries platter is not for the faint of heart. You've got to have a hearty appetite or share it out. Grits platter...well...something of a southern treasure! Beef bacon egg and cheese sandwich is always a perfect on the run, goodie! We tried the shrimp over rice and that was nice. Chicken over rice was even better as it had a slight kick to it. And again, no matter what you order, bring a healthy appetite cause you're gonna need it and a long nap, after! These guys are amazing!! Truly! They're sweet! They're efficient! They can throw down on that gril!! Yummmmm Oh...and if you've never had it, their lemon ginger drink is amazeballs!! This place really is a gem in the middle of a jungle 😆 Visit them and be kind! Far too many ppl are not kind or feel entitled to speak to them ill mannered. Please don't! These guys really are good people and their food speaks for itself. Thank you gentlemen for always providing the best!!”

“My first time here for an Anniversary party and I had a GREAT TIME. EVERYTHING was great and the DJ had me dancing all night. A definite return. Great place for singles or couples.”

“Great food! HUGE portions!!”

“Been here a few times. Maybe the people too lazy to come inside a restaurant to eat need to stop complaining about their orders. If you want something quick go to a fast food. If you want quality then you need to learn some patience. When ordering inside the restaurant Mr. Benson really takes his time. He even had brought our fresh cut watermelon while we waited. His food portions are huge. You get great service when you sit to eat! Food is tasty and cannot complain.

“Best Roti ever stewed fish and curry chicken hands down get the sorrel too”

“Great chicken. Would highly recommend putting the sides in separate containers, as combining everything in one, cheap styrofoam container causes the sides and sauces to spill onto each other. Quite annoying.”

“Very great food worth the wait. And will come again..”

“I have purchased my Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner from here the food is on point! Freshly baked bread, bake, cakes and many other caribbean pastries!

Kid-friendliness: My kids walk in there alone and they too are treated with respect.

Wheelchair accessibility: The doors are wide enough for a wheelchair to fit through the entrance.”

“Don't believe the bad reviews here. The food is great. I had the chicken. Got 4 drumsticks with yellow rice and beans. Amazing. Just don't order empanadas they don't know how to makes those. Other then that food is amazing. Me and my girl went there and now I went today again for lunch at work 5 of us all ordered stuff and everyone at work said it was the best. The chicken falls right off the bone and the rice is cooked perfectly. Highly recommend this place”

“The atmosphere was good. The people working there are very nice people and the portion of food for what you pay for is good 👍🏾 ohh and its alll TASTY too!😊”

“The best Guyanese restaurant in Jersey. Hands down. Chow mein, chicken and goat curry, dhal puri and jerk chicken. 100% on point. Truly taste of Guyana. Owners are super nice. They take credit card as well”

“They make real jerk chicken! ON THE GRILL! Tasted it with one meal and I bought more to take home so my family know it’s the real deal… definitely coming back and often 😇 additionally! They have 2 very friendly cashiers/servers which is usually hard to find. Met the owner and he also seems to be a nice guy… I don’t write reviews often unless I received bad service but today it is the opposite! People nice and food nicer! 🥰”

“Staff was very kind. Got the stewed chicken, chicken & cabbage, roti, spinach, bake, and cheese roll. All very delicious and you can tell they cook with love! Will be back.”

“The lady and her husband are extremely nice. I go here almost everyday. There's a board that shows the menu if you're new and she'll be sure to point you to the second board nearby (Grilled/fried food). There IS an ATM inside the store as they only accept cash. The food is extremely good too, thumbs up for them!”

“I have been going there for a minute. The workers there are very friendly, polite. I only buy their smoked herring bread and on a couple occasions, cake. When I buy the bread, it's always a bunch because I freeze them. Trust me. If you're crunching for time, make some eggs and put in the bread, you're good to go. I just realized last night they make food. I'm just mad they never give me a plate of food while I wait for my bread. They could always make it up to me next time by giving me a bòl diri.”

Vegetarian options: Have a choice of seafood dishes with vegetables, rice or noodles

I tried the pizza(crust is thin and crispy , saucy) , gyro(great gyro with generous amounts of sauce) , burger(big flat bun, thin burger is balanced out by delicious toppings) , and banana pudding . The food arrived early and it was on point ! If you are looking for some comfort food that brings back to your early 20s then this place is for you ! This is my new spot!!!”

“Ordered curry chicken very flavorful and good portion for ten bucks I will return Restaurants are getting killed their costs have doubled since covid”

“Definitely not the most eye pleasing place but the food is always top tier. I always come back for chicken wings and fries with that sweet ketchup (The honey sauce for a quarter is definitely worth it to). No matter what I order the food is always great and made to order. I always call ahead and love to hear when they say “5-10 minutes”. The food is almost always done in that timeframe and if it isn’t it’s probably another 5 minutes to the wait. I love this place.”

“It was a great experience, although the line was long
(Dinner time ). The manager was so gracious to me. Because I was there so long, he offered me a free drink to make it for me. I got home only to find out that my order was messed up. I called the restaurant, and a fine gentleman named Jadir answered. I explained to him that my order was messed up. He apologized for the inconvenience and offered to make it for me. I returned the next day, and my order was corrected this time. Thank you so much, Jadir and his staff. You are a wonderful manager, and you have great customer service. Keep up the good work. I will be back again soon”
