“Great food! HUGE portions!!“

“I had a wonderful experience ordering from this restaurant. The food was very delicious a the customer service was very top tier! Usually when you goto some restaurant the people working are very nasty! This staff embraced me as if I was their own family! Definitely will be coming here again“

“Their portion size is great. The food is good, and they have great customer service. The time that they tell you your food will be ready is true. Your food will actually ready when you arrive to pick it up. Best customer service I’ve gotten from a Haitian restaurant. Definitely recommend.“

“This place has been my to go spot when picking up patties for party’s, gatherings, etc. Their patties aren’t big and square like the typical Haitian patties; it’s more rectangular and portion controlled. My only thing is - is the pickup for phone orders. You can call and place an order but expect to wait a bit when you arrive. In my opinion it’s pointless to even call for the order but the patties are tasty so it’s worth it for me.“

“Tasty patties and good service. Everything is a fair price! Once we got there, the business name was different but we enjoyed it. There’s a selection of bread, sweet treats like tablet and homemade drinks- we got the limeade which was very good and refreshing with the patties“

“She’s very neat in all she Does❤️❤️❤️🙌🏿🙌🏿love the Delicious food“

“I ordered from Magela's for the very first time today, July 12, 2025, through Uber Eats. I ordered Legume w/rice and sos pwa, and also Griot with plantains. The food was delicious! I want to make a suggestion, the legume had a piece of crab in it (I have seafood allergies), perhaps make a note on Uber Eats, hence I should've done my due diligence and called to inquire, but most Haitian restaurants I order from have beef or no meat at all. I attempted to contact the restaurant, but the lady who answered, I guess, was not in the mood to understand my broken-down Creole, so the phone was placed down until I hung up around 6pmish and have been off the line until now, and it's 8:36pm. Overall, the food was delicious! (My friend ate the legume.)“

“Amazing amazing amazing the food was delicious the service was great and the Kremas reminded me of my family’s recipe! Definitely recommend them for the food is very traditional and you will love it!“

“The food was delicious! We had fried turkey and rice with pinto beans. The food had right amout salt and spicy. Food came out hot and fresh. The group wanted Haitian food once we landed from the airport. It was the 1st to come up during the search and close in distance. Plentiful amount to share and / or leaves for later. We ordered 10 plates for a group of 15ppl. Its more a takeout restaurant but has 4 or so tables for quick bite. Great food and service.“

“Je vous recommende d'aller visiter ce restaurant haïtien vous ne le regrettez pas...!“

“I'm not from NJ, but I accidentally drove 40 mns to this place because I was craving haitian food. All I can say is I was not disappointed!
It started with their customer service, because when I realized how far it was and wanted to cancel, they offered to drive it to me, which I declined but was nice of them nonetheless.
The food was fresh, super delicious and on the large order, they give you enough food to feed you twice. The macaroni salad was great, duri djondjon was awesome and the Tasso kabrit was excellent. If you're in Irvington or close by, this is one spot that I'd definitely recommend!“

“Selman restaurant nan Irvington ki gen bon manje ayisyen, manmi an pwop anpil, e lè li la li bay bon service. Selman pate yo ki kem pa renmen paske yo manke sòs men tout manje yo bon.The only best Haitian restaurant in Irvington, cause of the quality and cleanliness. The patties are not all that. When they owner is there service is spectacular.Keep in mind this was Sunday dinner“

“I think her food is consistently good. Do not let the overall appearance of the restaurant dispickles. or stop you from getting your take out. I just wish they would understand how important it is for a restaurant to look attractive to the potential customer. I especially love her fried turkey topped with her delicious picklys.“

“Edit: When I got home, I warmed the food up and ate it. After warming, the chicken WAS stewed, and was so flavorful.. Food was delicious!

I stopped here for my lunch while on route with my job. The customer service is good! The food was ok tho. I got a small stew chicken, and the chicken wasn’t really stewed. My was very cold, as if it has been in the fridge, but my rice and beans were fresh and hot. Wasn’t digging that. Also the chicken wasn’t as flavorful as I thought it was going to be. Wanted to give 5 stars because I support Black Business of all nations/ cultures, but serving me cold chicken is gets a bad review. Other than that, it was ok.“
