“The best! This place is a staple in Elizabeth. At Two Brothers, you get the real American breakfast experience. What a wonderful feeling to walk back to my little breakfast joint and to enjoy this guys’s cooking. Thank you for the love you put into this. I love your business!“

“Great food! Waiting to visit Jules again. Miss it already.“

“Two Brothers Bakery/restaurant in Elizabeth, NJ was a delightful surprise. I went in for a some patties and ended up leaving with a bag full of goodies! The lady at the counter was incredibly friendly and helpful, which is a refreshing change from some Haitian restaurants I've been to.

The patties tho! These were some of the best I've had – perfectly fluffy, full with flavor, and absolutely delicious. Reminds me of the patties from the late 90s in Haiti. If you're a fan of savory pastries, Two Brothers Bakery is a must-visit.

Overall, the experience was so positive that I'll definitely be back next time I'm in North Jersey. Two Brothers Bakery is a hidden gem that deserves all the praise!“

“During this crazy quarantine I got tired of cooking and decided to support a local family owned business. I do not regret that decision! We had Rabo (oxtail), sopa de mondongo( tripe soup), bistec encebollado (steak n onions) along with a few appetizers. Everything was delicious! Not one thing tasted bland ( the beans are amazing!) The food is very savory (and being Hispanic I am very judgemental with my food). The service was also great. I will definitely be ordering again and I recommend you do too!“

“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!“

“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“

“These women were very lovely and compassionate.
I had excellent food even though I didn't go on the ideal day for what I went for. Food is really inexpensive, especially considering what I purchased. The food was fresh and delicious.

The way they create the patties was the only thing I didn't enjoy. It had too much salt. The fish needs to be soaked in a little lime juice for a longer period of time.“

“I had a wonderful dining experience at this restaurant. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a clean and comfortable setting that made it easy to relax. The chef were friendly, attentive, and made sure I felt welcome from the moment I walked in. The food was delicious, highly recommended“

“From the moment you walk in the door you feel like a priority.

Walking into Machou Tropical Restaurant in East Orange, NJ, you immediately feel like you’re a priority. We chose this charming, family‑run restaurant to celebrate our daughter’s Grade 8 graduation, and it turned out to be an unforgettable experience. The owner’s hospitality sets the tone gracious, attentive, and genuinely welcoming.

The food was extraordinary. It was, without exaggeration, the best Haitian cuisine we’ve ever enjoyed. We’ve already shared our experience with friends and family, and despite living seven hours away, we would gladly make the drive again.

The owner and his wonderful staff treated us like VIPs from the moment we arrived. The intimate size of the restaurant made our celebration feel almost private. Every plate was a standout from the unforgettable Tom Tom with real lam veritable and the huge fried fish (honestly, it looked like a requin) to the meatless legume, riz djon djon, rice and peas, Steamed rice paired with traditional Haitian sauce pois, provisions, acra, and plantains. Everything was prepared with outstanding care and skill. My kids especially appreciated the vegetarian options and fresh juices.

Exceptional service, exquisite food, and a warm family atmosphere. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone, hosting a business dinner, or simply enjoying time with loved ones, Machou Tropical is a place worth visiting.

We will definitely be back.“
