“I ordered a LARGE oxtail w rice & peas w extra gravy. They gave me a lot of meat and gravy. The oxtail pieces were small but plentiful. I did ask for mac & cheese but they didn’t have it that day. The customer service was OK. Watch my video review on TIK TOK: Safiya Lin“

“Me and my kids love the food it's just right. I love the fish...“

“Delicious and FRESH food. Very good Haitian place on my now three visits. It's a high-quality takeout restaurant and level of service depends on the person waiting on you. I have had okay service by some and great hospitality from others (the owner and Jemima, I believe is her name, have both given excellent personal service). Either way, the food makes up for it.I've had the pork griot, which is so delicious. Many places you get fried pork, you might be chewing for days; theirs is tender and flavorful. I just had the fritaille platter with the pork and everything included was fresh and delicious. I've also had the fish, chicken, and beef patties made with homemade puff pastry. They were all fresh and SO FLAKEY. Perfect puff pastry. They're also well-priced and a good value. Don't hesitate to try them, it's always busy for a reason!

“if you like good food this is the place to go. We had a little bit of everything. Highly recommend the cheese and meat board and the gnocchi is amazing. The winner of the night was the tuna and don't skip dessert. We will come back.“

“Had dinner there for the second time on Saturday night! It was very memorable. The food was absolutely fantastic. I had the eggplant with the Barata for an appetizer. It was so delicious and so tasty and my main course was the homemade linguine with lump crab and corn. We also got the meatball which was spectacular and then I got the cheesecake dessert which was one of the best cheesecakes I’ve ever eaten. I absolutely love love love this place. Can’t wait to go back and eat there again.“

“Our 40th Anniversary dinner was amazing last night! From the service to the food and meeting the chef after! What a wonderful restaurant especially for a special occasion! Thank you for an amazing night!“

“Second baptism brunch I've attended here. The staff and food the last time were incredible but the staff this time were above and beyond incredible!! The food was very good and the place was extremely clean! Only issue I had was they put salad on top of each meal after serving a salad to start the meal. Didn't make much sense to me. But I still highly recommend this place!!! Too bad I could only give 5 stars to the service as it deserves 10!!!“

“Great food and fun atmosphere!“

“I stumbled upon this hidden gem during a snowstorm, and what an incredible find it turned out to be! From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with warm hospitality, and despite the weather, the restaurant remained open—showing true dedication to its customers.

Jessie, our bartender, truly elevated the experience. His attentiveness and friendly demeanor made the evening even more enjoyable. The DJ set the perfect vibe, spinning old-school hip-hop that created an intimate yet lively atmosphere, even with a smaller crowd due to the storm. The fact that they stayed open and kept the energy high speaks volumes about their consistency and appreciation for their guests. A special touch was when they went out of their way to sing happy birthday to my boyfriend—such a thoughtful and memorable gesture!

Now, let’s talk about the food—absolutely phenomenal! The octopus appetizer was cooked to perfection, and the olives that accompanied it were hands down the best I’ve ever had. For my entrée, I had the harper steak, and I can confidently say it was one of the most flavorful steaks I’ve had in years. Every bite was a 10/10, and the pricing was more than reasonable for the quality of the meal.

I’m not from the area, but this experience left such an impression that I’ve already shared it on social media, and I’ll definitely be returning. A huge thank you to the team for making this such a memorable night—I can’t recommend this place enough!“

“We had our son’s first birthday party last night, and we chose Punjabi Dhaba for the catering. I can honestly say they exceeded our expectations.

The food was incredible. Every single item tasted fresh, authentic, and full of flavor. We had more than enough for everyone, and guests kept going back for seconds. So many people came up to us just to say how good the food was.

What really stood out was their service. They were organized, attentive, and made sure everything stayed stocked and running smoothly throughout the event. We had a good number of guests, and they handled it all without any issues. It gave us peace of mind so we could actually enjoy our son’s special day instead of worrying about the food.

If you’re looking for Punjabi catering that delivers both quality and professionalism, I would absolutely recommend them. They played a big part in making our event stress-free and memorable.“

“Dante’s has truly transformed the old Alexis Steakhouse space with a modern, refreshing facelift and a fantastic menu to match. It’s the perfect spot for happy hour, a night out with family or friends, or even a business lunch. One of the standout features is their exclusive upstairs party room, which accommodates 75+ guests—ideal for baby showers, bridal showers, or business meetings. The space includes a flat-screen TV for presentations or party highlights, plus its own private bathroom and bar. Convenience is another plus: Dante’s offers plenty of parking and is located near all major highways (Rt. 46, Rt. 3, Parkway, Turnpike, and Rt. 80). The cozy bar area is great for catching a game, and their intimate lounge space comfortably seats up to 10 people with private wait service—perfect for small gatherings. I’ve enjoyed Dante’s for everything from meeting friends and business lunches to happy hours and private lounge get-togethers. The food never disappoints: the prime burger is massive and made with quality prime rib, the tuna tartare is fresh and loaded with avocado, and their homemade chips are addictive. The clams casino are packed with flavor, the steak sandwich features premium cuts, and the pear salad with grilled chicken is a delicious option if you’re looking for something lighter. Check it out—you won’t be disappointed!“
