Nothing good to say about these people. They are so rude. Unbelievable.
We had an hour and a half bus ridee coming to this tiny restaurant all the way to Hempstead from Flushing. I have tried their food from a Haitian friend and I said I have to buy it myself to see the real restaurant. First is you have to call them first because it takes them 30 minutes to 1 hour to prepare your food. Secondly, there are no chairs and tables inside the restaurant. Food wise, I will rate them with 5 stars. Goat and Turkey meat were so full of flavors, tender and comes with rice and beans, with spicy pickliz and savory gravy. It brings out a very tasty combination even the shallots brings another twist to the enjoyable food experience. It may be far, but I will definitely come back. I hope they deliver soon in my area. ?

The food is very delicious
FOOD IS GOOD BUT THEY Take forever, talking all day long horrible customer service ON THE PHONE !!
The food is phenomenal. I received great customer service. I would absolutely recommend Taste the Island Bakery and Restaurant for take-out. Where they are located is not in the best location. However the service i received was impeccable.

Gave away my food because I “took too long to come”. Ordered 40 minutes prior to arriving. If you don’t order in advance, you wait 30 minutes to 1 hour for food, which is ok for me. But not when I drive from a far to pick up my food and arrive to no food. What’s the point of confirming an order. They could call, the person who ordered, if concerned. But I guess not. What good is good food with poor customer service. When the company forgets about the consumer.

Hands down one of the best Haitian food places in Long Island. Worth the wait and every penny. The patties are fresh and taste so good. The fried plantains are fried perfectly and the pork is seasoned and also fried to perfection. They're on the pricier side but you definitely get what you pay for. It's for sure recommended and will continue seeing me as a customer.

The absolute best Haitian food on the island. Food is good, the price is good, the service is good, there is nothing bad that I can say about this place. I typically call and order ahead and never have any issues. I like my griot fried hard (sék for my zoes), and it's always as is. The rice is yummy and flavorful, and to my suprise, my picky haitian mom approves! I love spice, so I do wish the pikliz came in bigger cups, but that's about it. They make fresh patties daily and they have an assortment of Haitian drinks, especially my absolute favorite Cola Lacaye (sorry y'all Couronne just isn't it for me, but they do have it) Ragaman, they have an assortment of Cremas and they even have Ak100. I'll always come here when I have a taste for food from home.
