The BEST griot hands down. Perfect exterior crisp with tender interior. Given that it’s takeout only, I would recommend that you consume the griot immediately if not inside then in your car, on the bus or whatever but don’t wait to take it home!
I was making a request, but the person helping me seem to be annoyed or frustrated, but then I switched to my subpar French, and it changed the whole vibe as he could see I was really interested in trying the authentic products and learning a bit more about them in frenchlish. Though a few times she did speak English. He spoke quite well. I can empathize as anyone who learns more than one language can relate sometimes we’re better at understanding than speaking or vice versa.
I’m not sure about the other dishes as this was my first visit. There is also a homemade Haitian drink, which is quite rich and similar to Jamaican Irish sea moss but much smoother (less gooey)
I hope the business prosperous and opens up a location in the city

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.

I was online for 20 minutes. Finally when I got to the register I ordered six patties as the were preparing it to put in the box a customer came within two seconds ask for patties the took two patties out of my box and asked me if I want something else. If I could of give them Zero stars I

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.
