This is a takeout restaurant, but you can sit inside if necessary. I ordered the Poisson Frit, Peas & Rice, Plantain and was very happy with the food & service. The food was ready in good time and well made. The Poisson Frites was crispy, well seasoned, and fresh - cooked perfect. The rice and plantain were delicious and not too oily. The service was pleasant and they give you a nice portion for the price. Would recommend and will be eating here again.

A variety of Haitian dishes. The food aroma brought us in. The nice attendant, Clotide, was helpful in describing the options. All the dishes were delicious. They made some while we waited. We tried the lambí, griyo, diri djon djon, diri ak pwa, Mac & cheese. We’ll be back. Best Haitian food in LI we’ve been to.Parking: Ample parking.Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible.

BEST JERK CHICKEN EVER!!! I've been living in Huntington for 4 years and had no idea this place existed. Coming from Queens I've had a lot of good Caribbean food. I've also been to many of the islands (including Jamaica) and Akra makes the best jerk chicken I've ever had in my entire life! Not just that, but the oxtail is also amazing! The rice is amazing! The cabbage is amazing! I can't say enough. I've been back 3 times in the past 2 days. I might be addicted. The service is also very friendly. There's nothing better than good food made by good people. I would give 6 stars if I could! Bravo!!!

My husband happened to see a van with the logo for Akra Haitian Deli when we were driving in Queens and we saw they are located in Huntington area. We are looking to live out east and decided to take the drive to see how the Haitian food was! Honestly, we have tons of Caribbean food in Queens/New Hyde Park area, but Akra was well worth the drive!We ordered the Jerk Chicken with Duriz Djon Djon- 10/10 recommend. The jerk chicken wasn't too spicy, it was juicy and flavorful. They also gave three big pieces! The rice was also well cooked and not too salty.We also ordered Griot with Bannan peze- it's a requirement if you're going to eat at any Haitian establishment. The woman dishing out food out said "this meat is a little dry. Sorry." We ordered it anyway and it turned out to be pretty good! The bannan was a little soggy, but really that's part of ordering takeout for certain food items. Lastly, we bought two bottles of their lemonade and it was delicious! A great balance of sweet and tangy!We would definitely come back!
Authentic Caribbean food not just hatian. Great customer service

A hidden spot in Huntington by all the houses. It's like a buffet style and you can purchase by portion. We tried the Jerk Chicken and the Goat with Okra. It was pretty good. Good amount of portion. However the selections were pretty limited, they didn't have a lot of the food that was advertised or says on grubhub. So best to order in person to see what's available.

Truly a seriously hidden gem in Huntington Station. Akra is shining because of the food. I grew up Haitian food and it's hard to find a place that make decent food that tastes like home. No one hold a flame to my late grandma but here at Akra you get food that makes you feel like you eating at your aunties home. The woman helping me was so friendly with everyone that came in , something you don't see in Caribbean restaurants. I would have loved a little more griot on the plate but that tells you how much I love it. Definitely will stop in next time I'm in the area.
