Delicious food, very friendly service. The Griot was perfect, crispy and super tasty.

Ordered the Fritay, listed at $20 on the menu, but was charged $28 instead. I guess there’s a hidden “surprise fee” no one tells you about. If the food had made up for it, maybe it would’ve been easier to swallow, but unfortunately the plantains were dry enough to make me question if they were cooked yesterday. If you enjoy paying extra, this might be the place for you.

Hot humid day today so I stopped in for something Carribean. I am a huge fan of Haitian food, grew up eating it, learning to make it, had lots in Haiti. Fried Chicken is my favorite with dirty rice. This place delivered. Amazing food and Cheap! Try their 10 dollar special. She's been making it for over 20 years and moved here from her Vanier location. I will be back for sure

This has got to be the least expensive, tastiest, most diverse, filling lunch in Ottawa. Three choices for the $10 special. I chose a big piece of fried chicken, a little dab of spicy Caribé slaw, a flattened fried plantain and tasty rice with scattered beans and a yummy sauce on the side. Plus a cold soft drink or for extra guava or breadfruit juice. Great deal. Lovely manager too.

Was in the Ottawa area and thought I'd give this place a try (found through a Google search for pate Haitien). The food was fantastic. We had the griot platter, and everything was perfect. The service was friendly and wonderful. We ate in, and my son also got a take out meal for the long drive home. The portions were plentiful. Everything was seasoned to perfection. The Lalo is a must try. The pikliz 5 star. Pate was perfectly flaky, the filling top tier. We're already thinking about how to fit in another 5 hour drive (each way) into our summer plans. Overall experience was stellar. Will visit again.

Their 10$ lunch special is awesome and the dessert was incredible! 👌
The restaurant itself has quite the unique and strangely funky smell inside, which some people may dislike.
The price was incredibly reasonable, for 10$ you get: rice, plantain and your choice of meat; fried chicken, marinated pork, vegetarian or meatballs.
It’s so SO GOOOOOD. Best lunch meal deals out there, $10+tax for rice, chicken or pork + soda can of ur choice.
I prefer the chicken over the pork. Definitely recommend trying this. Love the sauce

Food was dry, unseasoned, and the salad was old. I ordered a griot/pork combo and a turkey combo, instead I got an mix of both. The rice was unseasoned same as for the meats, without the gravy the food is plain, the pikliz weren’t even done right, no falvour at all could’ve made the same thing at home🤦🏾♂️. The lettuce looks old, best thing about the the meal was the macaroni salad and it wasn’t even that good, overall i would rate the meal a 4/10 (Being generous)

My fiancée is half Haitian and few years ago he asked for authentic Haitian food for his bday, so I surprised him with Creole sensations and he loved it! Since then we have ordered from them multiple times because the service is always amazing and the food is so delicious and always fresh. Our go to order is the dozen accra (always crispy and has just the right kick of spice), the marinated pork combo plate (comes with pork, rice, macaroni salad, pikliz, plantain and gravy), and we get an extra mac salad on the side (it’s creamy and crunchy). Couldn’t recommend them enough if you’re looking for authentic Caribbean food! The owner is the sweetest lady and every single time we order from here has always been delicious!!
I have eaten at many Haitian restaurants in Ottawa, and Creole Sensations has the best food! Everything is delicious, but the djondjon rice and cabrit are exceptional.
