The Best Haitian food. The food is fresh. The portions are generous for the price. My family has been getting food from here for years and we will continue as long as its door are open. This is authentic Haitian Cuisine. Thank you!!!!

The food without a doubt is so good! Amely is very nice! She in the start of the new year, gave all her customers free soup jewmu! The only downside is I have to go the the ATM because they don't take plastic, but all in all this place is the best

Keep in Mind this is a Small (TAKE OUT) restaurant, of course you're welcome to eat there as they have a few tables. but its mainly take out. the food is always amazing, and the Owner Amely is there most days cooking the food herself. that Fritay

The food great. The lady I spoke to was very polite, I don't speak creole but the lady took time to listen to what I wanted, and had no problem with me adjusting my order when I got there. It's not as busy on Sunday evenings. So it was a great time to order.The food isn't expensive. For 12, it was enough food for two days.

The place is great, it's a take out restaurant. The people in there are friendly and great service. They give great portions and fast service. Bring cash the credit card machine is down, and there's a 2 dollars charge when using card. I'm a regular customer so this is an honest answer.
