Haitian Caribbean Cuisine - East Orange

I requested extra sauce with my large order of rice and beans because the small amount they provide is insufficient. Unfortunately, my order of rice arrived without any sauce. I was extremely upset as I prefer to have my rice moist rather than dry.

I ordered the Griot with rice and beans, and the Jute with white rice. The prices were very reasonable and the food was excellent.

I visited this restaurant based on my daughter's recommendation of their Mirliton dish, which she said contained beef. When I ordered, I requested fried plantains instead of rice on the side. Despite asking about the type of meat in the dish, the server answered in Creole, mentioning "cushon." I mistakenly assumed this meant beef, but soon realized it was not beef after tasting the dish. I ended up eating around the meat and focusing on the delicious fried plantains. Next time, I plan to call ahead and request a custom order to make sure it is pork-free, as the dish was so tasty that it would be worth paying extra for a personalized order. Even if I have to order a large quantity and freeze it, I will do whatever it takes to enjoy this dish without any pork.

As most HaitiaN/Carribean spots, the amount of rice will last you days. And like many other restaurants, it’s the serving of meat day needs to increase

Don 't bother. Just go to danie 's. The business seems to be on its last legs as the person who was at the counter didn 't come out for 15mins. When I shouted hello she said hold on
