Today was my first but certainly not my last time dining in here. The property is well kept. As soon as you walk through the door the beautiful decor & ambience set the tone just right for me. The waitress was very attentive to my wants & needs as a customer. And to top it off I ordered, (2) beef pates, fried Whole Snapper with black rice & plantains. The food was absolutely delicious! Definitely worth paying this establishment another visit.

Best jerk chicken I’ve had in a while! The owners are so sweet too! They have a DJ on Saturday nights and everyone is a vibe, having a good time and you HAVE to get the beef pate! So good!

The vibe is immaculate, the owner is very nice, and this is the first time I had red snapper that didn’t need any extra sauce or seasoning! I’ll be coming back!

BEST HAITIAN FOOD IN MARIETTA! Food is amazing, I love the griot and the stew chicken. Can’t wait to try other dishes as well, also had the pleasure of meeting the owner whose mother is the chef! The authenticity, the vibes, the customer service and especially the food is on point. More people need to try Haitian food!!!!! Stop by and I promise you won’t regret it. It’s fire

This food is so good it reminds me of my mom’s cooking back home! We had the fried snapper and it was fresh and seasoned well! We also had the griot and it was amazing. The pikliz and rice was 10/10. Everything is just good! The owner is super kind and Janice was our server and she was great too! I wish I could take the chef home with me so I can eat like this everyday

I bumped into this restaurant trying to find another place!. The atmosphere made me go back immediately and everything was amazingly good!. I was waited at a timely manner. The waiters were so patient and answered all my questions. My food was fresh and the music just made it taste even better. For sure has a different taste!. For a first time trying Haitian food I’d give 10 stars if I could!

First time eating Haitian food. Incredible! Sat at the bar. Sampled the fried chicken, goat, shrimp tostones, and black rice. Everything was on point. The atmosphere was incredible, the customer service from the owner was genuine and kind. It feels like a community here, and I’ll be back. Peace and blessings.
