The first time i ever had Haitian food was in Cap-Haïtien many years ago. My first taste made me a life-long fan but finding good Haitian food in Massachusetts is at times challenging especially on the North Shore. I had a lunch meeting scheduled for Lynn and had heard of Sunset Caribbean and so decided to try it. OMG was I not disappointed!!! I had Kabrit with rice and it was AMAZING!!!! The sauce on the rice was pure heaven and the pikliz made me feel perfect even after I had eaten waaaay more than i usually do for lunch. I can't wait to go back and bring my whole family ...even if I might have to have to fight my kids to be sure they'll let me have any of the plantains.... which were pure perfection

My cousin suggested another haitian restaurant in Cambridge but when I read the reviews I was not impressed. I took a leap of faith and another from this place. I ordered griot, turkey, rice and beans, poison, fried plantain and everything were DELICIOUS. The customer service was great, great portion size and reasonable price. I have to say I thought some of price was crazy over the phone, but i went ahead and ordered anyway, and when I picked up the foods I was really satisfied, the trays were actually bigger than I expected and full to the max. The foods were also ready at requested time. I am very happy with place and the suprise gathering was a success because of...
