My mind was in a quandary on what rating to exactly give this "Restaurant." 1 or 2, I am truly torn between them. When I walked in I should've turned around as soon as I looked at the singular customer sitting in a corner by his lonesome and by the look on his face it looked as though he had been sitting for quite some time. I've lived over 20+ years with a West Indian and I've never been so fretful to eat the food that was served to me. Oxtails that darn taste of mine! only to be ruined for another time. My head swoons in thinking about the awful experience as I am still burping it up 4 hours later!!! Who in the world enjoys this place. Okay I'll give it to them it appears to be clean, but I should've known something was awry when I smelled nothing cooking and a lone fly hovered over the food but dared to set down. If it wasn't for my growling stomach and my blasted taste for oxtails I would've left it in the foam container and bag they gave it to me in. Mine you, I was eating in. So, with great hope for a hot and delicious meal I sunk the edges of my teeth into the most pitiful looking morsel of tail I had ever eaten in public. I tried to work around the bone of my half-hearted prepared meal with hopes that the meat would give way and with much effort it finally did. I tried to wrap my head around the sight, the sharpest bone ever, odd-tasting seasonings, a mound of hard brown rice, and petrified-looking plantains that I just couldn't; or I just wouldn't consume. A young boy was seated at the register area squealing with glee at the video game which pierced the already unsettling quiet atmosphere of the restaurant. Oh, I forgot to tell you the attendant, waitress I'm unsure of her position brought out the homely looking man's meal with bedroom slippers, a headscarf on while dragging her feet across the floor as though we both had imposed and were sitting in her bedroom. Oh my! What an experience! That I struggled with whether to write and share or keep this embarrassing debacle to myself. But, I had to be true to the many West Indians and unsuspecting victims who would spend over $10+ expecting to have a hot cook-up and get something akin to slop instead. So sorry, but not sorry. Maybe if they had at least a traditional restaurant offering at the least a glass of water, but they were too busy back in the kitchen doing only God knows what. Eat there if you wish, but in my opinion, it may be a hit or miss, one I wished...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI probably should've exited the place when a child asked me what I wanted to order. First lady walked out, looked in my the eyes and didn't greet me. I ordered 2 meals, tasso turkey and oxtail. The turkey was not tasso, it was huge fried pieces of turkey and it was EXTREMELY SALTY and the rice was hard and some of it was gratin. The oxtail cost me $20 and it had 3 pieces in it. It looks nothing like what's on their menu to the point that I questioned an older child (who was also working there) if it was actually oxtail. The oxtail is not a meat for the meal, it is a stew (bouyon). I've never had Haitian oxtail like that before. They filled the bowl up with veggies to make it seem like a lot but you only get 3 pieces of oxtail for $20. Overall, I am beyond disappointed that I drove over 30 minutes and spent about $40 for that. I should stick with the Haitian restaurant that I'm used to but this one got me with the good reviews. My suggestion: hire some good cooks and adults to answer your phones and take...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreLETS TALK ABOUT THIS LITTLE GEM LOCATED IN MILFORD, DE. THIS LITTLE BUT BIG IN DELICIOUS FOOD HAITIAN RESTAURANT IS TOO DIE. AS A PESCATARIAN, MY FAVIORITES ARE THE LEGUME WITH RICE AND THE FRIED FISH WITH PEAS, RICE, PLANTAINS AND SALAD. THE FISH(RED SNAPPER) IS FRIED AND SEASONED TOO PERFECTION. THE PLAINTAINS ARE JUST RIGHT SWEET, GOLDEN BROWN, AND PERFECTLY PLEASING. THE RICE AND PEAS ARE SEASONED TO THE "T" AND THE COCONUT MILK MAKES THE RICE AND PEAS DISH JUST AS FLUFFY. I TRAVELED OVER 2 HRS AND THE RESTAURANT SISTERS HAPPENED TO COME ON MY RADAR FOR GOOD FOOD. THE FOOD IS SO DELICIOUS AND I'M EXTREMELY TOO FULL TO MOVE AND THE PLATTERS ARE FOR 2. SINCE I AM ON MY WAY TO THE BEACH AND NOT ABLE TO REFRIGERATE, I HAVE TO OVERSTUFF MYSELF. IT'S GOING TO BE WORTH IT TO BE FULL AND HAPPY...
