Chez Lama Haitian Cuisine — Restaurant in Nashville-Davidson

This was a terrible experience. I’m driving from Illinois to Fl and decided to stop in Nashville TN while I’m there I figured I’d look on google to see if there’s any Haitian restaurants nearby to grab some good food instead of the junks food I been eating in the road. Diri sos pwa nwa and Legume kabrit is what I ordered. Cost me $36. I figured for that I might be getting a different type of experience. Nope! Sos pwa was small, the legume kabrit was small. The diri blan was about the only thing that was a decent. The taste of the food was mediocre. The goat meat was salty as heck. I told the lady the legume was small if they can add more for $36 I just spent. She laughed and started to tell me about the bowl size and how many ounces it holds. I kid you not. That same food you’ll find it anywhere else costing you $18-25 average not no $36 dollars. Btw wait time is a joke no matter how early you put in that order. No one is at the counter to accommodate, so you sit and wait while all the workers stares at you. This was the most ridiculous Haitian restaurant I’ve ever experienced in all my years in America. Absolutely ridiculous and terrible. Then she had the audacity to ask me to leave a review. Well here it is. This is how my experience was and how I...

The food was good! Ordered their vegan Haitian legumes and fried plantains (green).

The food was tasty. I was in the mood for some cooked food that I didn't make myself

Lamont (very warm) gave me two of their sauces to try.

One is epis-very chlorophyl rich. The other was pikilz (sp)-spicy contains habaneros with a little tang.

I mixed the two together and ate it with the rice. This elevated the rice and beans.

The stew that accompanied the rice and beans was yummy, reminded me of babaganoush, a bit, in consistency and flavor.

The plantains were fried just right and tasted better than any plantains that I have bought before.

This is a takeout spot through Midtown foods. Ordering was on screen, no waitstaff however the menu and process was pretty straightforward.

This was my first time here. I was looking forward to sitting down in an atmospheric location so I was a bit disappointed with the setup.

Would definitely recommend.

Oh I ate a lot before I thought to take a picture. ...

Chez Lama Haitian Cuisine is an absolute gem! From the moment I walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere set the perfect tone for an incredible dining experience. The food was nothing short of spectacular, authentic Haitian flavors, perfectly seasoned, and cooked to perfection. Every bite was a taste of home-cooked excellence.

The service was just as outstanding, and I have to give a special shoutout to Ms. Marjorie for her exceptional customer service. She was warm, welcoming, and made sure every detail of my experience was perfect. Her hospitality truly made my visit even more enjoyable.

Whether you're dining in or taking out, the quality remains top-notch. If you're looking for real Haitian cuisine that delivers on flavor, hospitality, and atmosphere, this is the place to be. Highly...
