The 17 Best Caribbean Restaurants In Philly

"If you want to eat Haitian food that’s as tasty as it is filling, head to Lawndale’s Fritay Lakay. Open as early as 8:30am daily, start your day with a plantain porridge, a yam mash mixed with nuts and dried fruit, or breakfast spaghetti that tosses in bell peppers, onions, and sausage in a tomato sauce. On days when it’s so cold that going outside is offensive, go for the bouillon. It’s a stew that blends thick cuts of beef with carrots, noodles, and plantains, and feels like a complete, hearty meal in one bowl. " - candis mclean

Where To Get Food From The African Diaspora In Philly

"If you want to eat Haitian food that’s tasty but also bound to have you reaching for a blanket and pillow after your last bite, head to Lawndale’s Fritay Lakay. Open as early as 8:30am daily, start your day with a plantain porridge, a yam mash mixed with nuts and dried fruit, or breakfast spaghetti that tosses in bell peppers, onions, and sausage in a tomato sauce. On days where it’s cold enough that you’d need Gritty’s fur to keep you warm, go for the bouillon. It’s a stew that blends thick cuts of beef with carrots, noodles, plantains, and a broth that’ll fill you with more warmth than that blanket and pillow combo ever could. " - candis mclean

They do not make you feel welcome as an American. I don’t eat meat like that so when I go in and ask for just rice and peas with gravy it’s a problem. The girl putting the rice in container instantly gets an attitude because that’s all I want. This is the second time this has happened to me. So I’m done my money spend just like everybody else money on what I choose to eat. I don’t care if I just want rice that I’m paying $5.40 for smh and I’m a great tipper even for just rice didn’t tip this time because I’m not going to keep excepting rude service.

I've seen this place by just googling for local food before but never had the chance to come until Monday. I've been here 3 times in 1 week! I usually get Jamaican food, never eaten Haitian food but laaaawd this place is IT!!! The oxtails are bomb and these patties are the patties of ALL patties!!! I am officially ADDICTED!!! The food here is so good!! Do not hesitate to try them...trust me on that! All I need to try now is their mac & cheese lol!

The worst part about this place is their customer service. They are SO rude. I figured maybe they had an off day. Nope, I’ve given them multiple chances, same experience everytime. So disorganized, not cooperative with customer requests (attitude). Food is either mediocre, great, or a huge miss, not consistent at all. The lack of care for the food is obvious as well….my last straw to write this review: I literally saw a man come in from OUTSIDE with a large aluminum oven pan of macaroni. There was no cover on it, he had no gloves on. Trust me when I say if you’re not Haitian, you aren’t welcome here, and even if you are, they still won’t care to be better because they’ll always have customers (unfortunately). If you’re craving Haitian food, you’re better off taking that 15 minute drive to “Gou!” Trust me, you won’t regret it.

Great authentic Haitian restaurant! Food was delicious, home cooked, and fresh. They have Haitian patties and baked macaroni and cheese in addition to rice/beans/meat combinations.

The griot was cool could’ve had more flavor though, the rice could’ve used more flavor as well but the pickliz was great with everything

Mt friend recommended this place to me. I am Jamaican and I love Haitian cuisine and culture. The flavors and spices blended together is amazing. This place never fails me authentic carribean food. I love the fried goat and stew chicken. Most of the time I am eating and enjoying my meal. I don’t have time to take pictures because the food is soo good.

Fried turkey and rice w peas was delicious. Sad they didn't have any cake yesterday but their food is very good and they give you a generous amount even for the lunch portion!
