Best Haitian Restaurants Around Boston | Eater Boston

"Part restaurant and part grocery store, Toutwèl offers a glimpse of Haiti, where you can find staples like djon djon, epis, and chokola, essential ingredients in Haitian kitchens. At the Mattapan gem, you’ll discover mayi moulen, a cornmeal porridge breakfast staple. You can’t leave without diving into their fritay; it’s one of the best you can find in Boston. That platter packs together fried breadfruit, accra (a malanga fritter), griot (pork marinated in sour orange juice), marinade (an herb-infused fried dough) and it is finished with a dousing of spicy pikliz. Pair it with an order of ji manyòk, a cold creamy smoothie made of blended yucca, star anise, cinnamon, Haitian vanilla, almond extract, and evaporated milk." - Ashia Aubourg

I bought chicken wings and sou chicken with a small salad. There was no rice or no plantains. My total was $51… $26 for sous chicken and $26 for chicken wings is crazy! Any where else, you can get a full plate of food for around 20. I won’t be back.

The venue is clean and spacious I thought. They have signs in place in compliance with the social distancing guidelines and a excellent customer service. In terms of taste, this is not the best Haitian restaurant, but they're sure to be one of the best value for your money. The plate was heavy and can surely feed to people. In terms of wait time i think it's best to call ahead for your order as you would for many Haitian restaurants. It's not fast food, even Fritay takes time to prepare. I thought they had my food in a timely manner regardless.

I stopped by Toutwèl Restaurant in Mattapan hungry and I left completely satisfied. The goat fritay platter was outstanding: smoky fried goat, crisp plantains, akra. The patés (egg and chicken) were freshly made and so savory. I also loved the goat stew and Légim, which were seasoned beautifully and felt like comfort food to the core. The restaurant has a simple, bright setup just what you want for casual dining or pick‑up. The staff were friendly and helpful. I'd give a solid 5 out of 5

First time there, I had a take out fritay and it was wayy over priced. I ordered a goat fritay which had two fry plaintain, two small Akra, two marinade, and two patate. They mixed the goat meat with beef meat. I was charged $36+ 4.90 tax. The price of this fritay is wayy overpriced and it’s not worth it. I’ve been to better places to eat such at Brazillian restaurants, Thai restaurants, Italian, Indian, Greek ect and I’ve never been charged this kind of price for this tiny plate. Sorry it’s not worth the price especially the location and the surrounding. If this place was in a high end like Fenway, newton, chestnut Hill it probably would have been okay but can’t over charge customers for this tiny thing.

Unfortunately, these were the worst Haitian beef patties that I have ever had. The dough was so thick (like empanadas) and there was also a strange after taste that I could not stomach; I could not even finish eating it. On top of that I ordered 6 patties in total, 5 beef and 1 chicken (1 beef and 1 chicken were for someone else), I received 4 chicken patties and 2 beef patties which was very upsetting because I am not a fan of chicken at all. This left me with just 1 beef patty and I had to throw away the other 3 chicken ones (my portion of the order) because the person I ordered for did not like the patties either and did not want to eat them. In addition, for whatever reason the smell was also unsavory. I cannot explain the distinct smell but it was not pleasant. Perhaps, we got a bad batch because I could not believe how bad these tasted and smelled. On the plus side, the customer service was great! The woman at the front who prepared my order was very kind. I would give 5 stars for the customer service I had but definitely 1 star for the patties. Maybe next time I will try one of their other dishes and have better luck because according to the majority of other reviews, they have good food. **Side note (attached picture): I did not receive the patty that way, I opened it up to make it easier to eat because the dough was that thick. What is shown in the picture is what I threw away in addition to what I said in my above review.**

Called 30 minutes to order a fish, ( in sauce) and I was told that it would cost me $30. When I came, not only my fish wasn't ready but when I got the bill to my surprise I was charge extra for the plantains. What kind of restaurant does that? Secondly my fish wasn't in sauce just fried. Thirdly had no other choice to throw away my sos pwa because all I was tasting was cloves nothing else. First and last night going there.

Hello Thanks

I order fritay taso goat 3 times a month and always get 3 akra 3 marinade 3 patat 3 banana and my total is $34.07 with tax for several months. I pay cash because as a fellow small business owner I know about Apple pay, Visa, American Express $1.59 + $0.79 transaction FEES which is why they have signs regarding $10.00 minimum I assume. If you like a small business pay cash to help keep the cost low. .... I was upset when I read post that are fake or out of spite on here because the staff will accommodate you if you ask I am sure because of the positive vibe. If you are unhappy be a HUMAN and talk to the staff instead of hating on a keyboard and hiding. I was to frustrated reading some bad reviews I think are made by haters not common sense people. I had to speak up. Thanks for reading

While the restaurant had a welcoming atmosphere, it quickly went downhill from there. Seems very disorganized as to where you are supposed to stand and receive your order. I am very familiar with authentic manje Haitian and this is not it. We had incredibly dry griot and used poor cuts, pate kode both poul and ze that were under seasoned and cheap ingredients. Very disappointing.

Worst service ever I have ordered since 11 o'clock and I arrive at the place at 12 o'clock almost 1 o'clock and they tell me that they don't have my order and can't differentiate the orders.

Food was amazing! They are very friendly and accommodating. We ordered several take out dishes and it was plentiful. I would definitely recommend this place. Best restaurant in the area!

I do, love Haitian Patty and I was very disappointed for $50 worth of Patty when I called the restaurant all she told me I didn't make the party she didn't call a manager she didn't give me an answer nothing that was really rude and she wasn't professional at all please just serve the right food

Went to get some Patties, I was not even acknowledged. They took customers that came in after me and when I asked they said "he's a regular" . So I guess If you're not a regular customer you get cut and have to wait.

Food is great. Out of the other Haitian restaurants their customer service is the best.
