This inviting restaurant had an amazing vibe. The waiters were attentive and Haitian music played in the background. This... restaurant utilized their small space well. I felt outdoor seating was done perfectly. No matter where you sat, you would besure to feel like you're taking in the culture wuth the decor. The owner made it a point to come out to greet us on our firstvisit. The Menu is limited, but what they had, they did it well. The food presentation was superb. There was a bit of a wait,but great food definitely made up for it along with service. The Paté Korde is a must try along with macaroni au gratin. Thisplace is a must try!!!! This place does not serve drinks with alcohol as of yet. owner updates they are awaiting their liquorlicense. It doesn't take away from their tropical virgin drinks that are equally delicious ???? ???????????As a fellow Haitian Idefinitely will support effort. Read more
This spot is BYOB. But they have lovely juice drinks, get a pitcher! The food is tasty, on the spicy side but filled with lots... of flavor & I love spicy food. The service was pretty good and the ambiance is gives artistic island vibes. Read more
First, I have to say, this was my first time at Zanmi's and eating Haitian food. Both were outstanding and I will be back again.... As other post wrote "This is a diamond in the rough". The staff was very courteous, the atmosphere was great, the music wascatchy, and to top it off the food was outstanding. This is a great date spot or bring the whole family. We started out with amocktail (Daybreeze & Virgin Mojito). They both were tasty but not to sweet. We ordered the Griot Sliders. The pork was tenderand the slaw had just the right amount of spice. The blend if flavor was wow. We each had the DjonDjon Box (one Chicken & oneShrimp). The rice with protein and the stewed tomatoes was a delicious combination. Topped it off with a delicious piece ofCarrot Cake (highly recommend) and a cup of coffee. The rainbow was an added bonus to an outstanding night. Please check Zanmiout, you will not be disappointed!! Read more
Out of towner reviewer: UNBELIEVABLE! One of the best meals ever! My wife and I stopped by for dinner after arriving into... Brooklyn for the weekend. Here’s what we ordered: -Kabrit en Sauce w/ black rice (very delicious! the goat was so tender.Note: this does have some spice to it) -Chickpea Laya w/ black rice (fully vegan and very, very good. A large portion, plenty toeat) -Macaroni Autin (possibly the hidden gem of the menu. So creamy, hot, and delicious) -Sweet plantains (amazing, just whatwe wanted for a nice sweet treat after dinner) The staff was super friendly. Just as a heads up, they don’t serve alcohol,but we heard the mock tails are still good to have. The meal prices were a little higher than anticipated, but still, very muchworth it. Overall, we were highly impressed with Zanmi and recommend it to everyone. This restaurant is a diamond-in-the-roughestablishment, definitely come check it out! Read more
Great date spot! This restaurant has such a soothing atmosphere. The Kompa music makes you distress, the food will make your... tummy satisfied and the presentation of everything around is aesthetically pleasing. I recommend the catch of the day to my fishlovers Read more
The food was absolutely delicious. I tip my hat to the chef, who was absolutely wonderful. I got a chance to chat with him a... little and expressed my enjoyment of the meal. I visited with friends who had not had Haitian food before, and I must say we allcleaned our plate. The staff was friendly and professional, and the space comfortable with Kompa music playing in thebackground. We will definitely be going back. Excellent. Read more
I never take the time to come back and make reviews but this place was so worth the trouble. Very authentic flavorful... restaurant. The service was amazing, with servers so attentive and friendly. I went there for dinner and got the appetizer friedokra, perfectly coated and salted. I then had there ginger lemon tea which was already sweetened and usually I don’t like mytea sweetened but the subtlety of the flavor made it perfect with the hint of sweetness. For my entree I had the vegan rice andvegetable stew. I am a picky plant based eater and I had no complaints the vegetables were seasoned to perfection and cooked tojust the right temperature. I honestly would truly rate this place a 10/10 experience and can not wait to go back and try moredishes. Read more
