Taste the Island

It’s so hard to find a good haitian restaurant that is always consistent with the value and taste of the food. I live in Brooklyn but it’s always worth the trip to go to «Taste of the Island». The fish is packed with flavor, they are not cheap with the «Tassot» fried goat and it taste so good. It’s worth the trip.

So far this is the BEST place I’ve ordered Haitian food from in Long Island. The place is on the small side and it’s not really meant for dining in. 99% of the people I see there order to take-​out. If I call my food in advance it is available when I arrive to pick it up. Parking is available at the front of the building or at the side streets. The place is clean inside and offers an ATM since they ONLY except cash.
When I’ve had guests come over my place and I didn’t have time to cook, I’ve ordered their platters and patte and every time it has been loved by everyone. My personal favorite is the goat or pork with white rice and sweet plantains! The proportion of food they give you is more than enough and honestly can last you a day or two.

I get food here every Sunday for my grandma. It’s a wonderful spot for Haitian food. Way better than ordering pizza for dinner if you didn’t have time to make it yourself. I only wish they could teach me how to make Haitian food the way they do.

Excellent food, especially the goat! The rice and beans is exquisite!
