The employees super professional, inviting and warm hearted. I've tried many Haitian restaurants in Laval, this is top 2 by far! One time, I had a predicament that most places weren't have bothered helping me with. Glory to God!

The service, food and cleanliness is amazing. The woman working there made a fresh batch of griot for us to assure our satisfaction. We were so pleased with her caring service. The food was amazing, great taste and crisp. Definately recommend this location for authentic Creole cuisine on the go. (Ps; they also have 2 for 1 deal on griot monday through wednesday).

I couldn’t even wait I finish my food to write this review. Mostly because I want to enjoy every bite of my food to the maximum miam! Aléken has my heart!! I’ve been welcomed by the most nice lady ( she always gives mama bear vibes) and the best food of my day. Trust me when I tell you the meat, the piklis, the rice and even the sauces are very juicy and fresh. I would definitely return again. Thank you for yummy food and a big smile
