“One word, PHENOMENAL!!!! This food here touched my SOUL!!! This was my first time trying Haitian food and my first time at this restaurant. I had the most amazing experience and I plan on coming back many times to try different things on the menu! Let me first say that the customer service and hospitality is top notch! Mr. Roberto was truly amazing in all that he did! Very welcoming, friendly, and overall a very pleasant person that made this such a great experience! You most certainly feel at home here. Service was speedy and on time! Now to the food... y'all! I got teary eyed eating here because the flavors were so great and pretty unexplainable! I am a big foodie and I have tried many different foods from different cultures in different countries. Not many gave me the feelings I had here! I mean kisses to the chef because every item that we ordered was cooked and seasoned to perfection! We ordered the fried turkey that came with rice and beans with vegetables, macaroni gratin, stewed goat with black beans and rice, bannann peze, and rum cake! The way that goat and turkey was seasoned and so tender, I could cry!! The rice was also very well seasoned and good!! That rum cake (and YES you will taste that rum) topped the evening off perfectly with its sweet flavor and soft, perfectly moist texture. The prices are very reasonable for the portion sizes you receive. I had to get a to go plate! I would give more than 5 stars if I could! I will be back and highly recommend this place! I also love the artwork and ambiance !! Y'all please check it out!!! 🙏🏾 Had to come back for a second time!! Stewed chicken was amazing!! Definitely try the (Chiktay in bannann cups) smoked herring starter in plantain cups! Great amount of flavor and spice!”

“I recently had an incredible dining experience at Port-au-Prince Haitian Cuisine restaurant in Maryland. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warm hospitality and a cozy, inviting atmosphere that made us feel right at home. The food here is simply outstanding. We ordered the Taso Kabrit, whole snapper, mac and cheese, and plantains. Each dish was bursting with authentic flavors and beautifully presented. - Taso Kabrit: The goat was tender and perfectly seasoned, offering a delightful mix of spices that truly brought out the essence of Haitian cuisine. - Whole Snapper: The fish was fresh and expertly grilled, with a crispy exterior and moist, flavorful interior. It was a standout dish that I would highly recommend. - Mac and Cheese: Creamy, tasty, and comforting, this dish added a familiar and delicious touch to our meal. Just like Mom used to make it. - Plantains: Perfectly fried, these were a savory treat that complemented our main dishes beautifully. The service was top-notch, with attentive and friendly staff who were knowledgeable about the menu and eager to make recommendations. They went above and beyond to ensure that our dining experience was nothing short of excellent. Port-au-Prince Haitian Cuisine is a gem in Maryland, offering a unique and memorable dining experience. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to enjoy exceptional Haitian cuisine in a wonderful setting. I will definitely be returning to savor more of their delightful dishes!”

“I came here with my queen for 4th of July weekend so it wasn’t busy at all. She ordered the Vegetarian Legume entree with black rice and I ordered the Stewed Goat entree with black rice. Also ordered their Port Au Prince (PAP) wings. Both dishes came with Pikliz and plantains. We ordered patties and Mac and cheese to go. Everything was flavorful and tasty. Service was excellent. 10/10 would recommend.”

“This place was on my list for the longest and finally got a chance to try it. For starters the food is simply tasty ! Just so good. I ordered the djon djon came with a side of plantains. My only thing is I would say the food fairly pricy for what I’m used to - in Florida. For my cocktail, I ordered the punch 9/10. The location is pretty nice. Staff is nice and friendly. Overall 8/10”
