Lelene Restaurant

Absolutely fantastic place! Stopped by here after a Haitian friend recommended this place and I have to say, their food was tremendously good. Beans and rice plus the plantains were fantastic followed by a nice set selection of the weekday that one could choose from (make sure to dip the griot/pork in the sauce to get the flavor!)

While the food here has options that are seemingly the better of Haitian foods in the area, service is lacking. I've had the "sauce pwa" made if pigeon peas on a Sunday, it is really good. The Lambi/Conch is available on Sundays, also good, except last time I had it around 2pm it was served to me cold, as if out of a refrigerator. That was disappointing. But still, you'll find many options here during the week. Very nice people, but the service is just off. It's challenging when you order a meal 30-40 minutes ahead of time, arrive and still wait an additional 15 minutes with just one or two other customers on site. They should just say it's "walk-in orders only" if that's the only way to get your order. Other than that, it's a pretty good option in the area. "Al plen vant ou."
