Best Griot in East Flatbush

Haitian griot — fried pork shoulder with pikliz, East Flatbush

East Flatbush runs deep with Haitian culture, and nowhere does that show more than in the crispy, savory perfection of authentic griot. This isn't just fried pork – it's slow-marinated pork shoulder, perfectly seasoned and served with that tangy pikliz that makes your taste buds dance. The neighborhood's Haitian joints have been perfecting this dish for decades, creating little pockets of Port-au-Prince right here in Brooklyn.

We update this list every week because good griot spots come and go, and hours can change faster than you think. Always call ahead – these are real neighborhood spots, not corporate chains, so sometimes they close early when they sell out or stay open late when the vibe is right. Trust the locals, trust your nose when you walk in, and don't sleep on the sides.

We're still curating this list — check back this week, or tip a spot.
