Griot, pikliz, soup joumou, lambi — Haitian NYC
Brooklyn's Haitian food scene runs deep, from the bustling heart of Flatbush to cozy spots across the boroughs where the smell of griot hits you before you even walk through the door. This is where you'll find that perfect bowl of soup joumou that tastes like Sunday morning, pikliz with just the right kick, and lambi so tender it'll remind you why this cuisine holds its own against anything the city has to offer.
We keep this list fresh with weekly updates because good Haitian spots deserve your business and your timing. Call ahead especially on weekends when everyone's craving that home-cooked taste, and double-check those hours since family-run places sometimes keep their own schedule.
