This is a hole in the wall. Take out only.
We've passed them on our way to visit family in West Babylon many times. But it's usually for a family gathering with plenty of food, so we were never able to stop in. This time, we were just stopping by to help with computer problems. Hubby is IT. Yay, we got to try this Haitian restaurant finally!
We got Beef Legume and Black Rice, this is so good!!! The black rice was so flavorful that you could eat it without anything else. Oxtail with Black Rice was tasty, but the oxtail could be more tender.
We took everything back to his nephew's house. He has 2 little ones, and neither he nor the kids ever had Haitian food. Everyone loved it! Even the pikliz! LOL
Will definitely try to go back next time we are in the area!

Unless you have time to waste, don’t bother. We called in to order 3 patties and were told to come pick it up the patties in 20 minutes. We showed 40 minutes later they weren’t ready. We still had to 15 minutes after we got there. So 55 minutes total just to get 3 patties, and this is not an isolated experience. Happens all the time, very frustrating.

Absolutely the worst experience ever. I went here because I was in town and I am Trinidadian descent. So when I googled restaurants nearby I automatically wanted to try this place out. First off I waited approximately 45 mins to be served when there was only 3 customers ahead of me. I had a chance to look at the food. Didnt see the mac n cheese so I asked if they had mac n cheese before I wait. the woman said yes we do. So i see the picture of the mac and cheese and i ended up waiting an additional 30 mins. The lady was by her self and clearly couldn't multi task cause when someone spoke to her she completely froze up. Here comes a woman from the back to add rice to a mostly full tray. Most restaurants would switch it out not pile fresh food on top of old food. I should have left after seeing this. But no I wanted to get this nearly 5 star food. So the second lady goes to the back to most likely do something unproductive. I would go on and on about how poorly managed this place is but their is a simple fix.have 1 or 2 people serving the food and one person at the register.and get rid of all the presets the hitting the name of dishes. That only works on touch screens. So after 45 mins of me waiting and asking nicely I finally get helped. Only to be half helped. Clearly the workers cannot multitask. Anyway the mac and cheese wasn't good the veggie thing was good and whatever rubber like meat was horrible. I will not ever go back again.

I ordered a serving of griot. Not only they send me about 6 small pieces of pure fat. I can't eat all that fat from specially pork. Why the rice was not separate from the meat. The legumes taste very good but they put it in a small plate next to the white rice. You need to visit these two places to see how they serve food.1 Taste of the Islands restaurant:in Hempstead and Creole buffet in Uniondale.These two places serve enough for the money. Are you saving the plates

The food at Paradise Caribbean Restaurant is exceptional! Very tasty and well prepared and you can chose among many menu options. I love the service at the place and the owner is so friendly and takes care to offer the best quality! I highly recommend this place.
