Some days costumer service is better than other!!! If you get one of the men on the phone you?re good, if you get of if the ladies it all depends on the type of day they?re having! I?ve to go off on them a few time due to the attitude!!! The food is fine compared to the other haitian restaurants in the county of Essex and yes I?ve tried them all! One of the things that annoys me is the fact that they have a full menu online, but only offers 5 dishes which means you must call and ask what do they have on that day while placing before placing the orders. As some others have mentioned you must call in advance, but in my experience they are good with having the orders ready by the time you get t...

Found a local Haitian restaurant and excited that it's close to me. Ordered their lunch special Griot and diriz kolé (Pork chunks with rice and beans for $9.99). The lunch specials come with a drink per the menu, they forgot my drink however. Butcheck with the server to confirm. The food smelled so good, I couldn't wait to get it home. At first glance it was nicelypresented with some chopped peppers and onions on the fried pork bites as garnish. The meat bites were a decent size, a littlesmaller than usual, but flavorful. The pork had a nice spice to it, not dry and well cooked. The rice was nicely cooked as well.The tomato based sauce was decent, not as flavored as I'm used to, but not bad...

I usually ride over this restaurant. From the Haitian restaurants I visited in the state, they were the most consistent. But today was different. I ordered oxtail. My first edition, the sauce was watery. The taste I expected when I ate haitiic oxtails was missing in this dish. Did you forget the epis? I refuse to pour water on my rice. The rice, which is usually tasteful, was again, not as an appetite. Not sure whether his measuring cups we don't use as people, but this hit or misconception we have in our restaurant culture must end. I don't know if you turn your chefs, if so, please stop. Let people who know how to cook and cook well consistently take the lead. I am both embarrassing and sk...

The other day I got Elza?s Restaurant Cafe Grill for lunch. Talking about some great food!!!! I ordered their Griot lunch platter w/ White Rice, Sos Pwa. The pork tips were great. The Sos Pwa (bean sauce) was immaculate. And the total meal wasabsolutely amazing. Haitian food in general is the best. The lady who took my order was very attentive and courteous. This placewas all around great. Atmosphere, tantalizing food, and excellent customer service! Can not wait to try this place again. Wouldhighly recommend Elza?s to anyone look for some great Haitian food in the East Orange area! Book a table now

Okay, they are pricey and their portions are small. For the amount of food you can get here, you can get twice the amount and thensome for the same price at another Haitian restaurant. I just think it's unfair that another restaurant's large sizeplatter, is the same price as their small size platter. One good thing about this place is that the restaurant looks clean andthere is always parking.

The food here is amazing. It is a bit pricey, but it?s worth it to me! I rather spend a few extra dollars for well seasoned clean Haitian food then bland/rushed Haitian food. I?ve never had a problem with customer service so I?m guessing that issue wasfixed from reading previous posts, and the place is nice and clean. I would highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing!! I haven?t had griot since I was a kid and sadly it was short lived because they closed shortly after I knew about the restaurant. The taste was great the temperature once it was delivered to me was still hot and the amount you get for the price is worth it. I definitely recommend if you like hatian cuisine ?
