Kreyol Kafe & Bakery - Haitian restaurant in Orlando - 12014 E Colonial Dr #120, USA

I been to so many Haitian restaurants from Canada to Miami. This place is the worst ever! Does not look inviting at all. Like the rice was not fully cooked, the sous pwa was so watery with no beans that I can literally swim in it. Put it on the white rice, the rice became saggy. The Macaroni gratin had no flavor, it looked like they stove cook it instead of putting the Macaroni gratin in the oven. Every Haitian understands that part!!! we called in 20 minutes prior to order our food. On purpose, we arrived in 30 minutes but still waited an additional 20 minutes. And for the macaroni gratin it was $12.50!!! Like you need to put down those prices on the menu. If I didn’t had time to cook my own food, this place would have never saw my face. Just looking at the food, I was insulted. Please do not ever disrespect the culture again. You guys should be ashamed! Nasty ever!

First Haitian spot I have went to and I was very pleased, food is amazing and flavorful. The owner was very nice. Cant wait to come down to Orlando for another plate.

Ordered chicken en sauce and received no sauce. I called to let them know and the lady hung up, I called again and another hung up. I will not be back.

I order a plate of legume, which was burnt and tasteless. The rice was overcooked. Presentation was unpleasantly messy, I wasted money, time and energy- big disappointment! Get somebody else to do it- this restaurant is not it!!!

There's some good food here. If you are familiar with Haitian food or West African food, I think you will like the flavor of the cooking here. The establishment is clean and they have a handful of tables inside. Ordering can be a bit awkward and slow. Not recommended while in a rush. People are polite, but I wouldn't say the customer service great. Overall, a good option for real Creole food.

I ordered griot/rice and beans platter. It was ok but definitely lacked some flavor.I also ordered the black rice which was decent. The thing that ruined my experience was the legume. That was the worst legume I ever tried so far. It was so sour that I threw away after 2 bites. The only reason I’ll give it a 3 star is because the portion size and customer service was decent (compared to other Haitian spots).

So I’ve been to this place a few times, and was never really impressed with the food because the flavor is super lacking. I went recently (7/22/23) only because this restaurant had a deal on the Zupp app for 50% off the fried chicken/fried pork platter. Upon showing the deal for redemption the woman goes “this is actually for a free drink” so she’s not honoring the deal as advertised. The reason I’m writing this review is because not only did she not honor the deal as advertised, but she lied about the “free” drink and still charged me for it which I only caught because I requested a printed receipt. Dishonest and misleading, not to mention the food is subpar at best. If you’re looking for a Haitian restaurant that has great food and service, Lakay Restaurant and Lounge recently opened up less than 10 minutes from this place, and they have actual Haitian chefs that know how to make authentic and delicious Haitian cuisine. I will never come here again.

Terrible customer service!!!! Communication is terrible!!! We called ahead to place our order, drove 20 mins to find out that the place is closed at 8:45pm…the sign outside says they close at 9pm. We call the restaurant and told them that we had placed an order and were outside to pick it up. She finally opens the door for us to find out that our food wasn’t ready and they had run out of the rice we ordered. What I want to know is what were they doing for the 20 mins it took us to get to the place? And why didn’t they tell us that they ran out of the food we ordered? Dont bother going here you guys!
