Haitian Food In Queens With Staff Who Walk You Through It

Griot made fresh to order, black rice, spicy pikliz, and lemonade brewed with vanilla on Jamaica Avenue.

Try the griot and black rice.

🍛 Your First Haitian Plate

Flanm Cuisine and Catering is an easy first step into Haitian food in Queens. Staff will happily walk newcomers through the menu, explaining ingredients and flagging allergy concerns like mushrooms. Griot, black rice, and spicy pikliz draw the most praise, and main dishes arrive with plantains and gravies, including a black bean option.

The griot is prepared fresh, which can mean a ten to fifteen minute wait, a fair trade for pork that arrives hot. Round out the plate with a baked macaroni and cheese that leans sweet and a homemade lemonade brewed with vanilla. Seating is available for eating in, and to go orders are common too.

Find it at 215-07 Jamaica Avenue in Queens. Hours run 9 AM to 10 PM every day, which gives lunch and dinner equal room.
