TLDR: IT'S OK BUT BE WARNED IT'S EXTREMELY SALTY. Overall, first time I give this place a try, I ordered the griot plate (UE... delivery) imho a bit pricy for griot but at least it's a generous portion with lots of meat / rice. The first bite is good butthe more you eat you quickly realize this is way wayyyyyy too salty. There are better griot in Laval. Traditionally and in lotsof creole resto the griot meat can be very chunky pieces of fat, I don't like that so I asked for lean pieces in my order and totheir credit every pieces we had were very lean which is great, only problem was they were a bit too dry, which to be fair canbe expected with lean meat... not a problem usually because you pour a generous amount of sauce over it, but yeah not in thiscase (sauce = pure salt) The rice is good but not the best, there is not enough beans and missing bit of flavor (do not confuseflavor with salt, there is enough salt lol). The sauce, OH my god, I normally pour the sauce all over my griot dish, lucky Ididn't do this! The sauce is basically liquid salt! You need to add a few drops here and there otherwise the saltiness will justoverpower everything. It felt more like a peppery sauce rather than traditional griot sauce... The plantain banana, is, ok, notgreat, I get it though, it's not easy to get crispy plantain on take out, and some people like it a bit mushy like that, but Iprefer thinner cuts for crispier plantains... I've yet to find a restaurant that make really good plantains though this is aproblem with all creole place I tried so far. The macaroni side dish is just a useless distraction imho, I don't know why lotsof creole place like to add this as a side, it's always mediocre at best, simply not needed. I understand restaurants like toadd a bit extra salt to enhance flavors but this is ridiculous... Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it was a mistake as otherpeople have also commented how the food is too salty. This is unfortunate, if you've had Read more

I was looking for something to eat tonight and came across this place. I decided to order the griot as it's their main meals.... Unfortunately as some stated, the meat is very salty, usually I wouldn't have noticed it as I do eat salted meat but this wasbeyond what I expected. I haven't tried other meals so I can't really comment but just be careful. Read more
