Kombit Bar & Restaurant

Up until I went here I was never the biggest fan of Haitian food. Thanks to Kombit that has officially changed. The food is truly delicious, I enjoyed every little bite. Everything was freshly prepared, from the homemade fruit juices to the appetizers to the main course. But I guess all that comes at a cost, everything took so dam long to come out. Literally got there at 9 and didn’t leave until 12, the chef really takes their sweet little time back there in the kitchen. The service wasn’t the best either, I mean I know it’s Caribbean restaurant but all the attitude can be saved for the behind the counter take out spots, not at an actual sit down restaurant. The prices seemed a little high in my opinion and they automatically add gratuity. Definitely might only be good for takeout.

Customer service was good! We involved her (older lady) in our conversations & asked her questions about Haiti and the food. She was eager to talk to us, gave her food recommendations and discussed Haiti. It appears to be family-owned, not sure. The food was good & flavorful, I just added more spice. I really loved the pepper slaw, was able to get a jar to go! Will definitely visit again when in Brooklyn to try the snapper (I ordered the gumbo).

Came here for drinks on a Saturday night. It wasn’t very busy. The server was very nice and friendly. I had a mango margarita and it was very delicious. Well crafted drinks. I took a quick glance at the menu and they offered great options. I’m looking forward to trying their food next time I stop by.

Let me start off by saying I would give 1 star, but because the customer service was great I have to give Kombit 2 stars. As for the food, I was really disappointed with the taste. Most of the food was bland. The gravy for the stew chicken taste like watered down tomato sauce out of a can The only thing I enjoyed was the legume. The wait time was an hour which I was cool with. I had to force myself to eat the food because I didn’t want to waste $73. I’ve had Haitian food from a few restaurants and they were all good. I’m surprised at the amount of positive reviews. I wouldn’t be surprised if most of those customers aren't Haitian or is of Haitian decent. Next time I know not to tip a restaurant that I’ve never been to. Plus it was a take out order smh. It sucks that I have to write this review, but I have to be honest.
