"This food is incredible!! Without travel I’ve gotten to taste some of the best Haitian food (I dare to even say best food in general) that I’ve ever tasted, and to top it off; I’ve gotten to experience veganism at the top of its game, I just love this place and the amazing people that prepare this freaking amazing food!! I hope Lakou stay’s forever 🫶🏽"

"The food was amazing, I would order it again. I was confused I thought the jackfruit was a sandwich but it's like eating pizza - my hands got a little messy. I want what's on the picture next time. But over all 4/5"
