“ An extraordinary dining experience! I had the legume stew dish with shrimp and sweet plantain on the side. The stew was unbelievably good, it felt like a home cooked meal. We also got fried herring which was a great app to our meal. The service was incredible too. I actually lost an expensive piece of gold jewelry and the staff were prompt in helping me find it! Great service and delicious food! I’ll be coming back! ”
“ I had an amazing time at Djondjon. My friends and I went here for dinner and we were impressed. The food was absolutely delicious. Our waitress, Julissa O, was outstanding. She constantly checked up on us, offered great recommendations, and was overall a vibe. I highly recommend this spot for delicious Haitian food. ”
“ Food was excellent. It feels like the food is organically cooked, with good attention to detail, making for a very good presentation and experience. I got the beef blood sausage, and DjonDjon paella. Blood sausage was nicely juicy and flavored, the tomatoes and sauce paired very nicely, adding a nice touch of acidity and sweetness. The DjonDjon paella is nice and satisfying. It is not boldly flavored, which meant I could eat a lot of it in one sitting without feeling overwhelmed. The atmosphere is nice, like casual fine dining. I highly recommend giving this place a try, I will certainly be back. ”
“ Stepping into DjonDjon in Brooklyn, I was immediately struck by the inviting atmosphere – and even better, finding parking was fairly easy, a definite plus in this vibrant borough! I came in with high hopes, and DjonDjon delivered beautifully. Our server, Julissa (I hope I'm spelling that right!), was an absolute delight – attentive, friendly, and made our dining experience even more enjoyable. I opted for the DjonDjon Burger and it was fantastic. The patty was juicy and flavorful, perfectly complemented by the fresh toppings. But what truly elevated the meal were the sides: the Green Plantains were perfectly fried to a golden crisp, sweet and utterly addictive, while the Black Rice was rich, savory, and incredibly satisfying. Every bite was a testament to the authentic flavors DjonDjon brings to the table. Based on my experience, DjonDjon is a must-visit for anyone craving delicious Haitian cuisine. With its fantastic food, great service from people like Julissa, and convenient parking, it's a gem in Brooklyn. Thank you ”
“ I came here for a family gathering. They accommodated all 30 of us. I know it was probably a little hectic, however everyone was very attentive. My server Moe was amazing. The food was served family style since it was a large group. Everything was really good, but my favorite dish was diri blan sos pwa, and the goat. The goat was so tender, the sos pwa had so much flavor. My experience was 10/10 & I do recommend! ”
