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.

Excellent Service from Marcel Marcel was fantastic during our visit! He was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. He gave great recommendations, checked in at the right times, and really made the experience enjoyable. The food was great, but Marcel’s service truly made the night memorable. Highly recommend asking for him if you come here!

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!

Came in to this restaurant a few nights ago while in the neighborhood and due to the reviews. And I am soooo happy I did!! The food was so good I was doing a lil happy dance in my seat. Lol And the waitress Julissa was a sweetheart! I had the Voodoo Pasta which I substituted the mushrooms for garlic and it was amazing!!! A must try! My friend and I shared the Chickpea Lava and green plantains and it did not disappoint! My friend had the Kabrit En Sauce with black rice, and he said it was the best goat he's had to date. I tried the black rice and Chickpea Lava and wow! That alone can be the perfect meal. I also had the cocktail Haitian Sunset where I substituted the orange juice for passion fruit and it was perfect! I cannot wait to come 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

Great ambiance! Romantic, friendly and a perfect date night. Tasty dishes and good service. We ordered a chicken stew, goat stew and griot sliders with pikliz. Everything was delicious. First time having Haitian food and loved it.
