Naomi's Garden Restaurant & Lounge

If teleportation were real, Naomi's would be the portal to Haiti. Walking into this cozy gem is like stepping straight into my mother's kitchen--if my mother's kitchen had a magical back garden with live music playing softly in the background. Every bite of the food here feels like a warm hug from home, and it has me wondering if Naomi has somehow bribed my mom to share her secret recipes.The plantains are so crispy you'd think they were fried in the Caribbean sunshine, and the griot is so tender that I briefly considered applying for citizenship in the land of Naomi's kitchen. The rice and beans? Let's just say I might have shed a tear of joy. And that garden--oh, the garden! It's like paradise decided to take up residence right behind Naomi's. Between the tropical plants and the soft, melodic tunes drifting through the air, it's impossible not to relax and let the flavors transport you back to the heart of Haiti.This place is easily 5 stars, and I'm already planning my next visit. My only complaint? I wish Naomi's served breakfast, lunch, and dinner... every day.

Decided to stop by Naomi's Garden on my most recent trip to Miami. Having never had Haitian food living in TX, I was very intrigued.I will say the location of the restaurant was a tad bit daunting, and I had to park on the street across from the restaurant and cross over (a little scary with the two lanes of traffic in a fairly busy area). I wish I had been able to eat-in since I've heard the ambiance is super unique, but wasn't able to. Even though I was picking up a to-go order, it took me almost 10 minutes to do so since their pickup process is very confusing and had to wait for a while until someone got to serving me. The food itself was good especially for the price, as I think I got a lot for what I paid for. The jerk chicken was flavorful but didn't taste too different that the standard Jamaican version: maybe they are the same but was excited to see how Haitian food differs. My favorite thing I ordered was the Sour Sop drink. OMG it was creamy and slightly tart and oh so refreshing on a hot late spring day. Would HIGHLY recommend!Next time I'm in town, I will definitely try to eat more unique- to- Haiti items on their menu and try to dine in to get the full experience!

Delicious Haitian food in Miami's Little Haiti neighborhood. You order your food at the front where they serve you cafeteria-style and you can take it to go, or dine in at the back area. It's a large area with lots of tables and open space. The oxtail was really good.

Watered down Haitian food. This is the gentrified version of Haitian food. Haitian food is vibrant and tasty but what I ate disappointed me - but what do you expect: it's not even Haitian owned. The location is great for night entertainment but no parking. Staff was nice. If you want great or even good Haitian food - this is not it.

This restaurant is amazing everything is so tasty and excellent. The rice is always fresh and moist

My first time trying Haitian food didn't disappoint! I ordered to go, but they do have a lounge area for dining in. The portions were generous, although more sides than meat. The food was nicely seasoned, fyi it's a little spicy. I will go back and try eating in next time. Check them out!

The ambiance felt like sincerity along with amazing music that complements a large plate of good Haitian cuisine. The Jerk Chicken was delicious, and the pricing is affordable. Naomi's Garden is a nice place to eat and relax. This out of towner will definitely return.

Found this place because of YouTube. Lived in Miami my whole life and never came across such a spectacular place that serves delicious authentic Haitian food. I got the oxtail with rice, baked Mac and pikliz. For my drink I ordered passion fruit juice. The oxtail was very tender and the food in general very flavorful. The best part of the place is this really cute garden in the back. It was a bit empty today however I still enjoyed it with my family. Would definitely recommend this place for people to check out. I'd come in the day next time I'm here.

I ordered from here as a recommendation from a friend and I can promise you I will NEVER order again. Not sure if this was because it was the end of the night before closing but I ordered an oxtail plate and many of the pieces of oxtail were under cooked. Color hue of the oxtail was also off however I thought maybe their browning process was a bit different, but that was not the case. 75% of the oxtails were not cooked after you ate past the first bite. I'm not one to take time to write reviews but as I have time going back and forth from bed to the toilet a day later as I suffer from food poisoning at the moment I figure I had the time to write this review and please ask that you guys are not pushing food out that's not prepared just because it's the end of the night or it's the bottom of the barrel. You're better off just making the item unavailable in the system or sold out for the day instead of sending poorly prepared food, it takes a few minutes to do in the system. Hoping Ubereats verify a full refund and I will definitely never recommend this place. If I could give negativ stars for how sick I feel right now I would.

The food looks old and disgusting and they do not pay attention when giving you orders they give you the wrong order and then blame it on you for not checking when they are supposed to check before they hand it to you then they want to withhold the order from you like if it's not their mistake to begin with.
