Bunnan

Bunnan is one of my neighborhood go-to's, the type of place I can order from and know whatever I'm getting is good. Today I was finally home on a weekend, and decided to try the Plantain Pizza I've been seeing them advertise on their socials. *I want to offer to the team that the order method is a little confusing (pic below)-- I chose the Plantain Pizza Griot option (love their pork), and when it came up, it asked me to pick an option for a Taco. Knowing from socials that the Pizza was a personal pan size that, I figured it must just come with a size because this special is on the pricier side of their items ($26). So I chose mushrooms for the taco to go with my Griot pizza, but when my roommate came back with the pizza, and it was only/all mushrooms. Honestly, if this was anywhere but Bunnan I'd have been unhappy about it, but literally everything was so good I can't even complain. The Mushroom pizza is absolutely delicious Only mentioning it in case anyone else on Toast runs into that confusion, but trust me, eating here you'll be happy with whatever you'll get. 10's, as usual!

Drove a lovely 2hrs (in traffic) to try BunNan... it was on my to try list and I'm so glad we made the trip. EVERYTHING and I mean tout bagay was amazing! I had the mushroom sandwich which had all the flavors! (Ordered 2 more to go). My group tried every sandwich (griot, tassot, jerk chicken, snapper and mushroom). Sampler box is a great idea! You can order and sit inside, though seats are limited and shared with other spots..but if you're me, the vibe is also outside! I had dlo kokoye, instead of water from the merchants outside and bought some kann to go. I absolutely wished this was closer but I won't let distance separate us BunNan! A bientot!

The Goat plantain sandwich is phenomenal. Delicious ingredients and tender meat. Comes with a tiny tiny side salad. The service is very nice and the food hall has ample seating. However, the workers tried selling me on a juice drink. I don't normally drink sugary drinks but they insisted it was good. So I obliged and ordered a large to help support this small business. It wasn't until I paid that I saw the price: $9 for a regular cup of juice. Which was about 12 ounces. Those mangoes better be crushed by the palm of your hand for $9. It was decent but I would never actually pay that much anywhere else as it was nothing special. I actually do not really recommend this place because the price for something simple is clearly way too much and seems to be about gouging your wallet to support the new food hall.

This was located inside a food hall. The location had plenty of potential, but when I was there, there were only 2 food stalls operating. Bunnan specializes in these plantain sandwiches. You have 5 options to pick from (pork, goat, jerk chicken, red snappers and mushroom). During the weekend they have special items like plantain lasagna. If you like trying different things or are indecisive, they have the sampler box option for $26. You can pick 4 sandwiches of any flavor except the goat one. The sample box is a smaller sized plantain sandwich than if you ordered individually. We ended up getting all four different option. You can pick between green plantain or sweet plantain for the sandwich shells.Here is my ranking of the four:1. Mushroom - this is surprising my favorite! This is the least salty one and the mushroom texture is so meaty. 2. Pork - taste like bbq pulled pork 3. Red snapper - savory, texture reminds me of dried canned tuna 4. Jerk chicken - overly salty in my opinion; I also haven't really had jerk chicken but was a bit taken by the taste & texture I also highly recommend getting the sweet plantain shells. It's softer and the contrast of the sweet with the savory proteins really brings out the flavor! You get your food pretty quickly. It took about 7-10 minutes for my order and there were no orders in front of mine.

The Flatbush Caribbean Market held so much promise, but in reality it hasn't lived up to what I imagined for the place. It feels like the vendors are selling the remains of someone's garage sale, if I'm being honest. The food hall that was promised is sparsely occupied, but Bunnan is the one stand that keeps me from writing off this place entirely. Bunnan's whole deal is that they take jerked meats and serve them between two grilled pieces of plantain. I tried the jerk chicken one and the flavors were on point.The sandwich is not exactly large though for $15. But you're paying for the privilege of something that came out of my fever dream, and it totally works. Whenever I'm at the market, I skip the vendor stalls and make a beeling for Bunnan's stand. You'll have to wade through a sea of CDs and tshirts, but for this plantain paradise it's worth it.

First time trying Bunnan, I had the fried pork (griot) bunnan, it was delicious, tasty and fresh. Service and ambience is always lively whenever I visit. Worth trying it out. Great for lunch or dinner.

This place is just flat out . Bunnan can be found in the Caribbean Marketplace in Flatbush, NY. Think food hall. The food was delicious. The ladies working here were gracious and the atmosphere gives Afro Caribbean vibes. You are guaranteed to dance from the music or the food.-jerk chicken bunnan sandwich w/ salad - passion fruit lemonade

Bunnan is located at the back of Flatbush central market which makes it a laid back atmosphere where you can eat on the tables nearby. To make their sandwiches, they smash the plantains and each sandwich has caramelized onions, red cabbage slaw, pikliz and sauce. I absolutely loved the sweet plantain and the tenderness and flavors from the goat. what we ordered: sweet yellow plantain with pork $15 green plantain with tassot goat $23 passionfruit lemonade $6I love the sweet yellow plantain! The sweetness from the plantain contrasts well with the pork. Sweet and savory.Savory green plantain with goat was tender and well seasoned. the green plantain is a crispy texture whereas the sweet plantain has a softer bite.Slaw in the sandwich adds a lot more dimension to the sandwich and the salad balances the savory flavors well!Passionfruit Lemonade was refreshing but on the sweeter side.Overall I have to come back on the weekend to try their plantain waffles and pizza!! The cashier was helpful in explaining the menu options.

Ayisyen Approved I didn't go to their brick and mortar location but I would assume the quality is the same. On a warm Sunday, I finally had the chance to get the Griot and Plantain sandwich from the "BunNan" stand at Smorgasbord. It took less than 5 minutes, the staff was so friendly and after weeks of eyeing their stand, I am so happy I tried their food. They give you an option of sweet or green-plantain and I chose green. The griot was flavorful, and not too salty. I asked for extra pikliz (spicy, vinegar, and onion/carrot relish) and thanks to my mother, I am used to spicier. The sandwich was large and filling. I will definitely try it again and I rarely repeat meals at Smorgasbord. I recommend they have spicier pikliz for customers who want something more intense

One of the few dining options within Caton market. The prices are as to be expected which is around $15+. The sandwiches are not large and don't come with any sides. I enjoyed my mushroom sandwich although I did feel like it was not. It was flavorful nonetheless. The service was quick and there are shared seating options if you don't want to takeout. A good quick stop option.
