Alez Haitian Cuisine

Saddens me to write this cause I want my people to win, but at this point, Alez is embarrassing Haitian cuisine to be selling this mess.I bought a large diri kole pwa rouge ak koden (rice and peas with fried turkey) and the rice was soooo dry and tasteless. The turkey was ok but it wasn't the most flavorful as it usually is. My red flag was the sauce! Before paying I held it and asked them if this is the sauce they make and they said yes- but it was just the broth from the meat they cooked. They either poured it directly into the cup or attempted to make a sauce with it and tomato paste but failed miserably. Haitian cuisine is like no other and this restaurant continues to get more terrible overtime. I've been eating here since 2015 and the food taste is currently at its worst. I wasted $14 because I could only eat like 4 bites of it- I lost my appetite for the whole day and gotta reset my taste palette. Im gonna have to either re-cook/re-vamp it or just take my L and throw it out.The last management made tolerable food to eat when you crave Haitian food but Kreyol Delight is closed or something, this new management is just terrible. I should've drove the extra mile to KD-- never am ever eating here again.

One of the very best food experiences in FL. Perfect Haitian food. Amazing. The Beef with Legumes (Veggies) is perfection, esp because of the eggplant. But everything they make is damn good.I didn't even realize that I was in love with Haitian food until I came to Tampa. I thought I was only in love with Barbie. I thought I was going to have to get down to Miami (sort of like I get down to Kool & The Gang) to try the really amazing Caribbean and Latin food... but I found some great versions of them up here in Tampa, and this was at the very top of my list.This remains the best Haitian food I've ever had, even now that I've tried the best ones in Miami (half a dozen of them, in fact), and several in other parts of the country.We're talking about some of the most miraculous food you'll ever eat. It's not dirt cheap but it's not expensive and portions are huge. You'll be addicted as soon as you try those legumes, rife with eggplant, which are the number one dish for me. But absolutely everything they make is off the charts beautiful.It would be my first destination for food when I come back to Tampa, and not just for the perfect food but for the beautiful murals on the wall and for the wonderful service as well. He was so curious and tickled about how I found his place, but I'm so glad that I did.This is yet another example of how wonderful Yelp can be when it's done right and used right. Haitian food is "of the Gods" (as the Greeks would say) (in Greek) (OK fine I made it up) and probably my favourite from the Caribbean, and this is the ultimate Haitian food place.If I could give 10 stars, I would. Come here immediately when you are in Tampa and get the legumes and whatever else you want. You will be as thrilled as I was.In fact, it's so good that:You'll thank all Haitians for their IMMIGRATIONYour neither regions will produce LIQUIDATIONWhich can be used for natural LUBRICATIONAnd help you achieve food SATIATIONIt's the best, and that's not a false ALLEGATIONTop food in Tampa, it receives my NOMINATIONIt makes me and Barbie practice PROCREATIONWe enjoy it as much as PENETRATIONAs much as a sub enjoys SUFFOCATIONAs much as Barbie oft inflicts STRANGULATIONAs much as a bad employee enjoys INSUBORDINATIONIt causes her underwear to endure SATURATIONAs much as J-WOWW's hotter than the SITUATIONAs much as our pictures threaten SANITATIONAnd cause random acts of MASTURBATIONCome straight over to ALEZ HAITIAN!WHAT

Time says they close at 10 PM on Saturday. Also says that on their door. However, it is 8:56 PM on a Saturday and they are definitely CLOSED.

First time here! Stopped by for some Haitian food on their Independence Day. Kreyol Delight wasn't open for their normal hours so I went with what I thought was the next best option. I wanted the oxtail but they didn't have it so I opted for the griot and rice. It was overall a solid meal but I feel like the griot was fried a little hard and was kind of missing that crispy outside but soft in that the dish is known for. The rice was very good. I was a little sad that the dish wasn't served with plantains for the price. All in all, I'd definitely return in a pinch. The staff was nice and the place was clean. I wish the menu had a few more options available but what I got was decent. I'd call ahead if you're deciding to go.

As a pregnant lady- sometimes I just want a taste of home and this fits the bill! Looking for reliable Haitian food, this is your place!

This Caribbean Cuisine wine Caribbean attitude. The restaurant menu do not have much to select but I do like their Oxtail. According to their name they are Haitian cuisine. I have the Oxtail and my wife has fried chicken. Their chicken is fried to very crispy. The chicken tasty. It can come with island spice stew. I am the fan of oxtail. It cook with island spice in slow braise. The meat is separated from the bone. I like the island marinated sauce. It must has a lot ingredient in it. This dishes has a choice of side. It come with plantain and I also choose the mushroom rice. It has dark long grain rice. I like this rice very much. If you come to Caribbean, the time is not matter. As a result, you need to wait for your food to be ready. As I said before. The Caribbean attitude slow and easy.

This was my first time ordering a Haitian food from here. Very pleasant customer service,cute little place. The only downside to me is they do not put enough meats..plates have mostly rice and as you can see only few pieces of meats but I must admit the food is delicious!!! I just wish it would be more meat per portions

Dirty, all u can smell is old burnt fryer oil...had to go outside as eyes were burning and my clothes and hair were permeated with greasy smoke. People laying on booths, girl at front scratching her weave.... No more pick ups there ‍

I got the fried chicken and fries 5.00 special-better than expected / they didn't understand my english over the phone and just hung up on me- Haitians seem to have a certain attitude (rude)

Everything the food, the ambiance and service. I visited this place I had 2 griot and plantains. The griot was hard to bite on and had no taste. Definitely, it was not Haitian food. The place had a funny smell. They were rude and no time for customers. I will not recommend this restaurant to anyone.
