Griot Dish

Aleken Griot Plate

the crown jewel of Haitian Creole cuisine

A succulent dish that will transport you to the heart of Haiti. Tender chunks of marinated pork are slow-cooked until they acquire a heavenly crispiness. The meat’s marinade, bursting with citrusy undertones, garlic, and fragrant herbs, infuses each morsel with an irresistible tanginess. This delightful concoction is then paired with pikliz, a fiery and zesty pickled cabbage slaw, which adds a delightful kick and a refreshing crunch to the dish.

The chicken dish in sauce is a true standout. This luscious creation showcases chicken bathed in a velvety sauce bursting with a medley of spices. The aromatic blend of thyme, cloves, allspice, and chilies creates a harmonious balance of flavors that dances on your tongue. Simmered to perfection, this dish is an absolute delight, leaving you craving more with every succulent bite.
