REVIEWS
The food is homey and affordable, and those new to Haitian food could not ask for a better introduction. True to the cuisine, Kombit's kitchen coaxes flavor out of root vegetables, perfumes dishes with whiffs of nutmeg and clove and excels in fried seafood, which comes with the sinus-clearing piklis
-New York Times
Kombit is a beautiful restaurant with an extremely imitate and welcoming vibe. The restaurant is small but comfortable with a full bar.The Haitian paintings on the wall just adds to the nice visual. I’ve been to that restaurant on many occasions……If you’re ever in Brooklyn, don’t forget to check out Kombit Restaurant located on Flatbush and Prospect Place. Ask for Pascale or Marie and tell them Opa Mizik sent you.

Few NYC restaurants are devoted solely to this Caribbean nation’s specialties, but Kombit, on the border of two Brooklyn neighborhoods, has the country covered. The menu features typical dishes such as lambi (tenderized conch in a stew of carrots and tomatoes), riz djon djon (wild rice mixed with black mushrooms) and poulet en sauce (baked chicken in a tangy tomato gravy). Kombit is owned and operated by three expat sisters—Denise, Pascale and Maryse—who’ve made sure that the atmosphere is just as down-home as the cooking.

This slightly upscale place still serves lambi, the fricasseed conch generally conceded to be the national dish, which has been in short supply in Haitian restaurants lately. The red-sauced crustacean is indeed impressive, flecked with peppers and onions and tender as all get out. Cabrit, too, excels—goat tidbits yanked from the bone and fried like confit—as does poisson grand sel, a red snapper rubbed with sea salt and steamed. Entrées arrive with rice and peas and rounds of twice-fried plantain. The "don't miss" starter is the oblong yautia fritter known as akra, reminding you of the African antecedents of Creole cooking.
-Village Voice
Kombit Kreyol's menu offers a wide variety of delicious choices. I eat here regularly and love the lambi legume - one of the best I've had! The cocktails are excellent too! One thing to note, when there is a band, it can be difficult to hear your friend across the table. Definitely check this place out!
