Manjay - Miami

Absolutely delightful! I had heard wonderful things about Manjay Restaurant and noticed it nearly every day while driving past The Citadel on my way home from work. A friend and I decided to give it a try. He ordered the traditional Haitian dish, griyo, while I chose the coco loco shrimp; we both enjoyed rice and beans, plantains, and pikliz. I highly recommend the conch fritters; they are the best we've ever tasted! The pikliz added a fantastic kick that spiced up the meal perfectly. Both the service and food were outstanding. The Citadel has a great atmosphere with a diverse menu to choose from. Manjay Restaurant is a hidden culinary gem that you definitely don't want to overlook.

Absolutely delicious! We visited today and already can't wait to return. We tried the mofongo appetizer, which was fantastic, along with the Coco Loco shrimp and the avocado toast. We would gladly order everything again!

This Caribbean restaurant is anything but traditional! Their tagline, "modern Caribbean cuisine," truly reflects the dishes they serve. The flavors felt more like a fusion of different cuisines, which might be influenced by the Caribbean's diverse culinary heritage from colonization. For instance, the Jerk Chicken paired with coconut rice had hints of Asian inspiration, leading me to feel as if I should be eating it with chopsticks. It wasn't the classic Jamaican jerk chicken I grew up with, which is usually rich in spices and slow-cooked over a fire or grill. Instead, this version was breaded and reminiscent of a Caribbean twist on General Tso's chicken. Despite that, the food is of high quality and prepared fresh daily, made only when ordered. The bowls come with two sides, providing a generous portion and great value. I also noticed that these dishes have a bit of heat, which might be a consideration for those who are sensitive to spice. Overall, your taste buds will thank you for taking them on this flavorful journey!

Literally the only place I eat at citadel. SO SO GOOD.Highly recommend the jerk chicken bowl, add plantains and curry veggies.Next time I’m getting the wings too!!

Food was amazing. The jerk chicken bowl provides two sides which was perfect value for money. Music in the place was a bit loud tho and for to buzz you when the food is ready they ask for your phone number which I’m not super fond of either.
