Review by Anna Bashirian

Fritai is a delightful gem in New Orleans! 🌟 I visited for dinner and was impressed by both the authenticity and variety on the menu. I had the griyo with a zesty avocado lime sauce, paired with crispy plantain chips - so good! The vegan SOS PWA with flavorful tofu was another highlight.

The cozy, trendy atmosphere is enhanced by friendly staff and colorful Haitian decor. And don’t skip dessert! The sweet plantain crème brûlée was a revelation. Can't wait to return for more of those amazing vibes and dishes! 🍽️✨
