Awesome Haitian restaurant in Pearl River! Food quality and service are great. I'm a fan of the goat. Check the specials - if you go on Thursday or Friday you can get oxtail which is amazing. The rice with kidney beans have a delicious bold taste. They also have home-made and brand products for home use.

Tried on a whim as we wanted to pick up lunch after a ShopRite run. It's a small place with limited counter seating of 3 seats, but with a wonderfully cozy feeling. Wendy was exceptionally kind and let us, more importantly our children, taste several items prior to us ordering to ensure we were happy with whatever it is we ordered. Everything is exceptionally seasoned and absolutely delicious. We ended up ordering a chicken platter, a beef platter, and a side of the pumpkin soup for takeout. Plenty of food for a family of four with some leftovers to take to work the next day. We'll definitely be back soon as there's plenty on the menu we want to taste our way through such as the oxtail, goat, and jerk chicken.

I truly enjoyed my experience at Yolimart. It’s a Haitian restaurant that brings the authentic taste of home. The food is always fresh, well-seasoned, and prepared with care. From the moment you walk in, you feel a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable. The rice and beans were perfectly cooked, and the fried plantains were sweet and fresh. Everything tasted amazing and reminded me of real Haitian home cooking. The service was friendly and efficient, and the staff made sure everything was just right. If you’re looking for delicious Haitian food with great service, I highly recommend Yolimart. It’s truly a gem in the community!

I really like this place! Yolimart catered for me before, the food and the service are always amazing. I recently stopped by for lunch, and the service was great. The flavors took me right back home to Haiti — absolutely delicious! Also my spot to restock on Haitian peanut butter, Haitian chocolate, spices and of course pikliz.

Absolutely amazing experience! The food was delicious—authentic, flavorful, and made with love. The service was exceptional from start to finish, and the customer service truly stood out. The owner went above and beyond to make sure I received my food and was completely satisfied. She is super friendly, kind, and welcoming, which made the experience even better. What a wonderful Haitian restaurant with great food and an even greater heart behind it. Thank you, Wendy!

I’ve searched so long to find the chef from a Hatian food truck that I enjoyed many years ago! After all these years I still couldn’t forget about the flavor. I haven’t enjoyed authentic Hatian food since traveling to Haiti 10 years ago! After searching I’ve located the chef and she is making the most delicious food at Yolimart. If you want quality, tasty, clean food that makes you feel great afterwards.. look no further than Yolimart! Delicious and a great variety! I ordered: Hot chocolate Passionfruit juice Passion fruit cremas Potato salad Fritay with Beef Extra picklis I haven’t tasted the cremas yet. But from what I’ve tasted my very favorites from the order were the fried beef, ackra, sweet plantain, picklis, and the potato salad! Unforgettable!

I had an excellent experience at this Haitian Caribbean restaurant. The service was terrific, and the lady and the gentleman were super nice.The fish was fresh and flavorful, the rice was perfectly cooked and seasoned, and the kremas had a rich, authentic taste that truly stood out (Kremas Lakay ). Everything was well-prepared and full of flavor. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great quality Caribbean food!
