Paradise Resto

After moving to this area three years ago, I learned quickly that there wasn’t much cultural diversity when it came to food. As someone who loves Haitian cuisine, I was excited to find a Haitian restaurant only 30 minutes away, especially since I was feeling homesick and didn’t want to cook. I called ahead, spoke with the owner/head chef, and looked forward to trying the place that evening. When my wife and I arrived, we did run into some confusion about the pricing. The online menu listed the griot platter at $20 and included griot, plantains, akra, and pâté kodé. I was told it came with a little rice, so I ordered an extra side. At checkout, the total was higher than expected. The staff explained that the online menu had not been updated and that the in-store pricing was correct. I didn’

Everything about this place was wonderful. The owners were beautiful and friendly. Very welcoming. I got the goat with black rice and lima beans. It was so good. I wanted to finish it but decided I wanted to enjoy it a second time. The prices were quite reasonable as well.

I absolutely love Haitian food because it instantly takes me back south to Little Haiti! The dishes here are really tasty, with generous portions that aren’t overwhelming. I especially love the green plantains and the griot!! One thing to keep in mind is the pricing and service. When you meet the chef, he’s incredibly welcoming and friendly, which makes the experience even better. The lady who helps him seems a bit more reserved, but that didn’t take away from the meal. Also, I would recommend asking about prices before ordering. Some items are considered add-ons, and a few prices can change, so it’s helpful to clarify ahead of time. Overall, a great spot for delicious Haitian food in Lake Wales!

This is the most amazing Haitian food that I have had since I reached central Florida. This place offers amazing food and superb service. I will definitely be back with all my family and friends. Yall tried the rest now go try the best. You won’t regret it.

The food here is so good! The owners are super friendly. I would've posted a picture of my food but I demolished it. I always get the fried turkey, (either rice is good!). My only complaint is I'm a spice girl and I need a bigger container of pikliz because its so good!
