👍👍 Tiny storefront with very little seating, they serve delicious Haitian food on a rotating schedule. We loved crispy pork, the fried plantains, and the black rice. Authentic and wonderful! People often mention rice, fried, good, restaurant, Haitian, plantains, time, service,

    A group of us went there for lunch and it was really good. Not much room to sit down. The ladies were very nice and accommodating. Simple menu which makes choosing what to eat very easy. I'm want to go back again for the fried fish.

    I took my family here for the first time based on the recommendation of a friend. I found the saus pois to be thick and savory, the Taso Kabrit was flaky, well seasoned and cooked well. The fried plantains weren't just tasty but we're surprisingly light on the stomach. 10/10 my family and I will be back again soon. My friend advised me to call well ahead for the Taso kabrit, it is not a dish served often due to cost. Service is warm, personal and charming. It is a refreshing change of pace after being disappointed at so many other restaurants.

    This is one of the only Caribbean restaurants in this general area and I am sooo glad its here. As some who who grew up eating carribean food and doesnt live close to the city where most of the restaurants of this kind are, Eating this food makes me feel at home. It is authentic, the owner is very sweet and the customer service is amazing. I have been here before but not since COVID and all I have to say is this place is worth a try and I had to let yall know about it. My favorite is the griot (fried pork) with diri kole (rice and beans). It also comes with bunnan peze (fried, smashed plantains) as well as a delightful sauce and pikliz (spicy pickled cabbage). The presentation is amazing and the taste is emmaculate. The prices are also very fair. Cant wait to go back!!

    This is a nice, clean, cozy Caribbean restaurant serving up authentic Haitian cuisine. The owner is passionate about food and likes to cook and serve people. The passion translates great tasting food, to service, atmosphere, and the overall presentation. The food is very tasty and flavorful; everything is prepared fresh everyday. Whether you dine-in or carry-out your meal, everything is meticulously presented and/or packaged. The prices are competitive and service is great. The meals are worth every penny!

    A tiny hole in the wall, this Haitian restaurant offers large taste despite its small quarters. I ordered the pork griot which came with plantains (very yummy!), rice and beans, pikliz (a spicy condiment), all for a very reasonable price. I can’t wait to try other items on their menu.

    Meal-of-the-day carribean restaurant. Happened to get the beef stew. Inuded carribean root vegetables, dumplings and beef with a side of Mac and cheese. The food was delicious and flavorful, it was rich without feeling heavy. One order was big enough for two people.

    Owner is very polite, welcoming and attentive. Their food is delicious and reminds me of food back home in my country. I've been here multiple times and enjoy the food every time.

    My friend and I went to Oasis today looking for some real Caribbean Cuisine and Oasis did NOT disappoint. Best Haitian food I have ever had outside of my mother’s cooking. Great vibe. Small little restaurant but it feels like home. 12 out of 10. We also met the owner, Ercie (I hope I got her name correctly) and she was a really sweet woman who actually loves what she does. She made sure our food was perfect and kept checking in on us despite her phone ringing nonstop by customers placing their own orders. She also had repeat customers of all races/ethnicities come in while we were there telling us how much they enjoy the food at Oasis as well. It’s a small place so it’s more like take out but you will not be disappointed.

    They were able to accommodate a large catering order that was ready on time and incredibly delicious! Well worth giving them a try you will not be disappointed. This was my first time but I will be a repeat customer!

  • 5/5 Kara M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place! They were able to accommodate us to order food before they even opened. When we went over to pick up the food the lady opened extra early and the restaurant was big enough to accommodate two wheelchairs. We ordered the chicken meal and we were asked what we wanted to add to the meal. They were very courteous, with wonderful customer service. Thank you from UCP!

    Got plantains for an app and it was good. I liked the sauce they gave us to dip it in. We also got the fried pork with rice and beans and the chicken with rice and beans. Both were seasoned and cooked to enjoyment. The owner came out to see if we enjoyed our meals. They only have a few tables, so you're likely to get takeout during busy hours. Very casual environment and not for large dine in groups. Will definitely be back.

    Don't blink or you will miss this small storefront gem. If you are looking for homemade taste and plentiful portions made authentically, please try Oasis! The menu is small but perfectly balanced. If, like me, you don't eat Caribbean food often, the proprietor will guide you through the options. Although there are a couple of high top tables, I would recommend take out.

  • 5/5 fabyd l. 1 year ago on Google
    The food is really good, chef's kiss, unfortunately there's some items that they no longer have. The service is top, the owner is very amicable, especially from a Haitian restaurant (Caribbean people if you know, you know) a bit too pricey so it's a splurge kind of moment when I eat there.

  • 5/5 Tatiana D. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was so good. I brought Grio and Bouillion and that both hit the spot. And I don’t work too far I’m so excited to eat there again.

  • 5/5 Tamara R. 3 years ago on Google
    My 5 star go to Haitian take out. Food is really good, portions generous, staff friendly. Only place to get lalo on a regular which is nice alternative to legume. Never had a bad meal or experience. 2 thumbs up.

    Amazing place of business. I can’t be thankful enough for the wonderful ladies that blessed me last night. I was running late for a party that I was supposed to prepare rice for, but I didn’t have time. I stumbled across this place & told the ladies my dilemma & they blessed me with not only a pan of rice, but also plantain, bean sauce, pikliz, and sauce for the rice. It was super affordable & The food was amazing!!!
