Wow, I ordered the full chicken and their rice The pairing was so good and filling, it was perfect combination and priced right too. Definitely will be ordering again and best part is that it is halal! So grateful to have halal options in town 😋 love promoting local restaurants
The food is amazing! The chicken was delicious...tender and so flavorful. We had rice and plantain on the side. Both were very good. The chef brought is some donuts for dessert which were tasty too. I will go back!
I drive a long way to eat. They have The best best best chicken and Ribs!!! Very fresh flavor! And the hot sauce is amazing as well! The owner also gave me some spring rolls for free, very delicious! I will definitely re-visit and highly recommended!
Just found out that this hidden gem exists. Ordered 1/2 Chicken. It was absolutely amazing! The smoky char flavours complement the spices with perfection. We ordered some beignets as well. Wish I had ordered more. Will def be coming back often and will be trying everything on the menu.
It was my first experience eating food from this culture. As soon as I got in the restaurant, I knew I would enjoy it. It smell so good. . We were served by the owner and she was really really sweet. We asked her to bring us the dish she recommended with side dishes to taste. She was as excited as we were to try something new. If you want to really enjoy it, make sure you have time and you won't be disappointed, far from it. I had the chicken with the plantain, it was really delicious. I also tried a vegetable dish but unfortunately I can't remember the name, but it was very good too. My friend had the rice and it was also very good.
We wanted to try something different than we usually go for so we decided to try some African/Caribbean food. We ordered the half chicken and rice. The chicken was full of flavour with great smoke flavour. My fiancé loved it. The rice unfortunately fell short for me - there wasn’t any flavour to it. I added some Goya (salt) and it was much better. This is a family owned business - mom in the kitchen and son at the front of the house. It was super quiet when I went in to pick up food on a Friday. This place defiantly needs more love and marketing. The food and service is great.
Wow! Mind blowing food and amazing workers! I have a lot of allergies and they were so thorough and made sure all allergies were avoided. The charcoal chicken had so much depth and flavor. The vegetable dishes ( not sure of the name) were phenomenal. Excellent portions. They pour love and time into their food, give them at least an hour during peak times. You won’t be disappointed!
The chicken is soooo good and very well-seasoned!!! 🤤 Truly a gem in Rockland ❤️ Additional review: SOOO.. I just came back to try their cassava leaves dish (pondu?) and their salted fish.. they are both really good!! Definitely will keep coming back to this place 🤤❤️
Food is really good ! but the problem is it takes for ever to get your order, terribly slow, 2 times and still the same,
Amazing food. A little spicy but chicken, ribs and chevre (goat) was awesome!!
Great service and good food, chicken and plantins were amazing. Stop by and give it a try. Its worth it
ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS !! We took the chicken , rice , spinach ,fries , samousas and donuts. Everything was divine ! Chicken cooked to perfection and very tasty . Samousas crusts is thin and crunchy, the filling is spicy but not too much , just the perfect amount of spice ! The donuts are to die for !!!! As soon as you come through the door, Christine the owner ( and cook), welcomes you with a sweet smile and her warmth just put you at ease instantly. You can see she s passionate about what she does and really cares about her customers. Definitely will go back regularly!
Neat and good food
WOW! We saw this new company and decided to try the chicken cooked on charcoal, and we can say that it is the best chicken we have tasted. The chicken was cooked to perfection, it was juicy, very spicy, and excellent. We also have rice and plantain accompaniments, excellent too. My wife loves spicy sauces, and she was served with a really spicy homemade sauce prepared by the chef that she loves. So dont be fooled by the appearance of this little treasure in our beautiful city of Rockland because it is an excellent place to try new culinary degustations. We are now customers of this new place and our next order will probably be the ribs. Well done to the chef.
This is the best African chicken Ive ever eaten! The owners are very nice and all the food was delicious and fresh. I highly recommend!
A sparse place for eat in, really not set up for that, but the food.... Slap your mama good! I forgot how good BBQ can be if you forgo propane and actually charcoal grill your food... I am getting rid of my propane grill and buying a proper grill this weekend!!
Visited this little hidden gem this evening for dinner. We wanted to try multiple dishes (chicken, goat, plantain, kwanga and pondu), although the wait was longer than expected, the friendly service and the FOOD was worth the wait. The portions were generous. Everything here is made with love. Will definitely be eating here again.
Chicken was delicious
Very friendly service, amazing fresh food.
The half chicken and salmon with rice are delicious! My house smells so good everytime I order takeout from here The staff is also super friendly.
Excellent food and service! We ll be back for more on a regular basis for sure!
Last nights dinner at the HaloChef was a delightful journey through the vibrant flavors of the Caribbean! The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, making you feel like youve stepped into a little tropical haven. The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, recommending the perfect dishes for our table. I ll definitely be back soon!
Rockland is so fortunate to have this new restaurant. It is the best chicken you ll ever have. The nicest people you ll ever meet. A must try.
Welcome to Rockland! Amazing chicken, rice and plantains! The chicken was so flavorful and juicy, with an authentic BBQ taste! Large portions and reasonable prices. The owners are welcoming and super friendly and took time to explain the dishes. Can t wait to try everything on this menu!
Awesome service and most importantly awesome food! Everything was so delicious! Chicken, rice, salad, donuts.
Excellent chicken with a little bit of kick in it
We had Halo Chef for the first time tonight, and have to say it was fantastic. We had the chicken, with Rice, Goat, and Kwanga. This restaurant will be a welcome addition to the Rockland restaurant scene. Welcome to the neighbourhood. We are already looking forward to our next visit.
Food is great very tasty recommend it
This place is the real deal, if youve ever tried Ofal chicken in ottawa, this place is better. 10/10 could not recommend more.
We tried out Halo Chef for the first time on a weekday night. We wanted to try out as many of their dishes reasonably for two people and got the half chicken, goat meat, plantains, yellow rice and beignets for take out. It was a lot of food but every single dish was delicious. The highlights were the chicken for me, the goat meat for my husband and we both loved the plantains. I would not hesitate to order from here again and recommend everyone give this new place a try.
Food amazing
