I was told Caribeyond has good Haitian food so I had to come see for myself. The location is tucked in a small plaza with plenty of parking. When you first walk in Haitian music is playing at a moderate level. The aromas of the food is amazing and the restaurant is clean. There are tables set up for small and large parties, and they even have a pool table. The cashier was welcoming, provided menus and answered all the questions I had. After a few minutes I decided to order the fried kabrit fritay. The dish came with pikliz (pickled peppers) fried kabrit (goat) , marinade ( fritters) and akra (a root vegetable yautia). I also got a side of diri blanc and sauce pois blanc ( white rice and white bean sauce). For my drink I went with Couronne. Haiti's brand of fruit champagne soda. Overall I'm rating 9/10. The rice and bean sauce could have been better but it wasn't horrible. The rest of the dish was so amazing. I also loved how their pikliz was not overly spicy and enjoyable with the rest of the platter.Definitely recommend. I know the restaurant offers cuisine from other countries on their menu, but this is primarily a Haitian restaurant so I would highly recommend ordering Haitian food. You will not be disappointed.

TL;DR - 3.5/5, Probably would make a good take-out meal This is one of the few places around Columbia/Ellicott City where you can find Caribbean food. The restaurant itself is a little hard to find, but there is plenty of parking available. Overall, the food is good although the service was a little slow - I'd actually recommend ordering take out ahead of time for the best dining experience. I got the jerk chicken platter, and curry chicken patty. I would have rather tried the beef patty, but they were unfortunately out of them. I would have personally liked a little more spice on the chicken, but the chicken was very juicy so it balances itself out. The curry chicken patty however, was a little disappointing. I didn't find that the flavors really came through the thick pastry as much as I would have liked, although it was still edible. Overall, while the food certainly isn't the best I've had, it's definitely above average. I certainly wouldn't mind coming here occasionally if I'm feeling like eating some jerk chicken

Aaaaawwww maaaaannn.... I really wish i'd've snapped you guys some pictures on my visit, because Caribeyond was super clean when I stopped in and all the staff was wearing their masks properly as well as were very pleasant and engaging with me. We opted for escovitch snapper and brown stew snapper for carryout, both of which were made hit and fresh and were worth the accurately quoted wait time. I enjoyed their macaroni and cheese and usually don't choose it as a takeout side item but theirs was really good, as was my cabbage and sweet plantains. There were a lot of bottled refreshments to choose from, while not so many desserts and the ones display did not look super freshly made so we passed on those, which was a good idea because the dinner entrees were devoured, lol. I found my food to be generously portioned and reasonably priced and would look forward to patronizing caribeyond restaurant again.
