I'm Soo Glad I decided to give this place a try. This Bar/Lounge changes the dynamics of not just Haitian food but Caribbean Food as a whole! Perfectly seasoned meat. And the place is nicely decorated and clean and does not have an awful lingering smell.I ordered the Fried Pork (Griot) with Black Rice, it also comes with veggies and fried Plantains. Ohh you can't forget to get the pickliz! Tambou just got themselves a repeat customer!

I was introduced to this spot by the beautiful waitress Mocha and I've enjoyed it both times I visited. The food was amazing too, both times! The second time I went there was a beautiful waitress with a short Caesar hairstyle, big hopped earring and red lipstick.. she was so sweet and made the best drink for me at the bar! The guests at the bar was also nice to me as well. I will definitely be back. I forgot that the DJ is on point on Fridays! He was so adorable when he came over to our table and asked if we had any requests ... he also wanted to know how he was doing.. love that! I also love the security staff! I felt like they would definitely protect me even though they have a smile. This is my spot now!

Hard but fair! After my first experience with this Tambou Lounge which was 11months ago I was highly disappointed. But went in there tonight and was highly pleased that they paid attention to the customer reviews and addressed the customer complaints! I ordered same plate but got different results and as I can write a negative review when on an issue I can also write a positive review when things change! Plate was perfect and they definitely give you what you pay for now! Money well spent tonight no question! It was never about the quality of the food here but quantity and now they are spot on! Thank you Tambou Lounge I will be back soon! Keep up the great work and customer service. It is greatly appreciated! Check the photo below !
