Iliana's Bar Lounge

I found my Haitian restaurant in Northern Queens at Iliana's Bar Lounge. This place is a rare gem in the midst of a sea of Spanish restaurants. In Northern Queens, you'll find a bunch of great Spanish restaurants, but if you're looking for new flavors, a different vibe bringing the culinary arts of Haiti & the Caribbean, check out Illiana's. FYI if you are familiar with College Point Queens, than you know parking is a nightmare. There was a dedicated parking lot two or three blocks away from restaurant. Let's talk about the food 😋.

This restaurant has been on my list to try. Happy I finally I got to pay a visit. The food was freshly prepared and flavorful, really enjoyed the Acra and Pwason (fish) with sauce. I appreciate the Diri Djon Djon being a sufficient amount to eat with the food. Overall, great customer service, nice music, and chilled vibes. Will definitely come back again soon.

1st time going. My friend saw the advertisement on IG. What a great surprise to get real haitian for that was so we'll seasoned in College Point! Every thing was absolutely delicious! The goat taso was top tier. I took an extra plate home. I had the stew chicken seen in the photo. So good! For appetizers we had the yropical shred and the boulette - really as delicious and seasoned as something my mom would make. I had the hibiscus run punch and Loretta, our waitress, gave me a small sample of the voodoo punch. Maaaannn... all I can say is fresh fruit juices made both so refreshing and tasty. I'll be back much sooner than later to try out the other dishes!

And after relocating from Florida my husband who’s Haitian and I’m trini was looking for a very good sit down Haitian restaurant and I decided to try Lliana’s since the reviews were very good and we did want Haitian food that taste like American food . So the The Verdict is in . From the time you walked in we were greeted with a welcoming smile and seated. I ordered the spicy margarita for my birthday drink it was delicious, for dinner I had the Poison En Sauce ( fried red snapper in sauce)and the black rice, my husband had the Legume with meat of his choice with white rice and beans, my daughter had the Griot ( fried pork) sauce on the side with rice and peas, my son had the Chimichurri vegan burger eithe

Intimate and cozy restaurant with friendly staff! Staff were friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious, generous portions and well worth the price! The drinks were tasty and strong! Loved the rum cake! Will definitely be back, support this establishment! 🇭🇹
