Absolutely delicious! Warmed our bellies on a cold night. So happy we found Magela’s on UberEats. Will definitely have to visit in person one day. 🙏🏾

★★★★☆ 4.0 Jasmine Philippe · Dec 2025

This is more of a takeout spot. There are a few chairs where you can sit but it’s a pretty small venue. The wait time was long and they were busy but the food was AMAZING! So flavorful and truly authentic Haitian cuisine. They have variety in the menu and tons of items to choose from with photos so you can see what it looks like before you order.

Food is really good. They sell KREMAS which is delicious. My only problem is that they are calling it Coquito and putting coquito labels on the bottles. I need us Haitians to be proud of our culture and stop giving credit to other Hispanic cultures. As a Haitian-American that is extremely proud of her roots, this is very unnerving. Please change the name to Kremas. We can’t demand respect if we don’t respect ourselves. I will come back and order more bottles- if they change the name on the bottles to Kremas, I will gladly change my 4 star review to a 5-star. Because they food is great and the hospitality is fantastic.

I love the food! This is the best Haitian food in NJ. I had only one issue with my DoorDash order, but it won’t stop me from always ordering here. I also tried calling the restaurant, but the call didn’t go through. Despite that, I still felt compelled to give a 5-star review because they truly deserve it!

★★★★★ 5.0 isabella juan · Dec 2025

I made it my favorite now because the staff is nice and the food is good. I just wish the time wait would be shorter because I hate spending my time waiting for a food when I already ordered through the phone. Another point please you put too much pork on the legumes,last time I bought legumes there was no beef, no crab only pork
