I absolutely love the flavors of the food. The goat is a little bit dry. But it's not as bad as some other places. The rice is actually packed with flavor. The plantains were yummy a little dry. Good thing this all comes with a yummy sauce. I can use the sauce for the fried goat, the rice and the plantains. The only downside to this plate comes with pickled veggies but they were rotten . I could not eat them. Another downside is that when you walk in the restaurant, it does smell weird, a little off...But I would absolutely come back here flavor is on point!

Highland Cuisine doesn't disappoint with the food ever. I've actually tried to find a Haitian restaurant in Boston that rivals their dishes and nowhere compares. I've had practically all of the main dishes: fish, conch, fried chicken, goat, beef...I'm getting hungry writing this lol. If you're looking for "good customer service", by American standards, you may find that the approach is different here. The focus goes into the food. Although dine in option is available, they are mostly frequented by those with pick up orders. Consequently, the vibe is more aligned with a grab and go restaurant rather than a dine in, full service experience.

This is the best Haitian food in Massachusetts. I have only been inside once, but I have ordered pick-up from here dozens upon dozens of times over the past 5 years. My friends usually places the order and picks it up, so I can't speak to the customer service directly, but they have always been treated very well by the staff, and we typically call ahead and it takes 20-30 minutes depending on the day. My favorite is their Tasso Kabrit (Fried Goat), Diri Blanc ak Sos Pwa, avek Bannann Pizea. I like their Legume, Diri Djon Djon (Black Mushroom Rice, when available) and Pasta Salad as well. They have amazing Haitian Rhum Cake, and Kremas in season. Their prices vary, and you can get a small plate for $15 or a large plate for $20 and they're both extremely filling. I've never been dissatisfied with their food. Their plates come with a small house salad and Pikliz upon request. I've been lucky to experience many different meals from different households, as well as different Haitian restaurants across the East Coast. This place is simply the best that there is in the local community & state, and I hope they continue to stay open for a long time.
