C & E Island Flavor Caribbean Restaurant

Food was flavorful and delightful. Service was great. Really enjoyed talking to the waiter about how the food is cooked. Highly recommend the ginger tea.

Tasty Haitian and Carribean food served hot and fresh. I enjoy the fried fish, oxtails and black rice. Check it out if you’re in the area.

What a modest little gem in Orangeburg for great Caribbean food.. We had fresh salad, three different types of rice, black beans, local dressings, plantains (real thing), conch and shrimp curry, pork and a surprise passion fruit smoothie.. and this was lunch !!!! This is real local Haitian/Caribbean food .. Chef came out and discussed all different options.. try the watermelon water very refreshing... very modest restaurant and price id perfect... we will be going back.. go out and try something new...

Food here is absolutely delicious. Homestyle meals cooked with a great deal of care and vim. Everything on the menu is excellent.

Here is my best shot at a little "beginners guide". Hadn't tried Haitian food before I ate here and now it's one of my favorites.

Lalo
Greens similar in taste to collard greens. The chef gets these brought in special from overseas. Seasoned and cooked down with meat to a texture that's like cooked spinach. I enjoy this dish's unique flavor. Not a bitter flavor but just something different. Hearty and flavorful with the shredded meat.

Legumes
Vegetarian option with eggplant, carrot, cabbage, special squash. Cooked and seasoned to a thick stew texture. I'm told it takes hours to get this dish right and it's delicious. I love eggplant, this is one of the best preparations I've ever tasted.

Fried Chicken or Fried Goat
This isn't deep fried but just has that crisp outside with seasoning. So not too heavy. Really moist throughout, flavor to the bone. Great thing to try if you're wondering where to start.

Bannann Peze
Fried green plantains. Basically tostones. Great snack, always made fresh. These come with every main dish. Served with pikliz.

Pikliz
Vinegary onion salad. Spicy with scotch bonnet peppers. Eat this on its own or add it to something. Good compliment to the fried dishes especially.

Rice and Beans or Black Rice
The rice is delicious. Seasoned rice, perfect fluffy texture with peas or lentils. Black rice has a little bit more flavor, flavored with mushrooms. Comes with your meal.

My first time ordering from this restaurant, I was very satisfied with the meal. However, the place could use a little TLC.
