Review summary

What guests say about Restaurant Makasi

Reviews are mixed, but several customers say the food is very good, with tasty dishes and a nice dining experience. However, service is often mentioned as a weak point: long waits, poorly handled orders, and sometimes rude reception. Some also find the prices high for the portion and the experience received. If you go, it’s best to be patient and go mainly for the quality of the food.

For a buffet on Sunday, we were very disappointed with the quality of service. The slowness and the buffet that was to be served by the employees on a single plate. It was my first time and I don't think I'll go back because for the same bill the service elsewhere would be excellent. Thank you.

Brutally overpriced, and the takeout portions are a joke. I gave it a second chance, but ultimately decided I’ll never set foot there again. The food is good, but the constant feeling of being taken advantage of financially is something I can’t tolerate. I’m always willing to support Black-owned businesses, but unfortunately, some of them let you down by charging prices that feel completely out of balance with the experience they provide.

Interesting place. The food is definitely different. The most "normal" dish was plantain poutine, which was excellent. The other dishes I cannot remember the names but everything was good and it definitely was food I had never experienced before. A bit slow and the big TVs were playing old American videos ( M. Jackson etc) and the videos were glitching...over and over again.. otherwise it would have been 5 stars. I would definitely go back

I went with my family for lunch, and we were really excited to try the food. The food itself is good, and that’s definitely a highlight. That said, the service was quite slow. Our server she was kind but it felt like there might be a lack of training when it comes to customer interaction and overall service flow. I also found the prices to be a bit high for the experience. Because of that, I don’t think I’d return for dine-in. However, I might consider takeout in the future. Overall, good food, but the service and pricing made the experience less enjoyable.
