Friends have been telling me to try this spot out for some time. Well, I did and I like it. Olé is a restaurant and lounge serving up tasty Haitian meals and music with a full bar. Come for eats or chill vibes; you are guaranteed to leave feeling better than you entered. Located towards the back of an aged shopping center there is plenty of free parking available. Pricing is in line with most ethnic eateries. Numerous seating options available whether its at the bar, booth, table or elevated VIP area. Portion sizes are plentiful.

I’ve been coming to this restaurant for about 5 years now, and it has always been one of my favorite Haitian spots. I pretty much only order the fried turkey (tassot), and the flavor is still absolutely amazing. The seasoning, the crisp, the taste — they’ve definitely stayed consistent with quality. However, I’ve noticed over the past several months that the portion sizes for the turkey have gotten noticeably smaller. The number of pieces in each order has decreased, and sometimes the pieces themselves are much smaller than they used to be. At the same time, the prices continue to increase. I order from here at least twice a month, every month, so this isn’t just a one-time experience. I completely understand that food costs have gone up across the board, but it’s becoming harder to justify paying higher prices when the quantity — especially of turkey, which isn’t one of the more expensive meats on the menu — keeps shrinking. I still love the food and truly want to continue supporting this business. I just hope they can find a better balance between pricing and portion sizes because the quality deserves loyal customers.
Really disappointed. I ordered turkey and black rice, partner ordered jerk chicken and peas and rice. Becca took the order. I paid and picked up order to learn it was incorrect. We received over cooked griot and boiled chicken, and the rice was wrong. Called back , took pictures, and Becca apologized, said kitchen made the error and she’d get a manager for refund. No manager ever called and they’re not open during the business day. After a few days, I called to speak to a manager who offered me 25% of next order because I didn’t keep the food and Becca didn’t tell them it was a problem. Gross business practices. Had I used UberEats - how would food be picked up? Rock Steady is a much better alternative for a classy consistent Haitian meal. If patrons aren’t valued, then don’t patronize the business.
This place never is open consistently during the times that it’s supposed to be open, but when they are open, the food usually hits. I can’t believe recently they were listed as closed… Rumor has it that they didn’t pass inspection or something. I can’t imagine because I never saw any problems when I went inside. Hopefully they can get resolved whatever it is that they had going on and open back up. There’s not many Haitian food spots in Georgia that are good.
The ambiance is a bit dated and the word makeshift comes to mind. The tables are very unstable and the attempts at using napkins and other things as levelers failed. The server KC was very nice and informative. Great customer service skills. As I waited for the meal to arrive I never got comfortable because the place was freezing. When I mentioned it to staff they were unsure if the heat worked and asked upper management if it could be turned on. When the food came it was lukewarm. That was to be expected because it was freezing in the establishment. The fried swai filet lacked flavor, I recommend asking for Turkey gravy or hot sauce for some added flavor. My tequila sunrises was more sunrise than anything. I’m unlikely to come back or recommend to a friend. There was a person who refused to stop staring on the parking lot when I arrived. I literally drove off and came back with a friend because I didn’t feel comfortable walking in alone in the dark.
