A local fast-casual Caribbean restaurant has plans to expand this year with a food truck and a brick-and-mortar location.
Husband-and-wife team Christian and Sabrina Dominique opened Manjay — the name is the Haitian Creole word for food — in 2019. Located inside the Citadel food hall in Miami's Little River neighborhood, the eatery offers Caribbean cuisine with a modern twist.
"Not to be biased, but I often say that Caribbean flavors are the best flavors out there," Christian Manjay tells
New Times. "My wife and I travel a lot in the Caribbean, and we are crazy foodies. In Miami, we felt there was something we could offer that would be different than what you typically see at a traditional Caribbean restaurant. Manjay is really a combination of our general love of modern cuisine and of the authentic Caribbean flavors we grew up eating. Nothing compared to the flavors of home."
