About Business

The idea for ZANMI started like many others - a love of community and a love of food. Several pillars of the Haitian community - from glamorous Manhattan bartenders and professional sous chefs, to moguls in local and international real estate - came together and thought, “Why not?”. Why not share our passion for food with the world? Why The idea for ZANMI started like many others - a love of community and a love of food. Several pillars of the Haitian community - from glamorous Manhattan bartenders and professional sous chefs, to moguls in local and international real estate - came together and thought, “Why not?”. Why not share our passion for food with the world? Why not expand our projects in Haiti to our home in NYC? And so we did.

Zanmi was started by a group of friends of varying professions in the service industry, and remains a tight knit group, advocating for food, friends, and family through service and cuisine. However, our goal is to use our platform to bring to light the voices of Brooklyn. Zanmi is hub for Haitian-American cuisine and most importantly community. Making connections means something to us - in fact the very word “Zanmi” translates to the word “friends”. Our neighbors success is our success. Together, we are stronger.

Covid-19 has shifted some of our projects but we are still taking orders and planning socially distanced events when safe and possible. In the meantime, order through all of our platforms (Grubhub, Seamless, Yelp, UberEats) or take a seat in our inviting outdoor spaces! Read More

Mission Statement

Zanmi in our sweet language of Kreyol simply means "friends". They said a man is known by the company he keeps. So, come be our friends. Zanmi in our sweet language of Kreyol simply means "friends". They said a man is known by the company he keeps. So, come be our friends.
