Plant-Based Caribbean Restaurant, HAAM, Opens in Brooklyn November 15

HAAM, a plant-based Caribbean restaurant, is set to open in Brooklyn on November 15, offering dishes like Island Onigiri and Curry Mofongo. Chef and owner Yesenia Ramdass draws from her Dominican roots and husband Randy’s Trinidadian heritage to create a unique dining experience at HAAM, located in Williamsburg. Ramdass' journey towards creating HAAM began with her personal transformation to a meat-free lifestyle at 17, leading to the establishment of a thriving ghost kitchen in Queens.

The menu at HAAM reflects a fusion of tradition and innovation, offering dishes that showcase the diversity of Caribbean cuisine. The restaurant, designed by Melissa Anderson, features a blend of modern aesthetics and Caribbean charm, with a heritage wall and mural paying tribute to matriarchal figures. HAAM will be open for dine-in, takeout, and delivery services, welcoming guests to savor the essence of the Caribbean through mindful, plant-based eating.
