Jamaican Restaurants near Washington, DC

“I almost don't want to review it for fear of this hidden gem being overtaken by hype and becoming packed. However, it would be a disservice to not support the good people at Amen Cafe, so I will. This quaint, lowkey spot, tucked in the corner of Georgia Avenue and easy to walk by, is a MUST visit. The hospitality is unlike most cafes. They're attentive, kind, and make you feel secure in a home away from home feel. The Ethiopian coffee is some of the richest and boldest in the city, and if you want a huge wake up, get the ginger coffee. The fresh juice is refreshing and revitalizing, and always hits the spot. The pastries and sandwiches are solid as well, but by far if you're going to visit, get the Ful or Ful special, its a beautiful, rich spread that is my personal go to. I didn't even know I liked ful and now I'm hooked. I tried other cafes, no one in the city makes better ful than here. So yeah, I love my cafe, I hope it never leaves. Ameseghnalew“

“Soooo good! Ordered catering for a family event and from the first bite everybody wanted to know where the food was from. The jerk salmon, chicken and cabbage is amazing! The white rice.. no words!“

“I hard a curry goat with rice and peas. This dish is my favorite and no one should cook this sissy and get it wrong. I must say, it hit the right spot on every bite. Thank you 😊. Highly recommend that you eat at Spice restaurant. The rum cake was ever so delicious 😋. Thank you.“

“The food and service is exceptional..“

“The service at Negril Eatery located at 331 Montrose Ave, Laurel, MD20707 is the best. I rate this place a 10/10. I highly recommend this place for as you say well -seasoned food.“

“I’m really enjoying this place every time I eat the food here it’s it feels like it just came straight out of Jamaica! Very homie experience it’s just a little bit small in the interior! My wife and I are here in Oneday😍. I’ll plan on bringing my old springs and they’re all springs here too.“

“Absolutely the most delicious Ox Tail Stew!!! Honestly everything on the menu is awesome. 5 🌟 peeps.“

“Drove from Germantown to this restaurant and I was not disappointed. As soon as I pulled up and saw how the building looked, I knew the food was going to be bussing. I got the oxtail platter n it was so good. My son also said the jerk Mac and cheese was good. Customer service was also great 10/10“

“Best Jamaican restaurant I ever been to.“

“I’ve been going to Caribbean Superior since 2016. I’m a regular for their breakfast, patties, and soups. The food quality has remained solid. However their portion sizes are not consistent (and far as protein goes) and have become significantly smaller since May. It’s either raise the prices or make the portions smaller, but doing both is a little crazy and it makes it difficult to continue to be a patron here.“

“Definitely a great spot to eat yasss 10 all across the board💕💕“

“Great food! Great customer service.“

“Kingston Arbor Jamaican Restaurant never disappoints! The service is always friendly, and the food is consistently fresh and full of flavor. The jerk wings are, without a doubt, the best I’ve ever had – they’re tender, fall-off-the-bone delicious, and packed with flavor. The lunch specials are a fantastic value too. My only gripe is that although I earn points for my many purchases, I’ve been unable to redeem them since it seems the system hasn’t been set up yet. It’s a bit annoying, but it doesn’t take away from how great the restaurant is overall. Highly recommend!“

“I really enjoyed their jerk chicken. First of all it’s actually made on the grill. Second you smell it the moment you enter the parking lot. I get my grilled with the sauce on the side and it was perfect and authentic. Whoever said it was burnt and thought that pic was proof knows nothing about jerk chicken. Mine was super moist. I liked it and I recommend.“

“The food and staff are amazing!! Check them out!!!“

“Quick service, food is great.“
