I would like to start by saying this is not my first time visiting sweet sweet kitchen. I am a returning customer when sweet suite 1st open they had one chef and two servers then I would say 10 out of 10. At this time, I would say they have some work to do on Thursday, August 7 I decided to stop by and get some food for lunch. I first noticed that they were closed but they were supposed to open at 11 o’clock so I asked do you know when you guys will be open they told me five minutes I waited five minutes, not long five minutes turned into 25 minutes. I decided not to get anything because by the time I do get something I won’t be able to eat and enjoy because my break was over. I had to head back to work Friday, August 9. I decided to come again for lunch. They was not open. I waited 30 minutes they open, but I didn’t decide to get food because I was upset and I want time to enjoy my food, not have to rush so I can’t get back to work on time. I save this to say I am very disappointed in sweet sweet kitchen and I will not return to them Again.

I have eaten from here plenty of times 0n 7/12 / 25 . The oxtails was tough and no taste in the Cassava leaf taste terrible. I called the place and told them that I was not satisfied that the food tastes awful. The young lady said what do you want me to do?

Very underwhelming. I was referred by a friend of mine to try this place because he knows I love Jamaican food. Of course it’s Nigerians trying to make Jamaican food here so that was my first sign not to trust it. I should’ve ordered the other African food items because the Oxtail and rice was not nearly as good as Jerk At Nite up the street on H street. Definitely needs more all spice or browning but the flavor wasn’t like the Jamaican flavors I’m used to. I’ll give them a try in the near future but I wouldn’t recommend any Oxtail or Curry from these guys. I understand everyone wants to be a chef these days but PLEASE… stick to what you are used to and be great. This place advertised like they are Jamaican and they are not.

I have patronized this establishment for about 3yrs and the food has gone down. When say down I mean ground level. What's really going on in there? Who is doing the cooking?

This place use to be a five star. Recently they got new people who don't give much food other than rice. The food isn't good enough to pay $20+ for a scoop of cabbage 5 scoops rice a scoop or scoop and half of meat and juice to go over the rice. I feel this place is truly starting to become a joke. Jerk @ night is 2 min up the road and better all around quality, quanity, and service. Hopes this helps yall!

Not gonna pretend Everytime I've been it's been a 10/10 meal but the food is great and I've been to a lot of different places serving the same food .every establishments has issues but 1/5 rating sounds personal honestly even if they weren't the most attentive they got what I asked for

The owner let us sample several dishes. She was so nice and hospitable. She even offered my friend water because my white friend couldn't take the heat. I am actually craving their food again and will go back soon! The casava leaf is so good!
