Caribbean Restaurants near Chillum

“I will say my first visit was decent with Kia and her service skills are absolutely fun while being helpful. I did not get the round ball that I ordered but I came out with a lot of food and drinks. However the LARGE Oxtails was very lacking on amount vs the price point and plantain is a separate purchase instead of a few pieces on the meal. The Akee and Saltfish had 2 or 3 dumpling underneath so very little ackee and Saltfish for that price. The Jerk Mac and cheese was on the almost stale side. I wasn't fond of their brand of Sorrel as it had a weird after taste. Didn't like either the fruit nor the other rum cake but those are not their fault as they are prepackaged options. The gentleman there was helpful in packing my huge order but sadly I won't be returning. Money spent there vs value was very lacking.

Parking: Decent amount of parking shared with other businesses in the strip shopping center“

“What a vibe. Highly recommend“

“Wow, after everything I have heard and the awards this place has received, I had high expectations. My TLDR is that some of those expectations were met, others were not.

I have been wanting to try Dogon for a while, my boyfriend finally got a res for my birthday dinner. The food was great, some of it was excellent (Ben’s Bowl, ugh that sauce!!), our server was helpful and met expectations, but I cannot look past feeling rushed during my dining experience with Dogon. Especially when the booking says to plan to be there for at least 2 hours, reservations are so hard to get, and the staff KNEW we were there to enjoy an occasion. Plates were being cleared while we were not done with dishes, or we still had food in our mouths. We felt rushed eating, we felt rushed to place an order, and pressured to order everything for the table at once. We were going to order a bottle of wine, but we felt there would not be enough time to enjoy it. In total we were in and out of the restaurant in an hour and 15 minutes for a full birthday dinner. I want to make crystal clear that our server was great, and this issue isn’t on one person. It is on the service team and their communication with the kitchen.

My dad was the head chef at one of the most popular restaurants in NYC for a long time, I know what is a reasonable expectation of a high volume, high end restaurant, and what isn’t. Pacing is something the restaurant is in full control of. Dogon should look into improving here. Even with this issue, I would still go back to try more of the menu.“

“Deliciosas empanadas y aperitivos con ese sabor Panameño que nos identifica y una atención excelente“

“Food and drinks… absolutely amazing!“

“I heard about the curry goat, so I had to try it. I think the owner took my order, she was very sweet. I order the curry goat, white rice, cabbage and plantains!! Delicious, everything was seasoned perfectly, large portion of goat and gravy. Recommending the goat, I will be back for other dishes.“

“Had a chance to eat at the Dupont Circle restaurant. The food was excellent. The portion was more than enough and the price for three people was very reasonable. I appreciate the staff and the recommendations that they had in terms of the different proteins and vegetables that were being offered. I decided to go with the jerk chicken bowl. The dish was one of the best jerk bowls that I’ve ever eaten.“

“Pastries, sweetbread ,bread,cassavapone and more“

“This place is great and fast and the barbecue rib, beef is the best! The no fat and best meat and the most seasoned. I don’t like pork ribs and they offer beef ribs. The best quality too! Grateful for the money spent, I have come back multiple times for it!“

“GOOD FOOD REMINDS ME OF BACK HOME ... NYC NAROC I ORDERED THE SHRIMP ROTI AND SOLO COLA ... VERY IMPRESSIVE TASTE“

“I tried the curry wings and ?️GOOD LAWWWWWDY MY LEGS GOT WEAK‼️ That HOMEMADE sauce will introduce you to LOVE! If you haven’t, this place is definitely worth a try. This spot is like the song you skipped and later found out it was fire?. When you bite into the wings you get a bold boost of flavor that rhythms through your body. Then we get to the spicy part that’s spicy but still enjoyable! Please Support Bleu Iguana, ITS WORTH YOUR TIME AND BELLY! ???“

“1. The food tastes amazing, always fresh & portions aren't skimpy. 2. Top notch Cust Srv that Wants Your Patronage (Ms. Linda is a gem). 3. The delivery is 25-30m. What else can 1 ask for from an establishment, I'm in love lol“

“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.“

“Food is great but I feel shorted on the oxtail portions, it’s precisely why I won’t leave a tip when I pick up carry out. I go based off the last order…if I feel shorted on the portions from the last order then I won’t leave a tip on my next order.“

“Friendly employees and delicious drinks“

Island Quizine Jamaican Restaurant is a true gem in Maryland. From start to finish, the customer service was nothing short of amazing warm, attentive, and filled with genuine island hospitality.

As a native New Yorker with real Jamaican roots, I’ve had my fair share of Jamaican food, but this spot truly stands out. The patty was hands down the best I’ve had in Maryland flaky crust, rich filling, and seasoned to perfection. It reminded me of home.

The curry goat? Absolutely incredible. Tender, well-seasoned, and cooked just right it fell off the bone and was bursting with authentic flavor. The jerk pork was smoky, spicy, and juicy, exactly how jerk is supposed to taste. Every bite was a reminder of how Jamaican food should be done.

Petrena deserves a special shoutout. From the refreshing sorrel to the sweetest mangoes, she delivered service with a smile and made the whole experience even better. She’s a star and really brought everything together.

If you’re looking for authentic Jamaican cuisine with top-tier customer service, Island Quizine is the place. They’ve earned a loyal customer in me, and I’ll definitely be back“

“The food here was above and beyond what I expected. Not that I thought it wouldn’t be good. Just didn’t expect the explosion of flavors from each dish I tried. I had the doubles and goat rice platter. I’ve never had doubles and curried goat with so much spice and depth of flavor before. Highly recommend this restaurant. The curry is amazing. Will definitely be back. Service is a little slow but they are a new restaurant so they gotta work out the kinks. Again, highly recommend.“

“I had oxtails, wings, Mac and goat! All of it was 👍🏿“

“I got the chance to visit dat jerk with my father recently. I gave him the option going to silver diner or dat jerk. It took a sec for us to get our bearings but we were overall pleased with the options we ordered. The restaurant was very clean and had large portions of food which I believe matched the cost of food. I loved the roti. The wrap itself complimented the flavors inside. I opted to get the sauce on the side which was not the play since it wasn’t enough. Definitely won’t make that mistake again. They had a friendly staff that helped to guide us through the menu. I definitely look forward to going back.“

“I had jerk sandwich and a piece of rum cake before shopping.Very delicious 😋“

“just want to say thank you to chef Dwight for an amazing birthday party the food was fabulous everyone love it and they like your stile it's not the regular jamaican food thank you.“

“Got some grub at the Eastern Market from their stand. They gave me a massive portion of goat meat and Jamaican jerk chicken, rice, and macaroni and cheese. Everything is delicious and they were so friendly! Standing out in the rain to serve people. Recommend!“

“Really enjoyed the chicken roti. Looks small but perfect portion. Can’t wait for you guys to come back to The Edition“

“The best restaurant in USA“

“The Food was super good and he was super nice and very cozy inside but the only problem I have is that I don't really like the hours he only works and on Saturday it says he was open he never was that's the only thing that's wrong and I wish he was open on weekends“

“Terrible customer service don’t waste your time“

“Imma hip you now, the tostone nachos with the shrimp *chefs kiss* and their spin on. Eggs Benedict is also good. Beautiful food that's looks just as good as ot tastes.

Kid-friendliness: During a certain time of day its family friendly. After 5pm it's still a chill vibe but remember adults don't give a jolly good damn bout your kids. I came to drink FINE DRINKS LIKE IM NOT IN DC??‍♀️“

“This establishment serves the most flavorful Jamaican and African cuisine in the area. Maryland, DC and Virginia hands down the BEST! Portions are plentiful and Susie is an amazing cook and great host. Very much worth the drive. Flavorful Flavor Flavor!! I'll keep coming back!“

“What a nice spot. I read the reviews and HAD to see if they were telling the truth… The Mac and Cheese was AH-mazing definitely NOT from a box! The Popeye smoothie was so good and refreshing. I also had a jerk chicken salad. Although just a salad it was still packed with delicious flavor. Jerk chicken patty was on point and super fresh. I will definitely be back for more!!!“

“If my husband could eat here every day he would as a native jamaican born in the county im just glad that he has something he could eat today he was suppose to go for the liver came home with smoke jerk pork escovich fish and the liver ate that and then said we going back for dinner lol he said today they were having a fish fry so might go back for more fish and liver. Im so happy he found a place that he loves takes the pressure of me lol. He just told me this the jamican food witch means alot comming from him cause over the years I have seen him buy food and throw it away as soon as he ate it. So thank you“

“Delicious meal. This woman Joan can cook. Everything was cooked to perfection, tender tasty. I ordered Egusi soup!!! She was kind and had great service too. It’s also one of the less expensive places I’ve seen. I’ll be gone my back today.“

“I love ❤️❤️ your tasty food.i will definitely come back again and again.You rock 👍“

“Well I ordered a beef roti and got a chicken roti. It still taste delicious but not what I wanted. The goat roti was everything. The pholourie was life!“

“Awesome food, great service & awesome energy!!!“

“Great food! Great customer service.“

“The veggie patties are great but the service could use a bit of fine tuning. A hello and thank you for coming in would have been great!! I like to feel some level of appreciation for spending my money somewhere. The two hour round trip drive makes this point even more impactful 👀👀👀“

“If you are in the area, please stop by and try the food! It is always freshly cooked and taste delicious! As with all good restaurants, sometimes there may be a delay because of other customers or food preparation but the food is most definitely worth the wait!“

“My first time, but definitely not my last. I was welcomed, at the door by an employee. The service was good, as was the food. The ox tails were exceptionally delicious and so very tender. I will be returning for more.
THANKS PARADISE ISLAND GRILL!!“
