50 Best Caribbean Restaurants near College Park

“They say: Good things come to those who wait! It was an exceptionally long wait, but, also the best authentic Jamaican cuisine that I’ve encountered in MD thus far.“

“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“

“I visited Dōgon on June 24th, located within the Salamander Hotel in Washington, DC. The ambiance was exactly what I expected—warm, sophisticated, and distinctly urban chic.

While the pricing is on the higher end, the Afro-Caribbean cuisine more than justified the investment. From the moment we arrived until the conclusion of our meal, both the food and service were exceptional. Despite a full house of guests, the staff remained attentive, professional, and engaged throughout the dining experience.

If you’re looking for a distinctive and elevated dining experience in the DC area that showcases Afro-Caribbean flavors, Dōgon delivers. The combination of outstanding cuisine, impeccable service, and refined atmosphere makes it a destination well worth visiting.“

“What a vibe. Highly recommend“

“Food and drinks… absolutely amazing!“

“This place was recommended and I am so glad we tried it. Healthy food. So many options. I ordered the Jerk Mango Salad. I didn’t change a thing and wouldn’t. Perfect kick without being too spicy. Mango salsa was the best I’ve had. We also ordered the BBQ bowl. I wouldn’t change a thing in it. Try the Red Rice. It’s really good. Staff was quick, explained the menu and ordering process and also offered a taste of you weren’t sure you’d like something. 10/10. I’ll be back again.“

“I used this restaurant to cater my Moms 92nd Birthday celebration. I first encountered the owner Hewston Rodney when I phoned the restaurant and he was great to speak with. I shared what we wanted and he put together a meal for us that was amazing. The food was excellent, we had the curry chicken, stew chicken, jerk wings, oxtail, beef and chicken patties, peas and rice, cabbage and curry goat! My family and friends enjoyed all the dishes, well prepared and delicious. It was good to have an experience where the food and the service were top notch!“

“Excellent Cuban Food and great friendly staff.“

“Gosh I love this place! Had never tried Caribbean food before, but I've decided that I love it! The space is very bright and welcoming. The server behind the counter was suuuper friendly, and his attitude lowkey matched the bright atmosphere. He was very patient as I was trying to figure out what I wanted, and some good recommendations on the sauces. I ordered a jerk shrimp bowl with various toppings like corn, carrots, shallots, coleslaw, etc. It was FIRE, I'm sad we were rushing cause I didn't have time to eat it all, but I'd definitely go back if I were to visit DC again.“

“The restaurant was amazing. We had a great dinner with family. The chef, the wait staff and bartenders are beautiful spirits. Unfortunately, we were there on the hottest day of the summer and the dining room was a little uncomfortable... nonetheless the total experience made up for it! Please run to Isla! You won't regret it. (Hidden Jems upstairs for private dining and a cocktail lounge next door)“

“The Dominican food here is excellent! It made me feel right at home, and the attentive service from the staff truly reflects the Caribbean customer service I’ve come to expect. Thank you so much!

Very convenient if you are in the Holy cross or just around here.“

“Hands down the best Jamaican food in the area. I always get the jerk chicken with white rice and Mac and cheese. My husband gets curry shrimp but tonight he had steam fish. The first steam fish I've had that wasn't dry. We always get some patties and their house juice.

I also like to add it's the FIRST Jamaican restaurant we've been in where owners and employees and nice. My husband is Jamaican so I've been to a good number. I appreciate you guys!!“

“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! ???“

“Wow wow wow!!!!!!!! I expected to like the curry chicken but this was the best food I have had in YEARS. 20/10 stars!!! I had this from the Petworth community market. I will be following them wherever they go!!!!

I was not asked to write a review. The food was so good I googled to find their reviews and leave one.“

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

“Cool concept it’s like +6 kitchens in 1. They offer a lot of different promos on social media. From Alana pizza, I ordered the burrata and the bacon pesto pizza. The burrata was really fresh and I enjoyed the pesto pizza. From Di Fara pizza, I ordered the pepperoni, sausage and meatball pizza. Not sure if it was dough or the pizza was undercooked, but I wish there was more of a crisp to the crust. I found myself chewing longer than expected.

Location was really clean and ordering via the app was easy. There’s plenty of street parking around the shopping center. Prices are high for the area. I would definitely be back to try some of the other restaurants.“

“Really good smoked jerk chicken and you don't have to pay extra for plantain! It's replaced the Jamaican restaurant that I used to get my jerk chicken from because they stopped smoking the chicken properly. 2 thumbs up to Dat Jerk!“

“U was looking for something different today & happened upon your great establishment! I chose the oxtails with rice/beans & cabbage which didn’t disappoint ❤❤❤❤! Y’all did that as I had a friend from Kingston Jamaica that introduced me to this meat & you guys match it! Thank you for a wonderful Caribbean experience again! I enjoyed every bite!“

“Terrible customer service don’t waste your time“

“This place is absolutely amazing! The food is incredibly delicious. I visited for the first time today and was welcomed with warm, friendly service. Everyone was in great spirits, and the atmosphere felt really positive.

When I mentioned it was my first time, they kindly offered me a sample of curry chicken, brown stew, and oxtail over rice. Each one was full of flavor — so good that I had a hard time choosing!

I ended up ordering the brown stew chicken with rice, cabbage, and a side of plantains. Everything was cooked to perfection. The chicken was juicy, tender, and full of flavor. The plantains were fresh off the stove — perfectly sweet and soft.

I absolutely loved my experience here and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend giving them a try!“

“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.“

“The food and service is exceptional..“

“It's authentic Jamaican jerk. I had the large jerk chicken platter with rice & peas, cabbage and plantains and it was excellent. It was a giant portion and I was only able eating about half of it. I will definitely be back!“

“Great restaurant Lounge with a variety of delicious food. A very friendly customer service that appreciates all customers. Try their spicy goat and suyer, and you'll thank me later. l.“

What impressed me most was how affordable everything was. you get great quality and generous portions without spending a lot of money.

If you're looking for a satisfying meal that won't hurt your budget, this is definitely worth a visit. I'll be coming back again!“
