Caribbean Restaurants near District Heights

“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!“

“I’ve driven past this restaurant at least 40 times without attempting to stop and try, and I am so glad that I finally decided to change that today!
The service was absolutely amazing, and the food matched that. I’ve already begun telling all of my friends and family about this place, and intend on being a consistent consumer myself.“

“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!“

“delicious food and street food on the weekends!“

“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 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! ???“

“Finally got the opportunity to check the place out. Food was amazing! Great flavor and nice portions!

The establishment is cozy and clean. I'll have to check out the bar next time!

Also, that rum cake was top tier!“

“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“

“Friendly employees and delicious drinks“

“The Rasta pasta and curried chicken were absolutely delicious; perfectly seasoned, flavorful, and cooked just right. Every bite was satisfying and clearly made with care. The atmosphere was already great, but what truly elevated the entire experience was our bartender, Camryn. She was friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and made us feel genuinely welcomed from start to finish. Her energy and service alone are reasons to come back. Because of the amazing food and Camryn’s outstanding hospitality, we will definitely be returning. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“My wife and I have been tempted to stop by for a long time — tonight, we made it happen. And, it is all about the food — soup, entrees, dessert — all so incredibly good. Okay, nice interior, lots of seating, an intriguing bar, and kind wait staff. We will clearly return!“

“Love this joint! Food is fresh - and here's a rare word these days - plentiful!“

“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.“

“BEAUTIFUL restaurant! A true gem! 💎 DELICIOUS dishes from jerk chicken, lamb chops, salmon, codfish cakes, brussel sprouts, broccolini, seafood chicken pasta (menu has a wide variety) and an array of specialty cocktails. The staff and ambiance of the upper/ lower levels were very comfortable and artistic elegance! I can't wait to return.“

“The best restaurant in USA“

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

“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!“

“What a great place!! Food: delicious 💯 Place: beautiful💘 Drinks: excelent 💯 Services: Fast and Friendly 🧑‍🍳 Yes, I recommend Cuba Libre Rest. DC“

“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 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 👀👀👀“

“Treat yourself to this delicious food!“

“Food is really good, one of the best African restaurants I been too, not too many African places can make good tasting food, this is my 2nd best place.... I went yesterday and had the Jolloff rice with goat meat, and my domestic partner also did too, goat pepper soup, pounded yam and egusi soup. The lady their is really nice too, good customer service.“

“I highly recommend giving this place a try! The food is really flavorful, and clearly made with care. What impressed me most was how affordable everything was. you get great quality and generous portions without spending a lot of money. It's becoming harder to find restaurants that offer both excellent taste and reasonable prices, but this place does exactly that. 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!“

“This is a nearby spot and couldn't be happier if it were any closer I'd be there everyday. Mama is the sweetest woman so hard working and very kind. The food is made with love and is worth every cent it's not expensive but it's worth every dollar. My favorite dish is jerk chicken, white rice, cabbage, and plantains with a side of coco bread?“

“Good food, professional service and, the best Coco Bread in town!👌🏾💯“

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

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

“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??‍♀️“

“Best Jamaican restaurant I ever been to.“

“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.“

“The food and service is exceptional..“

“Good food great music Great ViBE“

“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.“

“Olivia and Rez absolutely nailed it tonight! ✨ Together, their extensive experience in delivering exceptional service, hospitality, and atmosphere truly came together for a 5-star Grand Opening. My son and I had an amazing time! thank you, Liv & team!!!“
