Caribbean Restaurants near District Heights

“The food was delicious, customer service was definitely decent. I called ahead of time and the food wasn’t prepared but the customer service was still quality / respectful to say the least. The large portions are worth it as well. Definitely will be coming back 🤲🏿 ME DO WU“

“Jamaican food! They have the official rice and with with cabbage and plantain. They'll also have curry goat and white rice. They even have the popular escovitch snapper and kingfish prepared with the vinegary vegetable medley. They have a full menu of Jamaican food options“

“This place was probably one of my favorite dining experiences in DC. One of the reviews I read mentioned you’ll probably end up ordering 40-50% of the menu, and they were definitely right. For two people, we ordered 1 snack, 2 appetizers, 1 item from the “with bread” section, and 1 large share. We also got the rum cake (which was so good!) for dessert and we each had a drink. We left very full and with some leftovers from the large share.

All that aside, this place absolutely lived up to the hype! Each food item was packed with flavor and had beautiful presentation. The servers were kind and quick to help. Food comes out quickly which was nice! The music was on the louder side, but the playlist was great. We could still hear each other.

One thing to note is the menu changes slightly, so what you see in other reviews will more or less be what is available (with slight changes). For instance, we saw reviews about the chargrilled oysters but when we saw the menu it was (raw) oysters escovitch.

This place is definitely on my list to go back to!“

“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.“

“delicious food and street food on the weekends!“

“Friendly employees and delicious drinks“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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! ???“

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

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

“The best restaurant in USA“

“I visited his location for a friend's song release party in the atmosphere was great. I just wish they had more bartenders and waiters in the area to serve food as it was a huge crowd. The drinks were strong and good, which I appreciate. I will definitely be visiting again.“

“So after long day of work I had decided to order the lamb chops with a side of Mac & cheese as well as the rice and peas. When I was finished I was mad I ate it so quick. Everything was cooked to perfection. Lamb chops were seared perfectly; Nice and tender. The sauce that was on them was wheeeeeeewieeeee amazing doesn't even begin to describe it. Then it also went well with the rice and peas and the Mac... Now the Mac wasn't your normal everyday cheese, noodles, some seasoning and that's it. Let's just say if it was tasted by Chef Ramsey he wouldn't even have anything bad to say. Never had any before like that in my life ( just hoping my mom doesn't see this review 😅).“

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

“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.“

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

“I went to this location for the first time the other day and everything was good! From the music to the service to the food. There were two young people serving us that did an excellent job! If you go there, look for Analyse and Shamar. They were super professional, patient, and quick! We had no clue what we wanted to eat, but they helped us figure it out lol. I have to show some love because people these days don’t care anymore about good service. Especially young people. When I was younger, good service was important. These were two young people that took such good care of us, and the food was delicious! A+“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Best Jamaican restaurant I ever been to.“

“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.“

“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 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 👀👀👀“

“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.“

“Treat yourself to this delicious food!“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“Good food great music Great ViBE“

“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?“

“My sister and I try out new jamaican food spots a few times a year but this spot has not been topped yet. Appreciate you Jamaican Country Kitchen!“

“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??‍♀️“

“I thoroughly enjoyed the all-day Sunday brunch. The servers and manager were super attentive and welcoming. The food and drinks were delicious and the chef was very personable. Additionally, they allowed an older unhoused gentleman to sit in from the frigid temperatures and have a complimentary hot tea. Would totally recommend.“

“Food was very good!“
