Caribbean Restaurants near Greenbelt

“The food was excellent. Wasn't aware of this place before today. Curry Chicken was well seasoned. Portions were outstanding. The yams were especially good. Well worth the trip outside the city for great island food. The pricing is why I will return often.“

“It’s like boujie carribean food but not gonna hold you the food here is good. I love the doubles and honestly their crafted cocktails are a must too. Bartender is also always kind! Place is cute and quaint.Sometimes I think the prices coulddddd be a little lower for some of the bigger plates but it’s an experience so I get it!“

“Honestly, this place continues to exceed our expectations. Service is extremely personalized with kind service staff who share more than just menu. They're cool too. The atmosphere makes you feel like you left the U.S. and landed in a sweet Havana town. Make sure to check out the colors, artwork and decor. Lastly, the absolute star of the show - THE CUISINE. Oxtail, Arroz Con Pollo, Empanadas, Tres Leches, I can literally go on and on... The prices are what you'd expect. Definitely make this a local destination place for your special occasions. ⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Came here on a whim because I had a taste for some Caribbean food and lamb chops, and I was not disappointed. When I walked in, I was immediately greeted by the staff and the premises was nice and clean. I ordered the lamb chops, rice and peas, and greens and cabbage. I also ordered the deviled eggs with shrimp as an appetizer. Though the price was a bit high it was definitely worth it. They brought my appetizer out before the entree which I must say is important to me. The deviled eggs were amazing! I got 5 of them and good sized shrimp with jerk sauce. I could eat a dozen of these!! Next the lamb chops. They were okay, tons of flavors the only thing I can say is I wish they were cooked medium/medium rare but that may be on me for not asking. These were cooked closer to medium well, which wasn't bad but not my preference. But the rice and peas were great as was the greens and cabbage. The portion sizes are good (not too much and not too little) Overall, my meal was satisfying and I would return. The staff made sure I was good (also clean bathroom!) Check this place out!“

“I ordered the Curry Chicken, rice and peas with plantains and I was pleasantly surprised at how DELICIOUS the food was. Everything was fresh, hot, tasty and so full of authentic Jamaican flavor. The food was Excellent, it was so good I could not stop eating. I have not had Jamaican food this good in many years! I have definitely found a gem and will be visiting or ordering often. I highly recommend D&D Caribbean Kitchen, you will not be disappointed. Thank you D&D, you guys set the bar high. My rating is 100 Stars ?“

“Their food is really good the wait is not too bad and the prices are reasonable this is my go-to when I don't feel like cooking at dinner jerk chicken sandwich is fulling reasonably priced and it tastes pretty good.Kid-friendliness: Nice spot.“

“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! ???“

“I came here and purchased food before work. The food was great, real authentic. You can taste the spices. It's truly a slice of home. I would recommend to anyone. 5 STAR food. I ordered a Curry Goat Roti it's was to Die for and I got some Oxtails with Rice and Peas and cabbage my boss loved it.“

“Delicious and very friendly service! I had jerk chicken (spicy) which came with rice & beans, cabbage, plus I ordered a side of plantains and a bottle of sorrel (hibiscus/ginger drink). All were excellent. I was going to try a seafood dish but those are made fresh to order and take about 20 min whereas the other dishes come out immediately. Next time I'll have to order ahead for fish! btw I accidentally dropped a tip in a coffee mug and Andrene was very gracious about it! ☺️“

“I stopped by this bar on a Saturday night and the atmosphere and vibes were amazing, 2nd floor was a cool lounge area and the bartenders were on point especially JC! His energy and attentiveness was great as-well as the food and drinks recommended were 10/10. He recommended a Smokey old fashioned which was delicious as-well as the Jerk chicken which went CRAZY. I will definitely be back for the food and drinks and especially for the bartender JC!!“

“Jerk chicken 10/10Brown stew chicken 9.5/10Beef patty 8.9/10Ive tried from many Jamaican restaurants and this is by far the best one for my liking. Flavor of Jerk chicken was out of this world. Packed with spices and flavors. Perfectly seasoned. I will try their curry chicken and oxtail next time.“

“I've ordered from Jam Doung Style twice now, but know that I will keep coming back. The first time I ordered the brown stew chicken with cabbage, rice and pea and a side of plantains. The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender and flavorful, while the cabbage was perfectly shredded and reminded me of my own. The plantains were delicious and I figured it couldn't get better. However, I recently ordered through UberEats and they blew me away! Roughly just over an hour before the restaurant closed, I ordered a combo meal with jerk and curry, chicken, rice and peas, Mac & cheese and cabbage. I also ordered a similar meal for my son. We also ordered cocoa bread, a beef patty and plantains. I received a phone call from the restaurant within two minutes of ordering, to let me know that they were out of plantains. The sweet lady I spoke with asked if I would like an additional beef patty to which I said yes. To my surprise, an order of plantains were in my bag when the food arrived! I was so happy I called the restaurant back to thank them. Then we ate... Oh my!! The food reminded me of a home cooked meal I had when visiting Jamaica many years ago. Where do I start?? The plantains were perfectly ripe with caramelized edges and the tender jerk chicken was perfectly spiced. The curry chicken literally fell off the bone...Everything, and I do mean everything, was perfect, including the Mac & cheese! The portions are huge and I had my leftovers for breakfast the following day. Jam Doung is well worth a visit. Try them, you will not be disappointed!“

“I have visited several African restaurants in DMV. De.Raanch restaurants and Bar is absolutely bed when it comes real restaurants serving food.I heard so much about De Rannch: The pioneer of authentic African restaurants restaurants. We came here today to find out for ourselves. Upon entering the door, we were greeted with a smiling face by the lady who was behind the counter..She then walked up to the dinning room and sat us down .The menu is a light booklet with all the motherland foods. I decided to go for the hard to find items: Ishiehu, Nkobi, ugba,and bitter leaf soup. My friend ordered abach( African salad) to our surprise all these items were brought to our table hot and fresh. We looked at each other and said this is it. The management is serious about thier business. No stories just good authentic food.The environment is very clean. No smells, tables are shining. The restrictions are clean. This is what I cal restaurants. I strongly recommend De Ranch for the restaurants to treat your out of town guests.“

“I Ordered The Jerk Chicken With Beans And Rice Food Was On Point Just Wish It Was A Bit More Fresher. But Overall It Was Good Just Had To Throw It In The Microwave.Then I Got The Ginger Juice Which I Would Never Get Again Just Have A Spicy After Taste. I Just Stick With The Sea Moss..“

“Thanks to Yelp for this perfect find! It was walking distance from my hotel in Navy Yard & im sooo glad because we are soooooo good! Had to walk it off after, LOL! Our server was a cool & funny Nigerian man that was very helpful + attentive. They had great music going from when we walked up and even after we left! It was a beautiful day so we opted to sit outside. Food: 12/10!!! Jerk Wings: We tore it up before we could even get a picture! Sooo good, well sized & full of flavor but not overpowering. Oxtail & Butter Beans: I'm ready to return for this plate! Fall off the bone oxtails Escovitch Red Snapper: This was really good! Cooked very very well, as if it were from the islands. Jerk Pork Belly: this was different but good, and fatty. Collard Greens: 3/10-- not a fan, I think the coconut milk in it threw us off. Drinks: Piña Colada: the most refreshing & perfectly crafted piña colada I've ever had! I know I've said this before about another place but Bammy's is now #1!! Sooooo good my friend said forget her drink and ordered one Pain Killer: Strong but tasty. This is a must when I return to DC!!“

“All I can say is that the food was so delicious. I enjoy every bite of it. I got the Brown Stew Snapper with the yellow rice and greens. Let me tell you, that "Soursop" Juice is fantastic. Please try it. I will be back for more. It's a 5 Star for me. Peace & Blessing.“

“The staff at this location was good, but the quality of the food was a problem. I ordered 2 salads and the lettuce on the salads was old and the spring mix and spinach were wilted. We had to pick a lot of it out. The meat however was flavorfully and tasty. The 2 side orders were tasty as well. As far as atmosphere, the floors were sticky and needed a good cleaning. The glass partition also needed to be cleaned. Overall, a little cleaning and attention to the food would have changed the whole experience.“

“I love Just Jerk. I've been going there for years! The food is good and they stay busy. My favorite is the curry chicken and the jerk chicken sandwiches. My husband loves the stew chicken. Call ahead if you can. I definitely recommend this business.“

“My first experience at District Jerk was I’m not the best. They seemed to be having a not so good night with the heat coming through the open walk up window competing with the AC and more orders than food. However, Manager Marissa completely turned the experience around. She asked to join us then took a seat at our table and talked to us and reassured us that that day was an anomaly. That we should give District Jerk another chance. We ended up taking our food to go and boy was the food good. The softest most flavorful oxtail! And my son said that the jerk wings were then best he’d had (I can’t speak on it bc he ate them alllll down to the bone). Bc of the experience, because of Marissa’s demeanor, we went back two weeks later! We had the salmon, the curry goat and the Rasta pasta. Chef’s kiss. We are now regulars!“

“Great food, great atmosphere! The owner Eduardo is a very generous and welcoming host. I asked for his recommendation and he delivered a wonderful meal of beef stew, rice, and salad - i didn't even look at the menu! Turns out his wife prepares all the seasoning blends by hand for each dish, and the beans are naturally grown locally. Wonderful find, I'll be back next time I'm in town!“

“This is the BEST food I've had from any Caribbean style food spot in YEARS! When I heard the music and saw who was behind the counter I had a feeling I was in the right spot!!! Shout out to the Chef!!!! Everything is Delicious! The Rice and Peas, Cabbage, Plantains, Oxtails, and Curry chicken was EXCELLENT!!“

“YUM YUM YUM! The Curried Goat w/ rice is LIFE! And the Chef & Family is super duper sweet and helpful! They came to the African American Cultural Festival in PA and we were SO thankful for the smiles, service and especially the flavor! We ate it before we could even take pics, haha. Also try the juice...they're FULL of yummy flavor you don't usually find at the grocery store.Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian Entrees and Appetizers. Something for everyone!Kid-friendliness: Super happy family serving you...family friendly for sure!Wheelchair accessibility: The food truck is easily accessible for wheelchair users. They also open the side ramp up so they can walk down to you to hand you food and take your order.Dietary restrictions: I was able to find some gluten free options!“
