12 Best Caribbean Restaurants in Silver Spring

“This place has authentic Dominican cuisine. Very limited in their buffet options though. Their seasoning is very much like back home, so much savoring and delicious meals. It almost made me feel like I was eating out of my grandma's kitchen 😋. Highly recommend stopping by and getting a plate hear.“

“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.“

“10/10. Ackee very authentic. Organic spices and taste. Consistency meets value. Flavor paired with freshness. Customer service always professional and immaculate. iWill never order from anywhere else unless they have international DoorDash from Jamaica.“

“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!“

“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!“

“I took my vehicle in for brakes and, while waiting, felt a little peckish.

Island Quizine turned out to be a great stop.

I arrived shortly after they opened, which was definitely a good thing.

I had passed by a couple of days earlier around lunchtime, and the line was out the door.

After this visit, now I know why.

The restaurant was clean and welcoming.

An associate was restocking the beverage machine when I arrived, but I was promptly greeted and able to place my order.

I was initially the only person dining in, but that quickly changed.

About 45 minutes later, every table was occupied and there was a line of customers waiting to order.

I ordered the Large Jerk Chicken with White Meat, along with rice and peas, fried plantains, cabbage, and a beef patty.

My food was ready in less than five minutes.

I started with the beef patty.

The golden pastry had a satisfying crust with a savory, well-seasoned beef filling and just enough spice to give it a flavorful kick.

Then came the jerk chicken (nice, generous chunks of white meat that were flavorful, juicy, tender, and piping hot).

The spice level was medium and perfect for me - well seasoned without being overly spicy.

There was an additional charge for white meat, which I didn’t mind given my preference.

The rice and peas were flavorful and well seasoned, with a savory Caribbean flavor and hearty texture that complemented the chicken nicely.

The fried plantains were sweet and tender with lightly caramelized edges - the perfect balance of soft, sweet, and savory.

The cabbage provided a nice contrast to the richer flavors on the plate.

It was tender without being overly soft, with carrots and other vegetables adding texture and color.

Great reggae music played throughout my entire visit, adding to the atmosphere.

The portion was very generous - too much for me to finish in one sitting, so I happily took the rest home.

Next time, I’ll explore more of the menu.

By the time I left, the tables were full and there was a line to order.

Now I know why.“

“The food is amazing. I went there to get a jerk chicken sandwich for lunch. Location was a little hard to find, but well worth the effort to get to. I ordered three meals. One for lunch time, one for break time and one for supper time. I'll be back many times. Amazing.“

“Good food great music Great ViBE“

“I went to brunch on Sunday, and it was all-you-can-eat with unlimited mimosas, lemon drops, and margaritas. Let me just say—this was some of the best food I’ve ever had in my life! Every single thing I tried was amazing. Not one dish missed.

The bartender was incredible! My glass was literally never empty. Every time I took a few sips, she was right there with a refill. The service was top-notch, and everyone was so friendly and attentive. They cleared our dirty plates quickly, the food was always fresh, hot, and seasoned to perfection, and the whole atmosphere was a vibe. The music, the people, the energy—everything was perfect.

This is officially my new favorite brunch spot! 100/10. I’ll definitely be back!“
