The place is a takeout spot; no seating. It’s small and can get crowded during
lunch time. Good customer service. The wait is not long. The roti is one of the best that I have tasted in the DMV area.

Ordered Chicken Roti and it did not taste like curry. Tasted like it fell in the dishwater and then sold. Called back to complain and gentleman said ok and remained silent. Been going here on and off for many years but this is the worst and the attitude of the gentleman sucks. He should not answer the phone if he lack's people skills or does not know how to respond to customers. Roti did not smell like curry. Wasted money on horrible food. It felt like a furnace inside the shop.

As a fellow Trinbagonian, there was nothing more satisfying than the taste of a nice warm home cooked meal whether it was after school or weekends. Being the foodie that I am, those moments were the highlight of my days and the happiest, most memorable moments of my childhood. I understand the magic that resides in a warm, home-cooked meal—the way it transcends mere sustenance to become a symphony of comfort and connection. Migrating to the United States, I carried those flavors in my heart, seeking solace in the familiar. But as flights dwindled and expenses mounted, a beacon emerged: Caribbean Palace. That first bite of goat roti, an elixir of nostalgia, transported me to my aunt’s kitchen. The tender goat, the perfectly seasoned roti—it was more than sustenance; it was a taste of home. And the portions? Generous enough for both lunch and dinner, all at a fair price. But let’s talk about the appetizers: Pholourie, Aloo Pie, and Doubles. Oh, the doubles—a divine dance of flavors that defies description. They exceeded your taste buds’ wildest expectations. Caribbean Palace, a sanctuary for homesick hearts, beckons islanders and newcomers alike. It’s more than a restaurant; it’s a portal to memories, a celebration of culture. So, fellow foodie, spread the word: this place is worth the trip. Let the aroma of spices and the warmth of hospitality embrace you. And remember, you’re never truly far from home when flavors weave their magic at Caribbean Palace in Takoma Park, Maryland. - Foodie Fanatic – Regan Samaroo .

So annoyed with this business. After over 20 years they seem to never get better. I didn’t go there for over three years and thought I’d give it another try because a new guy was there. Now he’s gone (along with the quality service) and the “young people” are back. My dinner was ruined by too much “pepper” being pout on it after I SPECIFICALLY asked on the phone for SLIGHT PEPPER! Which means light amount. So I can’t eat it. I don’t think they know what “slight” pepper really means. Even when an order is called in and you’re told 20minutes, it still isn’t ready. Instead, the order is forgotten about and made harried and WRONG! I’m so done with them at this point.

I went & tried this restaurant today. I was provided an order of spoil rice & peas, hard plantain, and interesting tasting pholourie. Never again!

I have been coming to this establishment since I was a little girl in the late 1980s. This place used to have the best roti, doubles, drops & currant rolls! My family is from Trinidad and when my daddy, granny or uncles didn’t cook, we’d always come here knowing the food would be nothing short of amazing deliciousness! Especially since we lived 5 minutes away during those times; it was a win for sure! Now my daddy, siblings & I are farther away in Potomac, Md & Frederick, Md. At least 3-4 times out of a year, one of us will stop by to order and carry back roti for all. Unfortunately, Caribbean Palace is not the same amazing deliciousness we used to know. The last few years the chicken roti and doubles have lacked flavor (curry old, roti shell not fresh, barely any potato or chicken & watered down pepper sauce). Also, the prices consistently go up while the size has dramatically decreased. My husband picked up 3 chicken rotis at $15 each and doubles at $4 each yesterday and they were small and tasted horrible! We will not be returning to our once favorited caribbean restaurant due to the inconsistency of flavorful food.

I crave doubles all the time. So happy to find them here. So far from what I've tasted from Caribbean Palace, they are blowing all the other Caribbean joints around DC out of the water. Really nice pepper and tamarind sauces they give you on the side too. So amazing. Thrilled to know of this place.

Vegetarian options: Great place for veggie heads. Doubles and veg combo roti

This is the best Caribbean food I've had in the DC metro area in decades of living here. The doubles are absolutely delectable the rotis are large and affordable and delicious and the service is very friendly and generous.

Vegetarian options: Doubles are to die for!The veggie combo roti is large, delicious, and affordable! Pholourie reminds me of being back on island ?️!
