The quality of food here has changed. While the food still bares some form of authenticity it has become tasteless. The umph is gone. Please invest in a better cook who can actually cook and not follow a recipe from a book if that's the case. Service was mid. Smile more we are Trinidadian the happiest people on earth. Location is great but the length of time this place has been in business it's time to expand.

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 ?️!

Food was absolutely delicious. They were out of some things because they see so quickly. The service was great as the man left us know what they were sold out of. The wait was only 10ish minutes which was good, especially because there was only one man working.
Sadly good food & service is a rare find! I ordered a chicken roti & spinach both tasteless I was wondering how it was ready less than five minutes! Yuk precooked or something! I must remind myself to look at reviews! I would have avoided such

If you are big on customer service then this place isn't for you. That is something that is lack here badly! The food isn't like before and whoever owns it seems to don't care either. There's no way your establishment should have customers spending their hard earned money and not leave satisfied with either the service or the food. Food should never be fried and sit down to serve especially if it is something that can be fried quick. When I order food I expect it to be hot not cold. I mean let me serve ya'll cold food and then ya'll tell me how yah feel!!!!!!!

I wish I can give this review zero stars. I stopped to get food from here the other day and it was AWFUL!!!!!!!!! Both meals were extremely TASTELESS, VERY DRY, the ingredients were very INAUTHENTIC. Almost everything was sold out by the afternoon and the customer service was weak as well. It’s a shame because I would always travel a distance to get this food and have visited Carribean Palace countless times. Unfortunately, nothing I ordered tasted or looked like how it use to in the past. I end up trashing 2 whole meals (chicken curry meal and roti) including my doubles. Maybe the original owners or crew left and took everything with them including the recipes. This was a total waste of money for me. I am never coming back here ever again!

asked for chicken roti, and they gave me what looked to be dumplings as roti skins. Pure trash.

I went to get a roti due to all the good reviews. The roti was just OK, I would give it 2.5 out of 5 stars. The doubles were also the worst I've ever had, 1 out of 5 stars.In regards to customer service, is was not good. I do not recommend.

Caribbean palace has been a staple in this area for a very long time. Let’s dig in, the location is rather busy but still manageable with plenty of parking. The staff was welcoming upon entrance, however some times not so friendly. I got the chicken with bone in roti and the flavors were on point. There could have been more filling inside of the roti however with it being so good that was the least of my worries. I would totally recommend stopping by if you are in the area.Vegetarian options: They have spinach roti, and doubles that are delicious veggie options!
