“The service at this restaurant is exceptional, from the moment you walk in to the very end. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure that their customers are taken care of, earning a solid 10/10 rating with service. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with soft lighting and a simple yet classy interior design spread out over two levels.We tried a variety of cocktails and starters, including cassava fritters, pork paw, and jerk wings - my personal favorite. Other starters such as Aloo and Channa Pies and Callaloo soup were also delicious. For my entree, I opted for the oxtail with coconut rice and plantains, although it was tasty, I have had better oxtail elsewhere and found the flavor to be a bit underwhelming.Overall, I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try as the service and ambiance alone make it worth the visit.“

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!“

“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 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! ???“

“Had a Jamaican Pattie once over 20 yrs ago and it made a huge impact on me then. You can taste the heat from the scotch bonnet which at the time, was the most delicious and spiciest thing I had had ever. Today’s brought back those memories. We also ordered the chix curry and oxtail stew, which all came in perfectly made. This might just become our weekly lunches delivery staple!“

“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!!“

“This restaurant came highly recommended. I called in my order, had to pay for call-in when placed. The young lady on the phone told me 20 minutes but I waited close to 40 minutes. When I got my food which was a jerk chicken dinner, I was not disappointed. The food was absolutely delicious with nice portion size. I could tell the food was made with love and quality ingredients. The young lady who was bagging the order did it with such care. So was it worth paying for it over the phone and waiting an additional 20 minutes, yes it was worth it to receive food of good quality and handle with care. I understand the wait when you are given delicious fresh food! Well done Ms. Ruby, I will let me coworkers know about this spot!“

“My first time at a Cuban restaurant and it was amazing. The steak and shrimp were perfectly marinated and cooked. And the margaritas? So good! The live music and dance floor at the bar added a whole new level of fun. Loved the unique decor too - definitely a vibe!“

“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'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!“

“Wow. Amazing flavor. The jerk chicken was mind blowing smoky goodness and paired perfectly with sweet habanero sauce. Everything else was excellent - rice and peas, cabbage stir fry, candied yams, collard greens, reggae rice, fried plantains, and porridge.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“My main go to spot since I moved back here from Boston. If you know Blue Hill Ave & other areas in Beantown, it's all authentic Jamaican & Dominican food. This is the only spot I found with reasonably priced authentic Jamacian food & great cakes! They got what you want!“
