“What a wonderful man who runs this place!! I speak abundance and growth over his establishment. His food is made with love and you can tell. The Peanut butter soup is YUM and he even got me to try a millet drink, and IT was yum too!!! Different, definitely, but YUMMY!!! Also great prices!! I drove all the way from N Arlington just to get his food.“

“I’m really enjoying this place every time I eat the food here it’s it feels like it just came straight out of Jamaica! Very homie experience it’s just a little bit small in the interior! My wife and I are here in Oneday😍. I’ll plan on bringing my old springs and they’re all springs here too.“

“What a vibe. Highly recommend“

“Wow, after everything I have heard and the awards this place has received, I had high expectations. My TLDR is that some of those expectations were met, others were not.

I have been wanting to try Dogon for a while, my boyfriend finally got a res for my birthday dinner. The food was great, some of it was excellent (Ben’s Bowl, ugh that sauce!!), our server was helpful and met expectations, but I cannot look past feeling rushed during my dining experience with Dogon. Especially when the booking says to plan to be there for at least 2 hours, reservations are so hard to get, and the staff KNEW we were there to enjoy an occasion. Plates were being cleared while we were not done with dishes, or we still had food in our mouths. We felt rushed eating, we felt rushed to place an order, and pressured to order everything for the table at once. We were going to order a bottle of wine, but we felt there would not be enough time to enjoy it. In total we were in and out of the restaurant in an hour and 15 minutes for a full birthday dinner. I want to make crystal clear that our server was great, and this issue isn’t on one person. It is on the service team and their communication with the kitchen.

My dad was the head chef at one of the most popular restaurants in NYC for a long time, I know what is a reasonable expectation of a high volume, high end restaurant, and what isn’t. Pacing is something the restaurant is in full control of. Dogon should look into improving here. Even with this issue, I would still go back to try more of the menu.“

“Food and drinks… absolutely amazing!“

“Deliciosas empanadas y aperitivos con ese sabor Panameño que nos identifica y una atención excelente“

“Had a chance to eat at the Dupont Circle restaurant. The food was excellent. The portion was more than enough and the price for three people was very reasonable. I appreciate the staff and the recommendations that they had in terms of the different proteins and vegetables that were being offered. I decided to go with the jerk chicken bowl. The dish was one of the best jerk bowls that I’ve ever eaten.“

“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! ???“

“Was invited for the happy hour scene and it did not disappoint at all! Prompt service, great portion & quality of my order. DJ's present played good music, tying things together for those who weren't watching games on the TV's.“

“1. The food tastes amazing, always fresh & portions aren't skimpy. 2. Top notch Cust Srv that Wants Your Patronage (Ms. Linda is a gem). 3. The delivery is 25-30m. What else can 1 ask for from an establishment, I'm in love lol“

“Wow wow wow!!!!!!!! I expected to like the curry chicken but this was the best food I have had in YEARS. 20/10 stars!!! I had this from the Petworth community market. I will be following them wherever they go!!!!

I was not asked to write a review. The food was so good I googled to find their reviews and leave one.“

“The food here was above and beyond what I expected. Not that I thought it wouldn’t be good. Just didn’t expect the explosion of flavors from each dish I tried. I had the doubles and goat rice platter. I’ve never had doubles and curried goat with so much spice and depth of flavor before. Highly recommend this restaurant. The curry is amazing. Will definitely be back. Service is a little slow but they are a new restaurant so they gotta work out the kinks. Again, highly recommend.“

“Friendly employees and delicious drinks“

“Really enjoyed the chicken roti. Looks small but perfect portion. Can’t wait for you guys to come back to The Edition“

“BEAUTIFUL restaurant! A true gem! 💎 DELICIOUS dishes from jerk chicken, lamb chops, salmon, codfish cakes, brussel sprouts, broccolini, seafood chicken pasta (menu has a wide variety) and an array of specialty cocktails. The staff and ambiance of the upper/ lower levels were very comfortable and artistic elegance! I can't wait to return.“

He just told me this the jamican food witch means alot comming from him cause over the years I have seen him buy food and throw it away as soon as he ate it. So thank you“

“Delicious meal. This woman Joan can cook. Everything was cooked to perfection, tender tasty. I ordered Egusi soup!!! She was kind and had great service too. It’s also one of the less expensive places I’ve seen. I’ll be gone my back today.“

“I've eaten here a couple of times now, and I highly recommend it. I actually didn't go there with particularly high expectations, but I was so pleasantly surprised. They have several vegan dishes and everything I tried was delicious. While the ambiance is a bit underwhelming, it is honestly so nice to eat someplace where no one has to shout to be heard. I can't wait to go back again.“

“Awesome food, great service & awesome energy!!!“

“The chicken is always amazing!!“

“Absolutely the most delicious Ox Tail Stew!!! Honestly everything on the menu is awesome. 5 🌟 peeps.“

“My first time, but definitely not my last. I was welcomed, at the door by an employee. The service was good, as was the food. The ox tails were exceptionally delicious and so very tender. I will be returning for more.
THANKS PARADISE ISLAND GRILL!!“

“Go there for great coffee all day“

“This is a nearby spot and couldn't be happier if it were any closer I'd be there everyday. Mama is the sweetest woman so hard working and very kind. The food is made with love and is worth every cent it's not expensive but it's worth every dollar. My favorite dish is jerk chicken, white rice, cabbage, and plantains with a side of coco bread?“

“Imma hip you now, the tostone nachos with the shrimp *chefs kiss* and their spin on. Eggs Benedict is also good. Beautiful food that's looks just as good as ot tastes.

Kid-friendliness: During a certain time of day its family friendly. After 5pm it's still a chill vibe but remember adults don't give a jolly good damn bout your kids. I came to drink FINE DRINKS LIKE IM NOT IN DC??‍♀️“

“What a great place!! Food: delicious 💯 Place: beautiful💘 Drinks: excelent 💯 Services: Fast and Friendly 🧑‍🍳 Yes, I recommend Cuba Libre Rest. DC“

“What a nice spot. I read the reviews and HAD to see if they were telling the truth… The Mac and Cheese was AH-mazing definitely NOT from a box! The Popeye smoothie was so good and refreshing. I also had a jerk chicken salad. Although just a salad it was still packed with delicious flavor. Jerk chicken patty was on point and super fresh. I will definitely be back for more!!!“

“Soooo good! Ordered catering for a family event and from the first bite everybody wanted to know where the food was from. The jerk salmon, chicken and cabbage is amazing! The white rice.. no words!“

“Quick service, food is great.“

“I hard a curry goat with rice and peas. This dish is my favorite and no one should cook this sissy and get it wrong. I must say, it hit the right spot on every bite. Thank you 😊. Highly recommend that you eat at Spice restaurant. The rum cake was ever so delicious 😋. Thank you.“

“I’ve been going to Caribbean Superior since 2016. I’m a regular for their breakfast, patties, and soups. The food quality has remained solid. However their portion sizes are not consistent (and far as protein goes) and have become significantly smaller since May. It’s either raise the prices or make the portions smaller, but doing both is a little crazy and it makes it difficult to continue to be a patron here.“

“The food and service is exceptional..“

“I really enjoyed their jerk chicken. First of all it’s actually made on the grill. Second you smell it the moment you enter the parking lot. I get my grilled with the sauce on the side and it was perfect and authentic. Whoever said it was burnt and thought that pic was proof knows nothing about jerk chicken. Mine was super moist. I liked it and I recommend.“
