“My favorite is the waakye ( Rice & beans). I’ve tried waakye in Ghana and most of the big cities in the states but this one is a must try. Lately moved out of Va and my only ask from anyone visiting me is just that. Adding to my experience is auntie Rose, who prepares and serves with joy. Thank you auntie Rose.“

“First impression of Ruby's kitchen is that the coco bread was that it was slightly underdone but it had a nice sweet Tang to it it was light it was delightful I wish the presentation wasn't flattened when it was served but overall very tasty

Beef patty was good flaky crust meat stuffing was okay needed more spice to it just to poke out a little bit more to the overwhelming flaky crust I feel like the beef patty is so close to being Perfection but it's shy

Curry chicken patty again good flaky crust to me it was a little undercooked presentation wise could use a little bit more pizzazz but the flavor of the curry chicken is divine the flavors are in depth rich and complex

Jerk chicken was my favorite the complexities of the jerk seasoning was titillating on my pallet I had to go back for a second bite just to understand what was going on fully with the spices the crust again is surprisingly flaky and tantalizing on the palate The Filling really accentuates I really recommend the jerk chicken one out of all of the three

Overall Ruby's Kitchen was an inexpensive Delight that I would go to and try more things to I was very very surprised and I look forward to trying them further“

“What a vibe. Highly recommend“

“We were really excited to eat here to celebrate my wife’s birthday and it was one of the best dinner experiences we’ve had in DC. Not exaggerating, it’s the best sauce work on dishes we have ever tasted. The sauces for the piri salad, branzino, and shrimp were the highlights while the oysters were the standout. Our server (Cesar) was phenomenal and gave us great recommendations. We are excited to come back here with our friends in the near future!“

“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! ???“

“The Rasta pasta and curried chicken were absolutely delicious; perfectly seasoned, flavorful, and cooked just right. Every bite was satisfying and clearly made with care. The atmosphere was already great, but what truly elevated the entire experience was our bartender, Camryn. She was friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and made us feel genuinely welcomed from start to finish. Her energy and service alone are reasons to come back. Because of the amazing food and Camryn’s outstanding hospitality, we will definitely be returning. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“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?“

“Cool concept it’s like +6 kitchens in 1. They offer a lot of different promos on social media. From Alana pizza, I ordered the burrata and the bacon pesto pizza. The burrata was really fresh and I enjoyed the pesto pizza. From Di Fara pizza, I ordered the pepperoni, sausage and meatball pizza. Not sure if it was dough or the pizza was undercooked, but I wish there was more of a crisp to the crust. I found myself chewing longer than expected.

Location was really clean and ordering via the app was easy. There’s plenty of street parking around the shopping center. Prices are high for the area. I would definitely be back to try some of the other restaurants.“

“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.“

“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!“
