“Went in there and asked them to surprise me and boy did they. This is something I would have never tried. It's a spiced beef. Not sure what kind of beef but it's fantastic. Collard greens, rice and mac and cheese. Oh my goodness this is fantastic!”

“Please read my entire review, because I will definitely be a returning customer! I ordered the jerk shrimp with white rice and stir-fry—not mixed vegetables. The shrimp was seasoned to perfection, and the portion included about 12 jumbo shrimp. The peppers and onions were cooked down beautifully. Keep in mind that this dish is made to order. The sides could use a little improvement. The separate portion of white rice was slightly hard, although the rice underneath the shrimp was fluffy. The stir-fry could have cooked a little longer, but I was able to cook it down more at home and enjoy my meal. The staff was friendly, acknowledged me when I walked in, and gave me time to decide without rushing me. The music selection was on point! I love good gospel while trying to decide on dinner! 🙏🏾 The restaurant was clean, and the open kitchen allowed me to see employees washing their hands and cleaning their cooking stations before preparing food, which I appreciated. The new location was not hard to find it’s directly across the stress from the Target I’ll definitely be back to try another seafood dish! Next time, I’ll try the rice and peas instead of the white rice. It’s a Caribbean staple, and I’m looking forward to seeing how theirs tastes.”

“This place was probably one of my favorite dining experiences in DC. One of the reviews I read mentioned you’ll probably end up ordering 40-50% of the menu, and they were definitely right. For two people, we ordered 1 snack, 2 appetizers, 1 item from the “with bread” section, and 1 large share. We also got the rum cake (which was so good!) for dessert and we each had a drink. We left very full and with some leftovers from the large share. All that aside, this place absolutely lived up to the hype! Each food item was packed with flavor and had beautiful presentation. The servers were kind and quick to help. Food comes out quickly which was nice! The music was on the louder side, but the playlist was great. We could still hear each other. One thing to note is the menu changes slightly, so what you see in other reviews will more or less be what is available (with slight changes). For instance, we saw reviews about the chargrilled oysters but when we saw the menu it was (raw) oysters escovitch. This place is definitely on my list to go back to!”

“We celebrated our anniversary last night, and the setting was beautiful from the moment we walked in. The host welcomed us warmly and even wished us a happy anniversary, which felt thoughtful. And honestly, the food was outstanding. Every dish we tried was delicious.The only downside was the service, which felt rushed, like clearing plates before we were done and bringing the check right after dessert without an anniversary note. It took away from what we hoped would be a slower, more memorable celebration.”

“No complaints here. The food is good....when in need of satisfying my cravings for Caribbean eats…..It's reasonably priced, no frills, and gives you a taste of authentic Caribbean fare. I tend to order the I got the Half Jerk Chicken with fried rice, angry mayo, angry sweet, cucumber salsa and cilantro. It has a slight kick, not too spicy but, a good flavor and the meat is tender. Even the white meat, which I am not a fan of, is pretty good and tender here. On this visit, I tried the Jerk Chicken &. Shrimp Tacos. These bad boys are pilled high with your choice of peas n' rice or fried rice, cabbage, carrots, mango-pineapple toppings (which I opted-out) and a sweet-spicy jark sauce. I’m a sauce fanatic and like everything extra sauce and dripping everywhere….on pizza, sandwiches….on everrryythang!! I definitely recommend getting “xxxtra-sauce” on these tacos. This dish is really good and gets a total thumbs up from me! Overall, great vibe, good customer service, and the restaurant is very clean. Glad to support this local small family business. The staff are friendly and helpful too in explaining their dishes.”

“This place was better than I expected. I didn’t go in with low expectations, but wasn’t sure what my experience would be. Food was great. Service was decent. And the atmosphere was very chill. Perhaps could be a little cooler inside. But I’m more focused on the food. I went for the jerk chicken while my wife went for the oxtail. Both of us were pleased with our meals.”

“I really enjoyed this meal! I had jerk chicken and the plate came with rice, a vegetable, and plantain. I had never tried Jamaican food before, so my opinion might not mean the most, but I really liked it! The patties were also very yummy. Also the servers were kind enough to set a table outside for us to eat since we had our pup with us.”

“i went for the late night lounge upstairs and had a wonderful time. Wes made sure our section was settled and that we had everything we needed. The DJ was a vibe and our bottle girl was very pleasant and was also present without seeming pushy. The bartender was not playing and poured really good margaritas and shots that kept the party flowing. I would def return For the cute lounge, and look forward to coming back soon to experience the restaurant. All of the food looks delicious!”

“From the waiter, the restaurant is now fully absorbed into the deli as a full service deli sit down more than the older full restaurant. The BBQ is from another location and fantastic taste but smaller portions than if you goto the New Mexico location. Other food there is now so so. Used to be our goto spot but in losing its original flair and now half its seating it is mostly just there as a quiet space if you get deli food.”

“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.”

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?”
