“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!“

When I mentioned it was my first time, they kindly offered me a sample of curry chicken, brown stew, and oxtail over rice. Each one was full of flavor — so good that I had a hard time choosing!

I ended up ordering the brown stew chicken with rice, cabbage, and a side of plantains. Everything was cooked to perfection. The chicken was juicy, tender, and full of flavor. The plantains were fresh off the stove — perfectly sweet and soft.

I absolutely loved my experience here and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend giving them a try!“

“After 4 months when I initially asked for recommendations for the best oxtail people have had I finally found myself in Alexandria with time to stop in and order me a plate. I’m so glad that I did!

Huge helping of oxtail, rice and peas, cabbage, and collard greens! The to go plate was HEAVY!

This was hands down the best oxtail plate I’ve ever eaten! Had a little heat to it, some sweetness, meat was juicy and fell off the bone nice and smooth. The sides were also full of flavor, which has been an issue in the past with other restaurants. A lot of places focus on the entrees and completely neglect the sides.

Check this place out! You will not be disappointed!“
