Was at the Congressional Black Caucus in DC today & they were one of the vendors. I had the jerk chicken egg rolls w/mango vinaigrette and my sister had the salmon bowl w/cabbage and rice. Both were delicious !!!! I will be checking them out in College Park, MD. read more

The sign on Cherry Hill Road still says Unforgettable Flavors and the Cove is in the same basement level nook in the 7 Springs apartment complex (look for the catering van parked at street level) but Chef Neville has moved up the road to Mad Cow. Had to see if the vibe remains. Same cozy space, deserted when I stopped in for a take out supper. Same collection of Caribbean soft drinks. Menu is pretty much the same. Jerk chicken, of course. Very generous portion for $10, and includes braised cabbage and nice moist rice & beans sides even though the menu doesn't mention that. The chicken is boneless chunks, and I didn't miss the splinters at all. Seasonings were complex with just enough scotch bonnet for a good scalp sweat but not punishingly hot. Food is not up to Chef Neville's brilliance, but very tasty and a good value. I'll be back. read more

Caribbean Cove - Menu - Caribbean Near Me - College Park, Maryland

I came here because Yelp reviews had it as better than another Caribbean spot closer to my house, so I thought I'd come out and see what was going on. The place is in the bottom floor of an apartment complex, kinda out the way. It looks like any typical eatery of this type. No AC or anything, just chairs and tables. I ordered two boneless jerk chicken platters and two sides of coco bread. It came out to around $32. The bread was pretty good, and, at $2.70, cheaper than most breads I've gotten around here. The chicken was somewhat spicy, but not flavorful, if that makes sense. The rice and peas were ok. Cabbage was great, and it even comes with two plantains, which was a nice addition. The guy working the counter was rather polite. In all, I don't think I'll be coming back, and probably just sticking to my go-to place. It's a bit pricier, but the added value in flavor makes it well worth it. Food: 6/10 Drinks: N/A Service: 10/10 Aesthetics: 6/10 Value: 7/10 Overall: 29/40 read more

Found this place via Yelp. I got the jerk chicken wrap and fries. It came to less than $10. The fries were nice and hot and so was the wrap. The chicken was moist and flavorful. I ate half of the food when I ordered and then the rest I had for lunch the next day. I'll definitely come back again. read more

Caribbean Cove - Jerk Chicken Wrap - Caribbean Near Me - College Park, Maryland

This place used to be Unforgettable Flavors. I knew something was different because there was no Rasta Pasta on the menu oh and also because I had a review that's disappeared. This dude is the real deal. Escoveitch snapper that will make you smack your mama, rice and peas perfection, the jerk here is SO GOOD and without any tiny little bones yuk. I also like their curry cabbage and Rasta pasta. I noticed this time though, there was no plantain, dumpling, or festival with the dinner platters, which was disappointing; that said, the food was so good I didn't think about it until we were in the car in the way home. Also, carbs. My 5 year old had the fish and chips and he dedicated himself to eating the whole thing. He also reminded me that he had leftovers the next day and ate the fish first!! The spot is a hole in the wall located on the ground level of an apartment building. No ambience to speak of, it's decidedly for Families with kids, comfortable relationship phase or takeaway, but it is SO GOOD!!! I highly recommend. read more

Food was great. I dont normally frequent the same place for food but had to double back within the same week to try again. Once again it was awesome! I had the jerk, curry/jerk, escovitch snapper, beef patty, and 4 different egg rolls, all delicious. read more

I visited this on reference from a college friend and invited my mom to come with me. The traditional Jamaican food was exactly what was needed to stall my cold's attempt at victory. Food was served HOT! The jerk was an impressive tasting dish and according to my Jamaican mother, the oxtail was the true star. This restaurant is nestled in a complex so be sure to keep driving until you are notified! If you are in need of solid and flavorful Jamaican cuisine. I encourage you to stop by! read more

Oh hell yes! I used to come here a while back when it was Unforgettable Flavors, and I was very excited to learn that new ownership had moved in. Chef Paul is incredible! Some of the best Jamaican food I've ever had. I had the red snapper, rice & peas, and cabbage. Also had a curry chicken patty and got to try a saltfish and ackee eggroll(!!). Amazing. Excellent service as well. Don't sleep on this spot!! **located in the Seven Springs apartment complex** read more

Caribbean Cove - Red snapper with rice & peas and cabbage - Caribbean Near Me - College Park, Maryland

Stopped here on my way home from Six Flags. Tried a few dishes - including the beef patties, chicken curry and jerk chicken/wings. All of it was really flavorful, but our favorite by far was the chicken curry and roti! These were surprisingly satisfying and delicious. I wish I had gotten more rotis!! (Although, it's probably good that I didn't...) I can't give Caribbean Cove a five is because there is another Jamaican place, about the same distance from me, that wins the 'As good as it gets' vote. I know that may sound a little unfair, but I wasn't honestly a fan of the jerk chicken or wings (and we freakin' love jerk chicken). Sooo, 1 star deducted, but still soooo glad we stopped in. Portions were also quite generous for the price, we ate well for a couple of meals! read more

Ordered a jerk chicken roti which came unassembled and I was so disappointed to open the container to see chopped chicken pieces swimming in sauce.... please see the pic. It was not tasty and I would not recommend that dish. Definitely not what you expect when you're craving jerk chicken. Two thumbs down read more

Caribbean Cove - Jerk chicken pieces swimming in sauce - Caribbean Near Me - College Park, Maryland

Nice little hidden spot. The fact that it is located in a massive apartment complex was different. Be that as it may, the spot is in the lower level of one of the buildings. Their Jerk seemed as if it was smoked then stewed in the jerk. The order was the same as always; Dark (meat) Jerk platter, rice, cabbage, 2/3 plantains. It is good, the platter is nice and weighty. They have some really interesting cuisine choices that are a mash-up of Asian and Caribbean finger foods. You really should step outside the standard fare. But, it was my 1st time dining here. read more

Unfortunately you waste time here. They cancel your order randomly at any given moment. My order was cancelled after already waiting 30 min for a simple curry chicken dish due to them being closed at 1:30 pm even though their website says they're open. read more

A true hidden gem in College Park, I'd eat here everyday if I still lived in Maryland. Located in an apartment complex of Cherry Hill, I came here with a friend on a Tuesday night. It was completely empty, which isn't surprising given the location. The store is run by one man, so he takes your order and cooks your food too. Talk about a guy that can do it all! My friend has been here multiple times, and told me he orders the goat stew most of time, and he ordered it again that night. I ordered the oxtail pasta. Within 10 minutes, our food was ready. My pasta was delicious - the oxtail was so tender, and the sauce that he made was so savory. It coated the pasta extremely well. I tried some of my friend's goat curry too, and it was insanely good. I don't even really like goat, but there was no denying that the goat was incredible. The guy there is extremely friendly, we got into a talk about his Thanksgiving preparations, how he cooks his food, etc. He also is willing to customize your dish to your liking, which I love. The interior is actually pretty nice. Each table has table cloths and some nice basic décor. There's plenty of parking in the apartment complex, and the spot is located on the lower level of one of the buildings, so be on the lookout. Definitely a slept on spot. Nothing to complain about, it's food that's good for your soul. Go support right now! read more

Always come here when i have a taste for curry goat or curry chicken. Food always steaming hot!! Even if i take the 15min drive back home, food still steaming hot. Nothing negative to say read more

Caribbean Cove - Curry goat no spice - Caribbean Near Me - College Park, Maryland

tl;dr: Hidden away from the main streets. Pretty affordable. Strong flavors. Curly fries. Be aware that spicy is actually really spicy. I'm coming back. I found this place on Yelp, but driving to it was pretty odd because it's pretty hidden away from main streets and within this community of apartments. It's tucked away on the bottom of apartment building at the bottom of the hill so you actually can't see it from the parking lot either but I'm glad I found it. I came here in the the middle of the day, seemed like it was the mom and her son working. I told the chef (mother) that it was my first time and what she recommended. She said she just made some jerk chicken wraps and could whip that up for me with some fresh fries (wonderful surprise they were seasoned curly fries). She asked me if I liked spicy and I said I loved spicy. I typically don't expect much of a kick from places when they say it's spicy but oh man this really kicked me. It was really good. It was a simply wrap so there was so much flavor from the jerk chicken. The spice wasnt too overwhelming where I could not taste the other flavors, but it did play at the edge of pure spice vs flavor. I really enjoyed it. I think I would like this with rice more and if there is a seafood version too. I plan on coming back when I'm in the area. It was also only $9 and I left pretty content/full so I'm a happy camper. read more

The eatery is located in an apartment complex, but very easy to find. The food was superb and mind-blowing. The chef who runs this place is legit! read more

We love authentic Caribbean cuisine and this is it! We've been here three times and haven't been disappointed. Our fav is the escovitch red snapper. Fried, well seasoned, slightly spicy. Delicious! You get a whole fish, a ton of rice, and a good portion of sautéed cabbage with that. My nephew had the jerk chicken/curry combo. I had the oxtails, which were on point. Owner is friendly. Prices are on par if not a little lower than other similar places. This place is a carry out but there are a few tables to eat in. Overall, a great place! read more

the oxtail had no taste nor did it have any gravy on it. there was only about six pieces of oxtail that were very fatty. overall just gross read more

Without the proper signage I never would've found this place. It's tucked in as part of an apartment complex it appears. That doesn't matter, the food is on point. The jerk chicken was spicy and moist the plantains which I don't usually like for appropriately crispy and soft in the middle. Without yelp you probably would've never found it, but you did. enjoy. read more

The service and the food are great! I ordered the jerk chicken Rasta pasta. Very flavorful. I had enough food for dinner last night and lunch today. read more

The food was deliciously authentic. This is going to be my go to spot for Jamaican Cuisine.

I recently attended a weekend conference in DC and Caribbean Cove was set up in the food court. Their Jerk Chicken is amazing! I actually ate there 3 times because it was so good! Their staff was extremely friendly and remembered my face. I look forward to visiting their restaurant very soon! read more

This curry coconut shrimp is amazing& very flavorful. I can't wait to try their jerk shrimp egg rolls as well as their jerk chicken quesadillas . This place is a hidden gym read more

Talk about authentic Caribbean flavors - this place is awesome! My wife and I were looking for to eat somewhere local so decided to give Caribbean Cove a try, and we're so glad we did. Everything was amazing! We ordered the jerk chicken platter, curry chicken roti, and curry chicken and jerk chicken eggrolls. Also try their homemade drinks. We tried the pineapple mango ginger juice and it was the perfect level of sweetness. For dessert, we ordered the bread pudding and it was also very good. We will definitely be ordering here again! read more

It is a little expensive, but the food is definitely worth it. From my teen daughter: The jerk chicken platter is absolutely amazing, but spicy. From my 9 year old son: Best food I ever had. The oxtail is super good!!!!!! read more

It was soft opening and I am very pleased. The ineapple Chicken and Vegan Platter was amazing. My friend and I enjoyed the food very much. Updated 11/15/2018: Ordered dinner from here tonight and I asked the chef to make me something with shrimp. The chef ended up making me this Shrimp dish with some curry coconut sauce with sautéed veggies, cabbage and rice. Yum yum! Definitely happy with tonight's dinner! read more

Great family owned restaurant with delicious authentic Caribbean food. The pineapple chicken is a must try!! It's my favorite dish on the menu. The curry chicken is also great. The customer service is great as well. read more

We had oxtails and goat. Both were good, but I think the the sauces could've been a little bit better.

I have only tried the beef patty, coco bread ant the hibiscus drink which were all amazing! And great customer service as well.

This food here is absolutely amazing and very reasonably priced. I had saw a review online for coconut curry shrimp and although it was not on the menu when we went in Paul the owner, was able to accomodate us. He is extremely friendly. I have had a lot of Caribbean food as I am Bajan, and this food is so flavorful and they give you a huge portion. It is located in a complex so don't think you have missed out this rare find because it is not a stand alone store. I will be definitely returning. read more

My fiance stopped by yesterday and got two curry chicken dinners totaling $20 something..he/we didn't realize unforgettable flavors had moved until they told him..we loved unforgettable b/c they gave you so much food and it was great...but we figured we would try the new spot out..got home and realized i had majority rice, potatoes and cabbage..they put the rice underneath the chicken so he thought he had a whole section of chicken but it was really only about 3 very small pieces with rice underneath it..for the price i should've def had way more chicken...had to fill up on the rice and cabbage which they give you plenty of. Again, it was good but for the price the amount of food given should match. read more

Delicious!! Jerk shrimp egg rolls are everything! Chef will create dishes not on the menu if you ask!!

Excellent food. Really flavorful oxtails, rice, and cabbage. I will definitely return to try something different.

Got the jerk chicken and it was good! Very impressed for my first time trying it. So much flavor and spice to it which was ok because I love spicy food. read more

Caribbean Cove - Jerk chicken - Caribbean Near Me - College Park, Maryland

Today was the first time dinning with this restaurant. I ordered the curry goat ND and curry chicken pattie. I was very disappointed with this dish! I received 3 diced peace of goat which were hard and chewy. Large chunks of green pepper. Everything was super spicy and slathered in curry including the vegetables and the plantains. The pattie was dry. Nothing was edible on this platter! I read the reviews before ordering and they didn't align with my experience. But everyone is intiled to a bad day . read more

Love this place! Compared to others, it's my favorite Caribbean restaurant. Welcoming environment, clean, good food... overall I love it. The man running the restaurant is also great! read more

Paul was a great host. Custom made me dhal puri roti with coconut curry shrimp. Food was amazing and service was top notch. Will def come back again soon read more

I was hosting a baby shower for one of my closest friends whose husband is from the Caribbean so I knew I needed to have some good food for the party. I ordered a full pan of Jerk Chicken, pan of Rice & Peas, and a pan of festival for the party. The Jamaican food didn't stand a chance. The jerk chicken was the first thing to go on the buffet. There were guests that were introduced to festival (fried dough) for the first time that thought it was heaven in their mouth. I highly recommend Caribbean Cove's catering menu for your next party, you will be a hero to your guests. read more

Tried this place for the first time today. I got the vegetarian platter and my boyfriend got the jerk chicken and it was so flavorful! The veg entree had rice and beans, curried vegetable mix, and plantains. The chicken entree came with rice and beans, and cabbage. It was a lot of food and can easily be eaten for two meals especially if you get an appetizer. But if you're really hungry, go ahead and eat it all! Based on other reviews/pictures it looks like the vegetarian platter changes based on what ingredients they have so I'd recommend you call ahead if you want to know for sure. Will definitely be back again! read more
