So nice to say that there is a wonderful AUTHENTIC Trinidadian food spot just 5 minutes from home!…read moreI met some friends for dinner there a few weeks ago and absolutely LOVED the options. I would also like to add that they make their own pressed juices, included some ginger based juices! I had the straight up Ginger one - not too spicy and not bland either. Refreshing and delicious. They also offered a mix of meat-based and vegan/veggie options. I am not vegetarian but do not eat red meat - so I was curious about the Vegan BBQ Steak. I am so glad I did! It was AMAZING! The service was chill and so nice! :) I can't wait to come back!! Here is their menu for quick reference! Please order from it.

There are a few reviews commenting about skin-on or bones; my impression is that they're likely less familiar with Caribbean food since that is commonplace to enhance the flavor.

I put the food in the fridge for 4 and half hours to return to you. Of course the blood is going to coagulate. I was told returns or refunds aren't ever given because that's your policy. But since I talked to her husband she would honor the exchange. While giving it back I was being reprimanded the whole time. Yet I nodded and said ok thank you the entire time. It's cool but never again. Thanks for the lessons on what never to do when handling a customer. Sir get your wife out the store front. This exchange could've been so much better. I hope y'all learn and grow from this. Update: WHAT PART OF IT WAS FREE!!! You still have my money and the chicken is in your trashcan!!! I was just called a con man for returning and trashing partly cooked food. As I stated I've never had bbq from here. Not the fact it was Trini or bbq period. Accept it and keep moving lady. You guys are sad and shouldn't be in business. You take no accountability and have lack of respect for people who patronize your business. What does Uber have to do with anything?

It was filling and I didn't even notice there was no meat - and the PEPPER SAUCE! I'm an African girl so the spice level is high but goodness the herbs and spices were AMAZING! The chickpeas are soft, luscious, delicious, and flavorful! I am just blown away by the flavors and speediness of the app with ordering and picking up the order in a hassle free way. Definitely check this food truck out!

This roaming food truck was a surprise delight for my apartment complex. Ordering had a few…read morehiccups (due to technical glitches in the service they were using), but after it was resolved things went along quickly enough. I ordered their combo platter with the whole lot of their curry entree offerings (oxtail, chicken, shrimp). The platter was definitely enough for a double meal, but I was hungry so it went down quite readily. You'd probably get better value ordering regular platters (based on sides and rice), but the combo was a good way to sample all of them for my solitary self. Food quality is definitely there in spades. The whole thing smelled delicious on the way up my elevator and it was an explosion of flavor in my mouth. The pilaf was just perfect to go along with the curries that I could not describe (but trust me, it was good). The plantains and cabbage were solid sides to go with the main course and were cooked to perfection. Now if only they came to my locale more often...

The food here is really good. I've visited a few times, and the jerk wings and coconut rice are…read morealways a staple for me, and I love the dipping sauce that comes with the wings. This time decided to try some new items, including the shrimp wontons, the snapper, and the ribs. Loved the ribs. Felt the snapper was a good portion size and fried well, but could have packed more flavor. And also felt the shrimp wontons were just okay, could have also packed more flavor. I might go back to my old faithful, the oxtails, next time, or get the ribs again! Service could be improved. The waiter forgot to check in on us a few times, and was delayed refilling drinks. I didn't have my meal selection ready by the time as my other guests, so they agreed to come back and give me a bit more time. By the time I got to order, my party had all received their meals and were halfway done eating them. I think the server had too many tables to manage, even though the place is small.

Had some impressive meals in this Michelin restaurant during my visit to DC…read more The first time was for lunch. Ordered the Oxtail bowl. By default it came with two pieces of oxtails but that was too much meat for me so I asked for just one piece and more veggies. My server was kind enough to do such modification for me. The oxtail was fork-tender, had lots of collagen, beefy, and had a distinct sourness. The pickled veggies (cucumber slaw & bell peppers) provided a different type of sourness and a hint of heat. Overall very good, though the flavors from the meat and veggies were so strong that I could not have a clear idea of the flavor of the coconut rice. Also, I wish there could be more jus because it went soooooo well with the rice! The second time was for dinner. Tried the Pepperpot, Crispy Kale and Hops. The Pepperpot was a stew of oxtails, cowheels and beef chucks. Very beefy and spicy, a little bit sour/tangy, and very earthy. The sauce was heavenly. It was served with a small bowl of coconut rice and 2 pieces of hops. The rice was a little bit sweet and salty. The hops were similar to dinner rolls, except that they were more dense and firmer. I thought the Crispy Kale was like fried cabbage in soul food but it was literally fried -- so it was very crispy. Too oily for me. I like the mango chutney, though. Service was good and quick. While the restaurant is very small, reservation does not seem to be difficult, especially for lunch. There were, however, lots of online orders.

We even talked about possibly hosting a teacher happy hour there, and he pointed us in the right direction on who to contact. Now let's get into the food... 1000/10! The flavors from the coconut rice down to the pepper shrimp sauce -- OMG! As I'm typing this, I can taste the flavors all over again Lunch is Wednesday-Friday from 12:00 PM-4:00 PM.

I had the lamb curry which was a huge bowl of lamb with lots of veggies, potatoes and chick peas. The flavor was not ruined by too much curry. The crab entree was a perfectly cooked crab cake with a generous side of veggies. Two of us had the filet mignon which was a generous portion. The fries on the side were tasty and crispy. We finished our meal by cleansing our palates with some tasty Belgian chocolate gelato. We will be back again!

I decided to have a taste adventure and learn what a Jamaican Black cake was. Not a bad decision! Loved it. This cake tastes like Christmas! I'm thinking it's a dark rum that they use along with delicious fruits in the cake. You can really taste the marzipan, as well. How lovely! There is nothing plain about the unassuming Butter Rum cake. It is somehow flavorful, dense and rich while still maintaining a lighter flavor. Now onto the juices. Get them. Get 6. Get 12. We tasted the Pineapple Ginger. Meow meow meow meow meow. The Cherry Guava Ginger juice is so warming - ie ginger that brings much heat - and I love it. They have authentic Jamaican dishes here and I've tried and enjoyed the Chicken Roti long ago. I'd love to come back for the seafood dishes. They have many varieties of patties with coco bread. The beef patty with coco bread is the best amount of spicy heat for me. BTW, you could smell the curry all the way from the main road. I knew right away which restaurant that lovely smell was coming from. Their service was also fabulous with us. That's why they are 5 Stars.

This place stays busy, and for good reason…read more The spot is super small and pretty dilapidated, but honestly, when I see a place like this, I already expect the food to be FIRE, and it didn't disappoint. This was my second visit. The first time, the service felt a little cold, but this time was a huge improvement. The women at the front desk were working non-stop; taking in-person orders, answering phones, packing food, handing off Uber Eats orders, basically running the entire operation. They were clearly working hard and keeping everything moving as efficiently as possible despite how packed it was. I ordered the large brown stew meal with cabbage only, plus an extra order of jerk chicken (dark meat, mild). The food was exactly what I hoped for: comforting, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Bottom line: the food had to be good because this place stayed BUSY!!! Definitely worth the wait if you're craving solid Jamaican food.
