This place is authentic but the execution of the dishes leaves a lot to be desired. The oxtail tasted good but most of the pieces were very fatty and there was a ridiculous amount of bones. The cabbage was ok and the rice wasn't anything special. Also ordered friend plantains on the side and they were good. I didn't like how much bone and fat the oxtail had making the portion pretty small. There is alot of Caribbean places nearby , will not be trying this one again. read more

I ordered the larg oxtails and I got a large platter of rice and peas. Was craving good oxtails and was disappointed in all the rice which my diabetic azz can't eat! Barely had 3 good size oxtails then toasted them and didn't care. I didn't feel like cooking but had to break out my seasonings to fix the taste. Please explain why your oxtails are SWEET! I never wanted my money back so bad. read more

Love love love the oxtail dinner!!!!I always enjoy eating food from here. They treat me well and the service is excellent

Pretty good, I had the curry chicken combo and an extra side of cabbage (big helping given). They are featured on UberEATS. I'd have it again. read more

Ordered on Uber eats. Got 2 beef Patties they sent veggie Patties which were disgusting.

The absolute worst food I've ever had !! No exaggeration, Do Not Eat Here... The chicken was either old, rotten or both..

As I mentioned earlier, this spot is Guyanese. So the menu reflects that, as does their take on Caribbean classics that you find on all the islands. True Caribbean food experts will be able to suss out the the various ingredients that are over pronounced or missing. Aka Why dem so stingy with di pepper deh? Fi Ras... But there are times when you want home cooking but don't want to cook at home. What is a good Jamaican boy to do? You jump in the car and drive. GETTING THERE - it's not an easy place to find, as tnt sign is obscured by some foliage AND is located in a business park. Slightly industrial, light work. Parking - Unlike most good things the Urrea, this place had lots is parking. Seating and decor - it feels like you're at your aunt's house. Minus the plastic covered furniture. About four long tables and a few short tables. But like most Caribbean spots, the seating is primarily for folks trying to take out. For the Yardies, nuff Yankees partake in the food. Service - Now as a veteran of these establishments, I'm used to more of an adversarial and confrontational approach when it comes Caribbean service. None of that was necessary here. It was quite pleasant and very prompt. I guess the Yankees have softened them up a bit. Although while I was there a true Island man was yammering about bringing him some ice. The poor gyal had to hammer through the ice to get him a glass full. Not even a kiss of the teeth. Kiss mi neck! The food - if you're familiar with a menu from Trinidad, they had Rotis and pooris. Probably some other strictly Guyanese dishes, but I came for Curry Goat. General, di plate was pile up with goat. Like goat grew on trees. Along with the rice and peas and a side dish of plantain, I was very happy. I might have fried the plantain with a little less oil, and put more pepper into the goat, but I got two meals and a tin of rum raisin ice cream. 20 for that plus a ginger beer, ended up being three meals.

I thought I wrote a review when they were Tropicana. They are now Caribbean Grill. When I don't want to wait at Pimento Grill, I come here. Or I come here first.... depends on the day, ha! The food is good, the place is neat and clean. They still have their kid's special (3-7 1 free kids meal with the purchase of a regular entree?). They have a lunch buffet with good dine in space (cafeteria booths.. no table cloths and chairs), screens to watch news/sports. They carry honey bun cake (local vendor, supporting the community and small business!) One star is taken off because the goat is unreliable-- it may be tender or it may be hard. You never know. Curried shrimp is cooked and simmered, so the shrimp will be soggy. I prefer my shrimp firmer and fresh. I don't order curried shrimp anymore. Love the flavor, hate the soggy shrimp. read more

Great little eatery, with excellent curry dishes, and modest prices. It would be worth the drive even if I didn't need to have my car's oil changed at the nearby Jiffy Lube. I asked if the fried dumplings were good, and the charming man behind the counter told me, "everything's good, you'll come back and tell me!" So I ordered shrimp curry, a dumpling (to stave off starvation on the ride all the way back to Capitol Hill), and a beef patty (in case the dumpling wasn't fabulous. Well, the dumpling was really not great, just a big greasy blob of fried dough. I'm glad it wasn't just out of the fryer, because then I might have eaten more of it. However the patty was quite good. When I got home and tucked into the curry, I was really happy with my shrimp curry entree- a generous portion of rice and beans, very tasty turmeric scented cabbage, and delicious shrimp curry. I've already made two meals, and plan to eat the remainder for lunch tomorrow. I can't wait till my car needs its oil changed again! read more

Did not give me all the food I paid for. Called them back and the lady swore she did. Will not patronize them again.

VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED! I paid $17 for Food that I didn't order!!! Very Poor Customer service and problem solving as well. Long story short I came in on my lunch break today and ordered ALL WHITE MEAT JERK LRG but instead they gave me ALL DARK MEAT JRK with White Rice, which I didn't order white rice. Some guy named PJ said I can come and get my order fixed, Which was a lie because it NEVER HAPPENED! At the point when I tried to get my CORRECT ORDER which I paid $17 for they said please bring the food in. Mind you, they Never mentioned that before. I even took pictures of the food in he trash can just in case they would play and I'm saddened that they did. I will Never eat here again and I will make it My business to let people know about my POOR EXPERIENCE. I'm still hungry at work and very disappointed!!!! read more

Back again for some shrimp roti, calliou and a vegetable patty. Service fast and food tasty! The fellas are professional and very helpful. They are engaging with regulars and first timers alike. Please visit this place, you will not be disappointed. read more

I'm not sure how to rate this place. One dish was great and the other horrible. The curry chicken was really good. Them meat was tender, the flavor was good. It came with peas and rice and cabbage. The peas and rice was good but those weren't pigeon peas. I believe it may have been red beans. I also ordered shrimp roti. It was the worse roti I've even had. The roti skin was tough and wasn't cooked all the way. Raw flour fell from the inside of it when pulled apart. Although the roti had good flavor, the shrimp was so overlooked that it was mushy. I was hugely disappointed. I'm not sure if I will be back. read more

Outstanding! I ate my food hours later and still it tasted like I was having authentic Ackee, saltfish and dumplings just like in any Jamaican kitchen. Big Up! read more

Figured I'd give this place one more chance. I purchased a curry chicken roti. I can say I'm highly disappointed. The roti was filled with chicken legs and large leg bones, there was 1 potato, the curry was bland with no taste, and the roti crust in places was rock hard as if it had been heated in microwave. read more

The guys in there are very nice and they never overcook my curry , or over season my rice . I will say one of my favorite Jamaican spots. LOVE IT read more

Conveniently located nestled in District Heights Md. Smooth jamaican music permeates the air as soon as you open the front door. Well lit, lots of parking and nice staff. Authentic flavored Jerk..spicy with a little more sweet than my liking but still formidable. Side of cabbage and peas and rice came with my order. Great portion sizes! I favor the made to order plantains, but they went well with the heat of the Jerk. Great place to grab some Carribean on your way home or even if you are hungry and in that part of town. Definitely satiated my Carribean Cravings! Free Wi-Fi and Kids eat free read more

Caribbean Grill - Sweet get spicy jerk chiken..callaloo. .fried plantains! Jerk..not for the faint of heart! - Caribbean Near Me - District Heights, Maryland

This place was surprisingly delicious. First, I called ahead to order a large jerk chicken dinner as well as a large oxtail for a friend of mine. Like Most places, you get rice and peas and cabbage on the side. Unfortunately, I hate cabbage. So I asked for plantains instead--this is where he said he was charging me extra for the plantains. I was a bit peeved but fine. I wen to pick up my food And it was neatly placed in a paper bag inside a plastic bag. Perfect because when they opened it, they had poured jerk sauce overwhelmingly all over my rice. Personally, I like to pour it myself but whatever. Nevertheless the food was ok. The rice was unfortunately dry but still tasty (the jerk sauce saved it). Maybe it had been over cooked or sitting there for awhile but it had some hard pieces. Next the portion was plentiful. I mean two large legs and two large thighs. This was good for lunch for two days for me! Now to the plantains, dry and overcooked. Tuh! I'm not saying this place was terrible but maybe they had an off day. The food had potential I'll say. I appreciate the kindness of the sales associate. Also you can see the chef cooking the food when you go inside which is nice. I'm taking away 2 stars for charging me extra for plantain (most carribbean spots have plantain WITH their meal not an add on) and another star because the food wasn't tasty. However I wouldn't write it off just yet. My friend said her oxtail was great and there's also 2 other locations. I would be willing to give this place another shot! read more

Man ole man, I was doing Uber a couple of months ago and would get multiple request for pick up. So I decided on yesterday to try red beans & rice with curry and it was so delicious. So today I stopped by for a curry chicken (all white meat) yummmy for my tummy. It was soo good and the chicken falling off the bone! It was nicely seasoned and just so delicious read more

I ordered some brown stew chicken with rice and peas and cabbage through grubhub. This was the worst brown stew chicken I've had in my life. Very salty, I never had salty brown stew chicken. Also not fresh, both the rice and the chicken had a funny smell when I got it out of the package. It was clearly more than a day old food, they should not be selling stale food to their customers. I had to throw everything away. So disappointed because they used to be good. They don't even deserve one star. read more

Used UberEats to get a dish of oxtail w/ goat delivered, making the request of "No Onion." All the time I have used UberEats I never had a restaurant call before pick up. Well CG did and let me know that there were onion in the dish, however it was transparent offering to change my order if necessary before the driver showed up. I thought that was cool, not many place call customers to address their "special requests" and just send whatever they want to you, totally disregarding. The food arrive steaming hot and HEAVY....my goodness you get alot for your buck. The dish was flavorful and tender. I will definitely patronize this place again. read more

I went to their Landover location, it's a Friday night I wanted fish so I ordered the snapper. The food was cooked to order & it was actually just how I remember it in JA. I'm thinking this will be my go to spot & they have a frequent visitor card...sorry no picture of the food I ate it before I thought to post a review read more

This was a horrible experience. I ordered oxtail, rice and cabbage. The oxtail was tough and had a sauce on it take taste like bbq. The rice was undercooked and hard. The cabbage was bland. I bought two orders in this transaction for $50. This meal wasn't worth 1/3 of the amount. I didn't even finish the "food" - I threw it away. There was no love or care put into the cooking. I'll never go back. read more

This is long overdue but this is a true gem in Maryland. I got the oxtail several times and it was amazing! True Jamaican style. They are also on Uber eats! read more

I've tried this place several times in several different ways and just can't get behind it. The positive yelp reviews sucked me in as I tend to believe yelp consumers. And I didn't give up easily on this place because it's super convenient to my house. But I'm beginning to think I must always go at the wrong time or order the wrong thing because I'm just not seeing what others are seeing. Yelp may have drew me in but the food at this place spit me out. I won't be going back. My first experience was with the jerk chicken. The second experience was with jerk wings. And in the last experience, I ordered curry chicken through UberEATS. Every single time, whether I've gone in or ordered through the app, I've received cold food. Every single time! Which makes me think that items are cooked a few times per day and just sit there--not refreshed very often and not in containers that contain the heat and moisture. I've been to other Caribbean restaurants in the area (see my raving review for Taste Buds) that seem to have a similar system of preparing food in advance but never ever ever serve cold food. I don't want to get food from your restaurant and immediately have to put it in the microwave every single time. That does not preserve the original flavor that I'm seeking! The award for best meal (or maybe just the best cold meal) definitely goes to the curry chicken. The flavors of the chicken itself were pretty on point. And I liked that they have a white meat option. The rice and peas and cabbage, though, were just okay. If you know when/how to get the curry chicken served fresh and hot, then by all means eat here. read more

Curry chicken was very good. Oxtail was okay. I've had better but it was good enough that I would order again. The patties were fresh and very good! The salt fish and callaloo had very very little salt fish and way too much callallo. It wasn't balanced. But they gave plenty of provisions. That's a plus. Although, I wouldn't order it again. The rum cake was very very very good! The place had great service. I will be back. read more

Food always on point my boyfriend loves their Jerk chicken and the people are very friendly

I visited Carribbean Grill last week. The food was delicious and great customer service. I went back today because I wanted jerk chicken again. First, the young lady on the register said "cash only , is that Ok?" I left got cash, came back, placed my order and sat down. I waited patiently for my order. After some time I looked over and saw her mouth moving but I couldn't hear because the music was playing. I finally got up, went over and asked if she was talking to me. She replied "yes, I been calling you for a while". I said that I didn't hear her call me because of the music. She had the nerve to say to me that everybody else heard me calling them. I couldn't believe how rude she was. How did she know if I had a hearing problem or not! The one star is not for the food, because it good. The one star is for her rudeness to me! read more

I received an order from here that disgusted me. As you can see from the pics the food is not thoroughly cooked it is bleeding. When I call the establishment to let them know of my encounter they informed me that they cannot guarantee that the chicken will not be bleeding based upon where they get the chickens from. No matter how long they cook them they cannot guarantee it won't be bloody inside. What in the entire hell. read more

Tree Stars Easy parking, friendly customer service, spacious and clean interior. I've been here twice since the name change (and a few times when it was Tropicana). I'm not sure if they got new management or a new chef, but the food doesn't taste like I recall. The jerk in me always gets jerk chicken, so I've had the jerk wings and chicken. This place's jerk chicken has a hint of sweetness to it and a lot of spice. My take on this chicken is that if you are in the mood for a sweet jerk sauce, then it will be very appealing. I'm not particularly fond of this style, so it wouldn't be my go-to Jamaican spot. I also got to sample the curry shrimp. The shrimp was mushy. In the bite I had, if I had not visually seen that it was curry shrimp, I would not have known shrimp was in it. A pleasant bonus was the fried dumpling bread. It was sweet on the outside and made for great dipping. Another plus is that they give you a good portion size. You will get two meals out of a large. In conclusion, this place has potential, but I'd poke around the menu to be on the safe side. This isn't my number 1 spot for Jamaican, but they may have something that tickles your fancy. read more

This place is HORRID! I ordered curry goat and it was so bland. The cook was kinda rude to boot. How are you gonna be rude and your food's not that good? I will be going to the spot in dc, Pimento Grill or wait until Taste of Caribbean to open down the street. Another turn off was there was A HUGE pot of rice n peas sitting in the back with minimal cover on it and there was a fly or two in the restaurant. Yeah, no! Not going back there ever. read more

Caribbean Grill - Curry goat - Caribbean Near Me - District Heights, Maryland

In my opinion the best item on their menu is the escovitch fish. I've tried their curry and jerk which was under-flavored as if the meat wasn't seasoned and just cooked into the gravy. As with many Carribbean restaurants that I've experienced, your dish will be piled high with rice and peas. read more

I followed the reviews and thought I should try this place out. I went there on a Sunday and there was not a crowd so I got my food pretty fast. I ordered the curried goat (a large because I was confident in the reviews and really hungry lol). I also ordered the coco bread and plantains. The plantain were sitting out on display in a dish they were not fresh and cold when I received them (Sardis has better plantains because they are fresh). The curry goat was flavorless and under seasoned. I was so disappointed that I spent $20 on a meal that was flavorless. The only thing that was good was the coco bread. I basically spent $20 on coco bread b/c that was the only thing good. I will have to doctor up the curry goat with more seasonings.... But don't was your money! read more

Great flavor! Great customer service! Filling portions! Would recommend. Food ready in timely manner.

I had ackee and salt fish. The ackee was good. It was probably frozen from Jamaica. The mixed vegetables were good as was the rice & beans. I would like to try their other dishes read more
