    Food
    Toya J.

    An enjoyable buffet. I took a fellow Trinidadian friend with me to see if this food was the real deal and it was signed and approved by his getting up 3 times. I had the curry and stewed chicken, salad, fresh fruit, steamed potatoes, a curry chick pea dish with potatoes, a flavorful rice, macaroni pie, and sautéed cabbage. They also had vegetarian options on the menu as a meat substitute. Also, some sweet cakes, but no traditional American breakfast food. There were a number of beverages available fruit juice and sodas. Only thing I wished for was Trini music, I saw the speaker, not sure why there was no music, but this would have been a nice touch. Definitely need some music to add ambience. It wasn't too busy, not sure if this is the norm, but I dare say try it, you might like it.

    Vegan curry chicken, mac n cheese and curried potatoes and chickpeas.

    This delivered, very difficult to find good Trini food in the DMV. Loves it all. Tasty, delicious and not overpriced I will be back for more.

    My issue is I like their food but this time the portions are a lil odd to me. If I order vegan curry chiken,, why is it in the side portion of the container? It really disappoints me. This is my second time and we ordered 4 plates and all were made like we ordered sides.

    "Roti" and "Doubles"- I use these names VERY loosely

    I actually liked it here. It took a long while for the food to be ready but it was definitely worth…read morethe wait. The roti was delicious and was a great portion. My son got the goat he said it was cooked well and it was tender. I got the potatoes and channa sooooo freaking good. I also got bust up shot in chicken, channa, and potato. I'm telling you the food was so good. It also was very affordable. Also the chicken patties are discounted around closing. Bogo to be exact. The place is nice inside.

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? You still have my money!?!? You're a tyrant stealing from the community. if I'm a con man, you're a thief, liar and you're gonna make someone sick. get it together. Please post whatever evidence you have. Make me into what I know you to be. I came all the way across town to exchange food and you disrespect me. You're not worth the corner stone you sit on!

    Had a craving for Trini food tonight and was looking forward to trying out this restaurant. I went…read moreto the website (https://www.sunrisedccaribbean.com/menus) listed on Yelp and Google and found that it was not up to date since it listed the vegan beef as being accompanied with ice cream (see picture). I called the restaurant to let them know about the error and inquire about the menu, so I could place an order. The man who picked up the phone literally laughed at me and said "I don't do online" and handed it off to someone else. The woman he handed to did not have a much better attitude. I shared the website menu issues and even took the time to send her the screenshots. I asked her if she could help me with a menu / offerings so I could place an order, and she said they were closing down. I reminded her that it's 7:23 PM and they don't close until 10:00 PM (per Yelp) or 8:00 PM (per Google). Her response was only that I could order whatever they have left, if I wanted to - verbatim. I wanted to ensure that I wasn't reading into it, and even said, "It doesn't sound like you want me to order", and she just said that it's up to me how I want to take it. =( The interaction was quite disappointing and far from welcoming, so regrettably, I will not be dining here and will check out other Caribbean restaurants in the area, like Teddy's and the Angry Jerk.

    The flavors of the cakes and homemade juices here are astounding. I came for the Strawberry Rum…read moreCake but they were sold out. 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.

Let's discuss my ratings: Ambiance: 2/10 very outdated decor; the small place had a packed hoarder look. I liked the reggae music being played which is why I gave it a 2. Service: average. It's a carryout type of place. 5/10. FOOD: 1/10. Let me break it down. Coco Bread-7/10, Calolloo-8/10. It was very oily and greasy but tasted fine. Brown Stew Chicken with rice and beans and cabbage. Chicken was dry and tasted old 1/10. Rice and beans were subpar-3/10. Cabbage was too oily and did not serve the PUNCH I wanted. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED! Want more authentic opinions?

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.

We loved the beef pies so much that we ordered some to go - must try them! My parents felt the oxtails would have been better in a stew but still enjoyed it. Keep in mind the restaurant is maybe 10 tables and super small so reservations are a must. Overall would come back again!

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).
