After drooling over the plates that went by, we asked the owner to help us narrow down our options. We landed on the Chicharron Sampler for an appetizer. For our main courses, we had the Bandeja Paisa and the Paella Caribena. We were also eyeing the Dominican-style beef stew and the Sancocho Soup. We asked for a sample of the Sancocho soup and that's when we found out they make everything to order - including the soup! His wife went into the kitchen and whipped up a sample of the soup ... we didn't mind the wait for the sample as we knew she was working her magic! It did not disappoint. We ordered a large soup to go! It'll be cold later this week and this will be perfect in the rainy weather. This place reminds me of home - the way my mother cooks ... the flavors are developed and everything was cooked to perfection. I did a little dance in my chair with each bite! The portions were large - we'll have left overs for the next several days! And I CANNOT wait! We're looking forward to coming back and trying something new! PHOTO DISCLOSURE: We dove into the Chicharron Sampler before we took the photo. What you see is just a small portion of the actual serving size. Also, the photo of the soup was the made from scratch made to order sample of the Sancocho soup.

We are always looking for Dominican food or Puerto Rican food in our area. We stumbled on this…read morerestaurant one day while driving. We stopped in today.

The curry goat as well was incredibly good, very tender and a lot of meat. Rice and peas was the best side I tried. Some of the best food I have ever tasted, I am not exaggerating. Portions were great, left feeling STUFFED. Service was kind, professional, and actually very quick. Menu was super straightforward and easy to understand, even for someone who has never eaten Jamaican food before. It's extremely clean and professional inside, very welcoming. And prices are very reasonable, especially considering the size of the portions. Would definitely suggest getting the oxtail with rice and peas and some sort of vegetable for the best all around eating experience. Jerk chicken patty is also a nice option if you're looking for something quicker. Please try this place. You will NOT be disappointed.

This came recommended as the best authentic Jamaican restaurant for Rasta pasta in all of DMV…read more Absolutely NOT. The salmon Rasta pasta first of all was priced one on the menu but at the register $3 more. They weren't hearing it and not gentle or caring so I just hurried and ordered. Well, turns out they're not worth it nor a return visit anyway. The Rasta pasta was gross. It was literally SO SALTY and spicy I couldn't enjoy or finish it all at home. Not to mention I've never seen Rasta pasta topped with shredded mozzarella cheese it looked strange. Nothing is beating nyc Rasta pasta. I don't recommend this restaurant.

As you walked in, there's limited seating but manageable. You are greeted by Cassie who has a genuine, energetic and friendly personality. We ordered 5 items: 1) Curry chicken patty 2) Beef patty 3) Spicy jerk chicken platter 4) Oxtail platter 5) Lemon rum cake. The patties were very delicious but our favorite was the curry one. The crust was light and the filling was full of flavor. My wife ordered the spicy jerk chicken served with rice, beans and cabbage. The chicken has this amazing smoked flavor with the right amount of seasoning and can be cool down with the sauté cabbage mixture with peppers. I ordered the oxtail platter served with rice, beans and plantains and it didn't disappoint. It was aromatic, tender and filled with umami. Once I finished my platter, I help finish the spicy chicken platter and my mouth was still in fire .. lol. Luckily we ordered the lemon rum cake which actually cool down our taste buds. The cake was small but it wasn't too overpowering of the rum. It was a delicate, lightly sweet and perfectly balanced. Once you take that first bite, you won't be able to stop until it's gone. Cassie was attentive and knowledgeable. The restaurant was clean and has some interior decor. We will definitely make a return visit to try other items on the menu.

I stumbled across this place today and am glad I did. I got the fried whiting special and it had…read moretwo pieces of fish, shrimp, fries and hush puppies. The flavor of the shrimp was outstanding. The fries were good and I enjoyed the hush puppies too. The fish was on the salty side but was solid overall (it had a few bones too so be careful). I also got a jerk chicken and rib platter and while the jerk sauce was savory and spicy, it too was a bit too salty. If they can tone down the salt just a bit this would be 5 star worthy. But it is still good and worth repeating visits.

The team is always so lovely with service. They let me try things my first visit and they're fast. I tried the jerk chicken & curry chicken patties, the jerk one is delicious I personally didn't like the other. I will say last time I got the jerk patty it seemed like less chicken and I'd prefer it less ground. I only ever order the curry chicken lunch as it's affordable and sizable they went up a dollar recently but it's so delicious. They sell Jamaican ice creams as well by pint I'll try them soon. I've had those in nyc so I'm sure they're great. The Guinness beer flavor is surprisingly good. Go, enjoy!!!

This place is a hit or miss. First, I tried to call in my order, but my call went to voice mail…read more When I got there, a young guy was on the phone, on what appeared to be personal. Next, this place have quality chicken, but you never know what they have left for the day. As far as I know, this is the only real authentic Caribbean restaurant in Woodbridge VA. However, they are not consistent with their menu items. For example, I ordered a chicken roti. It usually has chicken, chickpeas, potatoes, and loads of spices. On 01/10/25 the waiter ask if I wanted chickpeas, I said yes, this was unusual. Normally, it's a given. When I got home, all I had was a plain roti with chicken. When I call to complain, the same person said they perhaps ran out of chickpeas and potatoes as if it was not a issue. Why wouldn't the chef disclose this upfront? This is not the first time they were out of menu items, but normally they let you know. The fact that I experienced this more than once, I cannot continue to support this establishment.
