Caribbean Dish - Goat Buss Up with slight peppa and tamarind sauce

Caribbean Dish

3.9(33 reviews)

At heart, I'm a man that truly enjoy most Caribbean dishes ( oxtails, goat, curry/jerk chicken,…read moreroti, etc ) So, I set out on a quest to give a new Caribbean cuisine restaurant a shot at winning me over. That's when I bumped into Caribbean Dish... The name got me, yes it's basic, but the title was exactly what I was looking for. The restaurant is in a small unassuming parking lot... if you don't know it's there, you probably will miss it ( so glad I didn't !! ) The minute I walked in, I felt authentic family vibes ( something I look for when choosing my Caribbean locations ) The service was very friendly, and they cleared everything up when I wasn't sure if my particular craving could be fulfilled ( the combo I desired wasn't on their daily menu ) My sights were set on the oxtail and curry goat combo ( of course with rice & peas and veggies ! ) And when I say the goat was tender, and seasoned to perfection... while the oxtails had that juicy meatiness that will for sure keep me coming back. The rice & peas were cooked just right ( texture was on point ) and the veggies still had that freshness that brought everything else together. I love my Caribbean dishes saucy and not dry ( they get two thumbs up in that department ! ) Family vibes, cheerful greeting, and amazing food.... Caribbean Dish you just locked yourself in a loyal customer !!!!! Give them a shot and I can almost guarantee you won't be disappointed !!!

I have been wanting to avoid this, but I think it's time that I mention it finally. I tried through…read moreseveral outlets to address it offline and did not get a response. This is some of the best Trinidadian food in the area, and arguably the best breakfast and doubles. But unfortunately, and I see I'm not the only one, it is the owners that bring it down. My sister was visiting all the way from NYC (where she can easily get amazing Trini food) and I was so excited for her to try this place. It was my first time coming on an afternoon, and they happen to be out of a couple of the things that we were really excited about (i.e. doubles) and so my sister tried to make a veggie platter. He asked what she would like in it and he responded "that's not a veggie" and proceeded to say other snarky comments that got increasingly inflammatory. She called him out for being rude and he actually said to me "I feel bad for what you have to deal with, you two can't be close." The embarrassment I had was immeasurable and I felt so bad for being so excited for her to experience that. It doesn't matter how delicious food is anywhere, but if the ones in charge are disrespectful, there's a moral issue. They also forgot my side of pumpkin that we paid for. Take this information as you will, but if you do go, my recommendation is to avoid talking with them as much as possible and try online ordering/pickup or delivery. It's really unfortunate.

I was visiting the area to assist at a Yelp Elite Event and was trying to find some good lunch on…read moremy way to the airport. I ended up parking pretty far from the restaurant I'd intended to go to, when I noticed a "2025 Michelin" sign in the window of this little place. Of course, I had to go in. Pretty sure this was my first time eating at a Michelin-star restaurant! We just don't have those up here (yet). The server brought me a menu (and a beer) and explained how everything worked. And while I was tempted to order one of everything, it was just lunch after all so I settled on their ahhhhmazing Oxtail Bowl. I subbed pelau for the coconut rice and wow...just this layer itself would have made an excellent meal and I would happily eat a bowl of just pelau! But of course I had to dive into the succulent, fall-off-the-bone oxtails, too. They had clearly been cooked in some kind of magical way, and were presented with a rich, sinfully good sauce and topped with house-pickled vegetables. My only regret is there wasn't enough space in my belly to order one of their appies or desserts! I guess this means I'll have to come back. Which is just what I'm planning to do on my trip to DC for another event in a few weeks. Hey, it's a tough job but somebody has to do it!

I used to come to Cane years ago, so I'm glad to see they're still up and running!…read more It's a pretty small space, but I actually like that about it. We stopped by on a Saturday night, and there were no reservations available, but luckily we were able to grab seats at the bar. One thing I really appreciated was how fast the food came out! We had our food in less than 10 minutes, which was impressive, especially for a Saturday night. I ordered the oxtails, which I'd give a 7/10. The flavor was definitely there, but they were a little too fatty for my liking. I also got the Island drink, which I thought was pretty good! My friend ordered the rum punch, and yeah...that tasted nothing like rum punch . Definitely disappointing. I usually get the snapper when I come here, but whew, the price has gotten a little too high for me lol. Overall, still a nice spot with good flavors and super quick service. Just wish the food was a little less pricey and the drinks were more consistent!

St. James Caribbean was definitely a win! The food was delicious, flavorful, and reasonably priced…read more The fried snapper, oxtails, and paratha roti platter were 10/10 across the board. Everything was seasoned well and full of flavor. My guests are originally from the islands and gave the food their stamp of approval, which made the experience even better! The music was on point, the atmosphere was lively, and the wait staff was friendly and attentive. It's a great spot if you're looking for good Caribbean food, good vibes, and reasonable prices. I also learned that their sister restaurant, Cane, offers a more culturally rooted Caribbean dining experience. I'd love to try both and compare, especially because the flavors at St. James were so good. Definitely recommend and would come back!

The crab fritters and pepper shrimp were both great, and I really enjoyed the black rice. My waiter suggested getting the spice on the side, and I'm glad I listened because it was super spicy! I sat downstairs at a two-person table. I would've preferred a booth, but it didn't seem like they had any. The hostess and waiter were both nice. My only food complaint was that collard greens were the only vegetable option. It would've been nice to have another choice. I loved the playlist as well! My friend got the oxtail and said it was pretty large and good. Overall, I enjoyed my meal. I'd go back if someone invited me, but it wasn't a place I left raving about.

[Disclaimer: I was HUNGRY at the time of this meal, but I'm fairly certain I would give the same…read morerating to Trini Vybez any time and day.] The oxtail platter was some of the best food I've had in DC -- juicy, tender, flavorful. Not overpowered by any specific ingredient or taste profile, the oxtail struck a very lovely balance. I would dock a half star for the smaller than ideal portions, and the fact that my two sides of plantains came as a total of four-ish pieces, but I'm hoping it was just the result of getting there at the very end of the night and supplies running low. Service was fairly quick at their food truck, too. I waited on a very short line (again, end of the night, when most people had already eaten), and my number was called in a timely manner. I tasted one of my friend's curry shrimp dish, though, and while I enjoyed the flavor, the quality of the shrimp didn't feel comparable to the quality of the oxtail. More than understandable for a food truck operation, but if you're picky about your seafood like me, you may want to opt for something else.

ORDER NOW! This food truck came by my apartment complex and…read morenavy yard, and I'm so glad I gave it a try! Had their vegan double and babyyyyyyy! 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!
