The crispy kale was fantastic and the mango chutney balances a hint of spice. I got the omnivore paratha tiffin box with tomato Choka and I got roti instead of paratha. Fantastic decision! Great moments! That roti was spectacular! My friend also loved her oxtail. The Charon Beni was my favorite sauce and I enjoyed the heat of the house pepper sauce. They did a nice interior upgrade since the last time I went, but it's still small and intimate. I love recommending this place!!

Flavorful, casual Caribbean food on H street!…read more Let's get right into it... Food: Snapper escoveitch : 5/5 perfectly seasoned and cooked. Flaky. The pickled peppers and onions on top were the perfect addition. Coconut rice paired perfectly as well. Crispy kale: 5/5 great flavor with a little chutney on top. Slight spice but not too much. Large portion as a side, definitely shareable. Friend enjoyed the curried chicken bowl though I did not try it! Bread pudding: 2/5. Not the worst I've ever had. But lacked flavor. Dense. Would not order again. Passion fruit spicy margarita was good. I requested light passion fruit. Just enough spice. Service was friendly! Small restaurant so would make reservations, even though it was not packed for my Friday evening dinner. There is a 20% fair wage fee included on all bills. Which states it is "not" the tip. That's pretty significant

My brother/friend and I went yesterday for lunch and got the oxtail bowl and the pepper shrimp bowl. We were full for the rest of the day, and mind you, this was around 2:30 The service was amazing. The bar manager gave us great conversation while also letting us know about their happy hour and dinner hours. 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. Definitely check them out!

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 mean there was only another couple at the time I visited but also the food came out quickly so huge plus! And the restaurant is spacious and casual so enough space for large parties. Overall I enjoyed it but there are a couple things that fell short! I ordered the chicken roti platter. 1.The roti! It's a very small portion served in a small coconut shaped bowl compared to the amount of food you got on the platter. I thought more was coming and unfortunately it was balled up in shredded little pieces that were kind of dry and i couldn't eat it properly with my sides. I thought maybe I had a bad batch but my friend had the same portion and complaint. Unfortunately no pic of that. 2: Honestly the plating is meant to be aesthetically pleasing but it was very hard to eat bone-in chicken out of a bowl on a saucer full of more bowls with a knife and fork. It was better when I took it to go and had a plate at home. Please reconsider this for the diners experience. 3. The doubles was my fave! It's a small app but very delicious and had a slight kick to it.

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...

Overall, the food was decent. I ordered the jerk wings and the brown stew chicken with rice and peas and cabbage. The wings were a nice size, not too large, which is exactly how I prefer them. The brown stew chicken wasn't bad either, and everything was solid overall. I'd definitely say this is a solid Jamaican spot. That said, I will probably forever be chasing the truly authentic Jamaican food I've had while actually in Jamaica, so my bar may be a little unfairly high.
