Oh my god. The moment the oxtail entered my mouth, my world was forever changed. An explosion of…read moreunique and heavenly flavors. It was so tender and flavorful, literally falling off the bone. 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.

I waited 30 minutes on Friday, only to be told that my order had never been picked up or processed…read more The situation was handled very matter-of-factly, with little concern and delayed apology for the inconvenience. I then waited another 45 minutes for the food and was told it would take an additional seven minutes - -turned into 20mins for the beef patty. The restaurant clearly has high customer traffic, so I hope the food is good enough to justify the excessive wait. However, the lack of communication, urgency, and any attempt to compensate for the delay made the overall service experience extremely disappointing. Food satisfaction: Pending.

No, this is not jerk chicken at all…read more I really wanted to enjoy Jerks of the Caribbean, but unfortunately, this was one of the most disappointing jerk chicken meals I've ever had. The chicken itself was moist and juicy, but it had virtually no flavor or depth. Jerk chicken should have layers of seasoning and that unmistakable jerk flavor. This tasted bland and, honestly, nothing like the jerk chicken I know and enjoy. I have nothing positive to save about the shrimp tacos on cold tortillas. Sauce tasted like Italian dressing lol The best thing on my plate was the potato salad. Unfortunately, even the mac and cheese had a problem: the noodles were severely overcooked.

The staff are always friendly and make good conversation, and the drinks are always a good strength. Most recently, I tried one of the flavored margaritas and left very pleased! When I come here, I typically get the curry goat, which comes with rice, chickpeas, and potatoes. The most recent time I visited, the potatos were going to take a little longer to cook, so they offered me a choice between cabbage or greens instead. I went with the collard greens, and they were really good! They seemed to be cooked with a lot of butter, which was new for me when it comes to collard greens, but I still loved them overall. Bammy's is located in Navy Yard, so parking isn't always the easiest. But if you're able to snag a spot or you're already walking around the area, I definitely recommend stopping by!

It took almost 20 minutes for the food on a Thursday afternoon. I appreciated the self order kiosk but you'd with all hands on meals it wouldn't take as long. As for the food, it was a big miss unfortunately. The cabbage was mushy. Decent taste though. The peas in the rice were hard and undercooked. The jerk chicken was cooked nice and moist. However, they put a mango sauce on top which maybe its me, but that was not the play. The beef patty was the best part of the meal but was one of the flattesr patties I've ever had. I may try to go back and try something else since its super close but I'm not going to rush to do so.

The staff was incredibly attentive, professional, and thoughtful, I was really delighted with everyone's service. The space is dimly lit, cozy, and intimate which falls in line with a nice date night The oysters were easily some of the best I've had, and the shrimp creole and Ben's bowl were just as impressive. The lamb sauce deserves its own shoutout because I genuinely couldn't get enough of it. The wagyu oxtails were incredibly tender, could barely pick it up with my fork, practically falling off the bone. The drinks were great, too, we got a Sorel Ricky but there's definitely a solid selection to choose from. I'd heard great things about Dogon, and they will definitely see me again!

An Unexpected Dinner That Exceeded Every Expectation!…read more Sometimes the best dining experiences are the ones you don't plan! I hadn't eaten dinner that evening, and a friend suggested I check out the restaurants inside the hotel. I was already familiar with DOGON, but I had no idea it was located there or that I was so close to it! What started as a spontaneous decision to grab dinner turned into one of the most memorable dining experiences I've had in quite some time. And the hospitality began before I even made it inside the restaurant! I believe the gentleman assisting guests at the hotel entrance was named Malik. I was having a little trouble locating DOGON, and he was incredibly helpful in getting me to the appropriate person who could assist with seating. Rather than simply pointing me in the right direction, he took the initiative to personally connect me with the hostess. It may seem like a small gesture, but those are the details I appreciate. Exceptional hospitality isn't limited to what happens once you're seated. It begins with the very first interaction, and Malik certainly set the tone for what turned out to be a wonderful evening. I was seated at the bar, and let me just say, what a beautiful space! The atmosphere was sophisticated, inviting, and perfect for enjoying a cocktail and a great meal. And then there was Ivory! Ivory was my bartender and server, and she was absolutely phenomenal! Attentive, personable, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. Since this was my first time dining at DOGON, Ivory took the time to walk me through the menu and offer recommendations. I always appreciate when someone is knowledgeable about what they're serving and can confidently guide you toward dishes and cocktails that showcase what a restaurant has to offer. It makes such a difference, especially when you're visiting somewhere for the first time. One of her recommendations was a cocktail called The Astronomer, and when I tell you this was one of the BEST cocktails I've ever tasted in my life, I am not exaggerating! The combination of flavors was incredible. I remember notes of chai and lavender, and the balance was absolutely beautiful. It was aromatic, smooth, and unlike anything I've had before. I would return for this cocktail alone! Now, let's get into the food! I ordered the oxtail patties and Hoe Crab, both of which were absolutely delicious. The flavors were rich, beautifully executed, and memorable. I also ordered the barbecue greens and cornbread to take home, along with a little shot of something that I couldn't quite identify. Everything I tried was delicious, and Ivory's recommendations certainly did not disappoint! But as much as I enjoyed the food and cocktails, the hospitality is what truly stood out. From Malik taking the initiative to assist me upon arrival to Ivory taking the time to explain the menu, offer thoughtful recommendations, and ensure I was well taken care of throughout my visit, the service was exceptional from beginning to end. I dine out frequently, and while great food is always appreciated, outstanding hospitality is what makes a restaurant memorable. It's what makes you want to return, recommend it to others, and genuinely look forward to your next visit. And of course, hats off to Chef Kwame! His creativity, attention to detail, and ability to bring bold, distinctive flavors together are truly impressive. You can tell there's intention behind the menu, and I appreciate a chef who creates dishes that leave a lasting impression. DOGON is a beautiful reflection of his culinary vision, and I look forward to exploring more of the menu on my next visit! My final thoughts? DOGON absolutely exceeded my expectations. From the beautiful ambiance and exceptional cocktails to the delicious food and outstanding hospitality, this was an experience worth sharing. I walked in without any plans to dine there that evening and left thoroughly impressed. Will I return? ABSOLUTELY! 100%! A special thank you to Malik and Ivory for making an unexpected dinner such a wonderful experience. It's refreshing to encounter people who genuinely understand the importance of hospitality and take pride in creating a memorable experience for their guests. DOGON, you have officially earned a spot on my list of restaurants worth revisiting!
