We asked what would feed 1 adult and they said, 1 plate. But as you can see, they are so generous with their portions, this easily fed 2 people and we were in food heaven! This was our first intro into oxtails which was brown, fall off the bone. The sauce separates into a lot of fat (this is a given with braising oxtails) so its best to eat hot and fresh! The mac and cheese was on the baked side of the spectrum with a warm heat from the jerk seasoning. Rice and peas were a great and fulfilling base, I have also seen people order a side of cabbage and definitely will try that next to balance better with the oxtails. read more

Reggae Vibes Qzine - Oxtail Platter: Jerk Mac 'N' Cheese, Rice 'N' Peas - Caribbean Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

We recently had a family gathering and ordered three half-pans of jerk chicken, curry chicken, and rice and peas (one of each) to serve 20 guests. The gentleman who answered the phone was extremely kind and patient and actually told us that for the number of guests we were hosting, we only needed half a pan of rice and peas, rather than the whole pan we requested. And he was right! When most companies try to upsell customers, this was an unexpected and much appreciated surprise! The food was ready when promised and he brought it to the car for us. Everything was absolutely DELICIOUS! I highly recommend Reggae Vibes for both catering and individual meals. We will definitely be back often. read more

Well! That was a pleasant surprise. I found myself in a pinch and wanted to eat before going to meet up with some folks. I decided to do a very rare thing and order delivery from somewhere... Reggae Vibes came up, and I was confused how I had never heard of them. Like how??? Anyways, I decided to order the curried goat and jerk mac and cheese. It came within the expected time frame (has nothing to do with the restaurant itself), but I was pleased to see that the bag was sealed, and the food was still warm when it arrived. Good protocol, Reggae Vibes! I got so excited when I opened the tray that I didn't get a picture (SORRY). It came with steamed cabbage & rice & peas (the two options I picked)... and... it was nothing short of delicious. Great curry flavor, rice & peas & cabbage were tasty, and... this is probably one of the best mac and cheeses I have had from a Caribbean restaurant. I got the kick from the jerk and it was just SO GOOD. My mission now is to go to the actual restaurant and see the magic happen in action. This might have worked its way into my top local Jamaican spots...! read more

Idk how long this place has been here or why I'm just now trying it but they have the best Jamaican macaroni and cheese I've tasted in Maryland. The consistency is great, it's not dry, and it's super cheesy. We also tried the oxtail which was rich and hearty. Lots of flavor. The jerk chicken was also good, I love that you can taste that it came from a grill. Just delicious. I'll definitely be adding them to my list of regular places to eat. I forgot to take pictures because I devoured the food. Lolol They also give large portions so you can share a plate if you want. My daughter also liked the beef patties and coco bread. read more

No food - take out only Parking is difficult, it's best if someone drops you off and then you feel great after eating. Got jerk chicken, jerk mac and cheese, and oxtail. Amazing food all around and the prices are fair, total is 46, so about 20 per person. Relatively fast service and good process. read more

I was skeptical because the customer service was TOO good and the young man at the window was very nice. All that to say that I am very happy to finally find a spot that has amazing Jamaican food as well as great customer service. My partner and I would go to jerk at nite for years because of their rasta pasta, but the quality of service and food there has went down. Reggae Vibes rasta pasta blows it out of the water. So happy to have found my new spot! read more

Great food. Very flavorful, everything that I ordered was fantastic. They catered my brothers wedding and the food and service was amazing. The friendliness of the staff was memorable. I have used them for most of my events. read more

This spot never miss!! Everytime I come here the food is ALWAYS delicious/outstanding. I'm from out of town so when I'm in DC I'm always sure to stop by. Thank you Reggae Vibes! Keep up the great service read more

This place is on the corner of Georgia and Eastern Avenues and is hard to miss with its colorful island colors, Jamaican flag and pictures of food on the wall outside of the restaurant. I ordered the Jammin' Jerk platter (chicken, fried plantain, rice 'n' peas) and a side of steamed cabbage via Door Dash. My pickup time kept being extended on the app, so I decided to just show up to the restaurant to collect my order after thirty minutes. My order was ready and one of the employees explained that there was something wrong with their system. I wondered why they didn't call to update me, but the female employee who greeted me was pleasant, so I didn't make a fuss. The chicken tasted like baked chicken; no jerk flavor. I didn't appreciate the taste of cloves in the rice and peas. The plantains were sweet and delicious. The cabbage had a nice smell, but something on them -- not sure if it was butter or oil -- didn't sit well with me and I wasn't able to finish it. The portion size was large enough for two meals. 2.5 read more

Stumbled on a great find yesterday. Reggae Vibe Qzine.....get's a thumbs up from me! It's good authentic Caribbean food. The restaurant is a standalone location that you can't miss with its bright "Jamaican Proud" exterior. It sort of reminds me of a roadside Jamaican spot that you would while visiting Jamaica and definitely stands out on a the block. This place has all the main Jamaican/Caribbean food staples.....Jerk Chicken, Oxtail, Curry Goat, Brown Stew Chicken , Callaloo.....you name it! It's all here and from the dish I had....the flavors are too. Certain foods they will prepare fresh for you like the curry shrimp or curry fish or seafood dishes. The kitchen is somewhat visible from the ordering window open at the front and you can watch them prepare the meal. Along with your main entree most meals comes with two sides: peas and rice, cabbage, baked mac and cheese, greens...to name a few and and are already prepared. Being that this was my first time here, I went in on their Jerk Chicken and Curry Goat as a test to see if it was authentic and if the flavors were there!! I am happy to report they were! A true test for finding good carribean eats around the DMV is to put a restaurant's Jerk Chicken and Oxtails (which they were out of) to the test. If either dish lacks flavor, kick, the gravy seems watered-down, or the meats are bland or tough......run for the hills, save your $$$ and don't look back!! LOL This was not the case at Reggae Vibes Qzine. The Jerk Chicken was tender, juicy and seasoned to the bone. It had a nice flavor and mild heat....nothing spicy although that's the way I prefer it. The winner of this dish tho' was the sauce! They added a Jerk Sauce that had me sopping it up between each bite and licking my fingers until it was all gone. The only thing missing was more chicken!!...I asked for dark meat and received two pieces of chicken (Thigh and Leg) on a $15 dollar platter. The Curry Goat was delicious as well. A great balance of curry spices and tender goat...all stewed together with potatoes and carrots. It was a great hearty meal and the curry provided the right heat. The sides were a winner too. The peas n' rice had great flavor and cooked true to how it is supposed to be done in coconut milk, thyme and spices. They did used large kidney beans though which I thought was a bit odd...lol... but it was still good. The cabbage was another side I tried that was cooked just the way I like it....a little on the al dente side. Not mushy or overcooked and seasoned perfect. In all, the food was really good. The customer service was great as well. The price point was average to moderate for most of their dishes. The only call out on the downside is the portions. The portions were just okay....not a lot of food for the price in my opinion. Would I go back!??...mostly certainly if I am ever in the the Silver Spring, MD area looking for good Carribean eats. I recommend you try their Jammin Jerk Platter for sure! read more

I got the Oxtail Platter and Coco Bread (not pictured). The way I devoured this whole plate is shameful! It was so flavorful, I received a lot of oxtails which was amazing. I couldn't even wait until I got home. I started eating while I waited for the bus lol. I'll def be back again! read more

The best and most authentic Jamaican food in the Silver Spring/Northern DC area. Their Brown Stew Chicken and Jerk Chicken sandwich is really good and on my frequent eating out rotation. read more

This place is awesome, and the chefs are on point. Kind, generous, and hard working. DO NOT read any review below 4 stars. They are petty and unnecessary, simply doing this establishment a massive disservice. Borderline evil to post something like that at all. read more

Ran across this gem the other day as I was walking though my neighborhood. The bold exterior makes it hard to miss. I was pleasantly surprised that the the flavors were bold to match! I opted for the curry chicken platter with rice and peas and cabbage. Everything was fresh and seasoned perfectly. The person behind the counter was warm and thanked me for coming. The food was prepared and served quickly. Overall, I was very pleased with my visit and will be making this a regular stop. read more

Great curried goat and jerk chicken, I really liked the cabbage, rice and peas and plantains sides we had. It is carry out window only, but very quick prep as most of it is already done. There is a park nearby but we took it home. Sign said the seafood dishes take 30 minutes since they are made to order. Hubby and I both got two meals out of our orders. Prices reasonable. One great thing about the goat was it was mostly meat and only a few bones, sometimes in the past at other places I have found it to be mostly bone. Bones give it flavor though :). This had the flavor, it wasn't super saucy but since we had 30 minutes before we ate it is possible the sauce just soaked into the rice. So happy living somewhere with so many Jamaican food options! read more

If you're looking for REAL Jamaican food, not the watered down version you find all over DC, then you need to go to Reggae Vibes. In true Caribbean fashion they do not stick to opening/closing times advertised. Don't be discouraged though! It will be worth another try if they are closed the first time you visit. This is literally a walk up spot. So plan to eat your food at home or in the nearby park. Your car is another option. Honestly it doesn't matter where you eat this food, because it's just so good! I ordered the curry chicken with rice/peas and cabbage. It was delicious and fresh out of the pot (piping hot). The curry chicken was cooked perfectly and had just the tiniest kick to it, but just right on the spice level. They use the chicken thighs (the best part of the chicken next to the wing). If you're a chicken breast person, then rethink your life please. Don't come here asking for a chicken breast. It ain't happenin. The rice and peas were delish and not dry at all! The cabbage was also cooked and seasoned perfectly. I also ordered a few beef patties, which was wonderful! My partner and I were fighting over the last one. So let that tell you how good it was. He ordered oxtails. I tasted his oxtails and they were also delish. I will say one thing: I typically like my oxtail gravy just a tiny tiny bit thicker and a tiny bit sweeter than theirs. Other than that, no complaints here. We both will be back to get our fix!!! read more

Reggae Vibes catered for my celebration recently, and my guests absolutely loved it. I've shared a clip of one guest saying in his remarks, "I don't know who the chef is, but I want to hire him!," and you can hear guests in the background agreeing and clapping to that. As a host you want your guests to be pleased, and it felt really good to hear such positive comments about the food during and after the event. Reggae Vibes' salmon stole the show. My guests were raving especially about that, but they enjoyed all the food - jerk chicken, etc. Thank you so much again, Reggae Vibes! read more

I have my favorite jerk places in the city but was searching for a different flavor. The food here was ok. The jerk chicken by itself is very flavorful, but in my opinion they put too much jerk sauce on it; the flavor of the sauce doesn't add to the chicken but rather take away from it. If I could order the jerk without sauce, I'd come back for that repeatedly, hands down. The sauce reminded me of uncooked walkerswood. The curry had good flavor. Plantains a lil dry. The rice and peas had too much sauce within it as well, couldn't really tell how the rice and peas was alone. The cabbage also has something on it that makes the flavor. Chicken Patty was flat and dry. Coco bread was bomb. read more

Made a trip to silver spring from northern virginia just to try Reggae Vibes and it did not disappoint! Excellent service & I could smell the deliciousness from a block away! Gentleman helping us was extremely friendly! We ordered 2 oxtail platter with rice and peas & steamed cabbage AND jerk chicken platter to share. Coming from NYC, I've had better oxtails, lacked little flavor. But still very good & tender! Their Jerk chicken tho! BEST JERK CHICKEN I'VER EVER HAD! Better than ones I had in Kingston, Jamaica. After grubbing in our car, we had to go back for one more jerk chicken for dinner! It was that good!!!!!! If you're looking for authentic Jamaican spot, GO & SUPPORT! Thank you for making my day with ur talented cooking! Biggest shoutout to the Chef!! read more

Solid. My boss got curry chicken, plantains, rice and peas. I had curry shrimp, cabbage, and a veggie patty. I definitely wish I'd gotten some rice to go with mine, one because the curry was a bit thin and tow because it was so good! I ended up using the veggie patty to sop up the curry juice off the plate. My patty was just okay. Kind of light on filling and I've tasted better dough. I loved all the veggies in the shrimp curry. Cabbage was solid. My boss ate all her food without complaint or much talking. So there's that. I must say the man at the window was very polite and I very much appreciate the accuracy of the time estimate when I called in my order. I will be back! read more

Yo. This spot took everything good about caribbean restaurants and made it 2.0. Food came out within 5 minutes Had the goat. Fresh. Flavor and solid portion. Plantains on the side. Fresh. Wish I got the cabbage too. Ting grapefruit soda. Fresh. Butter rum cake. Subtle sweetness and rich like cheesecake. Wish I had some cream or jam with this, but it was fresh. I spoke with Andre and he's trying to make Carribean a breeze to get and just as good as the OG mom and pop stops! I think he's doing just that. Good vibes read more

Great, flavorful curry chicken. The beef patty was also nice quality and wasn't dried out like you may find at some of their competitors. I'm looking forward to trying their curry goat and oxtails in the future. read more

Unfortunately home with Covid, but Reggae Vibes hooked it up fat! Big portions of delicious jerk chicken, peas and rice on the side and the cooks were gracious enough to tuck some peas and rice under the chicken! The curry goat was also delicious. My only critique for both proteins is the white meat pieces were drier than the dark. (There's a trick to getting that white meat nice and tender!) Also, I would love for the fat on the goat to be rendered more so the texture would be more melt in your mouth! Of all the sides we tried: plantains, cabbage, peas and rice my wife and I concluded the peas and rice are the best side! Unfortunately we didn't receive our sorrel, but maybe next time. Oh right, I forgot we got a beef patty and a veggie patty. The beef patty was far superior to the veggie, nothing extraordinary in the realm of beef patty but it didn't disappoint. read more

I did not enjoy my oxtails. But the service was good. I would try a different dish if I was back in town again.

First time visiting this restaurant today. I called and it was so refreshing to hear a pleasant, courteous voice on the other(nowadays everyone seems upset that they have to work when you call a place of business). That pleasant tone impressed me first of all. Went to restaurant to order. Found out pleasant person's name is Sean. Great price. Tasty cuisine. Good portions. Wait time was reasonable .Will definitely return and tell my friends. Only drawback is very limited free parking. read more

I had curried chicken. You can tell meat was firm not stringy . Sauce was thick not runny . Is a carry out so don't assume dining in . You must always call in for Jamaican food or be prepared to wait ! I would bring a friend so you can run in and be double parked . Parking is bad read more

Some of the girls and I ordered in lunch as a nice break in a very stressful time. Delivery was quick. Food was yummy. I got the coco bread and the jerk chicken with plantains and cabbage. All was yummy. The one piece of chicken didn't have too much meat on it, but the other side was great. Spices were good and yummy. My only reason I held back a star was there was a few different things on their menu that weren't available. All 3 of us had been wanting to try their butter rum cake and they also mention tofu on the menu but don't carry it anymore. Would absolutely get food from there again. And hopefully the cake will be available to order then! read more

Today, feeling like eating West Indian food and missing home (Brooklyn, NY). I did a Google search and found this place. I read the reviews and was sold. I ordered curry goat and brown stew chicken dinner, steamed cabbage on the side. Everything well curry! They did not disappoint! Food seasoned, spicy on point. The white rice was more that parboiled/brown rice .. otherwise.. I was satisfied. I'll order again, no doubt! read more

I got my hair done at Kedus and was starving! Noticed this Jamaican spot while walking to and from getting hair lol. I ordered oxtails with cabbage and rice and beans and let me tell you, it was BOMB. The cashiers were super nice. I decided I wanted a drink and I asked her which Jamaican soft drink flavor should I get? She recommended kola champagne and it was 10/10. I haven't tried their carrot cake yet (which I also ordered) but this spot is def on my list whenever I'm in the area! read more

4.5 stars. Ordered Curry goat platter from Caribbean vibes for the first time through Uber eats and I was quite pleasantly surprised by how flavorful and rich my curry goat was! The price was standard for the area and a goat platter will run you around $15....The 4.5 star rating received so far is well worth it. It arrived warm and as I mentioned very flavorful and delicious. The goat was very well seasoned and prepared well as the meat was not tough. The cabbage was also well seasoned and delicious. The rice and beans were a little overcooked but still edible. I look forward to trying other dishes from this restaurant.

Jerk chicken and beef patty was fire. Super short wait time and great customer service! 10/10

This place was pure joy. I stopped by over the weekend. You can order at the window. The woman who was working the window was super nice. I had the jerk chicken with rice and peas and cabbage. The food was fantastic. Everyone should go here. read more

It's sad to see the reputation of Caribbean restaurants continue to be perpetrated yet...here we are.,.again. I just called to order fish, was told "it takes 30 minutes". As I tell the woman on the phone that i would like to order to pick up she yells again "30 minutes!". I say ok I'll come in 30 minutes. She yells out the order then comes back and says "no seafood after 6:30". It was 6:34. . Do better. read more

Ordered from here for lunch on uber eats and it was at work in 45 minutes. Jerk chicken is hood, no peanuts (some spots around here use that for anyone allergic). Rice and peas, and white rice w jerk sauce were bomb. The fried plantains were nice and crispy outside and soft inside not mushy. Only thing i wish i had more meat on my plate and the price is a little steep but still 5 stars since the food was that good read more

They charge $4 for one patty! I've never in my life seen something so high. $30 for curry chicken 2 & Patties. The plantains are dry and so is the service. Never coming back here. Disappointed!! read more
