    Conch roti
    Ayana P.

    This is the only place I found in the DMV that sells conch roti, so I come here ever so often to satisfy my craving. The conch is not tough. It's doesn't taste exactly like home but close enough.

    My husband spotted an ad for this restaurant, and we decided to stop by only to find out they had just moved farther south on Georgia Avenue and recently held a grand opening. The new space is bright, clean, and welcoming, and the owner couldn't have been friendlier. We ordered takeout, so we didn't get to eat everything fresh, but overall the food was good. The chicken was a bit overcooked and the curry could've had more flavor, but the Dahl Puri was absolutely perfect. The salt fish was tasty, and the bake was impressively large. They also had sorrel and Irish moss, but we were too full to try them. The vibes were great, the food felt fresh, and the trip from Maryland to DC was worth it. We're definitely going back especially to try the bake and shark. Check them out!

    The roti itself is thicker than what I'm used to, almost pita bread like to be exact. However, the flavor is accurate and pretty good. They get bonus points for offering a boneless chicken option although that's lowkey a micro sign of gentrification, but if you look outside...I digress. The service was relatively quick and the guy behind the counter was friendly. They had a good sorrel though overpriced per usual. The macaroni pie was not memorable. I'd come back specifically for another thick roti to eat on for about 2-3 meals.

    Strictly an oxtail review as I've had the buss up shut here (curry goat to be specific) and would've rated higher. The oxtail itself is really tender and delicious, but a Very small portion. The cut of meat is bony so it's to be expected but it's an especially meagre serving when the box is packed with rice and peas and a spoonful of cabbage. So I was disappointed by portioning. The 'callalloo' is spinach based with not much ochre so the consistency is off. It's just a different flavour than the authentic version. Service is fine, and the wait time for food is pretty accurate. It's pretty small, easy going casual atmosphere. Just a couple small tables to sit at and eat indoors

    I've always loved Caribbean food, but I had never tried Trini cuisine--until I discovered this gem in my neighborhood. I ordered a double and the curry chicken roti. It was delicious and I'll be stopping by here more frequently.

    loved it! The customer service was awesome. I had no clue what I wanted and they explained everything to me and really helped me decide what would be best. It was super cute and cozy in there. The portion size was great, I left with enough leftovers for a full dinner. I will definitely be back to this nice neighborhood spot!

    The 1. Stew Chicken, Rice and Cabbage Meal was disappointing. The portion size was small and they barely gave me any cabbage. I was not satisfied with the quantity. The seamoss drink and the 6. Plantains were the only things that were good. I might consider trying something else in person to see if I get a better taste of Trinidadian food. The 1. Doubles was also not to my liking. Order on door dash

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 feel like we generally have way more Jamaican food than Trini food around here (and even less of other islands), so it's a nice addition. If I wanted to I could walk / jog there, but otherwise it's a 5 minute drive. It's on a corner in Roosevelt Center where an Asian restaurant used to be. Even up until now, I see the Trini flags everywhere, and there are some pictures that still haven't been hung up. Sometimes they play music in there, and sometimes they don't -- I wish they'd play it all the time, because otherwise it can get oddly quiet in there. As for the food... 90% of the time I go is for their Sunday buffet. It's less than $30 for an all you can eat (AYCE) that includes plantain, chicken, fish, desserts, and some fantastic vegan dishes that are labeled as such. They have a whole vegan menu, in fact. And it's lovely to see all those on top of traditional Trinidadian options. When they first opened, they only served doubles and certain other things on weekends -- not sure if that's still the case, but they had signage to indicate that. By the way, I love their doubles. The buffet is the perfect way for me to unwind on Sundays, but I should try exploring other times, haha. I feel like a Caribbean restaurant in Old Greenbelt is a first, and I'm delighted to see the representation. Room for improvement: keep the drinks stocked during buffet, and there have been instances where no one is at the front and I've seen people waiting for a bit, sometimes impatiently. Perhaps add a bell to ring?

    Listen... Seta Oasis did not come to play! I had the oxtails, and baby, they were EVERYTHING…read more Tender, seasoned to perfection, falling off the bone like they knew their assignment. The rice and peas were on point, the cabbage was hitting, and the plantains? Sweet, caramelized, and cooked just right. The food was fire, the service felt like love, and the ambiance gave that laid-back "come sit down and eat good" energy. My plate looked good, tasted good, and had me already planning my next visit. If you want real flavor, real comfort, and real good vibes, pull up. Five stars, easy.

    Celebrate Black History month by supporting Black owned businesses…read more I attended a fun cigar event held in the VIP room on the second floor of SETA Oasis, which featured an open bar. We ordered a variety of chicken wings, along with french fries and some light fare. The VIP room has a lively ambiance, equipped with four large-screen TVs, seating for 60 people, making it perfect for events. From the outside, the building appears smaller than it actually is, as it's a multi-level venue that can host various events simultaneously. The restaurant downstairs offers a Caribbean menu that has received positive reviews, particularly for its brunch. It's also heartwarming to note that the restaurant is named in honor of the owner's late mother, Seta, adding a personal touch to the experience. I plan to return and explore more of their offerings in the future.
