Food and staff always amazing...Delicious...food. I've tried most of the menu. I've been coming here for years. They even take special request. As soon as you walk in the restaurant, it smells so delicious every time... read more

The jerk chicken sandwich was spicy just like how jerk chicken should be. But becareful when eating the sandwich because they use chicken with the bone in it. Overall that jerk chicken sandwich was very tasty. Also I will be back to try some other dishes. Customer service was ok but it was closing time . read more

Took my two cousins there on Saturday... because they requested Jamaican food. Wasn't that busy when we arrived. So I ordered the curry chicken. They both ordered the oxtail all three dishes with rice and peas and cabbage. They last time it took a long time to get my food, but this service was much faster. Plenty of places to sit and eat if you so choose. All around good consistent carribean cuisine. read more

Their goat roti is the star of my show. The spice level, portions and taste are always perfect. I'm literally getting it again for dinner tonight. read more

Food definitely changed since 2017. Goat overcooked and oxtails not cooked enough. Rice and beans no flavor and the color was too light. Jerk bbq chicken was more bbq flavored than jerk. read more

The stewed brown chicken, rice + peas, and fried plantains were very flavorful & delicious! Authentic Jamaican vibe!

Me and my boyfriend went here yesterday and this has got to be the most amazing food I've ever had from these types of restaurants....food was so amazing bout time I got on the bus to go home I was already nodding off like a dope fiend from the iitusoutstanding...I ate so fast I didn't take a picture read more

I love love love their coco bread, oxtail, and fish! They have fast customer service and are very attentive. The prices are reasonable and I think it's one of the best Jamaican restaurants! read more

It was okay to say the least... not the best Jamaican food... the rice was a little undercooked and wet and the oxtails were so small for the price. read more

Food is always great! Service is meh..sometimes they pickup the phone, most of the time the line is busy. You can order through UberEats to avoid this problem. Very small space to accommodate customers going it and out of the restaurant. Not really meant to eat inside . read more

worst curry shrimp I have ever had. The shrimp were tough and dry like the cook a whole bunch in the morning and use them all day. curry chicken was just as bad. along with the cold bread. $33.97 bag of trash. read more

Can we all say "yo-man" on the count of 3. While visiting the Island Bwoy Cuisine the Chef asked if I wanted to grab some lunch @ a tiny Jamaican restaurant not far from his place. Located in a strip mall this unassuming place serves one of the best for this style cuisine. Since Chef Mark is a frequent customer & from the island, they put together a variety of items for us. Pictured at the top was the Goat stew which was over the top, along with the jerk chicken, oxtails, the staple rice and cabbage and tiny bite size portions of plantains. Everything was fabulous and having never eaten goat stew - that in itself was amazing. One knows when an ethnic restaurant knows how to cook as the meat off the oxtails and goat just fell off the bone with savory flavors coupled with the sauces. 5 solid stars for this small business and hope work sends me back to this area! read more

We ordered a large curry chicken and large brown stew chicken. The curry chicken was just ok but the brown stew chicken was VERY DRY!!! This is not the first time we've had it and the other time it was dry as well. Very disappointed and when you call to complain they are so nonchalant about it. The food is also lukewarm. I will drive to St. Charles mall next time or somewhere else. read more

Love them but their oxtails lately haven't been the best. They've been very dry like they've been leftovers or something and have more fat than meat on them. My last 3 ordered ere very disappointing. read more

This place is not far from my job, so I decided to stop by after work to pick up some dinner. It was recommended, so I decided to check out the menu online and call in my order. As someone who usually can never decide to go with jerk or curry, I was delighted to see that they offer a combination plate where you can get both options. I opted for rice and peas and cabbage as my sides. I also ordered coco bread and a wanted a chicken patty, but they were out. I decided to get a spinach patty instead. The patty was just okay, but the rest of the meal was DELICIOUS! The curry and jerk chicken was some of the most flavorful I have ever tasted. The rice and cabbage were also tasty. The portions were also good. I eat a lot and I was definitely full. This will be a regular stop for me after work. read more

Best Caribbean food in Marlow Heights! I always get curry chicken and I'm never disappointed. The entrees come standard with rice & cabbage. The food is good and the staff is really nice. This is a small carry-out restaurant but there are a few tables available for dining in. read more

Tropicana Eatery - Curried Chicken - Caribbean Near Me - Temple Hills, Maryland

I just moved back to the area after being in the Southwest, where I could get delicious cuisine from all over the world...except Caribbean food! Tropicana Eatery was literally my first stop once I got off the plane. I had oxtail with rice and peas and cabbage. It was pretty good, but didn't blow me away. I decided I hadn't had my dose of Caribbean food so I went back the next day for curried shrimp and a jerk chicken patty with coco bread. Again, the curried shrimped as good but not supreme. The jerk chicken patty however, was immaculate! The coco bread was warm, soft, and delicious. The jerk chicken patty had incredible flavor without being too hot. I wish I would have ordered two! All in all, I would definitely go back for the patties and to try other menu items! read more

This is a delicious hidden gem that is well worth seeking out! We came for ice cream a few businesses over but saw this and decided to try it first. We were offered samples to help us decide and the portions are great. The best thing about it, though, was the service by the woman at the register. She was welcoming and knowledgeable, and the entire time we were there she showed patience and efficiency that is very lacking in most places today. We may have found our regular spot, finally! read more

Although this place is always crowded, the food was just ok. Maybe it would have been better if I actually went there and didn't order delivery. I have found since moving to MD that it does make a difference what method one uses to try places. And the better experience comes from going there directly. Generous 3 stars... read more

Updating my review Do Not buy the curry dishes. I been going to this place since 2012 and it's obvious they changed up on how they brown their curry its like they are using flour or potato starch to thicken it and stretch out the amount they have available. This is not good and I've tried different Jamaican curries from New York, Maryland, ATL, Miami and Jamaica. This by far the worst read more

Always have loved this place for its soups and jerk chicken . Just tried the ackee and salt fish and I am completely turned off . It is gross . Doesn't taste like salt fish at all . No seasoning nothing . Other than that everything else from here has been delicious . read more

Got oxtails via Uber Eats. Medium quality. Was $48 inc delivery & tip for 1 large order with extra oxtails with rice & peas. Could have gotten another side included, but didn't. Way too expensive. Poorly cooked. To say the least, the meat was NOT falling off the bone. Undercooked & moderately spiced, it was much better after sitting overnight & I finished cooking it. Wouldn't order again. read more

Idk if it was a bad day or what. But I got the curry shrimp with rice and peas and cabbage and every bit of the dish was nasty. And I mean nasty. Flavorless. I mean it was unbelievable and the shrimp taste like it was frozen for days ... Zero out of Ten Recommend read more

Not as good as the old Ga. Ave. spot but certainly worth a 4. Oxtail could've used a little richness in the sauce. Barely covered the meat (pause). But peas n rice had flavor and beef patty was good. Curry shrimp was slightly above avg. read more

Tropicana Eatery - I'm confused. I don't like spicy food. Why is my cabbage spicy? ‍ - Caribbean Near Me - Temple Hills, Maryland

It was once they best place to get Jamaican food but over the past few months March 2023 I have noticed poor quality food. Last month I ordered oxtail with absolutely no favor and we known true Jamaican oxtail is all flavor. Today I order curry goat and rice n peas the curry goat had a very very thick coating of some type of under flavored curry spice and the rice had hard pieces of rice mixed in I am not sure if was old rice with fresh rice or uncooked rice mixed. I had to through it all out. So this will be my last time ordering. And just in case you think I made it up my order #391 dated 6/5/2023 don't worry I will not be back as I can fiend my money elsewhere. read more

Keep up the great work Team! I will be back, Thanks Mars read more

staff is friendly and the food is delicious! I ordered a chicken patty and oxtails. they are cooked to perfection! You have to try them!

What's in this photo you ask? Loveless, flavorless, dry, pathetic, scrubish cabbage masquerading as a veggie Roti according to Tropi-hella! Lawd have mercy. Please do yourself and under no circumstances order food from this eatery. In fact, if you want Caribbean food, just jump on a mega bus and go to NYC. This sham of a roti contained no curry potato and channa and was a disgrace to West Indian cuisine. I could go on but pray by now that I've convinced you to do the right thing and abort mission! read more

Small little restaurant but it's big on the Caribbean cuisine! I had the curry chicken lunch special which included veggies, rice and peas, and soda for $7. The curry was seasoned just right and the side of coco bread just melted in my mouth it was so hot and yummy! The beef and chicken patties in the warmer were calling my name but I said next time because I will defiantly be back. read more

Ordered via uber eats. It was my first time ordering from here and it will be my last. I ordered a beef patty and a small jerk chicken. As soon as I pulled the jerk chicken out of the bag, I knew it wouldn't be good. I've had great jerk before so as soon as I saw that the chicken just had a weird brown sauce poured over top of it, I was immediately turned off. The cabbage was soggy and tasteless. The rice was the only redeeming quality about the meal. Oh and the beef patty! The patty was perfect! Perfectly seasoned beef and a nice flaky crust. That's the only good thing about my meal read more

I ordered from here via Postmates and it was decent. We were way too tired to eat there/pick-up, but were craving something cheap and spicy. While it wasn't expensive, it lacked the spice I'm used to with jerk chicken. It had a lot of sauce with the chicken, rice and veggies, which was great, but it wasn't spicy at all. Overall, it was fine, but not the best Caribbean food I've had. read more
