"The Curried Chicken Dinner and Beef Patty are the best of the DMV area that I consistently order for lunch and dinner: generously portioned with fresh vegetables, chicken and spices, the chicken dish tastes excellent; the beef patty is also freshly baked with tasty filling. As always, I like to add extra curry gravy and ground scotch bonnet pepper to the main dish."
"The Fish Sandwich is the best fish sandwich in the DMV today for the spicy vegetables, properly prepared fish that is fresh, portioned generously, and delicious. As always, the Beef Patty is the best in the DMV, and both dishes are well complimented by the D&G Ting soda. I recommend the fish sandwich without the cheese, btw."

"I order from here often and the food is consistently good. My favorite is their boneless curry chicken and a TOTC Pineapple Ginger. Its not too sweet like some other pineapple drinks that are in stores. I took a chance on the Curry Beef Rice & beans, cabbage, and I'm glad I did. The meat was perfectly seasoned and tender. The portions are large enough and I had enough gravy for my rice and peas. I am very pleased."
"when I tell you the portion side is big it's big and the tastes of the food is so good I will not order oxtail from no where but here it a 5 star for me and the food was hot as if I picked it up from the actual store"

"I ordered the large oxtail entree. As you can see from the photos, it was well packaged, presentation great, and wonderful flavor. Juicy, meaty and not too sweet (I don't like sweet tasting oxtail stew). The rice and peas and cabbage were also delicious, with enough gravy for mix into them. The Fried Plantains were cooked perfectly! Sweet and not overcooked. Just enough balance of soft and crisp. Saving the beef patty and wings for dinner but they also look and smell delicious.
For the price, I believe I got great value!"
"Whenever i come to this side of town and want comfort of home, i go to Caribbean Grill. Their coco bread is extremely soft, sorrel is always a hit, and their jerk chicken wings are exceptionally satisfying ( the heat is appropriate and flavorful) I definitely recommend anything from their menu, if you LOVE authentic Jamaican cuisine, this is the place."

"This is the only consistent jamaican food I've experienced. Always a hit and never a miss. The Ackee & Saltfish is fresh and doesnt have the canned taste whether they use it or not. The portions are always plentiful with anything i order, , and the patties are fresh unlike many places I've tried that seem heated up from another day. I love the Beef and cheese Patty . It's a little out the way for me but worth it. "
"Plenty of food for sure. The chicken was tender. I just did not like the taste of Curry Chicken, too bitter like maybe too much allspice or tumeric? The Cabbage mix was more like coleslaw style which I was not expecting. Overall a good value, just not my preference. Also wish these places would throw in a slice of bread or rotti."

"I received one oxtail on the rice and peas with meat all around the bone. The 3 small at the top only have meat on one side of the bone. I definitely did not get my money worth. The oxtail on the right really does not have meat on it. Im dissatisfied. I only received one oxtail. Not happy. I paid for a large oxtail dinner."

Not to mention when I order cocoa bread or brown stew chicken, everything is fresh and taste good. They have been out of jerk wings lately when I go but they were tasty too. This place had me try curry goat and I been hooked every since. I live in SE so even when I order doordash, my plate looks good, smell good and taste good. These are my people I consider family now because I was giving up when I found out Negril by HU had closed."

"Food was delicious as usual! 17. Buss Up Skin was flaky and light, 18. Dhal Puri was flavorful and the 1. Doubles were great. "
"My wife is Trini and so my in-laws are first generation Trinidadian immigrants who make some of the best Trini dishes I've ever had. So you can get imagine my excitement to learn that a restaurant serving authentic Trini food had returned to the area. My wife used to eat here when it was the original Teddy's and was also excited to have some good old home food. But I was extremely disappointed when I opened the container to see very small portions of oxtails and rice. The meat was tough and the sauce was very oily. Next I tried the doubles. The Chana had a very tasty sauce however they were a bit undercooked and hard. Not at all tender or creamy as I had expected. The curry chicken was lost in the sauce . Finally I got to the main event, the shark & 2. Fried Bake and Shark. It was dry and resembled minced shark not the filet that I was hoping to find. And lastly the bake itself was too hard and chewy. Overall I have to give it a 3 out of 5 forks, a hard pass but I would give Teddy's a second chance. Maybe it was just a one off and not typical of their quality. But the prices were very expensive considering the portion sizes. The meat dishes need more meat to be a decent value. Ultimately good flavors but mediocre presentation and preparation.
Ps. I didn't even get my 1. Sorrel. Bummer."

"So the roti appeared to have had no meat. I had two very small pieces of meat in my roti. The rest was broken up as though it was the bottom of the pan and they were trying to get meat to put into the roti. It was mainly potatoes in Channa. I was a little disappointed because I've eaten there before several times and when I go in you know you can see the chunks of meat that they give you so I'm not sure why they gave me the scrapers this time maybe because I DoorDash, but I don't think I will use them for DoorDash anymore because the portion was bad"

"This was my first order and everything was perfect. I am Nigerian so a little weary with African restaurants, but I finished my okra soup and pounded yam in about 5 minutes; this was authentic! The okra was delicious (made just like my dad's). Saved the jollof for later, but I took a bite and that was made very good as well. "
"The plaintain was dry and there was only 6 in the entire container, meaning i paid over a dollar for each plaintain. The Tilapia Fresh Fish (1 pc) that i received was better. The stew was slightly a bit too salty but the tilapia was cooked well and was sizable and fit the price."

"Ever dish is appetizing . I only finished part of the dish of curry chicken . I'm a little let down because I was expecting the curry chicken to have a lot more meat in the food container that it was in but the flavor of the chicken juices is so wonderful that I can already tell I'll be returning soon . However I'm sure the oxtails and goat plate will be liked and taste excellent too . I have no serious about the Caribbean meal it's amazing and all of my drinks came with the order . The cream soda in particular is so good that it may really make me get five of those and I was really pleased with every dish that was prepared and served so I'll be ordering five more of those cream soda without adding a dinner I'm going to be reheating some more meals later because I'm so full right now . Tropicana and the Caribbean grill will be my two favorite restaurants . I'll place separate orders for two meals and beverages from each of them so please don't go out of business I will always be there to support your company "
"Egusi soup with Assorted Meat it was very bland, it taste like cheddar cheese. It didn't have any spice. The meat was very chewy. I also got the Oxtail (Large) the oxtail flavor was good but the size of the oxtail was very small (chopped up meat with bones) with a big portion of rice, very small amount of cabbage. For the amount I spent I wouldn't order here again. I am very unpleased. "

"The curry goat.. I'm so disappointed. The flavor is NOT there. And they gave me a small portion in the side dish cup of the tray!! At least they're tender. The jerk chicken doesn't even taste like jerk chicken and it's dry. I paid extra for curry vegetables and while I don't think they taste anything like curry, they're the best thing in this order. Won't order again. Waste of money."

"Ate the egg and one meat already. Got the Jollof & Goat Stew massive portion. Worth every bite. Could use a bit more Knorr/ Maggie but I like it like mad. I go use my last card if possible get from this restaurant. It's THAT worth it y'all."
"The food was okay... the Fried Red Snapper w/ Veggies was much smaller than expected & the "veggies" that came with the fish was just raw onions & green peppers. It wasn't worth $20.
The Spinach Stew & Egusi Stew was alright, but the spinach could have been cooked softer. I did expect more flavor.
The Plantain was delicious

"You will not be disappointed, this food healing for my mind, body and soul. the food flavorful and seasoned to perfection."
"Pepper Soup : there were too many different types of goat meat,I believe there was a cut cow or goat tongue in there as well with cow skin and some other parts I couldn't recognize. I prefer less meat . $19 for small soup in a container :( . Did not taste like regular spicy pepper soup. Was a little watery.
Moin Moin :was hot but okay, I notice some fish in it and it makes it not very appetizing to eat without worrying about swallowing some.
Vegetable Soup (Efo Riro) : It was okay, I did not find it tasty, took a few bites maybe three to taste it better. notice it was cooked in palm oil, along with the pepper soup."

"4. Pounded Yam Served with Your Choice of Soup & Meat. Is my ultimate favorite meal I always get the pounded yam and cassava leaf with goat meat, it's a hit every time.
"
"EVERYTHING WAS COLD AND NASTY WHEN IT ARRIVED... My order was ready when the Dasher got there so, my food sat for an hour before a Dasher was assigned to my order. This place is selling FAKE AFRICAN DISHES!!!!!!! I ordered Pounded Yam with Egusi and it was awful. The pounded yam was mashed potatoes rolled into a ball and the bowl of spinach was NOT EGUSI. My Jallof rice is mushy.. Also ordered the "Jumbo Shrimp" for $4.99 and they are NOT jumbo. The shrimp option has no description, so I was given Frozen Coconut Shrimp that were cooked in bad grease. I'm so pissed. I spent $56 and could not eat the food. I feel like I was robbed of my money and Doordash acts like there is no understanding of what's going on. If Doordash can't accommodate me for this terrible experience, MANAGEMENT should!"

"I ordered both the Jerk Chicken and the Rasta pasta. I would order BOTH AGAIN. The jerk chicken was really good.Flavorful and a good portion for the price. Not too spicy and it was charred! I'm not huge on sides, so I can pass on the rice and peas and cabbage, though they were tasty too.
I wish they also offered the chicken a la carte style with no sides....that would be even better. The Pasta was seasoned well and the portion size is perfect. No pic of the pasta because it was half eaten before remembered to take a pic. Lol! I will return!"
"I wouldn't order from this place again. After receiving my order, my chicken was bland, dry, overcooked. My rice wasn't cooked fresh and was stale. My portion size was inconsistent and not worth the value. I didn't taste any authenticity in the food. Waste of money spent for me."

"This is my first time trying African Cuisine and I will say 10/10 recommend!!
I’m so glad I chose Juneteenth to try African food!
The Ogbono is so good! It is very spicy, idk if it comes that way. I will try to get regular next time. I thought it was completely vegetable, I had beef or stew meat - it was tender.
The pounded yam goes well with it, it reminds me of a ball of instant mashed potatoes. It helps with the spice.
The Moi-Moi is good! I might eat it for breakfast. The texture is smooth and solid. Its similar to tamale.
The Suya was a little tough. The purple sliced onions were really good and spicy as well.
The meat pie was good! I got chicken, it was flavorful. I was expecting the chicken to have more juice to it.
Overall each item was full of flavor and spices. I will reorder this again along with a dessert!! I think this is a great place for a first timer! If you have never tried African cuisine, be open minded and give it a try!"
"I ordered puff puffs and I know that I’m supposed to get more than one for four dollars and the one puff puff I got was over fried and hard."
