D&D Caribbean Kitchen

Awhile back one of my Yelp compatriots suggested I try this place and sadly it took awhile for me to make it there. But, today the hubby and I stopped by to have lunch and we both give it an enthusiastic thumbs up.I ordered curry goat because, um, I am me. My husband ordered curry chicken. We each got a very generous portion loaded with meat atop rice & peas, with a cabbage vegetable medley and a couple slices of plantain. Everything was very good, which is a relief since this portion is about 4 meals worth for my appetite. I think I like the veggies here the best of the veggies at the other Caribbean restaurants in the area. The curry goat was on point, good flavor, though not quite as spicy as I am used to. It does still have some heat though. And did I mention how much meat they gave me, it wasn't all bones or skin. Lots of delicious curry to seep into the rice & peas. The plantains aren't candied or super soft, but they add a teeny bit of sweet to the mix. Prices would seem on the high side if I weren't going to get several meals out of it. The card prices were a couple percent more than the cash prices; curry goat 26 instead of 25 etc. so if you carry cash use it here.It isn't a place for ambience; even ordering dine in it comes in the takeout box, but that is fine because we knew we would take most of it home and we didn't come for date night.Food was ready in about 10 minutes plus or minus.All in all a solid choice especially if you don't want it super spicy.

Y'all! Listen! I've finally found some GOOD Jamaican food . Y'all don't understand how happy I am!This place is a small carry out (we ate in-4 tables) but there is nothing small about the food! We got the curry chicken and whew! The curry chicken meal comes with plantains, rice and cabbage. The curry chicken was very tender, fall off the bone, with a hint of spice *chefs kiss* the rice was good and so was the cabbage. The only thing I would suggest would be to cook the cabbage just a little more and give me MORE cabbage lolNo but all in all definitely a 10/10! The parking lot has plenty of parking, they have a bathroom and 4 tables if you want to eat inside. Also I met the owner, Hewston, and he's great also!

The inside is spacious, but only about 4 tables. There was no one inside, so we were able to eat in. Service was friendly.We tried:Jerk wings (not pictured) - ok, more sweet than spicy.Brown stewed chicken - kinda tasted like bbq chicken. Not bad, just not the taste I was expecting Curry chicken - good. Would have liked more sauce though Rice & peas - fabulous Cabbage - simply lovely. Only downside is the peas in it. I despise peas.Overall, it wasn't bad. I wouldn't go back simply because I don't live close and I've had better at closer spots. Overall, this isn't a bad place.

I ordered the wing dinner and after placing my order and waiting a few min, not long, the cashier came and said someone bought out the wings and asked if I minded regular jerk chicken because the price was the same. I was ok with that. The food was piping hot which I appreciated. I drove to IKEA before eating and it was still steaming hot. I didn't like the texture of the rice AT ALL. It was sticky/stiff and flavorless. The cabbage was decent could have a tad more flavor but decent. The chicken was basically baked chicken. It wasn't bad but it also wasn't bursting with flavor or spicy and didn't have a grilled flavor. Just tasted like regular baked chicken with store bought big box jerk seasoning sprinkled on. For $22 after tax I had high expectations because that's high compared to my usual Just Jerk or Tropicana who always hit. I wasn't satisfied with this and would not be back.

Finally found a good Jamaican food spot ! I have been searching for some good Jamaican food for years since I moved down here, and stumbled upon this.

Oh. If you are in Beltsville and craving Jamaican food, this is a MUST HAVE. It's a tiny sign outside, and there are some lights in the window that catch your eye for sure. Once you go inside, it's quite open, spacious. There's only one or two tables on each side, so seating is quite limited. If it isn't crowded you can definitely hang out in there. It's nice and chill. I saw a menu on the counter and looked through the options... they have the typical meats and seafoods in platters, and you could get a combo of any two for a few more dollars. The upbeat woman behind the counter told my friend and I to take our time and let her know when we were ready. I decided to get both jerk chicken and curry chicken -- kill two birds with one stone. It took about 10-15 minutes and we grabbed a seat. Y'all, they did the thing... before giving the food to us, they OPENED THE TRAY AND SHOWED IT TO US. Only my most favorite places so far have done that. Did I mention it was steaming? Y'all, I'm talking PIPING hot. SHEESH. We decided to eat there since it was quiet... and... we both were VERY happy. The rice & peas had a hint of coconut to it, and the jerk & curry chickens were both flavorful and delicious -- great texture, not too spicy, all that. Steamed cabbage and plantain were winners as well! As we ate, I had said it'd be nice if they had some music going... and about 10 minutes later that very thing happened... the vybez were truly present. All this to say, I'm eager to bring my parents here and I cannot wait to try other things on the menu! Sorry I'm late to the train! I just may have a new top 3 list now :).

A great place to get delicious, genuine Caribbean food!Ambiance: This sits in a small strip mall so it shares it's parking lot with a few other places but there is plenty of parking. The restaurant only has a few benches on either side of it so I would not recommend bringing a huge party in. They also do carryout though so that is another option. At first they didn't have any music on and it was pretty quiet but around 4-5 PM the music was turned on and the mood was set!Service: The service was amazing. The lady who served us was extremely nice and thoughtful. She even showed us the food before giving it to us in the end and that was just the beginning of our adventure. Food was cooked fresh so it took about 15 minutes or so.Food: Now for the most important part. The taste of the food. The food was cooked fresh and was piping hot when it was given to us. Everything was flavorful from the jerk wings to the beans and rice. The plantains were on point as well. I even got to taste a little of the curry chicken and the flavoring was also spot on. There is nothing to complain about. They also serve desserts which may be worth a try next time. The portions you get for the pricing is spot on I think.Overall: Nothing to complain about here and I will definitely be back for the curry chicken!

Curry goat was on point. Got there as they were about to close in 15 minutes. I was able to eat inside and enjoy the warm meal.

I got the jerk chicken - I read the description on the menu and the word succulent to describe the chicken was right. The chicken was flavorful and fell off the bone.The sweet, caramelized plantain was equally as good and complimented the chicken as did the rice.I spent the first 5 minutes of my meal nodding, in agreement that this was a really good meal.I also couldn't forget to get the Jamaican beef patty. Which was flaky and delicious. And like everyone else said, the customer service was excellent.

Craving some Jamaican oxtails dinner and decided to give this new restaurant in Laurel a try. I was warmly greeted by one of the owners Miss Deb. Her warm bubbly personality is exactly as other Yelp reviews said. It's refreshing to finally get a warm welcome and shown appreciation for my business at a Jamaican restaurant. I ordered the oxtail dinner with rice n peas, plantains, and no gravy as I'm not a fan of gravy on my food. I wasn't in the mood for cabbage vegetables that evening. Let me first just say that Oxtails is my all time favorite Jamaican dish and I well know how it should taste. Theirs was on pint and hands down the BEST I've had in the all the DMV restaurants I've tried. FINALLY, someone who does it right. Thank you! The oxtails were well seasoned, flavorful, and soft falling off the bone. The rice n peas was also soft and flavorful. It certainly hit the spot, satisfied my craving. I look forward to going back and trying their other food options. I recommend you give them a try as well. Support local businesses.
