“West Indian food in DC - Guyanese, Trinidadian etc”

Sunrise Caribbean Restaurant
Ranked #1,712 of 3,066 Restaurants in Washington DC
Restaurant details
Reviewed 11 August 2017

I go to Sunrise a few times a momth. You can either dine in as they have tables or have your food to go. It has the best West Indian food in DC. Having lived in DC all my life, previously we had to either go to Queens/Brooklyn for authentic Guyanese food. Sunrise is Trinidadian owned. They have bake and salt fish, Jamaican beef patty, sorrel, roti, dhal puri, pholourie, rice and peas, curry chicken. As well, they offer vegan and vegetarian dishes. The staff is patient, welcoming and friendly. Definitely a great asset to the DC area.

The portions were massive! The Stewed Brown Chicken and Curry Goat was tender and delicious. The rice and beans, cabbage and kale were delightful. We were traveling with a child that doesn't usually eat veggies, and she finished the kale! There were veggies in the mac and cheese, but the kids thought this was a plus. The had Sorrel ( which I didn't get, but I was so tempted)! The owners and workers are Trinidadians-so I knew that their bake would have been outstanding. We happened to find one of the workers at the Union Station selling food from a kiosk, but he was out of food (not surprising) at the end of the day, and suggested that we come to the restaurant. We were not disappointed. Thankfully pleasant staff was attentive and welcoming to we out of towners. My father visits DC frequently and I will definitely recommend this place. I am willing to bet money on the vegetarian options being on point- they looked so appetizing.

Living just around the corner, we stopped in to give this place a try. Everything was great! We had jerk chicken sandwich ( light and wonderful), spicy chicken wings, curry chicken roti and jerk chicken platter with sides. It's an unassuming place with tasty food. Try it!
