Vegan trini food. I was in the mood for jerk chicken but that place didn’t open up so we came down the street to here. I called to check that they were open. For 13 bucks, I got jerk chicken (not spicy) and two sides. The server said that callaloo is like spinach. It’s stewed collards. The food is plentiful and good. The AC was broken when we got in. We were given a free portion of pholari (Pollari?) which is fried dough balls with a Indian style spicy pickle. It was yummy. The counter of prepared food had many vegan options. While we ordered, a man picked up trays of food for a catered event. The man who served us had a particular casual style that some might find too personal. He then served us one at a time.
Visiting Georgia avenue is a different cultural experience.

The macaroni pie and stew chicken were delicious! Taste just like home- cooked Trini food. It was very well seasoned, very healthy portion and great price. Definitely will be back.

I was so excited to find a Trini restaurant, where I could share the culture with my family. I’m so glad I chose this place. I ordered a little bit of everything and it was well worth every penny! The portions were huge, the flavor was there, and everyone was so nice. The fresh juices were also delicious. My only recommendation is to not use Seamless…there’s nothing seamless about their process (they cancel orders)! I will be back, trust!

This local family owned restaurant has Delicious & Fresh Caribbean Food and Excellent customer service. They have a variety of Vegan and traditional options with great portion sizes too. Definitely recommend checking out this Local DC Black Owned Business! I had a very tasty beef patty for a great price and friendly staff.

First of all I am Caribbean so I know good traditional food when I taste it! This food was soooo good! Delicious and flavored to perfection! I loved everything, Even the guy who I placed my order with. He was hilarious and we had a few laughs as he fixed my order. This is my new favorite Caribbean spot.

Great tasting Caribbean food. Traditional menu items include curries, jerk, stews… vegan options available. Must haves—-Bussup shot, roti, and fish … holiday treats —-fruit/black cakes are delicious, pastelles are savory so do good…and all the holiday drinks are delicious…sorrel and ginger beer are a must have.

Walking into this quaint restaurant, I didn’t have great expectations but after ordering, that all changed. I’m very particular about service at restaurants and this one surly took the win for most accommodating. They were super friendly and I haven’t experienced a place where they cooked roti to order! That was super impressive considering most places have that precooked. Had the doubles bara fried to order and some pretty good veggie Patties. I suggest trying this restaurant, if not for the good food, the amazing service and that true Trini-Caribbean hospitality!

I love this place. Excellent food. I feel like I am in the West Indies when I go here. The women cooking the food know what they are doing. This place is incredible. And worth every dollar you spend there and more.

The food is good. I had the vegan jerk chicken and vegan pineapple chicken. Good. The prices are good and the sides. Mac n cheese, cabbage, rice and lentils. The people are nice and it is so flavorful. It was recommended by a friend. Thus was good. Definitely try again.

Delicious Jamaican food. Good service from what I believe was the owner. We got curry shrimp, coco bread, carrot cake and strawberry lemonade. Food was well seasoned and tasted fresh. Parking is tricky and make sure you have money for the meter. The meter isnt cheap either. Iy only accepts quarters.
This is worth the trip!

If you're in the mood for some delicious Caribbean cuisine, Sunrise Caribbean Restaurant is definitely worth a visit. From the moment I stepped inside, I was greeted with warm hospitality and the inviting aromas of authentic island dishes.
The restaurant offers a wide variety of dishes, ranging from classic Jamaican jerk chicken to Trinidadian doubles. I had the pleasure of trying the oxtail stew, which was cooked to perfection with tender meat and rich, flavorful spices. The sides were equally impressive, with perfectly cooked rice and peas and sweet plantains that complemented the savory flavors of the main dish.
What really stood out to me about Sunrise Caribbean Restaurant was the quality of the ingredients. Each dish was made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and you could really taste the difference. The portions were also generous, making it a great value for the price.
The atmosphere of the restaurant was also delightful, with colorful decorations and music that transported me to the islands. The staff was friendly and attentive, making the dining experience all the more enjoyable.
Overall, I would highly recommend Sunrise Caribbean Restaurant to anyone looking for authentic Caribbean cuisine. The quality of the food, warm hospitality, and inviting atmosphere make it a standout among restaurants in the area. If you're a fan of island flavors, don't miss out on this fantastic dining destination.

I went to the restaurant around noon during the week. I got the curry chicken and macaroni pie and greens, it's a lunch plate. It tastes like I was sitting at a family member's table. It's a true taste of Trinidad. They have fresh juices like lemon, apple, and ginger. They're black cake reminds me of Christmases at home! I will definitely go there to eat the next time I'm in the area.

Sunrise is amazing. I recently had them cater my wedding (which I hosted at home for a small group of family and friends) and it was such a success and far exceeded expectations. My partner and I were already fans for Sunrise but they really outdid themselves for our event. We ordered jerk chicken, rice and peas, potato and chickpea curry, plantains, vegan jerk (the surprise star of the event), macaroni pie, and sorrel. Everyone was asking where we got the food and my father who was raised in Jamaica won't stop asking for me to bring him more of their jerk! I also can't wait to go back. I had a little bit of trouble getting in touch with them initially to make the order but once I did they were incredibly helpful in terms of planning the meal and quantities needed for my guests, how I should serve it, and pick up was very easy too. I can't recommend them enough, both as a place to get good Caribbean food but also as a personable business.

My go to spot. Worth the travel from arlington. Great food. Heavy portions that can feed 2.
Always satisfied.
the best in the district imo. Had other spots they are either greedy with portions or over priced or both.
