Irie Cafe

Just leaving this establishment and will not be returning. Discovered a piece of what looks like hair wrapped around and fried onto the leg of a drumstick. I went back to the register to bring it to the attention of the cashier. She took the chicken out of my hand, threw it in the trash then walked off and began serving another customer all without saying a word. When I asked her if she was going to address my concerns she said she was going to give me another piece of chicken. As if I would want another piece of chicken from the same batch??? I told her no thanks. She proceeded to tell me she couldn’t give me a refund because her manager wasn’t there and that it’s the chicken or nothing because “that isn’t the way she served it” to me. Basically accusing me of putting it in the chicken?!!

I went for the lunch special. I got the brown stew chicken, it was good. My only complaint was it wasn't enough meat to go with the sides. It was good and flavorful. I will go back. Dhall of DC/DMV

I’ll say this… leaving 5 stars because the portion size was great, she was patient while I was trying to figure out what I wanted, and the environment was clean and nice. I got the oxtail with rice and peas and mac n cheese. The only thing I was a fan of was that the sauce on the oxtails was TOO sweet. It honestly was a step away from just plain ole barbecue sauce. I feel like oxtails are too expensive to have such a basic and sweet sauce. I wasn’t expecting the mac and cheese to be home cooked BUT it was much better than most other restaurants mac and cheese… I’ll give it that. 👍🏽 Rice & peas tasted perfect, just like how my Jamaican friend’s mom used to make it. I’d come back, but I’d try a different meat. Update: I came back and tried the curry goat! It was fantastic and the exact f

I’m extremely disappointed with the communication and customer service. I placed an order for two velvet cakes and instead of providing even half of the cakes or properly resolving the issue, I was still charged without receiving what I paid for. If something was out of stock, I — as the customer — should have received a call before any changes were made to my order. Making adjustments without notifying me and then still charging me is completely unacceptable. The only positive part of this experience was the delivery driver. I truly wish I had gotten his name so I could give him the recognition he deserves. He genuinely tried his best to advocate on my behalf and get the situation resolved. Unfortunately, despite his efforts, we were unable to come to an agreement. Clear communication

I had a wonderful experience at Irie Cafe! The lady who assisted me was very welcoming and polite. Even though she was in the middle of cleaning, she made sure to wash her hands before handling anything, which I really appreciated. The food was fresh and delicious, even though closing time was just an hour away. The music added to the great atmosphere, making the visit even more enjoyable. I can’t wait to go back!
