Negril - Mitchellville

"I recently ordered the oxtail dinner and the escovitched fish sandwich at Negril the Jamaican Eatery. Overall, the flavors were spot on and worth a try. They package the items safely and neatly for delivery which is a plus! The oxtail dinner was good with the rice & peas and cabbage. However, I have to mention that the portion size was a bit disappointing considering the price of $21.00. More of a lunch portion with a dinner price. Although the oxtail dinner's portion size didn't quite hit the mark, the taste was good. As for the escovitched fish sandwich, it was really good and you can order it with the items on the side for delivery so you won’t have a soggy sandwich."

"Food is good. The portions are very good. Their service is superb. Man…the chicken soup…will make you well! Go to Negril!"

"Very organized, I was able to complete an online order via text sent after I selected the option via phone. It sent me directly to the Web page, which was easy to navigate. I ordered the Fricasse Chicken in light gravy, Escoveitched Red Snapper (Vinger Based); there are two options tomato-based and vinger-based, and Oxtail dinner. Oxtails were great and had thin gravy, so it was not as heavy as traditional but packed with flavor. Love the fact that it was packed in a bowel so my rice and peas was not drenched and soggy. The chicken in its tomato-based gravy was very tender and the flavor was well infused into the meat. The Snapper was good as well. I got the vinegar and vegetables on the side, as stated before I like to control the saturation, especially with fried fish. The vinegar gave it a nice hit and I could change the flavor profile. Also, i forgot when ordering line when I arrived it was a contactless pick up. Food was placed in a warmer and I simply had to find my name, select the first initial of my last name and the cade opened. Really is a restaurant that is about quality and satisfaction. Just wish I could get some mac&cheese or greens as a side but it's good not to do too many menu items so I understand."

"I used to frequent this place for curry chicken way back in the day. This time I tried the oxtail entree w a side of plantains which I ordered over the phone, for a total of $26. All pick up & delivery orders are to be placed online via cell but I didn't get the link, so I called it in. Order took 10min, it was ready when I arrived. The portion is very small, the dish tasted like it was slow cooked in beef broth, and the oxtails are very small for $19. I got one regular sized thinly sliced oxtail (little meat) w few small tails that had no meat. The oxtail was served in a separate container in a very thin sauce w few sliced carrots. The other small container had rice & peas, & small scoop of cabbage. The plantains for $5 were very dry and had about 7 pieces. For $25 this wasn't an authentic flavored dish, and it was like a lunch sized portion. I remember now why I haven't been here in years. For those who have never had authentic Jamaican food, this is a good Americanized version."
