Sandovan Restaurant & Lounge

I decided to come in to support this restaurant base upon the rank 4.5….. this place was a perfect to get there, their food was SO DAMN GOOD😋. I was in love with the my order. OMG just perfect. The coca bread was warm, plantains was cooked perfectly, cabbage & carrots was cooked with great seasonings (not too much salt) rice & beans was outstanding light and moist, the sorrel was very good but the jerk wings was so damn good, how mercy… craving it for more already within 24 hours. I’m proud and bless to meet the married couple that owns this spot…you would be greatly pleased…

I love this place! I almost don't want to share about it because it is such a hidden gem in the Petworth community. You can come on a Friday night and not only do they have a DJ that actually plays good music. Sometimes, they even have a live band and it's never overly crowded. They also make the absolute best ginger beer. It's so addictive I had to take home a jug. The food is also delicious and you can place an order up until midnight, dance, and have a ginger beer or cocktail. It does take a while to get your food because they make everything fresh to order and you can tell. I've never had a bad experience with my food other than it being so much I can never finish it. But I eat leftovers! The owner is so nice and he will customize a drink to your liking. The vibes here are always nice and super friendly. I can't believe it's not packed out on a Friday night so I go and enjoy myself without the crowds and negative vibes of some of these overated lounges. Don't sleep on this place it's such a great vibe in the community for everyone.

Delicious (and cheap) stew chicken, rice and peas, and cabbage lunch! First time checking out the place and they have an amazing $7 takeout lunch option (12-4pm, including Saturdays!) - you can choose from stew chicken, curry chicken, or jerk chicken. You can also choose to dine in for the same options for $9. Chatted with the owner while I waited and he was great company. Very flavorful and the perfect portion! Will be back again!

Jerk wings were absolutely delicious! Customer service excellent....I wanted all flats and the guy was nice and said he likes all flats too....a bit pricey $13 for 6 wings....but was very delicious....will definitely be going back. **update** 2nd time coming for food....got jerk chicken dinner & rasta pasta.....absolutely delicious ....the owner was nice....nice vibes and great atmosphere.

I almost thought it was closed when I walked up during the day because of construction but I'm glad I went back. The food was delicious and well-portioned for the most part. I got the jerk chicken and the oxtails. The jerk chicken was a much better value. You got a lot more meat, especially for the price. I really liked that they put some sauce in the tray to mix in with your rice and other sides. If you're in the area, I'd recommend stopping by but bring cash because they have a 4% charge for cards.
