Sunrise Caribbean Restaurant is D.C.’s best kept secret for authentic Caribbean cuisine. Co-owners Alisa Plaza and Selwyn Mungo are Trinidadian entrepreneurs who opened the restaurant in 2008 and strive to strike the perfect balance between healthy and home cooking. Using fresh, locally-sourced ingredients, Sunrise Caribbean Restaurant offers a wide range of Trinidadian dishes with vegetarian and vegan friendly options — like their bold, spicy jerk chicken, potato and channa roti, tender oxtail, and vegan barbeque.
