The Dominican Restaurant

Thank you!! We needed this in Raleigh! Real Authentic Dominican Food!

Food was amazing!!! Brought me back to my childhood same delicious food my friends mom used to make for me growing up. I'll be a customer for life.

We went on the grand opening on May 17th and it is great to have an authentic Dominican restaurant in Raleigh. The restaurant occupies a former Jamaican restaurant space and is on Capital Blvd. We heard about it from a friend on Instagram and are glad we did. The food is set up cafeteria-style and you pick from the displayed food behind the glass or from the menu on the screen. We ordered empanadas to start and they have chicken, cheese and other fillings. Honestly, the empanadas tasted like they were fried in old oil so not sure I would order again. The entrees were homemade and rico. For entrees, we had the beef guisado and chicken with a side of white rice, beans and the ensalada rusa (beet salad). The beans have pumpkin and you can pour them over the rice or eat separately. Everything was flavorful and delicious. The gentleman running the register said they are from New York and we were excited to find a Dominican community here in NC. They don't have their alcohol license just yet, however when they do, they will be serving up Presidente. They have fresh passion fruit juice , lemonade and fountain drinks for now. I also noticed breakfast items so you can go before lunch. Pictures of the bandera and Santo Domingo line the walls and there is seating inside and outside. Our food was served in to-go containers and the prices and portions match up. We will be back soon y gracias!
