Seta Oasis Restaurant & Lounge: Bringing Vibrant Caribbean Flavors to D.C

Seta Oasis was born from a deep love for Caribbean heritage and a passion for soulful, plant-based cuisine. Created to bring bold, vibrant vegan flavors to Washington, D.C., the space was designed as a cultural haven—where flavor, community, and intention come together.

The name honors Seta, a Jamaican matriarch whose warmth and spirit continue to shape the restaurant’s mission. Her legacy lives on in every recipe, every smile, and every detail. More than just a place to eat, Seta Oasis is a labor of love and a tribute to roots, resilience, and vision.

Seta Oasis Caribbean Restaurant brings island flavor to every plate with vibrant, soulful dishes that capture the heart of Caribbean cooking. Start light and fresh with the Mango Jerk Salad, a colorful mix of mango, avocado, romaine, tomatoes, and cucumber tossed in a bright honey-lime vinaigrette.

For something heartier, the Goat Curry—available only on Fridays and Saturdays—offers tender bone-in goat simmered with potatoes and served alongside white rice and a crisp cucumber-tomato salad.

The Brown Stew Chicken delivers comforting, home-style richness with deep, savory seasoning and a slow-cooked finish. End your meal on a sweet note with the Rum Cake, a moist, buttery sponge soaked in dark Caribbean rum and topped with toasted walnuts for the ultimate indulgence.

Seta Oasis’s vegan menu celebrates bold Caribbean flavors with fresh, nourishing ingredients that satisfy both body and soul. The Ital Stew blends curried chickpeas, bell peppers, and coconut milk in a rich tomato base served over fluffy basmati rice for a wholesome, comforting bowl.

The King of the Garden stars hearty oyster mushrooms and kale with red beans, vegan cheese, and wild rice for a dish that’s as vibrant as it is filling. The Vegan Rasta Pasta brings island heat with jerk-seasoned vegan chicken, bell peppers, and creamy coconut milk tossed with penne and served with soft coco bread. For something handheld and hearty, the Crumble Wrap delivers all the flavor and flair of Caribbean street food in one satisfying bite.
