Feb 28 | Sapodilla's Grand Opening in Historic Anacostia
About
”Family owned and operated, once you’ve visited Sapodilla’s, you become part of the family. Sapodilla’s is not just a restaurant; it’s a welcoming home where every customer becomes part of the family. Their story reflects the power of determination, passion, and family values in achieving success and building a lasting legacy. Marva, Wilken Kitt and their family’s journey from Guyana to the United States is a testament to their courage and entrepreneurial spirit. Their decision to leave behind a successful garment factory business in pursuit of a new life in the U.S. is both inspiring and daring.
Samantha’s passion for food and her dedication to preserving her family’s legacy recipes led to the creation of Sapodilla’s Caribbean Restaurant. Her 1999 college assignment became the foundation for a thriving family-driven catering business that eventually blossomed into a renowned restaurant since 2007.”
