Went to visit for a birthday party. Did not get to check out the upstairs. But we had a really great time. The vibe is really nice. The atmosphere definitely gives the social media post approval. It's decorated very nicely. The service was prompt, and food was delivered at a decent speed. Drinks were okay, expensive-but most things are these days. They just opened a month ago according to the information I got. I would definitely return.

Well, this was a great find for a bunch. I had the oxtail & butter grits, and man, I didn't know what I was missing in life until that first bite. The food was great and the staff was great the vibes were right.

Our first experience and we had a great time. We chose brunch which was so good. We were early so Will attended to us. He was amazing. We also got to meet manager who was also very accommodating. Food, drinks, service, and ambiance was phenomenal. We will definitely be back for lunch and dinner.

Black Diamond Restaurant & Lounge delivers a uniquely elevated dining experience in Downtown Silver Spring, Maryland area with a vibrant ambiance, polished service, and authentic Afro-Caribbean flavors that stand out. I visited during their happy hour and was impressed with the curated drink selections and flavorful small plates—especially the chicken tacos, which were tender, well-seasoned, and beautifully presented. The highlight of the evening was their signature SUYA—perfectly spiced, juicy, and served sizzling hot. It’s easily one of the best Suya plates I’ve had in the city. The atmosphere was upscale yet inviting, and the staff were attentive, professional, and knowledgeable about the menu. Whether you're stopping by for a casual happy hour or a full dinner experience, Black Diamond delivers on both quality and hospitality. Highly recommended for group outings, date nights, and food lovers looking for something culturally rich and refined!

Henri our server was AWESOME!! We ordered oxtail tacos, shrimp rasta pasta, & chargrilled red snapper. We each had a drink, tequila sunrise & black diamond strawberry, passion fruit margarita. We didn't eat all our meal since it was a large portion. The food was very, very good! It was worth every penny. If you're ever in the area do yourself a favor & treat yourself. You definitely won't be disappointed!!!!!

Today was my 2nd day at this place for my birthday dinner. For the 2 times, the food was great, the service exceptional. I was told they have a lounge, but I did not visit. Keep in mind that security will check purses. I was told the parking was somewhere behind the building. I parked out. Lucky me my car did not get towed.

We came during brunch and our experience was wonderful. The interior design and setup is beautiful.The music was great as well. Our server Henry was knowledgeable about the menu and provided us with a complimentary mimosa kit. He was also kind and welcoming and made our first visit a great one!
