Testimonials

On 7/25/2026 Keyionna Munroe had this to say:
I called to get some soup and they had it, freshly made. The owner ran to the store to buy the ingredients and poured love into it. I got the fish tea! And it was exactly what I thought it would be. They also had a backyard space to dine in, which was really nice! It was extremely quiet and private. I really appreciate Miss Jackie! Bless her heart!

On 6/30/2026 Giana Chen had this to say:
I can’t wait to come back! I got the jerk pork and oxtail and both were delicious. The oxtail was so tender and the rice and peas with gravy was pure comfort. Definitely worth a visit!

I had a last minute catered event at Spice Restaurant. The owner, Jackie was accommodating even though the timing was tight. I appreciated that. The food was delicious and good sized portions. I will definitely buy her dinners again.

Best jerk chicken. The owners were so kind and gave samples of pasta which was delicious as well. Also their backyard patio so cozy and warm felt like home. It’s a must visit.
