Had to update the review. Definitely one of the best places in Newburgh if not the top of the heap…read more Never had bad meal here yet. He has a standard menu that is always set to about 5 or 6 options on the Hot tray. There is a small menu that's off items that you have to ask him such as boiled plantains and other down-home Jamaican goods. His rum cake is definitely some of the best I've had. Give it a shot if you have a chance. He has started to introduce jumble sauce which you can add to your food, you just have to ask if the homemade stuff is available. It's usually right behind the counter on the shelves in Plainview. If you like hot Jamaican patties on the spicy side you have to get here before 4 o'clock if not they're all gone. The drinks aren't too bad either he offers sea moss, Irish moss and a bunch of fruit juices. Also some of the best fried chicken in Newburgh. ::PLEASE BE AWARE HE OPERATES ON ISLAND TIME; HE LIKES TO LINGER OVER THE RICE WHILE POURING THE GRAVY AND MAKES SURE THE PLANTAINS ARE ARRANGED JUST RIGHT. ITS WORTH THE WAIT::

Took me a while to finally try here and let say it worth it. Am disregarding the service since…read morethere only one guy working here and only a small table so more of a to go place. The jerk chicken is amazing, very freshly made on grill outside and let me say even without the sauce it's very flavorful and smoked so well, plus it's still maintained it's juiciness and tenderness, which hard to get perfect on chicken, but here it nails it. The sauce itself is Smokey, sweet and tangy, definitely adds and tasted great on the rice as well. Potato salad, I thought was alright not overkilled on mayo and many chucks of potatoes while keeping the peppers to min. Mac and cheese was okay, and the rice and beans were the same, great, but not amazing like chicken by a mile.

The chicken was moist and tender, the veggies were tender and cooked perfectly. The sauce was very savory and flavorful, man this was best stew chicken I ever had, nothing ever came close. so, for the Oxtail all the same with meat, veggies and sauce. Truly incredible. The rice and bean were something else, usually I never taste the coconut flavor with rice, but this time I totally could, it was yummy. now for the almond cake, it was moist and soft, the cream filling was amazing, it was soft and melted in your mouth, never had I ever had almond cake so well made, usually it's the cake that is dried out and filling hardened, but no this cake well above all that, wish I had another slice. overall, this my new fav place for Jamaican cuisine.

The most recent addition to the array of Jamaican restaurants in Newburgh, Real Spice; A Taste of…read morethe Island delivers on all fronts. I've visited 4 times and tried a few different dishes and have been happy with the results everytime. I'm a fan of the jamaican beef patties and this place has a variety of patty that i've never seen before and is way tastier and less greasier than other places in town. The chicken patty and veggie patties are definitely some of the best i've had, not overly seasoned and they are served baked and flaky. A classic dish is Jerk chicken with rice and peas with cabbage. The chicken had a very nice kick to it with a hint of cinnamon. The spice wasn't overbearing and the chicken was grilled perfectly. I've had the Ox tail stew and can say it was fall off the bone tender and the pieces were moderate in size. Not the biggest ox-tails in newburgh but it was well seasoned and was noteworthy. The Curried Goat was certainly one of the best dishes on the daily menu. Its in a yellow gravy with tender cubes of potato. The meat is tender and not gamey at all. They offer a variety of cakes; cheese, rum, red velvet and carrot cake to make a few. Fresh carrot juice and mango juice was spotted behind the counter. If you like sour dough bread, they have it for sale here along with other Jamaican specialities. Real Spice is open for breakfast and offers the classical morning specialties. the steam and fried snapper is delicious. you can call ahead of time to have it prepared as well.

The coconut shrimp tasted like it used to be good before it sat out all evening, drying out and getting tough. I'm used to oxtail that is home cooked OR from Golden Krust in NYC. I shan't be back.

Chicken was bursting with flavor, very savory and just the right amount of salt, plus the sauce it was bathed in was on point. Rice and beans were great, seasoned lightly and very soft. Not really a fan of cabbage or plantains, so I give those away. I do appreciate the fact the guy behind the counter poured the chicken sauce over the rice, always love sauce over rice.
