I don't…read moreget in the neighborhood much, but if I knew I got here I would not be disappointed which again I was not. They even let me sample a different item because I always get their jerk chicken which I got again and was very delighted and I got the rice and peas. They gave me plenty of cabbage and well done plantains. The guys were very nice and patient then I enjoyed the curry gravy over my rice and peas. Definitely a meal for two. Unless you don't want to share like I didn't it lasted for two meals. I usually take more pictures, but I was on the run. Thanks Guys

came by here for lunch since I did a delivery here in past and the food smelled and looked amazing…read more so first they are super friendly here and polite, for a first visit, I felt very welcomed. so, I ordered a middle stew chicken, middle oxtail and an almond cake. 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 oxtail was gross..it tasted like it was boiled with a little salt. The gravy/sauce/stewings…read morewas watery. I was VERY disappointed. 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. The service was... typical jamaican friendliness - which is to say NOT friendly. the place was very clean.

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.
