Casual restaurant that wasn't busy on a Saturday lunch - picked up an oxtail plate and island breeze plate. Got regular rice, cabbage, fried rice, and collards as sides. Additionally added plantains and mac n cheese. Oxtails were tender and tasty. Felt like it could have had a stronger flavor though. Island breeze chicken was very flavorful, sweet and spicy, a little too much sauce for me. Enjoyed all the sides! Would definitely return to try other dishes.

Food was tasty and excellent price. I had the jerk chicken and shrimp. Very good. Portions were large too. Give this spot a try. You'll enjoy it

Spice It Up does not play! Everything I ordered was so good…read more The Oxtail Dinner and Curry Goat are my favorites. If you've tried different West Indian/Caribbean restaurants, you know that both of those dishes can go very wrong if they don't know what they're doing. The serving of oxtail wasn't stingy at all and they gave plenty of gravy. The Curry Goat plate was great. I usually eat curry with white rice, but this time I got it with rice and peas. Very glad I did, because it went together perfectly. Their Mac and cheese is good - not the best I've had but a solid side. The plantain was fried perfectly too. Spice It Up is a great option if you're looking for a Caribbean food fix and you can't get homemade.

Okay so let's start with the pros, the food is actually very good. I got the jerk chicken "dinner"…read morewith rice and peas and cabbage and a side of plantains. Now let's get to the cons. The plantains while flavorful are precooked and sitting in a chafing dish like everything else so they get a tad slimy. The PORTION SIZE!!! I actually should've written the review in capital letters and the portion size comment in lower case because you aren't getting much for what you're spending. $27 for what I got was crazy: Three TINY pieces of chicken, a forkful of cabbage and a spoonful of rice and peas in a snack container, was downright criminal. The Yelp prices prices are absolutely INCORRECT, by about $10. Unfortunately I'm gonna have to drive all the way to Jamaica Mi Krazy by the stadium to get a real serving of food. I'd rather spend it in gas than give it away. Also the lady wasn't terrible in terms of attitude but she seemed annoyed that I didn't tip her. But like $27? I mean you got your tip honey. And I ALWAYS tip, but this was egregiously overpriced. For the aforementioned reasons I will not return unless I can catch the lunch special before 3. That would be the only time it would even remotely make sense. But also I could take the hike over to the stadium and get way more food for the same price at lunch too.

I drove a long way to visit this restaurant today, only to realize it wasn't actually my first time…read morehere. I remembered that one of my cousins had brought me here before for food, so I was expecting a decent experience. Unfortunately, today's visit was absolutely disappointing. I placed an order for oxtails, but they were out of mac & cheese, collard greens, and cabbage. The employee also mentioned they only had one dumpling left. What I don't understand is how a restaurant can be out of multiple sides that are supposed to come with the meal, yet still charge full price. The meal alone was $35. My son wanted additional items, so I still ordered food for him, but because the side options were so limited, I decided not to order anything for myself. In total, I ended up spending around $45, and the whole experience was just very disappointing. I really could've just bought the ingredients and made the meal myself, but I've been busy working in the house and handling a few projects, and before I realized it, the day had already gotten late. That's the main reason I decided to stop and buy food instead. Honestly, I guarantee I wouldn't have spent nearly as much making the meal myself as I ended up spending purchasing it there. To make matters worse, the employee serving us came across very nonchalant and unconcerned, which only added to the frustration. Overall, this is not a place I see myself visiting again anytime soon, if ever.

It's a HELLLLLLLL NO for me!!!!!…read more Went in for a veggie plate, all prices are different from what the menu says! Mac & Cheese is not considered a side item, so for the veggie plate you can only get Rice & Peas, collards, Cabbage or plantains basically...... They were unsure about what kinds of fish is being served. Prices are whatever they feel the price should be that day and not according to the menu-LOL! Restaurant was super clean and empty. Service was pleasantly absolutely unsure, and I can't say what the food tastes like because I exited as fast as I walked in. Restaurants.... Do better, we work hard for our money and e have options.

As a vegan I really appreciated this meal. I had the chickpea curry with cabbage and plantains, and…read moreit was honestly so good. The curry was flavorful, well-seasoned, and had a really comforting homemade taste. The cabbage was cooked perfectly and paired really well with the dish, and the plantains were sweet and delicious. Everything tasted fresh and satisfying, and the portion was solid for the price. My total came to around $15 after taxes, which felt like a great value for such a tasty and filling meal. I'll definitely be back when I'm craving a good, flavorful plant-based meal.

Plenty of parking in the strip mall and the restaurant is clean with 6 tables to dine in and eat from your to go containers. Seemed to be short staffed as we waited over 5 minutes for the cashier to finish plating up food orders and then take our order. Hubby was quite hungry by 2pm so we opted for a tasteless undercooked barely any filly veggie empanada type item from the heated prepared food box. We love jack fruit and this was the main reason for our visit. However, the curry and the jerk jackfruit were both rather tasteless. Portions are hefty and rice with pigeon peas plus overcooked cabbage are included. The few plaintains included were tasty. Food took over 20 minutes to show up for us- overall it was a long wait for meh food.

Not many places sell curry beef. I would even go as far as to say... It's rare to find a restaurant selling it. They have staples in the menu that they keep. Carribean fiesta also tends to have different carribean fused meals that you won't find elsewhere. I like this place

The restaurant is open daily and you can order great Caribbean food for dine in or to go. They even are on apps like door dash but the vibe is so much better inside . They also have an outdoor patio if you don't want to sit inside Some nights they have special events and stay open late for a more party vibe. The staff is great. They make you feel special as a customer and encourage you to be a repeat guest. This is what I've been missing in the Gwinnett area and I'm so glad I found it . You have to check this place out !

Mauricio in particular was a delight.
