I especially enjoyed the suya tacos for their novelty, the ginger beer's strong flavor, the spice of the signature red sauce, and the diverse, beautiful wall art. The space is medium to large sized; it's clean but a little disorganized in the far corners. Parking is easy and customer service is good. There's a lot of little things to enjoy here. Overall, I'd recommend!

This Caribbean spot has a great location in a former Pizza Hut, so there's plenty of parking and…read moreeasy access. The concept has potential, but the restaurant itself needs some work. The inside is extremely dark, and the old carpet makes the space feel dated. A few upgrades and design tweaks would make a huge difference. The menu is overloaded with too many options. Sometimes less is more, especially for a Caribbean restaurant trying to maintain quality and speed. Service was another issue. The wait for food was way too long, and while most restaurants cook to order, customers still expect communication and efficiency. A strong General Manager could really help tighten up operations and improve the overall experience. The food itself was decent once it arrived. One thing that didn't make sense was offering different spice levels for Caribbean food. Just serve the dishes as intended and offer pepper sauce on the side for customers who want extra heat. Overall, the restaurant has potential because of the location and decent food, but the atmosphere, service, and management side need serious improvement. I will leave a 5 but will be back ownership (address your customers sentiment), previous reviews.

This is by far one of the worst food experiences I have ever experienced. I loved the way my food…read morewas played so the various flavors didn't touch. However, the dishes fit the table cane out one at a time every 10 mins or so. By the time the first person finished the last person was just getting food. If you wanted the food would be cold. We Waited for over an hour for the parrot fish for it not to be served. This was the greatest disappointment and last straw. The server walked out in the middle of her shift and the kitchen couldn't handle the patrons there were 6 tables and a few people at bar. Witnessed groups walk out due to the lack of service. I would NOT recommend and caution you to temper your expectations prior to going. Expect the worst so you will be pleasantly surprised.

And made sure to place an ubereats order both times, so I could fly back home and share this gem with my mom. I promise you, anything you order will surpass your expectations. I didn't get a picture of the fried Oreos, but make sure not to leave this spot without a sweet treat. They have the best bread pudding I've ever had. My cousins and I always pulled up for a late night bite, literally minutes before closing, and the food has always been a hit. You can absolutely feel and see the passion and love that goes into this restaurant. Shoutout to Derv, Harold, Alex, and the other staff for their hospitality and amazing customer service. 100000000000000000000000/10!!!!!! Pull up on them!

My BFF (my Wife) and I stopped here with some friends visiting from New York after seeing them…read moreonline. We were all craving some good Caribbean food, but unfortunately, this experience was really lackluster and did not live up to the reviews The service was frustrating. The girl at the register seemed to be on her phone the whole time, I couldn't tell if she was calculating something or just talking, but she definitely missed the mark on our order. We specifically asked for Steak and Cheese Egg Rolls with no mushrooms. By the time we got home, we realized she gave us Jerk Chicken Egg Rolls instead. They were a mess; sauce was all over the container and the fries, and the chicken inside was incredibly dry and overcooked. Surprisingly, the Fried Rice was really good, which isn't the first thing I'd associate with a Caribbean spot. The Jerk Fried Chicken Sandwich was also a standout and one of the best things we had. Our friends ordered the Rasta Pasta, which was very heavy and spicy, and the Jerk Chicken with Rice and Peas. They had asked for wings but got dry grilled strips instead, which was disappointing. My Cabbage and Collard Greens were also pretty average--I've definitely had better. Between the order being wrong, the dry chicken, and the distracted service, it just wasn't what I hoped for. It was an okay meal, but nothing I'd recommend or go back for. Definitely inspect your bag before you leave this place. Sorry about the pitiful picture I was so annoyed and remembered after I made a plate to snap a quick pic.

I'm bringing you another hidden gem!! This one is still hidden because well, I don't see you here yet ... I had a hunkering and craving for Suya, that I just couldn't Shake, and I knew this spot was new and made a U turn....skurrrrrt before heading home on an empty tummy tank‼ let me tell you, I'm glad I popped in, the manager was on deck and made my Suya fresh and hot, I also got the jollof rice as a side, the Suya was perfect, and if you know Suya the trick is to get the right, rich and flavorful chewiness and tenderness colliding, the manager even served me up a few puff puffs for patronizing the business!!! I felt like a winner today, for sure. Don't forget the spicy and I mean SPICY pepper sauce for to dip your meat in, as you know I don't eat food to eat food, I eat the food to eat the sauce, but let me warn you, if you do t know west African food, and I mean home cooked right from the mother land, you better get hip, they have flavor and SPICE AND ITS NOT FOR THE WEAK, bruh! this spot is right across the street from Dematha high school and if the football coach knew what's good and need them boys to get some pepp in their step, he'd intro them to this place, protein packed ehummm (to the weight lifting coach)but I digress, everyone else, this spot "GOT NEXT", it's and Afro Paruvian combination menu, someone definitely had a bright idea, perfect for this region to combine two of the most poppin culinary delights in these streets.

Hubs and I split the half chicken and three sides and it was a perfect amount of food.

I don't usually write reviews, but after spending a significant amount of money on my meal, I feel…read morecompelled to share my experience. I ordered the two-meat combo with rice and peas and steamed vegetables. The jerk chicken was okay, but unfortunately, the oxtails were extremely disappointing. There was very little meat on the oxtails, and what little meat there was was extremely tough. The meat-to-fat ratio was also unacceptable. The pieces I received had an excessive amount of fat and very little edible meat. As someone who is West Indian and cooks regularly, I understand that oxtails require time and patience. In my opinion, the oxtails needed to be cooked low and slow for a longer period of time to achieve the tenderness you would expect. I would also recommend using oxtails with a better meat-to-fat ratio. If you're going to charge a premium price for oxtails, the quality should match the price. I would encourage the owner and cook to taste the food before serving it to customers to ensure that the quality and consistency meet expectations. I was sick the day I ordered and was hoping to treat myself to a good meal instead of cooking. Unfortunately, the oxtails were not enjoyable. Moving forward, sick or not, I'll be making my own oxtails and patronizing another establishment. I'm sharing this feedback because I hope the restaurant takes it constructively. There is definitely room for improvement.

"Look No Further" Spiced Black is the Alpha and Omega when it comes to healthy bowls. Their menu is…read moreoutstanding and loaded with delicious protein options ( from salmon, to multiple choices of chicken ) and when you add in the different sauces and vegetable combinations you can create the perfect bowl balance. I've tried multiple bowls at Spiced Black... including their salmon, BBQ chicken and grilled chicken bowls. They offer the freshest and most versatile ingredients, which places them in a different stratosphere than other similar places. The moment you walk through the door, you're greeted with great enthusiasm and energy by the youthful staff. They show an eagerness that always makes me feel welcomed. My endorsement is 100% behind "Spiced Black" Whether it's a rice bowl or salad bowl or a combination of both, trust me when I say it'll be: FRESH & HIGHLY FLAVORED !!!!!!

This is my new FAVORITE Salad spot! Baby that Cornbread Caesar Salad with Chipotle Caesar dressing…read moreis EVERYTHING. I don't even like spicy but that salad dressing and those croutons are it. Plus, you can't forget the grilled chicken. No lie, I think after I had it the first time, I had it 2 more times that same week . A friend ordered this for me on door dash, which is how I ended up with the chipotle Caesar. Otherwise, I would have never tried it. Don't get me wrong, it has a little kick, but very tolerable and packed with flavor. The line is never too long and they move fast in there. Whenever I am near, I have been stopping in. I believe they have a rewards program but I am not really sure what the points go towards and I always feel as though I am holding up the line so I have been skipping past it, but I really need to investigate that. P.S. the regular caesar does not taste like such and I would not recommend at all.
