I honestly felt so good after eating the food here and that's how you know the ingredients in your dishes are of good QUALITY. Our bodies can tell after we eat unhealthy American fast food, we feel sluggish and like sh*t but HERE at Kiwaz Caribbean Spice, I closed my eyes with every bite and I felt so good after I ate my food!!! They have a cool little set-up with a service window so you can order when you get there. I also saw they have seafood boil so I'm definitely going to try that my next time. God bless and thank you to the owners and chefs of this amazing cuisine! I am a Cambodian local of Lowell, born and raised, and your food reminds me of the love and herbs we pour into our own dishes.

We dined here as a party of two and were disappointed overall. The restaurant was very cold, with…read moreonly one space heater, which made it uncomfortable to sit and eat. The menu clearly listed margaritas at $15, but we were charged $32 for two. When we questioned it, we were told the menu had changed -- even though the menu we were given still showed the $15 price. This should have been communicated before ordering. An automatic 18% service charge was also added, making the final bill extremely high for just two people. Between the lack of pricing transparency and the uncomfortable dining temperature, it did not feel like good value. Additionally, $9 for small empanadas and $5 extra for avocado which usually comes with meals..felt excessive. Unfortunately, we would not return.

Great food, even when a busy festival is keeping the kitchen on its toes!…read more Maya's Kitchen is great, the food is tasty, and the service is delightful. I am saddened to learn that they are closing next year, but that just means that I need to eat there more while she is still open! The Mac & Cheese has a great Caribbean spice, certainly a top contender for M&C and the Chicken Curry is equally tasty. I wish that there was a larger dining room, it's quiet, but I expect that plenty of people come in for take-out, since the meals easily make it home without much loss of flavor. I look forward to visiting more in the future and trying out her entire menu.

Maya's Kitchen is a good spot if you're looking for authentic African food. The food is flavorful,…read moresatisfying, and definitely the highlight of the experience. If you're craving traditional African dishes, this is a solid place to visit. The customer service is decent -- the staff are polite, welcoming, and helpful. You won't experience anything extraordinary, but they are friendly and respectful. The ambiance is simple and more on the casual side. It feels like a low-key, everyday dining spot rather than a place for special occasions or date nights. However, that doesn't take away from the authenticity of the food. Overall, I would recommend Maya's Kitchen for anyone looking for good, authentic African cuisine in a relaxed and casual setting. It's a great choice for takeout or a casual meal when you're in the mood for traditional flavors.

Great place to stop for hot Jamaican food!…read more One Love Cuisine was originally located in Sanford, ME (their old space seems to have been home to several different types of eateries in recent years). They moved their business into the Mall at Fox Run food court in late 2021. They also offer online ordering via Toast and DoorDash pickup or delivery (higher pricing). They offer a variety of hot dishes including buffet style offerings such as oxtail, jerk chicken, curry chicken, curry goat, jerk pork, fish (whole), fried chicken and sides. They also offer fresh cooked food including fish & chips, snapper, curry shrimp, salmon burgers, veggie burgers, jerk chicken breast, spinach Mac & cheese, grilled salmon and chicken wings. Bottled sodas and juices in the cooler. After a quick errand at the mall, I stopped by One Love Cuisine for dinner takeout recently. I ordered the Grilled Salmon Dinner ($16.99 plus tax) which included choice of two sides and a festival (fried bread stick). My food was prepared to order in the back kitchen and ready to go in 15 minutes after ordering. The grilled salmon was soft and tender covered in a zesty and mild spicy orange sauce served with my side choices of dark rice & beans and very cheesy and dense mac & cheese (soft shells pasta) and a very firm small fried bread stick, great for dipping into the sauce. This dish was amazing and I would definitely order the grilled salmon again and try their other tasty offerings here.

Excellent customer service! Perhaps why they churn in and out customers in a blink. The food is…read morepacked diligently in spill-proof containers, with a heart for customer satisfaction. I appreciated that so much! My child said he'd retake the train for the jerk chicken; he devoured it lovingly! Not the same with my oxtail; I wanted curry goat, but it was no more. Too oily for my liking, and not the savory spiced oxtail I've had in several Caribbean restaurants. I liked the collard greens, though....but give my food to a man sitting in the park across. It appeared to be a "to-go" place, as the space is limited for movement and sitting around to eat. But across the street is a park off Main Street. Still, the menu is varied, with something for everyone!!

It contained griyo (fried pork shoulder), rice and beans, bannann peze (fried plantains), pikliz (pickled veggies), side salad, and Sos Ti-Malice (warm hot sauce). The fried items in the dish were both flavorful and quite tender. The pikliz (pickled veggies) were a necessary, very tasty complement to the dish. The hot sauce was nice and quite balanced spice-wise. I also got the Soursop with Ginger and Lime drink (ask for their fresh juices). It was refreshing, with an intense ginger burn after each sip. However, it was pretty expensive at ~$9. Note that certain pictured menu items may not be available and other available items may not be on the menu.
