I visited the Spice House in Lithonia and sat at the bar, where Nay was our bartender. The service was absolutely amazing! She was attentive, friendly, and very prompt in taking our order. Our drinks were made perfectly, and she made the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. If you're planning to sit at the bar, definitely ask for Nay--you won't be disappointed! read more

I was really looking forward to patronizing this Caribbean icon's establishment, especially experiencing it outside of NYC. Considering I already think NYC has thee best food options, I went in open and hopeful to be proven wrong. I arrived excited and ready to vibe, but that excitement quickly faded. The aesthetic, or lack thereof, was disappointing. I expected something vibrant, colorful, or even a chic modern look. Instead, the space felt neglected and unkept. I was also surprised by the absence of music, which immediately threw off the atmosphere, though I tried to keep in mind that this isn't NYC. Once seated, I noticed how mash-up the chairs were. Mine literally had exposed nails. Still, in anticipation of mimosas and Jamaican food for brunch, I shifted slightly to the side and focused on enjoying my best friend's company. Our server was just alright. Very much giving "here for the paycheck," not necessarily service-driven. Unfortunately, that's become common these days, so I adjusted my expectations, and tipped accordingly. The menu itself had promise. I appreciated the Southern fusion options with a Jamaican twist, and the hookah menu was surprisingly comprehensive, though we chose not to order one. We opted for the unlimited mimosas, and to be fair, we definitely got our money's worth. That said, I was disappointed to learn they were pre-mixed. I prefer fresh orange juice with popped brut or sparkling, and once I saw how the drinks were prepared, it made sense for a busy brunch crowd- just not my preference. For food, we ordered the oxtail egg rolls to start, along with the Spice Breakfast and chicken and waffles. Everything was... fine. No real complaints, but no standout moments either. Overall, the brunch was okay. I might give them another try for dinner, but this visit didn't quite live up to the expectations. read more

I found this place on Yelp while traveling through Atlanta. It's a restaurant, club, bar, and hookah lounge. I had the Kingston Jerk Chicken, with red beans and rice, cabbage and vegetables. It was amazing! Great portions, and I ate most of it before I gave up. So good! The service is excellent, and the ambiance is very laid back, yet happy and festive. read more

Visited Spice House Thursday for happy hour. It was not happy. The appetizers tasted like they were rewarmed and reserved. We had the wings, oxtail eggrolls, and spice eggrolls. They were not good at all. I don't know what happened. However, the customer service from May was Awesome tho!! The ambiance was nice. read more

My Mom & I got the WORST food poisoning we've ever had -- all from Mother's Day brunch @ Spice House Lithonia. Severe abdominal pain for DAYS and all. BOTH households went to the doctor. BOTH diagnosed w/ food poisoning. Ordered stool culture. Advised to file a complaint with the Health Department. Talked w/ management, who RUDELY tried to mention a flawless kitchen, so I researched: This "restaurant" recently had a HEALTH SCORE OF 49. Not a 79. Not a 69. ....... A 49. *** FORTY. NINE. **** Can't get Health Inspection above the 70s in 2026. My mother had the Mother's Day Lobster Pasta special. I had the Rasta Pasta. I only took ONE bite of her dish. She never touched mine. We BOTH got sick. And the damage didn't stop there. The sickness was so bad my father had to cancel the rest of our Mother's Day plans that evening. Also, Mother's Day concert tickets for that Monday? Missed. Non-refundable tickets wasted because too sick to attend. Complete lack of accountability from management. I spoke with the manager, Tim, calmly asking for ONE thing: refund the FOOD only. Not the drinks. Not the gratuity. Waitress was excellent and I still tipped ~40%. Total bill was around $174. I'm always a big tipper so this isn't someone wanting a check. Tim became defensive, dismissive, and completely unprofessional. He repeatedly interrupted me, asked questions then REFUSED to let me answer them, cursed while discussing staff issues, and actually said things like, "Well if you were REALLY sick, why didn't you go to the doctor?" Sir... it had only been a lil more than ONE FULL DAY. We went the NEXT DAY after that. Then he claimed nobody else complained. But after asking publicly, multiple people reported getting sick after the Mother's Day brunch too. Some even pointed me towards other discussions online. When I tried showing him? He walked away mid-conversation. I've eaten here many times for the Thursday crab leg nights. The food often tastes good, but they constantly run out of items, and looking back, I've gotten mysteriously sick more than once after eating there and could never pinpoint the source until now. That's the dangerous part!!!!!!!!!!!!! ****The food CAN taste good while still being improperly handled.**** Tim claimed their inspections were "flawless", which made me look them up and see that is objectively false. Anyone can look up DeKalb County Board of Health inspection records and see that this restaurant has struggled badly with health scores. A 49 health score is not "one bad night." That's a PATTERN. I tried to resolve this PRIVATELY and peacefully. Instead I got denial, DISRESPECT, and zero accountability after they made my MAMA sick on Mother's Day. At this point, with:Medical diagnoses.Documented symptoms.Multiple similar complaints.Poor health inspection history.And management refusing accountability... ...this is starting to look less like a private complaint and more like a PUBLIC, NEWS-WORTHY health issue. Spice House --this situation is FAR from over. read more

Parking is tight. You can pay for valet parking closer to the door. The ambiance was nice. Of course there is hookah and a DJ. My cousin and I sat at the bar. The bartenders were very nice. My Rasta pasta came out dry and the bartender returned it to the kitchen to get it fixed for me. I'm said the Cascade road location isn't coming back. I don't know how many times I will drive to Lithonia for my favorite Rasta pasta. The Midtown location is a no for me. read more

I've been a fan of spice house for years and I'm so glad they decided to open a location in Lithonia. This was hands-down the best location out of the three that I've tried in the metro Atlanta area. I came in on a Friday during lunch and was greeted by the staff immediately and ordered the Jerk Chicken lunch special. The food was so delicious especially the cabbage it had so much flavor and spice and the chicken was cooked perfectly. Highly recommend you come and get this dish and have a taste of the authentic flavors. read more

Star soley based on management interaction. Went in 6/19 for an ADVERTISED FiFA watch party. Our only visible tv was showing an old Virginia tech game. We asked the waitress to change the TV and she said she couldn't. So, I went to the lobby area where the manager was posted and asked if he could change to the Haiti match (since that is what we came for) and he said, and I'm quoting, "only 3 TVs can get the match so the other one can't, I don't know what you want ME to do". I said, well, we came because you advertised a watch party and from our seat we can't watch the game. Again he said, while looking at his phone... "what do you want me to do". Listen, you NEVER have to worry about me visiting this location again. We paid for our drinks and left. Sometimes you should be careful who you talk to. I won't be back and I'll be sure NO one associated with me attends either read more

I was here on a Thursday night ambiance amazing, DJ had the crowd going all night and all the wait staff was amazing. Let's talk about my order Fish $5 great deals for the quality taste and price, crab clusters $5 NOPE it was malnourished. I almost sent it back but it was $5 so whatever. I ordered a Texas margarita and this is the problem right here it was $24. It was worth about $12 however..... it was $12 for the margarita + $4 for the Texas + $8 for the teremano..... that's severely overpriced and not worth it. So if I ordered another round it would have been $50 NOPE If I come back I will definitely pregame and only order a shot cause who tf paying this much for a margarita in Lithonia read more

Food and vibes were great ! I would definitely go back ! Jerk was spicy , the waitress suggested another meal that was more to my liking !

Service was good. Ambiance is good. Well decorated. The food was ok to me. Nothing to brag about. It maybe different for you. It's kind of a bar/club as well. Guess that's why it's also had lounge in its name ‍ read more

While in town we visited the Spice House off of recommendation from a local friend and 'BY GOLLY' when I tell you it was hands down the BEST experience all around!! Lexie, our waitress, was so patient and attentive to our requests. I didn't get the bartenders name, but she concocted my drink request perfectly! The manager, beautiful sweetheart Ruthy's energy and vibe was unmatched!!! From the moment we walked in...though a little uncertain of what to expect....everyone was so quick to great us and seat us! Down to the excellent service and drinks, we demanded to meet the Chef, Junior, to personally thank him for the amazing food....such a kind, humble young man!! We intend to eat here every night until we leave this weekend!! I highly recommend Spice House and I will certainly dine here EVERY time I'm in Atlanta!! Thank you so much Ruthy, Lexie and Junior!! You all are the BEST!! See you again tonight!!! read more

This was my second time here but definitely the best time! I heard they had a happy hour and it's one of the best there! $5 appetizers $10 drinks $15 hookah and not only that on Thursdays they have oysters forc$2 and $5 crab legs! The specials don't run at the same time though! The food Not to over exaggerate but everything was so good! Oxtail eggrolls: 9/10 Oxtail Rasta pasta: 10/10 perfect amount of flavor and actually a good amount of oxtail! Crab legs: 9/10 I'm not a big crab leg fan but these were good. A little on the small side but good. They had a Cajun flavor and garlic butter. Oysters: 10/10 enough said Wings: 9/10 could have been a little more seasoned. We also ordered lemon drops which weren't my favorite. They tasted a little soapy like too much syrup and been used but were very cute. Our server Sisi was amazing! Very attentive and gave great suggestions. The ambiance was so cute! They had a stage where there was a host and Dj for the karaoke night! A great place for a date night or girls night out! read more

Second Time coming here, I ordered salmon with mashed & broccoli and Wings with macaroni. Both meals were around $32 the wings was a good portion and taste great, The salmon was different from the last time I had it , wasn't too please with the type of salmon they used it was very small and the portion overall was very small considering the price. Other than that the taste was pretty good my only complaint is the salmon type and the portion. read more

Spice House Lithonia is a small restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere. WARNING: The parking is very limited and there is a cover charge of $10. My friends and I went to check out the live band. We were offered the opportunity to reserve seats online for free, so I reserved three. Well, don't waste your time because the seating was nothing like the layout online. The available tables were created for two guests, which was disappointing. We had to sit all the way in the back of the restaurant, however, the elevated positioning allowed us a clear view of the band. We ordered oxtail egg rolls and shrimp for appetizers, which were pretty good. My friends ordered a seafood bowl and salmon with broccoli and mashed potatoes. They stated that the entrées were okay and that the broccoli was bland. On a brighter note, the band was amazing, and the lighting effects were very entertaining! I would return to Spice House Lithonia to enjoy the live music, but it's not my new favorite spot. read more

The minute we walked in we were greeted with kindness. Our server (Dante) was very polite and courteous. He even realized that he interrupted my sister and I praying over our food without noticing. So he came back to lend a very sincere apology even though we weren't even offended lol it was sweet. The ambiance was great! The chairs are so comfortable and it's a nice little vibe inside. The music was very good. Although, there were some songs I'd prefer not to hear in a public restaurant like this with such vulgar words. But majority of the music was appropriate and that good o'l 90s early 2000s vibe RnB & hip hop. I actually mentioned the choice music to the dj when he asked and he totally agreed with me lol so that was nice. Now on to the chefs (Diamond & Vance) and the food 10/10 highly recommend! That DIP?! Omg..... I've never had seafood dip so delicious the wings were good as well, maybe just a BIT salty... but not overwhelming. I still enjoyed them. The oxtails egg rolls were good as well. My favorite thing was the DIP! lol the seafood Mac and cheese was also very good. yeah come here and enjoy read more

I had fun. It's like a good restaurant with a good vibe. Not valid it's more lounge than anything they still have a bar you can sit at. DJ wasn't bad and my biggest pet peeve was I asked for my check to be separate from the group and she still bundled my part with the table. Which mistake or on purpose kinda makes rubbed me strangely either way. I would come but recommend...still undecided. But nonetheless them oxtail egg rolls was worth burning the tongue for. Plus the dip was beyond a perfect pairing that I really couldn't fault them for twist of two cultures. I just kept eating and adding that sauce. read more

Spice House Lithonia - Oxtail Eggrolls - Caribbean Near Me - Lithonia, Georgia

I've visited this Spice House location a couple of times, once for their karaoke night and most recently to meet a friend for brunch. I decided to write this review because of the service we received. Everyone was super nice and accommodating, and I have to give a special shout out to Nay, the bartender who took care of us when we came in. The host hadn't yet arrived so we weren't sure if we should just sit anywhere, and Nay directed us to a table and continued to be our primary server, even though she's the bartender and when we arrived she was the only bartender working. Only the brunch menu was available (which was a bummer because the curry chicken is sooooo good!), but I had the crab cake hash which was tastier than I expected. I don't normally eat seafood, so I wasn't expecting to enjoy it as much as I did. The dish included potatoes, tiny shrimp and one small crab cake with a remoulade sauce, and the sauce is what made it all come together. Keep in mind that this isn't a seafood restaurant, so it is what it is. My friend had the veggie omelet, and she enjoyed it. We shared the oxtail eggrolls, and while they tasted good overall, I can't say that I tasted much oxtail. On my earlier visit, I had the curry chicken and honestly, I would have ordered one to eat there and one to go, that's how good I remember it being. We both had the rum punch, which is a 10/10 winner on a fruity drink. This location has plenty of parking as it's located in a strip, and we didn't have to wait to be seated, which is a blessing in Atlanta for Sunday brunch. We arrived a little before 1pm and were prepared for some wait time but we just beat the rush because a short while later the restaurant was full. Happy Eating! read more

A friend ordered takeout from here and recommended the oxtail egg rolls, so I decided to give them a try. I figured you can't go wrong with egg rolls. Unfortunately, I was wrong. Based on the reviews, I expected something flavorful, but these were bland and overly stuffed with cabbage, tasting more like basic vegetable egg rolls than anything else. The sauce helps a little, but even then, they left an odd aftertaste. 0/10 read more

Spice House !! Parking this trip was free maybe because it was during the day. I went another time at night parking was $20 for what I'm not sure. We went on a Sunday around 1:30pm places wasn't as packed no long wait. Staff at the front seem a bit lost on what they were doing. But we were seated. I had once again the chicken and waffles. I tend to always pick this it seems ℓℓ. My partner had the Steak and eggs. Which he stated were good. Men are so simple to please. As you can see in the photos/videos below my Waffles were soggy. Chicken was well seasoned I truly enjoyed. Ace punch is always a hit . Spice house layout is cute. Decor could upgrade but it's a nice spot I've been there about 3x. But this was my 1st time there for brunch I will return of course read more

Made reservations but still had to wait 30 mins. Didn't trip about that. Sat down (several open tables), the hostess told us we can't order the main food for 15 mins, just drinks and apps. Didn't trip about that. Ordered a seafood dip and drinks. 30 mins go by, we asked can we order food, they said not yet. She came back and took our order but said it's not being put in yet. Another 15 and we finally got the dip. Before we got the dip, we asked the waitress what comes in it, she said shrimp and crab meat. Got the dip, it was 3 big shrimp and that's it. She then said it comes with shrimp or shrimp and crab meat sometimes. At this point, we have been sitting for an hour and change and still no food. I asked for the check and left. They said it was a full house and that's why it was slow. No, I've been to this location twice before and it was way more packed and hectic with no open tables and never had a bad experience. Also, it was hot in that place. I was fanning myself with the paper menu. Overall, my mom ended up with bojangles for Mother's Day. Thanks. read more

Horrible!! Unprofessional and rude! Food is trash! They automatically add gratuity that's why the service is trash!

Went here for a "date night" w/ the hubby, or as he likes to say, not a date night, just went to get sumn to eat! Anyway, the food was ok. Since it was kinda late, I only got an appetizer which was the jerk eggrolls. They were ok..mos. def. NOT jerk at all! My husband got the oxtail eggrolls and curry chicken. They were both ok. Our waitress was very attentive! We will be back to enjoy the other items on the menu, but an earlier time. I forgot to add, that there is a 18% service charge auto. added to your check! WTH!!

DONT order the rasta pasta!!!!!! I ordered it and thinking it would be flavorful. WRONG!!!! I ordered it with jerk chicken as an add on. The worst I've ever had. It was actually pasta with a touch of Alfredo sauce? It then had a sweetness to it, the chicken was DRY but at least it had a jerk season . Then maybe it was a couple pieces of broccoli, maybe a couple pieces of bell peppers, I could have gone to Olive Garden, if they are islanders i can see the recipes didn't follow. Just tired of paying money for subpar food. Definitely overpriced chicken Alfredo!!!! If you want good rasta pasta go to Duckanoos on memorial drive I promise it won't disappoint amd its worth the money. It really deserves no stars. read more

This is my 2nd visit and I enjoyed myself so much the 1st time I decided to bring my fam from out of town here. We came the day after Valentine's Day so they still had love in the air and the Valentine menu availability which was a 3-course meal for $80. There was a lot of confusion with the menu and items being served ‍ One server told us the items that were available to order off the menu because we had no intentions on spending $80 for food from the day before ‍ Then a 2nd server came and told us the Valentine menu was the only thing available for the day This server went and told a few tables this misinformation so the ppl at the table behind us got up and left and guess what??? We were right behind them but then the 1st server chased us down walking out the door to ask us why we were leaving and we explained just for her to tell us that information was incorrect and to come back and sit down she would take our order At this point I'm wondering if we're being pranked Anyhoo we were able to order food and drinks enjoy the music and vibe! Ppl were smoking their hookahs and this story ended well check out my vid and until next time SYOY! read more

I went on yesterday May 30. I ordered the snapper meal and jerk chicken when the plate came back. The snapper was like so little small I stopped and asked the waitress.

Chicken, waffles and French toast are all good. Our waitress was really attentive. The punch...beware! Strong but good read more

The Spice House is located at 2617 Panola Road Lithonia, GA Suite 105 directly behind the Dairy Queen. Their Health Score is 93= A on July 29, 2023. Parking is horrific, because the restaurant is in a plaza with several other business. So get there early. Men be prepared to be patted down by security for weapons and Ladies be prepared to have your purses or bags searched upon entry. The Food is great and seasoned well. I was in a party of 25 people and we ordered a variety of different things on the menu from Seafood Lobster Mac and Cheese, Fried Green Tomatoes, Oxtail Egg rolls, Turkey Wings Dinner, Honey Lemon Pepper and Garlic and Herbs Wings. Everything was delicious. Getting seated was a challenge for a party our sized even though we made reservations, so be patient. We were only assigned one server and she did a great job but she could have definitely used some help. The Ambiance for me was extremely too loud. They have a live DJ and the music was great but too loud for me. I'd recommend this place for some good Jamaican Food. It was the Fried Green Tomatoes for me. read more

On my home from hair appt and starving! first time visiting this restaurant so let's get into it I don't know about anyone else but I am a service snob ! Good vibes and good customer service for me goes along way since this was my first time here I let my waitress know and she proceeded to give me the run down of the menu and I loved her positive friendly energy! ( shout out to Sierra) So the fried green tomatoes nice and crispy soft from the Center and the Rade sauce was sweet and spicy definitely a perfect combination. The pasta! if you don't like spice this is definitely got a little bit of kick to it for me just a little bit too much but still great flavor I did order a side of lamb chops and I have a slight complaint I'm going to put the photo but clearly one of the chops wasn't chopping. It look like a half of a chop lol .. but you know I'm not Trippin I'll say something and if they fix it great if they don't I'm not going to make a big deal about it. The flavor is great and chops are tender! My drink was great! Strong update on the lamb chop my waitress immediately addressed it took a picture and next thing I know there was a new chop coming out hot and fresh from the kitchen! Double down on great customer service Welp... all I can say is stop bar, great for groups, solo or date night. This Caribbean corner is definitely in my top 10 favorites! read more
