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

Spice House Lithonia - Caribbean Near Me - Lithonia, Georgia

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

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

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 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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. Was this a small order never seen a snapper that small and I go to a lot of Caribbean restaurants and this is what I order red snapper second IS the Bar Tnder how much will a drink be she's just $25 for margarita at that location Lithonia. I said that was way too much and third of all they had a problem with Nance flying all over the food and they did nothing take it back. They gave me a to go Tray and the waitress kept apologizing about the Nance. I will never ever go back that again.. this used to be one of my favorite restaurants when I tell you this place has went down. read more

Friend brought me here. Hated it. I tried but they just kept messing up. music was koo. DJ was a vibe... but the waitresses took 4ever to come to the table. Took 4ever for water. Took 4ever to bring forks n napkins to eat with. Then... the food wasnt even good. My fish was decent, but they coulda kept the rest of that. 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

Disappointing Father's Day Experience - Avoid for Special OccasionsI am incredibly disappointed with the service here. I brought my husband for Father's Day, and it was our very first time visiting. The entire experience was honestly depressing. There was zero welcoming energy from the staff. We received no greeting upon walking in. Even after explicitly telling our server it was our first time, she failed to introduce the menu or offer any guidance. After she dropped off our food, she completely disappeared. She only returned to the table at the very end to collect the bill and tip.Ironically, the nicest person in the entire building was the security guard outside. The actual restaurant servers were not customer-friendly at all.I definitely would not recommend or suggest this restaurant if you are planning a date night or celebrating something special. We will not be back.If you want to adjust this, let me know:If you want to include the specific date or time of your visit.If you want to mention how the actual food tasted.If you need a private email version to send directly to management instead.I can help you rewrite it to match whatever platform you are posting on! 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

I ate here last night or the black rice and I ordered lots of pasta and shrimp, unfortunately, I was overcharged for my food and received the wrong food when I did get my food, the black rice.... and let me mention..... I have got this one time before bout a year ago and it was amazing however, last night... It was so nasty. I could not even eat it. The rice was smelled funky and mushy. The vegetables were not fresh. I could barely chew through the broccoli. The bartender Took my order, put it in wrong and in trying to fix it I was overcharged! Pretty disappointed because I send so many people There on this side of town For food and a cool vibe. But when I walked in last night, the people in the front were rude and offputtin nobody even spoke. The food was so bad. did a little research to find what their score was, it's 81 however it has been 49 and it has been 62 smh... I see they're quick to respond to good comments, but not even an apology on the bad reviews. That's the same kind of service you get inside too! read more

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

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

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.

Where do I start?! The service is unbearably slow. The food tastes like it was introduced to seasoning but never committed. Entrées arrive before appetizers, which really sets the tone for the chaos.

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

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!!

Food, service, price and atmosphere were very good. I enjoyed my visit there and would definitely go back.

Never have items on menu service is bad and never on time management sits around and the roaches!!!

I been coming to this location for a little over a year. I'm not sure what's happened but the service has gone down tremendously. My server was Dasia and after we got our oxtail eggrolls they were cold and not crispy at all. We told her and she proceeded to help other people. So I told the manager since she didn't make it known what she was going to do. The manager helped me out and told me to let her know if we have any other problems. The new eggrolls came out and were much better. Afterwards , I tried to order some turkey wings and told Dasia. She never placed the order and then gave us our checks without a word. I gladly paid and left . Something tells me if you mess up eggrolls then the wings would be just as worse. So I won't be coming back here. Also the gratuity was included in my check. read more

Security was seating people as there wasn't a hostess which is required for any restaurant. That should've been a red flag however we still decided to give it a try. After being seated and having waited for 10 minutes a waitress walked past and asked have we been helped which we had not. She took orders and went on her way. The pinacolada frozen drink was disgusting and tasty like it had melted and then was refrozen. I told the waitress that it tasted sour but I still had to pay for it. We ordered different drinks and appetizers which we ok. While we were enjoying the live band the waitress came over and said she was leaving at 11:40pm so she needed to close out our tab but would bring our new waitress over. Needless to say that never happened. We paid the tab and she disappeared. We stopped another waitress and was told that she put my drink order in but she never did. So after the frustration we stopped the bus boy cleaning the tables and he at least gave us to go containers. 0 out of 10 do not recommend read more

The food was acceptable but the overall accoutrements were severely lacking. We asked for a fork to use while eating egg roll and sauce. After waiting 10 minutes and using our fingers; we asked a 2nd time and eventually the flatware was provided. Similarly, we asked for seafood crackers to manage the crab clusters and were told they didn't have any to provide. My profound disappointment is that a $40+ evening left me wondering why our community falls short on basic culinary rules. Please do better.
