Rasta Pasta
Ashley T.

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Spice House Midtown. The service was excellent and our waiter was extremely attentive. The food was amazing. We ordered the oxtail dip and it was so flavorful. I ordered the Rasta Pasta with blackened salmon. The portion was huge and I left with plenty of leftovers. The restaurant had a live band and the music filled up the room.

Plantains chicken and waffles

I went for brunch and really enjoyed the the food and ambience. I had the plantain chicken and waffles which were delicious and my table got the mimosa bottle which includes champagne bottle for the table and juice. Recommend to order this for group of 2-4. I would say some of their seating has a great amount of wear and tear into the booth sections. I had to put a napkin down on the seat so the ripped leather didn't irritate my legs

Spice house's interior has seen better days. But is the food still delicious, yes. I went for happy hour so I ordered rum punch, wings, oxtail egg rolls and margaritas. The drinks I wouldn't come back for but the food I would. Scanning a QR code for the menu always takes service down a notch for me. But that is the set up here. My waiter barely came to my table but I think the floor was understaffed. I do like when the QR code shows you a running bill and lets you pay. That is a great feature. Maybe Spice House can add that along with free/validates parking. $10 is not a large amount to play for parking but $0 is better. I won't be back for a dine in experience. Maybe take out is the way to go.

I am someone who gives a great deal of grace, especially to those working in hospitality, because I understand the stress of dealing with multiple personalities and high-pressure environments. Unfortunately, this experience was extremely disappointing. I visited from Texas and came with a friend who is local. We ordered three crab clusters each at the same time. My friend received her order correctly, while I was initially brought only one crab leg. When I explained that this was not my order, the server simply walked away without addressing the issue. I later flagged down my waitress, who assured me she would personally bring the correct order. After quite some time passed, she returned asking how my food was, despite never having brought it. Eventually, I received only two clusters instead of the three ordered. When I pointed this out, the waitress attempted to convince me that the two clusters on the plate were actually three, then she left and came back with a manager who clearly acknowledged that there were only two clusters served. After finally receiving the third cluster, I was told there were no utensils available to crack the crab legs. Unless you have very strong hands, I would not recommend ordering them. To make matters worse, our waitress disappeared for long stretches of time. We repeatedly had to ask other staff members for a to-go box and our check, both of which took an excessive amount of time to receive. When the waitress finally returned with the bill, she had the audacity to ask how the meal was. What stood out most was that the guests seated on both sides of us were also visibly frustrated and discussing the poor service they had experienced. An 18% gratuity was automatically added to the bill, and many of us came to the same conclusion: because the tip is guaranteed, the quality of service is none existent.

If you're looking for a hotspot here in Atlanta, make sure you visit the Spice House in Midtown. This spot was a recommendation for me to visit and do a review. When pulling up to the venue, I noticed that they have plenty of parking which is valet, so please keep that in mind it is $10. This venue is a smaller, so I highly recommend that you make a reservation whether it be brunch, lunch or dinner. The menu has a wide selection of food items also including vegetarian options to choose from during your experience. If you're looking for an amazing server, make sure you ask for Terry. They have great customer service along with recommending some great food selections, especially being a first time visitor at the venue. If you love hookah this is definitely the spot you should visit. The food was amazing. It was finger, licking good. There is a great drink selection for persons who like to indulge. I would recommend the rum punch, it will knock your socks off. The bathrooms were very clean and spacious. They also have live music on Saturday nights. I would definitely suggest that you come around 8 o'clock and make a reservation cause it will be a full house. Lastly, I was very impressed that the owner of the business was very involved with his staff in making sure that all guest were enjoying their experience / making sure the food came out on time. I will definitely be revisiting this location anytime any day. Thank you for an amazing evening.

Oxtail Dinner
Dee R.

This was my first time at this location. Sooo good! As a caribbean gal, I'm definitely picky! But they checked off all the boxes! The oxtail plate was sooo good! The meat portion could have been a tad more, but the taste and spice level was there! Service was a1 ! Drinks amazing! Definitely will return!

Oxtail Dinner- YES THIS IS HIW THE PLATE WAS PLACED ON THE TABLE!

This past Saturday a friend came to town and wanted to check this spot out. I called before driving to midtown to ask if we needed reservations and to determine if they had a dedicated parking lot. I was advised that we could just walk in if we were planning to dine within the next. 30 min or so. That would be around 5pm on a Saturday. Regarding parking - I was told there is a desiccated parking lot. It is valet parking for $10. When we pulled up it was clear that the valet parking was NOT really valet parking . Don't expect your door to be opened, your car to be parked for you, or it to be dropped off to you upon your departure! Honestly they should just ditch the "valet" and say that there is a charge of $10 to park. When we walked in we were greeted by a nice sign and a host stand. We were immediately seated at a table near the restrooms. There were plenty of staff working, yet there was a delay in an initial greeting by our wait staff. After about 10-15 minutes a wait staff did finally ask if anyone had assisted us. We told her no. At this point our wait staff decide to speak up and say yes it's my table! Once our wait staff finally came over she took our drink orders. When she returned with the drinks we placed our food order. I opted to go with the turkey wing plate and my friend ordered the oxtails. In addition to the entrees we ordered a side of plantains and coco bread. The food came out fast! Honestly I feel like most of this food is cooked ahead of time and there is no reason to delay bringing it out- so I am ok with the food coming out quickly. After we blessed the food we dug in! The coco bread was nothing special. Honestly it tasted like regular white bread to me. From past dinning experienced the coco bread here is not the correct texture or taste. Maybe there are different types of coco bread??! The turkey wing had great flavor but were tough and not fall off the bone tender. I took them home and cooked them in the oven to have that fall off bone experience. I enjoyed the taste of the rice that accompanied my meal as well as the plantains. My friend said the food had a good taste, but the oxtail were too small for the price of the meal. I will say that I think they should take more pride in presentation. The oxtail plate has gravy dripping down the side of the plate when it was placed on the table. (See picture attached). Overall, the service ended up being decent, it's a low key vibe and the food is ok. Will I go out of my way to return- no. It was not a memorable experience.

I came here spontaneously because I saw a post on IG. It was after brunch so the dj was wrapping up. I was warmly greeted and offered a table or seat at the bar, I opted for a seat at the bar. The music selection was cool. I was dancing in my seat the entire time. My server was Nelly B and she let me know that it would take a while for my food order since they were switching over to dinner, so I ordered the Jerk chicken egg rolls and a lemon drop. My egg rolls were ok but my drink was really good! My meal eventually arrived, I ordered the pineapple chicken rice. It arrived in a carved out pineapple, which was really cool. On a scale of 1 through 5, I would give it a 3.5. Overall, I will definitely return for their live band and maybe another item on their menu.

Parking: There is a lot in front of the business with a valet, but it is self-parking for a $10 fee. Street parking is free, but the attendant let me know he frequently sees break-ins, so i opted to park in the lot. The overall aesthetic of the restaurant was fine. There was light music in the background and it presented as a casual place! Plenty of people at the bar, enough space for a graduation party, and a nice, enclosed patio area that I'd like to sit on next time! Drinks: I had whatever form of tropical mimosa they had. It took a while to reach our table, but it was good! Food: I had the curry goat and my friend had the coconut curry shrimp dish. Portions were good, presentation was good, and the food was served fresh and hot. Service: This is where they lost me at. Initially, our server was very kind and attentive, however, after she took our food orders she was almost impossible to track down. We were trying to identify her to flag her down for napkins, but she didn't even look our way as she dropped napkins off on the table directly next to us that was so close I could tap the next patron's shoulder. When it was time to pay, we had to flag down the manager who then was having trouble using the POS system and unable to find our waitress which further prolonged our stay at the restaurant. When we finally did get the bill, it had an automatic gratuity which we were told is mandatory. Automatic gratuity makes sense so everyone makes their money, but is not a free-pass to not give service to your tables and disappear. Not sure if she went on break or not, but future-state, i would recommend getting someone else to cover the tables you're responsible for. If I came back, it would be for take-out.

The vibe is great here! I will absolutely give them that. Was greeted by the waiter not too shortly after I was seated and was able to order the Oxtail Dip and Pineapple Paradise. The appetizer was fantastic. Those chips were the best I've ever had. Extremely crunchy and tasted good all by themselves too! The dip was very rich and cheesy & the oxtail fell off the bone. My Pineapple Paradise drink supposedly had tequila in it, but it just tasted like a good juice. I had asked if there was actually liquor and I was told it sneaks up on you, but there was no sneaking after I had finished the whole thing lol. Now the downside of this visit is the fact that it took 45 minutes before the waiter came back to my table to take my order for an entrée. It seemed he was more interested chatting with the table that smelled like a dispensary when they walked in and dancing around the restaurant, not even glancing at my table. It was unacceptable and by the time my food came, I had about three bites and was ready to skidaddle. The Rasta Pasta w/ Oxtail was very good from what I had, but doesn't heat up well at all the next day! First time having Coco Bread as well & it was great.

Made a reservation for Saturday brunch and were able to get seated right away. It was very lively and the music was coming from the DJ in the room, but it was pretty loud and hard to hear each other. We ordered the Jerk Chicken eggroll which was good and the Shrimp and Grits which was great. I declined the valet only parking and parked down the road for much much cheaper.

Oxtail Mac n cheese Montego Bay Jerk Chicken Side rice n peas Side cabbage

Got take out and it was super good. Not a huge fan of the cabbage but that's just a personal preference. Would be back for the oxtail mac for sure.

I went to Spice House in Midtown with some friends on a Monday around 6:30 and the restaurant was pretty empty, which was nice. Our server Diamond did an excellent job explaining the menu and giving details on certain items. The food came out hot and quick. I ordered the oxtail egg rolls and this was the first time I had them presented with whole pieces of oxtail on top. It was such a nice touch and of course they were delicious. The sauce that came with it was perfect. I also tried their happy hour specials. The tropical long island was so good, I could not tell you what is in it but it hit the spot. I ordered the five piece lemon pepper wings and they were fried to perfection. Fried hard and exactly how I like them. I tried some of the oxtail fried rice which came with oxtail on the side and some fries too. This is hands down my favorite Spice House location. The food is always good every time I come. On certain nights they have live music or DJs which adds to the vibe. One thing to note is there was no valet charge this past Monday and I appreciated that.

Unfortunately, the night derailed once we moved upstairs to the gallery. Ironically, on past visits I had far better service just hanging out casually before sections were enforced. This time, I paid for a premium bottle of champagne to officially secure a section. No time limit was ever communicated. Yet around 12:16 am after we bought another round of cocktails, our server, Mia, and the hostesses individually approached us asking if we could vacate because our table was needed for another party. When we exited the gallery, we addressed this downstairs with managers King and Niyah, both agreed our spend entitled us to the section all night and admitted the gallery staff was in the wrong. However, no immediate resolution was offered, forcing us to cut our night short and leave behind an unfinished round of cocktails. I later reached out to Niyah but have received no response. Go for the food and ambiance, but avoid buying a section in their gallery as you might risk your night almost being ruined.
