Stopped by this place while visiting central Savannah for some business. And Boy am I glad I stopped by! This is a really high-quality, hole in the wall, Authentic Caribbean Spot. This is definitely a takeout spot, with two table tops and a small waiting area and front counter. However, this small place packs a big punch! They have a pretty extensive menu, which includes of variety of both jerk and Curry options as well as oxtails. They also have patties and several desserts. I ended up ordering the combo curry goat and oxtail platter with rice and peas, plantains and then a beef Patty and a slice of Red Velvet cake. I thought the food was really well done, well, seasoned, and excellent in terms of quality and quality. The patties were equally authentic and had the adequate amount of meat filling you would want. The only criticism was the red velvet, which I didn't think was legitimate Red Velvet, but rather red cake mix with a cream cheese icing. That being said, it wasn't bad, it just wasn't authentic Red Velvet. Service was also prompt and helpful with no more than a 7 to 8 minute weight from start to finish. Overall, I would definitely rate this as one of the better restaurants I have had a chance to enjoy in Savannah so far. Looking forward to another visit! read more

The service was the sweetest part of my experience. The women were so kind and accurate, I felt bad when the food didn't match their service. This was my first time trying Sweet Spice and the pickings of Caribbean food is already slim so I thought I wisely chose best. The plantains are what brings me in and everything else is just a sweet addition. The plantains were so old they weren't edible and that right there ruined it for me. Oh, the beef patties weren't edible either. The jerk chicken was okay but the cabbage and rice & peas was hard to remember ESPECIALLY since I couldn't eat it the way I wanted to. At least I got to give them a try though, maybe I just came on a bad day. read more

Front of the Menu. Prices have gone up. I do believe I've seen the Coco Bread priced at $2.00 & the patties at $2.99 or $2.50. The food I hear is good. We've had the patties. Tasty, we can say as much. Very busy establishment. Everyone is coming through this place. They must never be without a line. To go orders are on HIGH UP IN THIS PLACE! And this is only my second time here. Hmmmm. At least this year. I do believe that when this building opened way back when for business, my family and I came. But, this year and last week and today is fair to say TOTALLY New Beginnings. Enjoy the food. Over and Out FranknKimm March 4th, 2025 - Tuesday Evening read more

Sweet Spice - Caribbean Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

You're warmly greeted upon entry! It's a small storefront restaurant with a few tables and chairs, giving it a cozy, casual vibe. You order at the counter , pay and wait for your food rather done in or carry out. I've tried quite a few dishes here--the brown stew chicken with cabbage and mac and cheese, the curry goat, and the oxtail with rice and peas--and everything has been delicious! The chicken and goat are flavorful and well-seasoned, the oxtail is tender, and the sides are cooked perfectly. I also love that they offer Tings and the pineapple ginger juice--a great touch for drinks! Everything tastes fresh and made with care. I'll definitely be returning!!! read more

Great authentic food and good size portions. Prices are reasonable people are friendly

Ordered the Curry Goat, rice and peas and cabbage for dinner. Hubby ordered the Oxtails, rice and peas and plantains. I'm very picky about ordering goat as it just has to be cooked right and not everyone can cook it. I started in on my plate, ate a lil piece. Got another and tasted it and I was on my way. Goat was cooked nice and tender, curried with the right amount of spices, not too hot. The rice and peas what cooked perfect as well, not to hard not to soft. The greens were good. I looked over at hubby and he was working over his Oxtails as well. Definitely will be back and definitely recommend you give them a try. You can see the before and after pictures of my plate. Speaks for itself. read more

Amazing for vegans! Many other Caribbean places in this area do not serve Tofu or Soy Chunks for vegans/vegetarians. Sweet Spice offers Brown Stew or Curry Tofu plates as well as Spinach patties. All are delicious. I'd recommend ordering ahead at night because it is such a small restaurant. More of a takeout spot. read more

Was looking for something different to eat for Dinner one night and stumbled across Sweet Spice. I have been to Jamaica before on a cruise and had liked the food so I figured I'd give it a shot. And boy am I SO glad I did. I got a large Jerk Chicken plate with Rice and Peas and Plantains. The first thing I noticed is that they weren't shy with their portion sizes which is always a big plus! With one bite of the rice and peas I was hooked. It was unbelievable good, and of course the chicken and plantains were just as good! Chicken was juicy, tender, seasoned amazingly! The rice and peas were the best rice and peas I've ever had in my life! Plantains were scrumptious! Very big fan! If you're looking for something new to try this is the place! Enjoy your meal, and like always. You're welcome! read more

It was my husband's day off and he felt like some Jerk Chicken, so we decided to go to Sweet Spice (SS) on our lunch date while the kiddos were in school. I had tried one of their beef patties at the Food Truck Festival last year, which was good, but I didn't get a true sense of their food, so this time, I was super excited to try a variety of their items. - Parking - Center lot. It's located in the same strip of businesses as Savannah Filipino Authentic Cuisine and the old location for Joe's Homemade. SS sits on the corner, right by Waters Avenue. - Vibe - A small, modest Mom and Pop shop with a handful of tables. Every inch of space is used there. There are a row of about 3 tables on either side and people line up in the middle. You go straight up to the counter in the back, order and pay and then take a seat or take it to go. Just stay straight and move forward, do a pivot after you order and sit down or move on out! - TLC - There was a middle aged lady working when we arrived just before a rush and she was all smiles and so sweet and genuine. She was packing the food and another lady was at the cash. They both moved the line along quickly. - Eats / Refreshments - Small Jerk Chicken with Rice & Peas and Mac & Cheese - My husband ordered this obviously, since that was why we went there in the first place and SS did not let us down! Jerk was actually super moist and more stewed then grilled/baked which I am used to the latter method, which sometimes tends be dry. The Mac was fab too! Elbow macaroni with ooey gooey cheesy-ness. The Rice and Peas! Mmm, I could just eat that with anything. So simple, but so good! Sweet Spice Sampler - I ordered this one of course, so I could try as many things as I could and I wish the Sampler plate just included a scoop of EVERYTHING, but alas, I had to narrow it down to 3 so I picked Oxtail (my fave), Brown Stew Chicken which the lady in front of me suggested and Curry Chicken with Rice & Peas and Sweet Plantains. HOLY MOLY. My container felt like it was 5 lbs. It was so heavy! I could have probably done a workout lifting that. So where do I begin? Oxtail was delicious with whatever brown sauce they cooked it in. The Curry Chicken had a good strong, curry taste, not watered down. And the best surprise was the Brown Stew Chicken! I've never had it before, but it had a slight bit of sweetness to it and it was almost as if it had been battered lightly in something and then stewed so the sauce had this nice thickness to it. Thank you, Stranger Lady for the recommendation! The Sweet Plantains were perfection and again, those Rice & Peas that sits underneath all these saucy meats is even better because it soaks up all the sauce! So good! So, again, they are generous with their portions and for the price, it's a great deal! My husband and I both ate what we could and then we ended up consolidating our boxes and we left with his container full of food! - Kiddos - No kiddos on this visit, but they would have torn it up! I did notice that they had 2 options for the kiddos on the menu and only $4.99. Sweet deal! Definitely want to go back and take them with us! - Heads Up - It gets pretty tight in there with all the patrons, so if you have personal space issues, I suggest you take it to go. Generous portions, great price, friendly service and more importantly, food that makes you quiet. No time for talking when stuff is this good. Note to self for future: We could probably share a Large plate or Sampler plate next time and add something else like the patties or another app. Also, I want to try the Coconut cake, because they didn't have any in stock on our visit. read more

I was excited to come here and taste the food and ended up asking for a full refund because of the horrible service. Their menu is worded completely incorrect and still did nothing to try and correct their own error. They did decide to give an attitude for their poor grammar skills though ! Would never recommend! read more

Good food . Nice service. Good mood and smell from environment . Oh and that pineapple ginger is awesome

I've only ordered to go from this restaurant but each time the plates have been full and I always end up with leftovers. The oxtails are tender and savory, the jerk chicken is DELICIOUS and the mac and cheese is devine! They always put gravy/sauce over the rice and peas which makes it taste so good! We always call ahead and our food is ready when we come to pick up. The restaurant is always clean and the staff are welcoming. I have a toddler who is a picky eater and she LOVES this restaurant. Definitely give this restaurant a try! read more

Ok so everyone was raving of this spot ! It was good! The only reason they are getting a 4 instead of a 5 is a couple of reasons which Honestly to some may be a deal breaker but for others not that bad. 1- oxtail had a taste of curry in it and taste more middle eastern than Jamaican. It could be who cooked it that day or maybe I should have just gotten rice and peas instead of white rice. 2- beef patty wasn't hot. Though flavorful could have been hotter than it was. 3- the brown stew snapper with cabbage and rice and peas was on point !!! Only thing missing was a little more brown stew sauce from the fish. The rice and peas was excellent like somebody momma ah cook it! The fish fried like true yardee style (hard) but was flavorful and tasty. The cabbage was even on point and plantain ripe and nice!! Definitely will go back!!! 8 out 10. read more
