“ I was super happy to get my breadfruit roasted on the spot, what an excellent customer service I received last Friday! The store is clean and they also have cooked food ready to go! I recommend this to my friends and family. ”

“ I love the restaurant's ambience. It has a Caribbean/Jamaica/Raggae team. It is beautiful and decorated with informative pictures of black history. It was clean and quiet when I visited. I made a TGTG order and came to pick it up. I met a man who welcomed me warmly. It took a few minutes to get my food, but it arrived fresh, hot, and tasty. I must commend them on the quantity of the food (rice and peas) and the amount of the chicken for a TGTG order! The restaurant is accessible. ”

“ I really enjoy the food from Spice Is Rite. I’ve been here 3 times in the last 7 days, and I have yet to be disappointed. The 1st visit I came in 15 mins before close, the 2nd time at dinner around 5 and the 3rd at 3pm… each time the food quality was great and they definitely live up to their name cause the spice is always rite!!! Not to mention the food is always super hot & fresh when I get it. I always get the jerk chicken with rice n peas, curry gravy and steamed veggies, it’s safe to say my craving is officially satisfied :) ”

“ whole place is a vibe. everything tastes like a home cooked meal. We discovered this place on Too Good To Go and are impressed enough to come back even without the app. Service was a bit curt but it wasn't rude or needlessly slow. ”

“ Got the lunch special. Was way smaller than a normal portion. Food tasted good, but felt hungry after still. ”
