Spice Isle Restaurant and Catering
What people are saying
Rice and peas & oxtail are not really that good. Rice & peas were dry, tasteless and felt like it’s been sitting out, oxtails felt fatty and consisted of mostly bones and not good. Cabbage was tasteless and too soggy. Didn’t meet my expectations compared to the other Jamaican restaurants I’ve ate at. But plantains and bbq chicken was good! But upset because I asked for a lot of plantains and was only given 2.. not exactly sure why to that, hope you guys can pay attention in the future to modifications customers want to add. But I will not be ordering here again, and also for future customers.. do not recommend! There are better places. Whoever is in charge of cooking the rice & peas or Jamaican food here are putting the Jamaicans to shame.
Update: The quality of the meat has gone downhill. The flavor is great still but the last couple times, my chicken was too dry to eat and my husband’s goat was rubbery. Best Jamaican food in Harford county! Don’t even bother going to any of the other places. Good portions and great flavor.
WILL BE RETURNING. Had my 1st experience this evening and i must say that im very pleased. Customer service was grade A. Portions are great.Ordered large oxtail and large curry goat. Both are very tender and well seasoned. cabbage is wonderful as well as oxtail and rice and Plantains. I snuck a piece of my husband's goat and its awesome as well. Clean atmosphere.
New to the area and decided to give this place a try, even though there were zero customers at the time, perhaps due to Covid. Ordered my favorite (Jerk Chicken) which came with rice/beans, plantains, and cabbage. Service was fast (I was the only customer at the time) and portions were good. Got way more rice/beans than cabbage, and chicken pieces could have been meatier. Food was tasty, although I think I was served chicken that was cooked much earlier, perhaps the previous day, and reheated. It wasn't the best I've had but it wasn't the worse. I'll give them another try when they are busier. Perhaps the food will be more freshly made.
I will NOT be coming back. It does not even deserve the one star I had to give it. I got the Oxtail with White rice, plantains, cabbage & carrots and Potato Salad. Husband got Jerk Chicken, Yellow Rice & Cabbage and French Fries. The oxtail is so fatty, got 2 slices of a plantain and the potato salad was salty. Husband said the french fries were not cooked properly, burnt and under seasoned. The cabbage was salty. The Jerk chicken was dry. We do NOT recommend!
