I’m very unsatisfied. I’ve done delivery on 2 separate occasions and this time it was terrible. The cabbage isn’t cook at all. Literally taste like it was steamed for a couple minutes. I got the medium plate, it came with 3 oxtails. The large I got last time came with 5. They didn’t have any plantains last time but this time it came with 5 pieces, they aren’t even warm. Very tough and hard. My plate was basically lukewarm if anything.I don’t know if they micro manage their plates around make food last longer or what but it’s unacceptable. I paid almost 70 dollars on this and it’s unfortunately a disappointment.

My wife and I come here almost on a weekly basis. The customer service is great! The owner Leroy is very personable. I’ve never had a bad experience with the food in fact we frequently have to tell ourselves to stop eating to have leftovers.
My go to as a vegetarian is the veggie plater (rice and peas, cabbage, veggie stew and plantain).
My wife gets the freshly dropped catfish or oxtail with the same sides.
Not only is everything well seasoned and consistently fresh and good but even with a medium we have plenty for dinner!
I highly recommend visiting and trying out the variety of dishes.

If you love Jamaican food, then this is the place you want to eat at! I usually get the Rasta pasta, but I decided to try something new. Let me tell you, I’m so glad I tried the Jerk wings! They were so flavorful! The Mac n cheese was homemade and cook to perfection! The rice was good as well. I would recommend trying the Rasta pasta if you’re a pasta lover and the Jerk chicken if wings are your thing. The customer service was nothing less than amazing! 10/10 I would recommend! Can’t wait to visit again.

Today was my first time visiting Spice of Life, and I was very satisfied with my experience! I got the Jerk Chicken lunch special, which was reasonably priced, and a side of plantains. Everything was very flavorful, and it was a sizable portion for the price. I also tasted the coco bread which was heated up for us on ordering it, so it was hot and delicious. The environment was very chill, though a little warm inside at the time, and Leroy and the workers were kind and informative.
I plan to come back again.

This is the best Jamaican restaurant I’ve eaten at since Yehman’s closed by Green Acres. The curry chicken is chef’s kiss. This is my second visit in 1 week. The first pic is the lunch special. The second pic is the medium. Great portion sizes. I highly recommend.
