Spice House Restaurant & Lounge - Lithonia, Georgia

The pictures online were slightly deceiving. I thought this was an upscale type place because of the pics and the prices but the place was dirty (crumbs on a lot of the tables that were cleared already and gloves and rags on one table), they already ran out of food after 1.5 hrs of opening due to a party from the previous night (so we were told), and the food is way over priced for something I wouldn't return for.
The oxtail eggrolls were good, but there was barely any meat in it. They cut the eggrolls in half, and I had 1 eggroll with meat on one side only.
I ordered the snapper and grits. The "snapper" was very salty and I dont think it was snapper. Usually snapper has some red lines in it from the skin but i didn't see any of that.
I also didn't like that during brunch you can only order from the brunch menu because that menu was sparse, and I almost didn't order anything.
However, the presentation was nice. The server did her best with the crowd that was there.

I came on a week day at about 1:00pm and the service was incredibly slow and the food was not worth the wait. If you want something authentic, this is not the place. It’s also 18% service charge (adding their own tip) plus a $5 charge just to MAKE a hookah. Mind you, there was no notice in advance. That’s over $20 the amount i actual spent in unnecessary fees. And then have the audacity to have additional tip suggestions. That is absurd

Spice House is a more upscale Caribbean restaurant. its not a hole in the wall. The ambiance is good and the service somewhat reflects.The prices do reflect as well. However they do an excellent job as far as flavor. I have been this location numerous times. The food Never disappoints. The service is so so.

Update: i done been back 5 times for the creole turkey wing plate. i dont even like turkey like that, but its my favorite thing on the menu.

First off sorry for my late picture, because the food looked so good I forgot to take pictures before digging in. But with that being said this was my very first visit here. The greeting was so sweet and calm. I was able to pick my comfy seating. And it was a perfect spot. The atmosphere for treating myself to dinner, was very satisfying. The vibe with the neo soul/Caribbean music was a great selection. Now on to my server Fatima was also my host to seat me. When serving me , I let her know I was new to this place. She made sure to give me her favorite appetizers, entrees, and desserts along with great cocktails that compliments the dishes. She was very helpful and pleasant. She made sure to bring out quality dishes. While keeping a clean environment and helping others. Overall the cleanliness was a 10/10 I constantly seen employees cleaning the floors and keeping areas free of debris and trash. I would say the cleanliness make the restaurant even more beautiful. I would definitely be back and. Enjoy other events they have as well coming back to be service by my favorite Fatima. Thanks so much Spice House for making my experience very memorable and nice and peaceful. This place is 5mins from my home a perfect hideaway for self care dinner for me and great drinks oh the rum punch is a definitely smash hit. So no matter the other possible negative views try it out for yourself because I did see those views before arriving and it was not at all how it was told here. For myself i absolutely love this place and service Thanks Fatima for your patience during my visit and helping me with the perfect dishes to try. You definitely are the best and I enjoyed you ill be back to see you Queen
-Love Alchemy❤️❤️❤️❤️

The food was good the atmosphere is also good. Without going into a long exploration we had a problem and was told there wasn't a manager on duty. As a team they decided our bill couldn't be adjusted I'm sure how that works especially with the mistake they made. Occasionally me and my wife would go here and when family comes in town we would take them here. But after today we definitely won't be giving them our business any more. It's conveniently located for us too.

The absolute worst! If I could give it 1 star I would. I ordered the lamb chops, with a side of shrimp, mash & cabbage. I never received the shrimp. The lamb was cooked above well done when I ordered it medium rare. The food was completely not edible. Mind you this was ordered via door dash, so I spent over $80 for this meal that I was not able to eat! I am very upset, disturbed & feel as if this business need to take a lesson from others who are more established. Don’t overcharge and under deliver smh!

I will start by saying that I use to like spice house. Visited last night after a year and it was a horrible experience. $22 for 10 piece jerk wings that had no flavor and were overcooked (no fries included). My friend ordered some sort of salmon shrimp rice. It was $30 and barely had any shrimp or salmon in it. After complaining, the waitress came back and said “the chef and I looked through it and there were some pieces of salmon but he said he can add some shrimp”. So you and the chef dug through the rice in the kitchen then returned it to us to eat? Just seems extremely unprofessional. We returned it and didn’t not pay for it. Will never go there again. Went to the cigar bar next door and regret not going there in the first place. It was a much better experience.

I can't speak to the dine-in experience. I ordered takeout. Can't really speak to the atmosphere since I was only in there long enough to have my food handed to me. I was greeted and tended to pretty much right away. Was not busy (Monday)

Anyway,
I ordered the oxtail dinner:
double white rice, cabbage and sweet plantains. $49.06

I immediately suspected that these are the frozen, boxed grocery store Goya plantains. I feel some typa way about that even tho i enjoyed them.

The rice has a strong taste of freezer burn. Drowning it in the oxtail gravy probably would've made it unnoticeable, but I'm not someone who cares much for sauces on my rice, so i trashed it.

The cabbage is seasoned very differently from any other Caribbean restaurant/cook I've had before and I dig it a lot.

The oxtail was plentiful and well seasoned, though a bit tough, which I suspect is from overcooking. Something else about it that I can't articulate makes me think it wasn't fresh either. I wondered if it was made a day or so ago and reheated, which could explain my suspicion about being tough from overcooking.

4/10

If you were also disappointed, I HIGHLY recommend Chef Rob's joint at
