Jamaican Spice in Oxford

The taste is not bad but the service and his face expressions make me scared. He is not patient and shouted to me. I was very surprised. I have never found that kind of behavior.

The food was terrible, worst Caribbean food I’ve ever tasted

The food didn’t taste nice at all to be honest. The dumpling was tough. The cheesy beef patty just wasn’t nice it was very greasy and the cheese had a weird taste.

Food was horrible, l would like a refund please.

food was nice but bone on every piece of meat

Best goat curry I’ve had in a long time I will give it 10 out of 10

Amazing all round filled me up all day

I requested cutlery & tissues on my order notes and it wasn’t there & this is happening every time. And the food wasn’t covered properly sauce was all over the pack.

Despite the timely delivery, the food arrived cold which impacted negatively on the dining experience!!!! I will not be ordering from here again!!!!

Large curry goat meal was very well made. Portion was large and price is good for what you get. Would eat again.

The absolute WORST meal I’ve ever had the misfortune of eating. Everything was stale, rubbery, rock solid and tasted like it had been made days before and reheated. Please tell me who puts BURNT onion rings and old boiled potatoes on top of a peppered steak as a replacement for coleslaw?! Embarrassing. Ordered three meals and they all ended up in the bin. Delivery time was good but would have preferred it wasn’t delivered at all 👍🏼 0/10 would not recommend

The taste was there in the sauce but bones had to many splinters and far too small so rather messy eating. Definitely sadly a cross ❌ on ordering again

This gonna be in my top ranking hidden gem list for this year. Tried their takeaway out of curiosity, got curry goat meal for me and the classic jerk chicken for my boyfriend. The kicking smoky flavor of chicken and incredible fall-off-bone lamb chunk has successfully won me as a forever customer! Meal comes with gravy cooked rice and kidney bean, so well flavored I can eat them alone. Watch out the portion, even a “medium” meal can feed the entire family😁

First time ever ordering from hear. The service was amazing and the chicken was seasoned perfectly

Food is fresh tasty and huge portions. Really authentic flavours. Love this place.

Food and delivery was amazing. Packaging however was not, unsure if the shop or the driver but the food had come loose and there was chicken everywhere. I wouldn't have cared too much if it hadn't then fell out the bag when i was trying to sort it out. Sauce everywhere and had to spend 5 mins cleaning sauce off my can of Ting, very sticky situation

Where is my food as I didn’t receive it

Food was delicious.We will definitely be back..

Fast delivery time, really great quality food. Strongly recommend by friends. Must try any of the chicken mains

Not edible! The plantain looks a week old and more like doner kebab! Being pregnant I can not eat this food absolutely p*ssed off

Been here long time and supplying the best products 🤫 🍗

I went for Chicken and Rice, the guy who served me, went out the back and sorted it, he came back, asked if I'd like Coleslaw? I replied "yes please" he then came back with it boxed, and asked for £12. The choice was Small £8 Medium £ 10 and Large £12. I wanted a £8 Deal... At no point did he even ask me what Deal I wanted. To be fair, when I got home 4 minutes later and I opened the box, the portion was large, but the chicken was, at best warm on the outside, and cold in the centre, it was pre cooked, as was the Rice & Peas, First and last time for me.

The food taste off and very old. It just seems re-heated and delivered. Would not order again from this place

Not been here for a few years and it's as good as I remember. Bristol boy working away

The food wasn’t the best I’ve ever had but the Delivery driver read the notes and found me without any bother. Friendly chap doing a good job 👍

I’ve ordered jerk chicken to take away large ones paid £12 and the chicken smell so disgusting..smells so disgusting..hope I’ll not get disease..they need to shut down..for god sake 🥲

Great food and good value as always. Really lovely jerk chicken and generous portions. Soup was great too.

Order was missing items, (fried frish and coleslaw sides) patty was dry, remaining food was hot, lots of bones in brown stew chicken but tasty. Wouldn't say I'd never order from here again but there's other places I'd go to first.

Great food, great portions very reasonably priced!

I loved the portion. The taste was ok. However, there were a lot of bones in my meal. I eventually got tired because I kept biting into bones.

I was missing parts of my order and am now £6 out of pocket (macaroni x2) because no attempt to re deliver 😔!

Absolutely terrible. Food come cold. Driver was late. Poorly wrapped up. No attempt to keep food warm

Lovely,flavourful food.throughly enjoyed our meal.

The curried goat is absolutely delicious! A real taste of Jamaica.

Jerk chicken with rice was delicious! The staff was friendly and helpful. My large plate was 11.5, Definitely recommend!

Poor taste, poor presentation, food not as described.

Update your opening times!. Twice I’ve attempted to buy from here and both times on different days. Today 18:59 28/3/23 - CLOSED

Lovely food very generous portions

Great food, quick delivery, good portion sizes

More bones than meat dumplings Rock hard where they have been warmed up very poor won’t order from there again

Boss man speak in da accent, sometimes you can't understand it. Overall very nice, good food and nice service.

Very generous portion and arrived quickly. The curried goat was delicious, thank you. My first time ordering and will return. Wishing you a successful 2023!

There was so much bone and the food was dry. My tooth nearly come out with the amount of times I was eating the chicken. And sweetcorn in the Mac and cheese??

Curry goat was mostly fat and bones. Forgot the coleslaw and one of the cans of drink. Dissapointed

the whole order was very disapppointing. I ordered hard food, got rice. Chickien was dry and tasteless, rice was appalling, mac and cheese was really salty and barely any cheese. The curried goat looked like it had been coooked for days.

Absolutely delicious, very filling and great value - everywhere needs places like this. I've been coming here regularly for several years now. Different dishes Tuesday to Sunday means waiting for your favourite and it tasting even better. Jerk Pork on Friday is my top choice but they are all good; try Wayne's Baked chicken on a cold Wednesday night.

He could do with using less salt. I also wish he hadn't started putting sugar in the dumplings as they are no longer authentic fried dumplings but now bakes as made by other Caribbean islands. However the decor is authentic and there is always quite a selection to choose from. Parking isn't usually a problem and unlike a lot of cook shops you can pay by card (50p) charge.

Goat curry is the best. Give it a try!

Good quality and great portion sizes. Curry goat is 10/10

Artikal don food (VERY good all round service, food etc) will definitely order again.

Friendly atmosphere and excellent food. Just like my mom's.

This used to be the best Jamaican restaurant in oxford I don’t know what happened ,I won’t be ordering again !! I can cook better food than that at home

It was a good place before when I went to this place a few time food was delicious now the jerk sauce taste like modified bbq sauce the food is really gone down and I eat jerk chicken a lot never had onion rings with jerk chicken lol the place let me down on my last visit they really messed up the food, hope they get the old flavour back, the patties are a no no hardly any filling and so dry

First time orderd, didn't realise curry goat was on the bone, it wasn't nice food was cold, never again, 33 pound in the bin 🤬

Best Caribbean food in Oxford by miles, been a regular customer for years. Happy to see you on Just Eat!

Excellent food, a unique curry, you would pay $$$ in Summertown for this quality

What a great find this place was! Only had Jamaican food once before from another place that left me feeling indifferent about it. Jamaican Spice on the other hand just felt right! Have been a couple of times and had curried goat and rice. Generous portions with lots of flavour and well priced. Will be trying another dish soon! Update 09 Feb 22 Just had another takeaway from here and it was top notch! This was about the sixth time I've been here and the food has always been tasty, well cooked and generously portioned. Highly recommended!

One of my favorites... good prices.... large portions!!! Too man in the kitchen and the food is proper tasty like! Big up

Banging goat curry! Best in Oxford, a must!!!

The jerk chicken is super good! 10/10

Authentic, soul-warming food. Kind and helpful food. Highly recommend.

Came back to this place after five years (left Oxford) and still the nice friendly guys serving great heartwarming Jamaican food. Generous portions and flavorful.

I use to go there all the time when I worked in the area. I went there and I only had the patty. I had a vegetarian, lamb and beef. I got these warm before I left. These didn't disappoint, they were flaky and filled with flavour.

PROPER, homecooked style, Carribean cusine. The food is ALWAYS excellent here and at a great price. Love it,

I don’t know what the hell the last review is on about. I will assume she’s never had chicken on the bone and would suggest that she gets the chicken tenders from McDonalds in the future. On to the review! Absolutely delicious. Tender, juicy brown stew chicken with rice and peas, roasties, Mac & cheese. Phew. And the portions were verrryyyy generous. We had extra for lunch the next day. The dumplings were phenomenal and reminded me of beignets. 10/10. This is our new favourite takeaway. If you like bold flavour, well priced, finger lickin chicken then this is the place for you.

There is mould on your display food. Made the mistake to order chicken dish that was served with the chicken bones. Your place is cold and stinks. Do not recommend.

Great friendly service. Food was exceptional👌

Lush food . portions are huge enough for lunch the next day. Deffo my favourite place

Tucker road here! This is our favourite take away, food portions and flavour are superb, Always on time and always the best tasting food in oxford - love it !!!!!

Excellent and authentic Jamaican food, friendly proprietor, good sized portions. Definitely worth a visit!!

Not one of the best examples of Jamaican food or Jamaican people... the staff is not very help or talkative when you ask questions..

Loved it food was as good as every

Size portions were exceptional. Good Value for money and you won't leave there feeling hungry. Food was freshly cooked

Food was delicious and the portion size was huge. Had enough to have a meal the next day

The chicken was harder, dryer and older than any meat I have ever seen. I'm absolutely astonished - the reviews for this place seem unanimously great but this was very possibly the worst meal I have ever eaten. Also it cost £8.50. Total joke.

Fresh food, amazing customer service. I had an brilliant experience at Jamaican Spice. 👍👍

Great portions, great food, good customer service. I will be visiting here again

Closest match to my grandmother's cooking! Good portion sizes and delicious and mouthwatering meals.

The food is honestly so so good ! Huge portions, friendly service and DELICIOUS food. 100% recommend :)

Thr best Jamaican in Oxford by a mile! Really good freshly cooked food by a chef who cares. Large portions. Friendly staff. Has many regulars from those in the know in Oxford. It's all about the large mixed box with curried goat, jerk pork, ackee and saltfish, dumplings, rice and salad!

Food was good with generous portions. Friendly staff

Poor food and not great service over priced.

Jamaican Spice has one of the best jerk chicken I have ever tasted. It is spicy, well seasoned and jerked to perfection. The prices are very reasonable, the portions are huge. It's two servings in one really. There is a sitting area for having food but this isn't really a restaurant dining experience. It is more takeaway or delivery. There are no bathrooms for customers but the entrance is wheelchair accessible. It is a Jamaican establishment so be prepared to know that if it says it is open at 1:30pm the food is mostly ready at 2:30pm.

The couple of times I ordered I can certify the food is good. The only reason I only gave it 3 starts is that this place (at least in my experience) is rarely open as advertised. I came a number of times to order but it was closed. I also tried calling - no answer. Needless to say, I don't go there any longer due to a largely hit and miss nature of my experiences.

Food arrives hot, best value for money in Oxford, flavours are on point!!

It's all about the fried dumplin... 😏

best yard food in oxforf great service

Nice food with big portions. Reasonable prices.

Amazing food and great host. Highly recommend

Amazing!!!!! Rare gem. Haven’t tried everything off the menu yet, but their food is straight fire 🔥!

Wow a Saturday night trying to phone for 3 and a half hours clearly not open as they say on there website as OPEN now have 3 very dissapointed children and hungry adults will never order again

Good size meal was able to share with a friend. Will recommend to friend. Thumbs up for the jerk pork.

Has visited this store for more than 4 years, once for a while I must get their fish, jerk chicken and salt fish dish. Definately addicted to the taste. One of my favourite food in UK

Very nearly five stars! For the price, the food was really outstanding: not only generous, but really tasty. It looks like it's just your average take-away, with polystyrene boxes, a cheap-looking shop, and a £5-10 price range. But I was blown away by my 'baked chicken', which came with salad, rice, and an amazing sauce. The only thing that let it down for me was the unenthusiastic service and the very loud TV in the restaurant (I decided to eat in).

Amazing food had the brown stew chicken and jerk chicken. Awesome value for money 1 meal easily do 2 people.! Be back for more soon

Best food in Oxford !!!! This is a genuine review by a polish guy. I work in BMW factory and I get Jamaican Spice everyday for work to heat up... cheap, good and filling. I know its hard to believe... but check for yourself :) i recommend jerk chicken for a starter and fruit cake for dessert.... crazy..

Really good food! Never tried Jamaican before. Portions of food are really good value and taste wise. Menu is different everyday.

The best Jerk Chicken I've ever eaten. Better than I've had in Brooklyn NYC, Antigua & Notting Hill Carnival.

Best Jamaican food in Oxford hands down. Amazing chef, curry goat best I've had and dumplings are must haves. Portions incredible for the price. I'm living in oz now and missing the quality Jamaican that Holloway Road offers. Get the Jerk, the saltfish and the curry goat.
