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

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😁

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.

Absolutely delicious, very filling and great value - everywhere needs places like this. I've been coming here regularly for several years now.

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.

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!

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.

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.

I’m in Oxford for work and, by pure accident (or fate?), I discovered this restaurant. Since I don’t like judging a place based on just one visit, I decided to go twice. Spoiler alert: it was a wild ride. Night 1 - The Case of the Missing Tap Water I walk in. The restaurant is half-empty. The host stand? Abandoned. No one in sight. I stand there awkwardly, slowly creeping closer to the counter, wondering if I’m invisible. Finally, a friendly gentleman (who I assume is the manager) spots me and takes me to my table. He asks, “Still or sparkling?” I confidently reply, “Tap water, please.” He nods, says “OK”… and then vanishes into thin air. Water? Never arrived. Did he forget? Did he go on a quest to find the purest tap water in all of England? We may never know. Luckily, a hardworking and super sweet waitress saved the day by taking my order and -miracle of miracles- bringing me the water I had requested years ago (okay, maybe just minutes, but it felt long). Food-wise? Pizza was fantastic! A little too much chunky pepperoni for my taste, but that’s a personal preference. No complaints otherwise. The bill arrives with the usual service charge included. I paid it- but only for the waitress, because our dear manager? Not exactly a service MVP. Night 2 - Speed Service & Vanishing Objects Friday night. Full house. I brace myself for a long wait, but lo and behold. same manager, different energy. This time, he seats me instantly (growth!) at a not-so-great table near the door. No problem, I’ll take what I can get. Does he ask if I want water? Absolutely not. At this point, I assume I’ve been blacklisted from the tap water club. A new waitress, equally delightful, takes my order. Food arrives in record time. I order salmon rigatoni. The salmon? Great. The rigatoni? Blah. No seasoning, no flavor, just… pasta. I consider asking for parmesan, but putting cheese on fish feels like a sin. Then, something incredible happens. I take my last bite. I wipe my mouth. Before I even lower my napkin..BOOM! My plate disappears. Like magic. Before I even blink, my napkin follows. I half expect my phone and wallet to vanish next. Final Thoughts - Lightning-Fast but a Bit Chaotic This restaurant has a solid foundation: good food (mostly), insanely fast service, and hardworking waitstaff. BUT, the customer care is… inconsistent. It’s like they’re on a speedrun of restaurant service, prioritizing efficiency over making guests feel truly welcome. Oh, and maybe, just maybe, someone could bring the tap water next time? Would I return? Maybe.
