Spice World Caribbean Takeaway in Southampton

I just wanted to write a final review because I had been going here for easily around 5+ years and so have all my family but I'm devostated it seems to how have closed down. My favourite was the brown stew chicken. The carrot & potato was soft and chunky, the chicken used to fall apart and the rice and peas were lovely. It would sell out within hours of opening which shows how amazing the food was. They delivered through out covid which they didn't normally do but wanted to make sure everyone got some (as everyone was craving it!) And the family that ran the business were absolutely lovely. It was a family run business which traditional family food. If you turned up and they only had the smallest bit left of your favourite dish, they would still try to make a good meal out of it for you but if I'm honest, if your a regular you know you've got to get in there early as like I said it SOLD OUT ! Going to miss Spice World 😩

Este lugar debe ser cerrado, la señora detrás del mostrador es muy agradable hasta que haga una queja al curry de cabra para llevarse todo lo que tenía eran huesos y salsa, sin trozos de carne, y cuando le pregunto si es grande, dijo que en realidad no lo era. Incluso la porción de un niño. Luego llama a su esposo, le dije y me devolvió el dinero, pero ella estaba tratando de discutir con decirle que no estoy hablando de lo que estoy diciendo. Dije que estoy aquí para discutir, pero un simple reembolso que obtuve porque sus precios son altos para lo que obtienes. Así que fui al restaurante frito de al lado, incluso él dijo que es una porción para bebés que deberían avergonzarse de ellos mismos, la comida es un servicio horrible e incluso la comida es repugnante, aléjate de este lugar.

Sólo la mejor comida auténtica que puedes encontrar. La señora detrás del mostrador era encantadora y amable y su comida está fuera de este mundo. Ve, no te arrepentirás. Es comida que tu mamá haría. Delicioso

Servicio amable, profesional y servicial. Deliciosa auténtica comida caribeña! ¡Mi guiso de pollo, arroz y guisantes con ensalada de col que fue hecho especialmente para mí, fue "chuparse los dedos" bien! Fue encantador tener un sabor del Caribe en el corazón de Southampton.

Massively overpriced y la comida era realmente terrible, terminó directamente en la papelera evitar a toda costa

Last time I was in Southampton at a fantastic Rae Morris gig I walked everywhere, seeing the same old same old, stumbled across Spice World, I hope I have the right place. Amazing Curried Goat. Reminded of this as legend Greg Dread from cool Dreadzone was talking pre gig food in Southampton as they play the night after this was wrote.

Went on the 2nd of march with my partner as we were working in the area...DISCUSTING as a massive fan of Caribbean food this is by far the worst we have ever had. We had the stew chicken and it had not seen the inside of a stewing pot! The food was obvioisly rushed as i struggled to get it off the bone and there was hardly any chicken on it...undercooked vegetables (1 potato and 1 carrot slice) NEVER GO THERE

Ive been there many times over the years and always have the same experience. The lady that works in there is VERY rude. The portions are small; I once got given two pieces of chicken in a large curry chicken. Its an absolute joke.

As a big fan of Caribbean food, I can say that this place is brilliant. Had to curried goat. Brilliant taste and a decent portion. Highly recommend, particularly if you are bored with the same old Indian, Pizza and Chinese take aways and looking for something a little different. Beats the likes of Turtle Bay easily in terms of taste and authenticity.

Been there many times because the lack of Caribbean food shops in the area . The portions are small. Prices are expensive. The food quality is average. I don't believe you are getting good value for money overall. One time i found an insect in my food. I had a bad experience of buying a Pattie that didn't have about half the meat in it. I have also been given wrong orders. Staff are quite unprofessional and want to know too much of your personal business. They can also be rude at times even if they have made a mistake with the order themselves. Would not recommend it.

MUST HAVE THE CURRY GOAT!!! they tend to cook little portion of this and could be sold out by 19:00pm, by that time we got there there were only one portion left. Could call for book. will upload the menu.

I've been here a few times and always look forward to going back. The food here is very very good! Looks and tastes like home cooking. The portion size is good for the price. I always get a large jerk chicken with rice and peas & I get my fiance a large brown stew chicken with rice and peas each of these costs £7.50. I also always get fry dumplings at 70p each. Cans of soda are 70p each. The restaurant is not in the best location but the restaurant is on a busy street. Also the people at the counter inside aren't overly friendly but you get served quickly and the food is amazing! :D

I've walked by Spice World several times but never stopped to look in or pick up a menu. To be honest, from the outside the place looks a little nondescript. Looks pretty much like your very pedestrian looking takeaway shop sandwiched between even more nondescript looking chippy shops and the like. I finally went in and tried their food recently and was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was. The menu is not too extensive, but offers all the standard Carribean fixings - jerk chicken, curry goat, brown stew chicken, rice and peas, fried dumpling and a great selection of meat patties (hand sized pastries with a selection of spicy meat fillings). I have been back more than three times since, and the quality of food is consistent - the meat is always well seasoned and marinated (with a spicy hint of scotch bonnet pepper), freshly prepared and served warm. The shop is spotlessly clean and has no greasy lingering smells, often associated with takeaways. If you're new to Caribbean food but want to try it, I would recommend the jerk chicken served with rice and peas (very generous serving) and the meat patties. I've been looking forward to sampling their fried chicken. Not had a chance because it seems to be the first thing that's sold out everytime I patronise the place. For as little as £5 to £7, you can have a decent, delicious, home cooked Caribbean meal.
