Tropical Spice CARIBBEAN CUISINE — Restaurant in Fargo

Today was my first time eating here, and this is Precisely what my taste buds had been longing for in recent weeks (with regards to soulful Caribbean food)!!! I got the Curry Chicken platter, which came with four chicken thighs, a generous serving of red beans and rice, plus two sides of your choosing. I chose to get the candied yams and the steamed cabbage (which has bell peppers and carrots in it), and was So very pleased with those picks.

I tell you, words can literally not even do justice to how absolutely INCREDIBLE that meal tasted!!! And with how much food was provided, I was so surprised that I managed to eat it all in one sitting! But there was just no way any of that yummy food was going to go uneaten today, hehe!! The chicken thigh meat was Sooo super tender and absolutely falling off the bone! Everything was superbly seasoned and wonderfully flavorful!!! It was just truly Such an absolute delight of a meal, that I actually made it a point to let the owner/cook know how exceptional everything tasted before leaving out!

I could really go on and on, but the moral of the story is this place is a MUST TRY!!! You will Not regret it At All! And as for my dine-in experience, it was really pleasant. There was lively island music/reggae playing that created an awesome vibe, plus lovely, hand-painted artwork on display, as well. And there’s both indoor and outdoor seating available, and the restroom was clean, too. However, it’s a great idea to place your order in advance of your arrival (20-30 minutes beforehand), so as to ensure there’s no wait to dig in. And, if the solo cook doesn’t quite hear you at the counter, you can do as I did and just call their phone number and make her aware that you’ve arrived to pick-up your order, and she’ll bring...

It’s beyond me how this place has 4.9 stars. Here’s why it’s actually a 1-star joint:

1.They are cash only in the restaurant.

The music is absolutely blaring, not pleasant background music you enjoy during your meal.

Be prepared to wait. After ordering, the chef advised it would be a 30–40 minute wait. I thought that was reasonable - even though the restaurant was completely empty - so I left and came back after 30 minutes. No food. Finally, after another 30 minutes, he poked his head out the kitchen window and said it was almost done, that it would be another 15 minutes. After yet another 30 minutes, I was just about to leave and he finally gave me my meal. No explanation. No offer to make it right.

And to top it all off, I got a dirty plastic fork and napkin with my food…all after waiting 1 1/2 hours for a “30–40 minute wait” in an empty restaurant. Wish I could get...

We’ve been looking for Jamaican cuisine in the Fargo area and found this restaurant as we googled Jamaican restaurants in the area. First time for us to try Jamaican cuisine and let me tell you it’s out of this world! The Jerk chicken is amazing, just the right amount of spices in the sauce and it was cooked right, and tender. The rice & beans, steamed cabbage and plantains were also good accompaniment to the Jerk chicken. I had Mac & cheese as a side while my husband had plantains. Just delicious overall. They played Caribbean, Jamaican style music, which brings up the fun to the whole experience. There was Jamaican art displayed in the dining area. Service was fast and friendly. Great first time experience for us. We will be...
