It's like walking into someone's home and you smell something delicious in the air. Then you ask, what is that? And they respond by saying that they are just finishing up cooking some oxtail on the stove. You look at the stove in the back and you say, "I'll have that."

Wow! Love this place! The food is amazing!! I got the red snapper, and it's the best snapper I've ever tasted. And I tasted lots. Great customer service! The owners were pleasant, friendly and inviting. Def coming back!

Very Good Food! Price was great for the amount of food I got. The pork I got was flavorful and not greasy! Will return.

I wish I had taken a picture before I started eating but I couldn't help myself. I got J*** Pork ribs with rice and peas, steamed vegetables and plantain. The ribs were so tender and the j*** sauce was one of the best I've ever had. The rice was moist and perfectly seasoned as well as the steamed vegetables. I'm only visiting CT, but when and if I come back, better believe I'm stopping here for another plate!On top of the food being great, the staff was very nice and the location was clean and tidy!

Amazing Jamaican food!Edit: i wish i could give it another 5 stars rating. Second time coming by and this time i got to try curry goat, oxtail and my fav j*** chicken again. Everything was beyond amazing, but that oxtail though, makes you say wow every bite, simply the best I've ever had and worth every penny!This food as an experience <3

Authentic Jamaican food with friendly staff. My wife is Jamaican, born and raised, and she gives the food a thumbs up. Oxtail is expensive but it's not the restaurants fault. It's expensive everywhere. If the news you see about them struggling is throwing you off....it's not the food. It's the location. It's hidden and we found it by accident. They also need to work on their marketing. Put out flyers and maybe have a stand at a local festival. Also, it's Milford.

We ordered a huge takeout for our family gathering I cannot tell you how delicious this food was!!! The ox tail was phenomenal the j*** chicken fantastic we ordered the seafood platter everything on it was simply scrumptious. We ordered two different kinds of shrimp also fantastic! Jamaican bread yummmmm. The food was simply incredible thank you
After seeing posts about Spice n Flava on Facebook we decided to take a ride for lunch. When you walk in you may question your decision to visit - don't think twice keep going! Shortly you will get a cheerful greeting from the chef/owner and it will just get better. The menu is on a screen overhead but we were also verbally run through the choices - after a couple of questions while our eyes got bigger we ordered. We visited on a Friday - important because the menu changes with the day of the week - and ordered j*** pork ribs, fried chicken and a pork chop with a pineapple sauce. The flavors were out of this world. Portions are very good size. The rice is out of this world. The braised cabbage and carrots was also excellent. When we were leaving I asked about the rice which had a unique flavor and was told, with a smile, nothing really (and rattled off ingredients), just my grandmothers recipes. I replied well my compliments to the chef and your grandmother if she is still with you. She proudly responded I'm the chef but sadly my grandmother has passed. Wonder food, very casual down home environment, and pride of ownership and history come through in every bite!

The owner/chef I believe her name is Christine, very kind,friendly and responsive.It was my wife's first time tasting Jamaican cuisine and it was delicious.The curry and j*** chicken was tender with the meat falling of the bone.A large quantity you certainly get your moneys worth.A must try if you want good Jamaican cuisine we will be going back again.

I moved to CT over a year ago and have been looking for a Caribbean authentic restaurant. I found out about Spice n Flava on the Connecticut post and how the business has been struggling since the pandemic. I stopped by on 7/5 and wanted to try out the food that I have been craving for so long. The lady who was there was so nice and helpful. I ordered oxtails, cabbage, and rice and beans... it was so good and flavorful. I will def be coming back to try their other food items. I'm so glad I found about this place and so close to home.

I'm ashamed to say I've never been to their proper location, right here in Milford! After a delicious encounter at the downtown Milford Juneteenth celebration I will definitely make a visit to their main location. My oxtail (a recommendation from a kind employee) was delicious as were the sides that came along with it. Looking forward to my follow up visit!
