Let me start by saying this is an experience. Don't book a reservation if you want to eat & run. This is like going over to a family members house, who can really throw down!! If you are a REAL Soul Food Foodie, then this is the right place to be. Chef Artis is so attentive, friendly, kind, personable, & a Damn Good Chef!! We were in town to celebrate our 10th anniversary & I booked my reservation 2 months in advance. We ordered "Family Style" which included 2 proteins, all sides & DELICIOUS cornbread. Our meal consisted of these beautifully smothered pork chops with shrimp in a flavorful roux, chicken that had been marinaded in herbs, dredge in seasoned flour & pan fried in a cast-iron skillet. The sides were a deliciously seasoned rice, Cheese & Mac, flavorful collard greens & a whipped sweet potato that will make you wanna SLAP somebody!!! The cornbread was perfection, even though I had to resist eating too much so I could leave room for ALL the other goodies!!! It was quiet, intimate, good music, Chef Artis checked on us multiple times & chatted with us once he had completed his masterpiece & served it to us to devour! This is how food is supposed to be eaten, slowly & with joy. Excellent experience & best meal we had during our travels. Thank you Chef Artis!??????
I had such an amazing time here. My husband David made reservations via text and we used the chef course options that had various course meals that were out of this world. They do have BYOB option, and you need to call/text ahead for reservations. I highly recommend and had such an amazing experience and really good food!
Chef Artist is a warm and inviting person whose personality you can taste in every bite of his food. It’s rich and loving and just a bit complicated. I’d highly recommend Spaha Soul to anyone looking for a special evening with knock you out delicious food.

We did a 20 person buyout here for a friends reunion here and it was *chefs kiss* so fun and amazing! Accommodating chef, ByoB, other world fried chicken, etc etc! Highly recommended! Do not, and I mean it, do not skip the cornbread.

Very cozy setting in Harlem. The Owner is very welcoming and the food was delicious. The fried chicken and fried fish was great, the mac n cheese was excellent as well.

I took my mom here for Mother's Day with my family. Chef Artist was exceptional. My family had a wonderful experience.The food was flavorful and delightful. Thank you Chef Artist for such a wonderful experience.
Space is small, so a reservation is definitely needed. All run by chef and owner, Artist. That day we had the place almost all to ourselves and he made our experience one of a kind with his hospitality and attention. Eating delicious food while the guest musician played made for good vibes. We made quick friends with our dining neighbor and the whole restaurant just talked about life. Would definitely return again!

Artist (the chef) created a meal for us which was simultaneously unique and comforting. We enjoyed every bite of it and refused to leave anything on the plate. We also had the joy of getting to know Artist throughout the meal, and he made us feel at home.Sharing the evening with this wonderful person while also being spoiled by his culinary talent made for an experience we cannot forget. Could not ask for a better meal. Thank you, Artist!
