Spotlight Caribbean Kitchen

I had the oxtail with rice and peas and it was very good. Portion was a bit small but it tasted good. My husband had the jerk chicken and it was also tasty. Staff was really nice, A true Jamaican owned place.

Watched the “lunch special” go from $7.50 to almost $10.. portion size still the same, the food is okay, nothing to rave about just close to work. Be careful when paying with debit, as on multiple occasions I was overcharged, they do not turn the POS machine to you so you can see the price, they just tell you to tap.

This was the absolute worst Jamaican restaurant I’ve ever been to. The stew chicken was light and had no flavour and the ox tail was disgusting aswell. I would definitely not go back or recommend again!

I went there for the first time over the weekend for takeout, and I was truly impressed. I loved the decor of the restaurant, and I was given great customer service. I ordered fried chicken with rice and peas, oxtail gravy on the rice, mixed vegetables, and amazing BBQ sauce on the chicken. I also ordered fried snapper on the side. The portion size of the meal was very generous! Very decent price as well. Everything was so delicious! I will definitely have to go back!!

Food didn't taste very fresh.. Rice and peas did not have much flavor and alot of the rice was overcooked and very hard. I would not recommend.
