Spice and Nice 2

No flavor no taste… Portion size good but the chef can’t cook. Worst Jamaican food I ever ate.

This place is horrible. They hardly answer the phone when you call, and when you do get an answer they never have what their menu says they offer. Also, the food isn’t really good, it’s okay. They say they close at 8pm and sometimes if you call they say «we are out of food, and closing early». What kind of business does that? They’re so unprofessional, I’d drive the extra few mins just to go to D&H at least they have what I want to order. I’d even drive to the spice and nice 1 before I go to this one it’s a poor excuse of a business.

Walked in at 6pm on a Friday and was told they only have three things: jerk wings, stew chicken and stew beef. I order stew chicken and was told, «oh we are out of that now.» Many people walked in an walked out. How can you run a business and only have three things on the menu at 6pm on a Friday night?
I was irritated. Will not likely try them again.

The oxalis was so good rated number one in Delaware yes I found me a spot to eat at coming from New Jersey now living in Delaware

Best jerk chicken this side of town. The cabbage is perfectly cooked and just melt in your mouth! The perfect amount of spices. The gravy on the chicken has more than enough flavor for all your taste buds!

Waste of money. I was so disappointed th food was not seasoned very bland. I will not return

Spice & Nice 2 formerly known as Cottoys (different owners) has very good Jamaican food. Being from NYC, I can attest this restaurants will meet your expectations. The oxtail is incredible and always fresh. Curry goat is delicious. The jerk chicken is good but I had better. I think jerk chicken is better off a grill than in a oven. The jerk pork is rich with flavor and beef patties are made daily on site.
I do have few negative things to point out but not about the quality of the food. The service could be better. Meaning, greet me when I come in the door. Don’t make me wait 10 – 15 minutes before speaking to me and it’s not even busy. Now, I don’t mind the wait because the food is that good. Also, it seems like towards the end of the day the menu is limited. They’re running out of food. That’s something that the consumer does not want to hear. Make enough food to meet your demand.

There are a few JA restaurants in DE, but this 2 store chain is the best JA food experience I’ve had so far in De. I’ve been going to them from their days when they only had the 1 (Spice and Nice) restaurant off Route 9 – still there. It still doesn’t comes close to a Flatbush/​Utica Ave Brooklyn experience, but for a DE experience it’s on top! The Patty is really good and always fresh from my experience. Oxtail, Curry Chicken and stew Chicken are my favorites.
The only negative to this chain is the wait time as they’re clearly on Jamaican time! I highly suggest anyone thinking of making a ‘quick’ stop in to get that out of your mind. You’ll just end up going there and wait forever on the food and probably get so annoyed you probably not got back. With that said CALL AHEAD and with that add a few minutes of wait time in the planning on top of that.
After many times getting there and twiddling my thumbs I’ve come to just accept its just a JA ting. I’ve just come to realize it’s part of the experience and I plan accordingly as I suggested earlier. The food just keeps me going back!
Tip: when calling know that they’re actually there. They just take a little longer to answer the phones – again they’re in JA speed mode :) At times they get so busy they don’t even answer! Again the food keeps me going back!
