Jamaica Sweet Spices
I first ate at this restaurant about 6 to 9 months ago and thought the food was exceptional.
Unfortunately, the quality has gone down drastically.
Today I ordered the 3 piece meat with jerk and curry chicken and oxtail with rice and peas, plantain, cabbage and avocado. The rice and peas was dry and bland, salt hasn't touch it. Only about a tablespoon of cabbage was given and the avocado tasted old. The oxtail was mostly gristle, the curry chicken was overcooked and the jerk chicken boring.
On a positive note the plantain was nice although not enough.
I thought the price of $30 for the plate was reasonable.
Also, the service is always pleasant.
When I first patronize the restaurant, there was a gentleman there who I thought was the owner and cook. If he was, he needs to return to his place in the kitchen.
I parked on the curb since the only other option is parking on the side streets. And wouldn't you know Oakland Police Department came cruising by but I wasn't bothered or ticket.
