    Food was great and in big portions, the king prawn with that sauce was banging and the drinks were amazing, not the watered down. It was a good value for money coupled with friendly customer service. If you haven’t already, give them a try and thank me later.

    We had an incredible time, the food was all so tasty and we’re still talking about the Jamaican Paradise cocktail. Superb vegan options too, will definitely be returning

    A really nice, moderately sized restaurant but was just right. The service was fantastic from stat to finish and the food was phenomenal. The starters were perfectly sized and flavoursome especially the King Prawns. The Goat Curry was tender and captured the true essence of the Caribbean. I was extremely impressed with the whole dining experience and would fully recommend to anyone.

At Spiced Roots, we pour love into every dish and every table we serve, so hearing that it captured the true Caribbean essence means the world to us. Your private note genuinely touched us — we’ll be keeping the standards high and the vibes just right. We hope to welcome you back very soon!
