"The Original Caribbean Spice, a Castle Square Caribbean takeaway spot—if you don’t count the two tiny tables—is run by two sisters. And it feels like a proper homely affair, where the radio plays loudly, regulars spend time here just reading the paper, and forgotten orders are shouted through the kitchen like you’re late for dinner. They’ll also happily recommend you something off the blackboard menu before asking about your day, and gently remind you not to spill the coleslaw they’ve added to your takeaway bag. Over-ordering is inevitable when dishes are this tasty—slightly spicy mac and cheese, goat curry that’s rich and falling off the bone, and lamb patties stuffed right to the edges with crumbly meat." - jake missing, sinead cranna
"You could have a Kryptonite lock and there’s still no way you are leaving your cost-more-than-my-car Bianchi chained up to some lamp post. For plenty of bike hoops and tasty food, head to The Original Caribbean Spice Kitchen in Elephant and Castle. Over-ordering at this friendly Caribbean spot is inevitable when dishes are this tasty—slightly spicy mac and cheese, goat curry that’s rich and falling off the bone, and lamb patties stuffed right to the edges with crumbly meat. Bring a pannier bag if you have one, you’ll want leftovers." - sinead cranna
"The Original Caribbean Spice, an Elephant and Castle Caribbean takeaway spot (if you don’t count the two tiny tables) feels like a proper homely affair. The radio plays loudly and regulars spend time here just reading the paper. We keep coming back to the slightly spicy mac and cheese, goat curry that’s rich and falling off the bone, and lamb patties stuffed right to the edges with crumbly meat. If you’re not sure what to get, the two sisters who run the place will happily recommend you something off the blackboard menu, before asking about your day and gently remind you not to spill the coleslaw that they’ve added to your takeaway bag." - Team Infatuation

"A Jamaican mainstay that secured relocation into one of the new developments, allowing this entrenched provider of Caribbean food to continue trading close to its original customer base." - James Hansen
