I tried your food about three years ago and the kind of money that we spent. I would expect better cooks the greens like like the girls said were horrible and I don't like playing Russian roulette with my money cause when I come in your restaurant and looking for something to taste good and be fantastic and I come in there and it taste messy you need y'all need to start getting better cooks disqualified certified that's been to school and not pick up anybody to cook cause cause they ain't coming back if I come in your restaurant and your food is horrible. I ain't coming back. read more

7 Spices Caribbean Soul - Oxtail - Soul Food Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

I had been wanting oxtails for about two weeks or more so I googled the nearest place to me not realizing this place was less then 10 minutes from me. I place an order of oxtails collard greens mac n cheese and candy yams. The oxtails was absolutely delicious very tender melt in your mouth, the collard greens was flavorful and seasoned to perfection, yams was delicious as well, the mac n cheese was good but could've been more cheesier. But overall the platter was delicious this will not be my last visit. The customer service was pleasant and they were nice but nothing over the top. The restaurant was welcoming and gave a Jamaican vibe would like to go sit in one day. So overall I will give them a 9 and will definitely be going back again and again . read more

This was my first time here. To pay $65 for two meals I was expecting to be fully satisfied. I ordered oxtail, rice, macaroni, and potato salad. The potato salad was drowning in mayonnaise sauce, very watery, as if they were trying to stretch the product. Not enough rice and it was swimming in gravy. The macaroni was like I had the scraps of the pan. The oxtail portion was inconsistent in the plates one had a little more than the other plate. I will not be returning. I am truly confused on why they are still in business. The inside was extremely hot. No air conditioning. Who wants to eat in that type of atmosphere. The customer service was great and I didn't have to wait long to receive my food. That's why I gave two stars. read more

The spot is by no means fancy. A few tables inside for Dine in. Hand made paper signs inside the front door. The interior is clean and very casual. The service was courteous, friendly and prompt. My wife and I went around 5ish on a Thursday evening. No wait but several pick up orders were handled during our visit. I ordered the large Jerk chicken with cabbage and greens (Rice and peas included) and my wife had a medium Stew chicken with greens and candied yams. This was hands down the most amazing Jamaican food we've had in our lives including Scotchies in Montego Bay, Jamaica! Chicken was tender, juicy and perfectly seasoned in every bite. I have never had cabbaged that tasty, tender but not soggy. We vow to support this business whenever we're in the Norfolk/VA Beach area in the future. My wife almost never eats all of her meal when we dine out and she absolutely demolished everything in that styrofoam container. read more

Food doesn't disappointment at all. The food is made to order and staff is friendly. I've ordered to-go and pick-up. Oxtails can be a little more fatty than I like. Wish they gave hot sauce (would be good for the collard greens). However. It hasn't been a bother too me too much since I do not eat there. The inside is a bar type feel with tables and seats. Parking can be a bit of a challenge, but nothing one can't figure out. Will continue to come and support! read more

First time here, got the large oxtails with two sides. The oxtails were a bit fatty but were seasoned and cooked well, the Mac n cheese was dry and the collard greens weren't cooked down enough and were a bit tough but adding hot sauce saved them. This dish also came with choice of rice and beans or white rice. I would try another dish here read more

The food is good! We got the curry chicken, rice and beans, Mac and greens. I didn't like the mac at all, and the greens need a little hot sauce. The curry is amazing. They're fried chicken is also good it has a good crisp and it's nice and seasoned. The service is good, they are family owned and everyone is nice. The ambiance is not the greatest. It looks like a whole in the wall. It can have better decorations and lighting. read more

This is the WORST "jerk" chicken o have ever had in my life. I've had jerk chicken in Jamaica, New York, Pennsylvania, Georgia and Florida and this place doesn't even deserve to call this jerk chicken. The side options don't include plantains, what Jamaican restaurant doesn't offer plantains? I requested extra gravy which is described as "extra gravy on your dish", extra implying more of what you ordered. It stands to reason that since I ordered jerk chicken, it would be extra jerk gravy. NOPE, it's beef gravy for like a pot roast or something. Not to mention, the portion sizes are shameful. I ordered a small because all the aforementioned places I've gotten jerk chicken from tend to be very very generous, but this was an insult to be that small and for damn near $20. I ate 2 bites just so I could say I tried it and make sure my review is thorough, but, I'm super excited to have immediately thrown it away. I cannot speak for their other other dishes, but they need to clarify their menu and let people know the extra gravy is beef gravy, and that they'll still be hungry after, well definitely me since I put that swill in the trash. read more

Food had great flavor, I opted for the spicy when asked and I got it! It wasn't overly spicy just full of flavor. The place was pretty empty but had multiple pickup orders while I was there, looks like a little neighborhood bar that has some great Jamaican food. Service was quick read more

Mann I had high hopes for my first visit here. Unfortunately I order the pork chop dinner after it took about 30 min it was so salty I got an instant head ache! I couldn't take another bite! They told me they could make me another one of course I had to wait another hr for the same exact salty pork chop! The Mac and cheese looked and tasted like it was reheated from last week so dry I support my black owned businesses but yall gotta do better, i couldn't go back just the thought of it makes me sick smh but yall good 7 spices tighten up smmfh read more

I'm from Va Beach and I live on the west coast now and hate the food out there. This place was delicious. I had the chicken small plate collards, rice and peas, and Mac. Grannie had fried pork chop, yams and Mac. Chops were cooked perfect. Seasoned well and it Hit the spot. Nice workers also. I have already recommended people to go here. Go by and order to keep them in business. I'll have the oxtails next time. There is a full bar inside. Nice large TV and cowboys decorations. read more

The food and prices should improve a great deal. I was very dissatisfied. Finally found a real Caribbean spot that does not disappoint. Happy Times Food Mart in Portsmouth. Please don't waste your time and money at 7 Spices. read more

The food is amazing, great casual atmosphere with great service . The staff is super friendly.

The initial pulling into the parking lot to me gives dirty vibes. but I was so hungry I went ahead and tried it even tho my instinct was telling me to just leave, (side note , I should have listened go my instincts) the glass door upon entering was filthy full of fingerprints , smears, etc as if it hadn't been cleaned for weeks/ months. red flag number 2 . the entry way after you open front door was dirty & smelled dirty ( I should have left at that moment) then the actual restaurant inside had a very very very dirty funky smell , I was ok maybe it's the oxtails they cook i have no clue because I don't eat them but I was just trying to make myself feel better to eat there. again once inside dirty vibes again. tables sticky. no a/c so just muggy and warm plus the foul smell even worse. used the bathroom, it was also hot inside there , super cheap falling apart toilet paper , dirty floor , stink in the whole dam building. omg I should have just left. but again I was so hungry so I ordered. they are so slow , Chinese restaurants and Mexican restaurants would never have you waiting that dang long for 1 meal. then i got my meal , of course it was nasty, and wrong ,mac and cheese barely any flavor , rice had hard crunchy spots in it . just ridiculous. and not fresh at all. I will NEVER GO BACK . Oh and they are ridiculously HIGH IN PRICES . 17 dollars for barely any food of 1 meal , & if they are out of something that comes with your meal, you are just sol, they won't replace it with nothing else. I don't know how they are even still in business. Good luck read more

Mm, mm, MMM! That's all I could say when I saw the plays being bagged. Everything was so good! The greens and cabbage was seasoned to perfection. I added hot sauce for the kick and that's it. The Mac n cheese was really good. Many soul food and Caribbean places around here for some reason always miss the mark when it comes to the Mac n cheese, but not here. I recommend 10/10. Oxtails were falling off the bone, and the jerk chicken was juicy! Yep this is my new go to. I even told my dad that he needs to make a trip down from Roanoke. read more

Mannnnnn this place is a gem. I saw a review on TikTok and decided to try it out. I got curry chicken, rice and peas, collard greens & yams. My gf had oxtails, rice and peas, cabbage and mac & cheese. The food was delicious. The Mac and cheese was quite underwhelming and my gf preferred the yams to be a bit sweeter (they were good to me lol). We smashed our food (except Mac and cheese). I wish I could provide some pics but thought of it too late. Sorry. Definitely will return. read more

I visits the city for work and this is my second time coming. Each time I left more than satisfied here is what I got .... So yummy. Long wait time though read more

There is just wayyyyy too much salt in this food. I tried this for the first time over the weekend. The portions were ok. I ordered a large; the container was large, but the food was barely covering the bottom of the container, which was ok considering that the food was not very good. The ambiance is much better than I expected from looking at the outside. The service was meh. I wasn't expecting much and was not disappointed. I probably will not be going back. Also, they do not serve fresh salad, which is quite disappointing. Overall, not impressed. read more

Food was very good and very hefty portions. Family atmosphere and I felt very welcomed. I was greeted with a big smile and welcome when I walked in. Very good soul food. Whoever is cooking really puts love into it. After getting my food, I was invited to attend an event the next night. I will definitely be spending my money here again. read more

Wings are really good and seasoned service was nice jerk and oxtails both tasted good

I have been here plenty of times and.....the food NEVER disappoints. Always hitting the spot, cooked just right and seasoned well. Sometimes Door Dash gets it wrong, but the food is always delicious, hot & fresh!! I recommended them to Yummo Bucko for months and he finally came out and agreed, go check his video on Facebook if you don't believe me!! read more

This place is not good at all. Caribbean food is one of my favorite types of food behind Italian, of course. I ordered an oxtail plate w/ rice & peas, and cabbage. The food looked good ( I forgot to take photos); however, lack flavor, and the oxtails were tough. I gave three stars because the customer service was excellent. The guy who took my order was pleasant. It's been not easy to find great Jamaican food in this area. I probably won't be back at this restaurant again. read more

I ordered food today from 7 Spices Caribbean Soul Food - 5511 Faris Street, Norfolk, VA. Paid for it via Doordash Store Front PIckup. The order was supposed to be ready at 4pm; it was not. The lady w/ the PINK hair found my order and put together my meal. On my way out the door she made a comment stating that she is "blocking" me??? I was baffled... However, she proceeded to yell at me stating that I am stealing from a Small Business...as well as stating that my order was OLD... She was Very RUDE and condescending... And if she is the owner she should be ashamed of herself. I am 50 years old and do not need to take $25 worth of food Ma'am. Here is my order number #Order #d5d71385... I am owed an apology. As far as the FOOD... The Mac & Cheese was CHEAP and not very good... It made me think about the mac and cheese that I was get from the bread and cheese lines when I was a kid. The stew chicken was okay. The YAMS were so so. and the collard greens were okay... I have never been so disrespected in my life... I am a Military Veteran that will never return to this establishment without and Apology. read more

Absolutely wonderful food and excellent customer service.. Collards greens.. Mac-n cheese Definitely will be back!

Food was great! Customer service eh! This place is off in the cut but we'll worth it. I had the baked turkey wing and two sides. Everything was cooked to perfection read more
