    This place was highly recommended by a Haitian man that I was speaking with earlier. He said this place has the BEST Haitian food around. I decided to give it a try and ordered the Stew Turkey with black rice and plantains (his recommendation). I also ordered curry chicken, rice and peas and plantains for my husband. The presentation of the food was lovely but the taste was just average to us. It wasn't bad but just didn't have enough flavor for us. A little bland.

    I've been to this restaurant several times and am back again and it never disappoints. The food is delicious and authentic Haitian cuisine. My husband is Haitian and can vouch for the authenticity. The food is always fresh and I always end up taking some home because the portions are plentiful. Sonia, the owner, provides great customer service. There are 3 different rice choices but my favorite is the black rice. I highly recommend if you're looking for a great Caribean spot.

    Today we decided to stop by a get some Haitian food. It took forever for us to order as the young lady was not familiar with the menu and had to ask about everything. We arrived at 6:15 pm and we did not get our order until 7:05 pm. There are no public restrooms so while you wait your 45 minutes plus for your food, I hope you don't have to go. I originally raved about this restaurant and how amazing the food is to any and everyone. After today, I will not say anything. I am not sure if they need help or what has happened but the food no longer has the layers of flavor that you come to expect with Haitian food. Even the griot tasted bland. How can griot taste bland? The rice was not very good. I hate that I am writing this bc I loved the food so much before. I am not sure what happened but we will not be coming back.

    Wonderful find in Powder springs. I felt like I was back in South Florida . Missed Haitian food and good Kompa vibes. Great service.

    Curry Goat Oxtail Beef patty

    I came here without reading the reviews because it has 4 stars (wonder how). I ordered Oxtail and Curry goat. Tasted the curry goat. I was hit with the greatest amount of SALT my body has ever consumed at a time. I tasted the oxtail and it tasted like soy sauce mixed with BBQ sauce. Took a bite of the beef patty and it tasted like butter, suet mixed with cardboard. This is literally the worst food I have spent my money on. Not only am I still hungry, I feel robbed and swindled. These people have a Jamaican food menu and not only does it not remotely taste Jamaican, it is not even editable. I typically don't leave restaurant reviews because I am honestly lazy but I don't think these folks should run a restaurant. You are WARNED!

    Caribbean spice is a new Haitian spot in Marietta and I'm so glad it exists. Soo, the owner is the sweetest. I really loved her hospitality even though she was short staffed. Not going to lie, we waited a bit for our food, but the food is excellent. It's a buffet if you eat in and you get certain meats. I got the fried fish and griot. I love Haitian food so much and they got it right for sure. They also have fresh juices like passion fruit and mango. All of this is at such a reasonable price. The only con to this is that since it's really new, she doesn't have a set menu and I think there's a lot of stuff that she's still working out. But I gave five stars because the food is great and the hospitality is awesome. Even if there's some Haitian dish you want that's not on the menu, she is willing to make it for you if you call in advance. I will be back.

    After trying to catch these folks open for business for the past 2 weeks - I finally decided to just make a special trip up there to get a menu or a phone number or something! The owner seemed friendly enough, but she said they didn't have any 'to go' menus yet. When I asked if I could just snap a pic of the regular dine-in menu, she didn't have any of those either. She gave me a postcard for the 'free tasting event' they did back on July 31(see pic), but a) the event was 2 weeks ago, b) there is no menu on it, c) the website listed is a dead / inactive site and d) it's missing a phone number (so she wrote the number on a scrap of paper). I was really left scratching my head as to why she gave me the postcard. Here's what I discovered: It's a buffet - and they're marketing it as a Creole - Caribbean fusion. The music was EXTREMELY loud. The music coupled with owner's accent made it a bit difficult to understand her. For instance, when I was asking about the menu, she said, "We wanted to wait to get everything perfect, but we don't really need menus. It's a buffet - so we will basically have the same things - like fried turkey, fried fish, grilled fish, vegetables and salad." And so I said, "Oh - the fried turkey sounds good!" And then she said, "We don't have that tonight." Lol. There were only 2 or 3 tables with 2 chairs a piece. And a few upholstered armchairs up front. So I'm thinking this is gonna be more of a takeaway spot. I can't give them 5 stars because: 1) I didn't have the opportunity to try the food. This is literally the first time I've ever ventured into a Caribbean restaurant and was not offered a sample. Lol. Maybe now that I've gotten so chubby, restaurateurs are afraid that I'm gonna be greedy and ask for a bunch of additional samples. LMBO. Or maybe I looked too 'broke' to afford the food. I did have on sweats, an old t-shirt and my hair was a bit shady looking. Lol. 2) The music was way too loud. It was too loud during our brief conversation - and it would make normal conversation nearly impossible if you were dining in. 3) When I asked about a menu, or social media page with a pic of the menu and mentioned that the website was down - the owner kept repeating that they were going to 'do all of that' - but wanted to get everything 'perfect' first. I don't think I'm in the minority when I say, in this day and age, if you're opening a restaurant or any business - at the very least you create some sort of web presence that says 'coming soon' - to give people an idea of what type of food you're offering, along with price points, etc. It doesn't have to be an actual website, but give us a Instagram, Facebook, something . . . How can people come out to support you if they don't know you're here?! :)That's actually why I created this entry - to give them some sort of web presence and a forum for others to give feedback. If I'd had a phone number for them - I would have been able to call in an order of something basic - and just swing by to pick up. Wrapping up - this really should be more of a 3 star review (A-OK); or 2 star review (I've experienced better - because of loud music, no contact info and no samples) review. But I don't think it would be cool to give them a 2 star rating without having tried the food. 4 stars means I'm a fan - and I'm a fan of all new businesses - especially privately owned, Mom & Pop businesses. Lol. I'll stop back in later this week to give them a try. And I'll update this review accordingly.

    It was my first time here. I ordered the fried pork and rice and peas... delicious! I'm originally from Miami and the food (and music) reminded me of home. I'm glad I decided to stop by today. Looking forward to trying other items on the menu.

    Okay! I was excited to try this restaurant due to all the positive reviews on Yelp. A few coworkers…read moreand I decided to go here for lunch on Thursday. Unfortunately, I was a little disappointed in my order. Just a note: if you plan on dining in, the restaurant does NOT have a large amount of seating so please keep that in mind. I ordered oxtails, rice and peas, cabbage, chicken patty and drink. The price listed on their website for oxtails is a higher price than what's listed on the menu inside their restaurant. While waiting on our food, two of us had to use the restroom which was out of order! I did ask the owner if we could go in. He said yes and temporarily fixed the issue with the toilet so we could use it. Was very happy about that. As for my food: the rice and peas were delicious, the oxtails were mediocre. The oxtails were under seasoned and fatty. The cabbage and patty were okay. All of my coworkers did enjoy their food selection. They decided to go with the curry chicken. If I decided to order from here again, I would order takeout and maybe jerk chicken or curry chicken or goat.

    Curry chicken was pretty good. Not sure it would be worth it to go back though. Also the customer…read moreservice was not great. When I walked in the restaurant was empty and the staff at the front but did not even say hello or what would you like when we walked in.. it was super awkward. She actually walked away when we were ready to order and we had to awkwardly place our order while they were standing several feet away and they barely acknowledged that they heard us. Very cold customer service. Probably would not go back or recommend solely based on that. Also the restaurant was very hot and not the easiest to find (it's on the second floor). One of the pros however is that the prices were reasonable and I like that they offered small, medium, large options. We got a medium and large curry chicken and could not tell the difference though

Lunch options are available from and include buffet and specialties including roti and buss up shup. A variety of meats and vegetable options are offered to accommodate all diet preferences. Everything is prepared fresh and customer service was exceptional. The owner was on site and even more lovely than the pictures on display throughout the restaurant showcasing the visitors of all status that frequent Tassa. Many were notable including one from one of my favorite cooking shows! All items ordered were delicious which included a curry goat roti, a vegetarian roti and six doubles. I had heard about doubles from Trinidadian friends, but do not recall experiencing personally. The couple in line before me ordered 10 and I was intrigued! Doubles consisted of chick peas and potatoes inside of a round pastry that resembled a flattened biscuit, but with much better flavor. The filling was available in varying levels from hot to a bit sweeter. I selected a mixture of the two for my personal ones. Others I bought were hotter for my heat loving partner. Extremely popular in the Caribbean culture and now, I know why. Parking is available in the rear of restaurant, and ample dining space in two rooms. I thoroughly enjoyed this visit to Tassa for reasons mentioned above. Service has always been exceptional and informative - I ask questions! Will definitely return again and again!

Instead, I received old, reheated white meat--huge, mushy breast pieces that tasted like they had been sitting around for days, reminiscent of something from a grocery store. My husband ordered the jerk chicken, which was bone dry and lacking flavor. I felt misled after driving from Suwanee based on the glowing reviews, especially since some enticing menu items, like oxtail Philly, were unavailable. When I inquired about the chicken, the staff claimed it was cooked to order, but I was served one leg alongside all white meat despite our discussion about dark meat. The service didn't help either; I didn't feel welcomed at all. It's unfortunate because good service can justify higher prices, but here it fell flat. I wouldn't recommend tipping, as you may encounter issues with your order. For anyone considering this place, I'd suggest Ovations in Gwinnett instead--much better quality and saves on gas!
