Visited Spice House Thursday for happy hour. It was not happy. The appetizers tasted like they were rewarmed and reserved. We had the wings, oxtail eggrolls, and spice eggrolls. They were not good at all. I don't know what happened. However, the customer service from May was Awesome tho!! The ambiance was nice.

I found this place on Yelp while traveling through Atlanta. It's a restaurant, club, bar, and hookah lounge. I had the Kingston Jerk Chicken, with red beans and rice, cabbage and vegetables. It was amazing! Great portions, and I ate most of it before I gave up. So good! The service is excellent, and the ambiance is very laid back, yet happy and festive.

Last Inspection of 73

My Mom & I got the WORST food poisoning we've ever had -- all from Mother's Day brunch @ Spice House Lithonia. Severe abdominal pain for DAYS and all. BOTH households went to the doctor. BOTH diagnosed w/ food poisoning. Ordered stool culture. Advised to file a complaint with the Health Department. Talked w/ management, who RUDELY tried to mention a flawless kitchen, so I researched: This "restaurant" recently had a HEALTH SCORE OF 49. Not a 79. Not a 69. ....... A 49. *** FORTY. NINE. **** Can't get Health Inspection above the 70s in 2026. My mother had the Mother's Day Lobster Pasta special. I had the Rasta Pasta. I only took ONE bite of her dish. She never touched mine. We BOTH got sick. And the damage didn't stop there. The sickness was so bad my father had to cancel the rest of our Mother's Day plans that evening. Also, Mother's Day concert tickets for that Monday? Missed. Non-refundable tickets wasted because too sick to attend. Complete lack of accountability from management. I spoke with the manager, Tim, calmly asking for ONE thing: refund the FOOD only. Not the drinks. Not the gratuity. Waitress was excellent and I still tipped ~40%. Total bill was around $174. I'm always a big tipper so this isn't someone wanting a check. Tim became defensive, dismissive, and completely unprofessional. He repeatedly interrupted me, asked questions then REFUSED to let me answer them, cursed while discussing staff issues, and actually said things like, "Well if you were REALLY sick, why didn't you go to the doctor?" Sir... it had only been a lil more than ONE FULL DAY. We went the NEXT DAY after that. Then he claimed nobody else complained. But after asking publicly, multiple people reported getting sick after the Mother's Day brunch too. Some even pointed me towards other discussions online. When I tried showing him? He walked away mid-conversation. I've eaten here many times for the Thursday crab leg nights. The food often tastes good, but they constantly run out of items, and looking back, I've gotten mysteriously sick more than once after eating there and could never pinpoint the source until now. That's the dangerous part!!!!!!!!!!!!! ****The food CAN taste good while still being improperly handled.**** Tim claimed their inspections were "flawless", which made me look them up and see that is objectively false. Anyone can look up DeKalb County Board of Health inspection records and see that this restaurant has struggled badly with health scores. A 49 health score is not "one bad night." That's a PATTERN. I tried to resolve this PRIVATELY and peacefully. Instead I got denial, DISRESPECT, and zero accountability after they made my MAMA sick on Mother's Day. At this point, with:Medical diagnoses.Documented symptoms.Multiple similar complaints.Poor health inspection history.And management refusing accountability... ...this is starting to look less like a private complaint and more like a PUBLIC, NEWS-WORTHY health issue. Spice House --this situation is FAR from over.

Decent meal and quality service! The ambiance was clean and this spot has a good vibe. Will be coming back again for another delicious meal

Rasta Pasta
Kayla B.

Service was good, food took forever to come out but overall the food was good whenever it did come out. Drinks were good but pricey for $16.

Parking is tight. You can pay for valet parking closer to the door. The ambiance was nice. Of course there is hookah and a DJ. My cousin and I sat at the bar. The bartenders were very nice. My Rasta pasta came out dry and the bartender returned it to the kitchen to get it fixed for me. I'm said the Cascade road location isn't coming back. I don't know how many times I will drive to Lithonia for my favorite Rasta pasta. The Midtown location is a no for me.

Jerk chicken Lunch

I've been a fan of spice house for years and I'm so glad they decided to open a location in Lithonia. This was hands-down the best location out of the three that I've tried in the metro Atlanta area. I came in on a Friday during lunch and was greeted by the staff immediately and ordered the Jerk Chicken lunch special. The food was so delicious especially the cabbage it had so much flavor and spice and the chicken was cooked perfectly. Highly recommend you come and get this dish and have a taste of the authentic flavors.

Mac & Cheese. Looks good. Was just ok to me.
Willie M.

Service was good. Ambiance is good. Well decorated. The food was ok to me. Nothing to brag about. It maybe different for you. It's kind of a bar/club as well. Guess that's why it's also had lounge in its name ‍

Rasta Pasta Dinner
Ashaa O.

Second Time coming here, I ordered salmon with mashed & broccoli and Wings with macaroni. Both meals were around $32 the wings was a good portion and taste great, The salmon was different from the last time I had it , wasn't too please with the type of salmon they used it was very small and the portion overall was very small considering the price. Other than that the taste was pretty good my only complaint is the salmon type and the portion.

Spice House Lithonia is a small restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere. WARNING: The parking is very limited and there is a cover charge of $10. My friends and I went to check out the live band. We were offered the opportunity to reserve seats online for free, so I reserved three. Well, don't waste your time because the seating was nothing like the layout online. The available tables were created for two guests, which was disappointing. We had to sit all the way in the back of the restaurant, however, the elevated positioning allowed us a clear view of the band. We ordered oxtail egg rolls and shrimp for appetizers, which were pretty good. My friends ordered a seafood bowl and salmon with broccoli and mashed potatoes. They stated that the entrées were okay and that the broccoli was bland. On a brighter note, the band was amazing, and the lighting effects were very entertaining! I would return to Spice House Lithonia to enjoy the live music, but it's not my new favorite spot.

My experience with this establishment was extremely disappointing. The communication from…read moremanagement was very unprofessional and disorganized. I was given a start date, only to later find out that the establishment was actually closed that day. No one from management informed me. I had to go out of my way to contact another owner whose number I found on Instagram just to be told the place was closed. Situations like this show a serious lack of organization and respect for people's time. If management cannot properly communicate something as basic as whether the business is open, it raises concerns about how the establishment is run overall. I also noticed that most of the reviews here appear to be from several years ago, which makes me question whether the current experience reflects what customers can expect today. Based on my experience, I would encourage others to do their research before choosing to support this business.

We got the homemade chicken tenders (not pictured because it was too good to photograph), and the chicken egg rolls which were big enough to get full off of just one roll. I enjoyed the sauce that came with the egg rolls, it paired well with the ingredients inside . If you don't feel like sitting inside they also do delivery ! If you haven't tried Luxor Lounge yet this is your sign to go.

We visited Voss Lounge on Wednesday, April 1, excited for happy hour after seeing their Instagram flyer advertising $5 drinks, small apps, and hookah. Well...that's not exactly what we got. Once we arrived, we were told those $5 specials were actually for Tuesdays--not Wednesdays--and that detail was not clear on Instagram. I was told it was listed on their website, but let's be real...this is 2026--people are checking IG and TikTok, not websites. If you're promoting on social media, it needs to be accurate. We got there around 4:15 PM (happy hour starts at 4), and the place was empty--music wasn't even on yet. My party of four was seated right away, and we ordered drinks, food, and hookah. The lounge itself was beautiful--decked out in red and black with a really nice vibe. I had lemon drops and wings--both were actually really good. No complaints on the food or drink at all. But just know, the wings were not $5 since that special didn't apply that day. Now...the hookah experience? A complete mess. The hookah wasn't $5 either--it was $25 if I recall correctly. The hookah attendant recommended a flavor that was honestly not good at all. When we told her we didn't like it and asked to switch flavors (which we were willing to pay for), she tried to make us purchase a refill instead of simply fixing the issue. We asked to speak to a manager. She went to the back and spoke with someone who I later found out was the owner--but he never came out to address us. That alone didn't sit right with me. Instead, she came back, grabbed the hookah, and walked off. No explanation, no replacement--nothing. It felt like, "We won't charge you, but you're also not getting another one." That whole situation completely turned us off. Now I will give credit where it's due--our waitress was an absolute sweetheart. Friendly, attentive, and she did her best to take care of us. But overall, between the misleading Instagram promotion, the poor hookah experience, and the lack of management presence...this just wasn't it for me. Giving Voss 2/5 for good food, a beautiful space, and a great waitress Everything else? Needs work. Unfortunately, I won't be back!

I visited Harold's for the second time and unfortunately had a very different experience than my…read morefirst visit. Let me start with the positives: the food was good, the atmosphere was beautiful, and our server was pleasant and did her best during what appeared to be a very busy playoff night. The restaurant was crowded, so I understand delays can happen. The issue came when my boyfriend received a Long Island Iced Tea that did not taste right. He stirred it, took a few sips to test it, and then brought it to the bar to ask about it. He was instructed to wait for his server. By the time she returned, some time had passed and the ice had naturally begun to melt. The server agreed the drink appeared watered down and went to get a manager. Unfortunately, the interaction with management was where the experience went downhill. Before fully listening to the situation, the manager immediately became defensive and repeatedly stated that "all drink sales are final" and that this was how the drink was measured and prepared. As someone with over 20 years of management experience, I understand that not every complaint results in a refund or replacement. However, customer service starts with listening and understanding the concern before responding. A simple conversation, explanation, or even a professional acknowledgment of our concern would have gone a long way. What disappointed me was not the drink itself--it was the way the situation was handled. Good customer service can often turn a problem into a positive experience. Unfortunately, the manager's approach made us feel dismissed rather than valued as customers. We spent nearly $100 during our visit and paid the additional service charge that is automatically added to checks. Combined with the valet and parking fees being charged that evening, we expected a higher level of customer care. I still believe Harold's is a beautiful establishment with good food and a great atmosphere. My hope is simply that management takes customer concerns more seriously and approaches situations like this with professionalism and respect.

Once the dj arrived, the music blasted which kind of interrupted the chill vibe but all in all we had a great time.

There were times were drink and food orders never showed but once we let them know items were missing, they apologized and would be back shortly with the items.

The nachos were reallllly good and there was nothing lacking in terms of ingredients. My husband got the loaded shrimp quesadilla and he loved it. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meal and several folks talked about how good their margaritas were.

Not that large that I would think it's a lounge, more like a bar or pub. You have to scan to pull up the menu and immediately there's no wine or drink menu. Princess our waitress suggested the wine daiquiris which was a mix of strawberry and mango. It was overly sweet and couldn't even taste any wine, so my friend didn't even drink hers. The "tapas" menu was only like 4 things to choose from, we expected much more. We had honey lemon pepper wings, jerk salmon bites first. I then ordered after asking if they do Buffalo with lemon pepper since that wasn't an option wings. That's an extra 75 cents to make what is a common wing flavor. So they are setting up birthday parties, while we are wrapping up. This location opened October 2022, and we were told by our waitress that brunch was better and more options. We automatically charged gratuity although it was only 2 of us and we weren't told until we had to pay. The music was so loud we had to ask for it to be turned down so we could hear and talk. There was no one there but the employees because they had no customers. With all the plazas around it was hard to find this place, even the employees order food from Uber instead of eating here.
