Wow, what an amazing meal and experience. While staying in Florida City during our National Parks visits, we visited Yardie Spice and had a wonderful meal.
Tiny place but very welcoming and lots of folks was a good sign. The vegan options were great and so flavorful.
Festivals were fried dough with just a hint of sweetness. Huge and perfect accompaniment to the spicy jerk tofu. The Vegetable empanada was massive and reminded us of an Indian samosa. The fried plantain was heavy and perfect with the spicy slaw. The jerk tofu was perfectly seasoned with a good kick. Portions were huge and unfortunately we were too full to try the coconut rum cake we had been eyeing.
In addition to the food, the service was so warm and friendly, we were made to feel like we were with friends at home.
The food was truly 5 star and we hope to find a reason to be back in the area just so we can visit again.
Highly recommend, especially for vegetarians/vegans that appreciate great flavors.

An absolute gem and a must visit when in South Florida! We stopped on the way to the Everglades to get some dinner to-go. The owner is so sweet, funny, and kind. She made us feel right at home!
We got the Jamaican patty, curry goat, and oxtail. Everything was delicious and cooked with love. The portions were very generous! We also got the juice of the day which was incredible. It had the perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and refreshing.

Was looking for some great food near Biscayne National Park, and what a gem we found. We had the best dinner for two nights in a row! We tried the conch fritters, curried goat, and Leon’s legume dish the first night, and seafood chowder, fish empanadas and finally chili salmon the second night. Coconut Rum cake and Passion fruit key lime pie, like everything else SOOO good! The service was warm and charming both the husband and wife would chat with us the whole evening making us feel like family. If you are in this town and miss this place, you just lost a great meal!

It’s my first time trying Jamaican food. I ordered combo 1 ( jerk chicken, rice, salad, plantain). My husband ordered the brown chicken stew. Our son ordered the curry goat. We also ordered fresh mango juice. Everything was delicious. The owners were friendly and down to earth. We were too full to try dessert, but the rum cake did look delicious. This is definitely on our list for future visits to the area.

Love the food at this local spot. It’s tiny and feels like a hole-in-the-wall with only a few tables and counter space, but it’s cute and clean. Food is LEGIT, we’ve had all the jerk chicken, pork and tofu here and it’s flavorful and spicy. Peas and rice are perfect. Locally owned and operated by a very sweet duo! This place is full when we go. Loved the vibe!

We loved our experience at Yardie Spice! The owner was such a great server and host. It felt as if we were sitting down to have a meal in her home! We loved how she went through the menu with us and gave us her recommendations! She was so personable and kind. The food was perfectly spiced! We had the conch fritters and they were very flavorful being crispy and yet creamy on the inside! Our goat curry was perfectly tender and the rice was so beautifully spiced! My favorite part were the juices! You have to try both the hibiscus and the mango turmeric they were show stoppers!!!

I would give this 10 stars if I could. I stumbled onto this via a google search. I was looking for vegan food in Homestead. The food was good but the people who own it-Rochelle and JP are wonderful. They are welcoming and very interesting to talk to. They were very interested in making sure that our food was good. Definitely stop here!
