This restaurant’s name speaks for itself-The Soul Spot- literally feeds your soul. Seldom do I come across a meal that feels like a hug to your soul. The smell alone made my mouth water! 10/10 from flavor to a HUGE portion size. The woman serving me was so sweet and explained every option to me. Will be craving this place forever now! Thank you!!

My friend and I decided to check out this restaurant while they were in town. We were really impressed with the jerk chicken; it was cooked almost perfectly and tasted amazing. The service was also excellent – the staff was friendly and our order came out quickly. The prices were reasonable too. Just a heads up: it's a cash-only establishment, but there's an ATM available outside.

*Halal food* The food is really delicious, and while I had a it a few times today's meat batches (jerk and oxtail) were a bit too salty to our liking. We will definitely return, and hope the food will be less salty like previous times.

I’ve had quite a few soul food spots here in New York City, and this has been the best one so far! Every bit of the plate you could taste the love and care that went into the food, and that’s the most important ingredient in soul food, love! This food is also halal and contains no pork which makes it accessible to the Islamic community. I’m a chef from Kentucky so I know soul food when I see it, and this place embodies that taste! The yams tasted like candy bathed in butter, yet I could tell there wasn’t an unhealthy amount of sugar added to them, AMAZING! The curry goat was succulent and tender yet well flavors. The Mac and cheese, y’all the MAC AND CHEESE, was to die for. Best Mac and cheese I’ve had up here and closest to what I enjoy from home. The only dish I wasn’t too fond of was the peach cobbler, and really only because I make mine with more peaches and less crust.

The one and only halal Southern soul food & Caribbean spot in Brooklyn. Soul Spot’s serving size and its fall off the bone tender deliciousness has everyone coming back for more. From the moment you walk in the aroma hits you right away. From the oxtail, jerk chicken and bbq beef ribs everything was super succulent and very tender. Their candied yams had the perfect amount of sweetness. So many sides to choose from. Had to get their baked mac and cheese, sweet corn and mashed potatoes. The plating was A1. Can’t forget their corn bread with a side of their homemade ice teas! I’m telling y’all you can taste the love in each bite!

Delicious and satisfying. Had the oxtail with rice and mashed potatoes, came with a piece of cornbread which was like eating cake. They have 2 tables with 2 chairs each available for outside dining. The oxtail just melts in my mouth with dripping oil and curry- be careful when opening the plastic lid as it splat out. The rice was a good base, had some beans in there. The mashed potatoes were creamy. Tasted fresh and was a good temperature. Will be coming back to try more!

This place is AMAZING. First and foremost food is halal! Restaurants diversifying halal cuisines in NYC are always welcome ! They have a huge hot display of a variety of classic Caribbean/ southern soul remixes. I ordered chicken 2 ways and my cousin ordered the fried chicken. The chicken was succulent and flavorful while maintaining juiciness! The sides (Mac and cheese , tostinas, okra) were filling and well made as well. My only complaint is I receive the same type of chicken when I ordered two different types. 😢 Would love to see this expand as a restaurant for family dining.

I was really looking forward to this plate, but unfortunately I was disappointed. The flavor was decent, and the presentation looked good at first glance, but there was barely any meat on the bones. It felt like I paid mostly for bone and two sides rather than an actual portion of food. For the price, I expected a more generous serving with enough meat to actually enjoy the dish. I hope the restaurant considers being more consistent with portion sizes, because the taste had potential — it just didn’t feel worth it.

I hate to leave a negative review so I’ll start off by saying the Mac and cheese and collard greens were BOMB! I’d order again just for those. But that catfish left me so disappointed. I’ve been eating catfish all my life and never have I thought it didn’t taste good until today, I don't know if the fish is old or what but that was not good fish, the taste was very off.

The food was delicious and tasty. The portions were okay. However, the cornbread was very small. The cashier with the bonnet on was a little rude. She did not give the best customer service. The lady serving the food was friendly. This was my first time here. I asked for dessert, but them did not have any. Desserts are on the menu. I am skeptical about coming here again.

Ordered for pickup because it said delivery, 5 blocks away to my hotel, was too far. Food was done on time, but the lamb chop was the only thing that came out as expected. The black eyed peas with rice were more like Caribbean rice and peas vs the traditional style. It was hard to discern if it was in fact salmon in the croquettes because it was overpowered by sweet mashed potatoes. The jollof was okay but the stuffing tasted like they used the leftover cornbread, it was so sweet it could have been dessert. It was just totally not the style I expected when it said "soul" because we don't even have the words to say what was wrong with the green beans but I miss seasonings and flavor.

We tried a little bit of alot of different foods. We love that we could come to New York and find Halal soul food ♡ The food was good. Was I crazy about it and can't wait to go back, not really. But the food was good. Definitely worth trying! The oxtail is good, it has a little spice kick to it, the bbq chicken was ok, my friend had the baked chicken and ribs and said it was good. I think she enjoyed the food more than me. Now the mac n cheese, greens and yams, was really good. That's worth coming back for, if you come that's a must. Also, let me know what your favorite dish is if you go here!

This is what they sold me for $16 out of my hard earned money. I just wanted a dinner meal not a plate full of oil, gravy. The meatloaf wasn’t even that grate, I bit into something in it. The whole experience was horrible. Rushed me to make an order and to choose.
