All Spice Catering

We had an event catered and everything was prepared COVID safe and the food was delicious! It got great reviews on our participants evaluation forms. Rich was easy, kind and efficient to work with! Will use again!

I had a pre-thanksgiving professional dinner and was communicating with another caterer who was taking forever in getting things finalized so a week before the event I decided it wasn't working and started looking for another caterer last minute. Allspice came up on the list and I called them and Richard was very quick in responding and literally what was taking me weeks with the other caterer took me a few hours to finalize and process with Allspice.

I needed halal Turkey and he even managed to call up a Muslim farm and arrange that too. In fact, the menu listing was more creative and larger than what I was working with earlier too and he had some good ideas of how to make it work nicely. The meals were in pre-packaged containers and were delivered on time and nice and hot, ready to serve and everything tasted great. My guests enjoyed the dinner. I would definitely recommend them and would use them again.

Great experience and delicious food. Website had very easy online ordering system and I was able to get a delicious catered brunch delivered quickly. Very responsive too, i'd highly recommend!

We never ordered for catering but have ordered the family meals several times. There is so much food for the price, you'll feel like you're not in Arlington (since everything is usually so expensive in Arlington). You will definitely have leftovers. All the food we have ordered has been delicious and the owner is so kind, helpful and accommodating.

We got the beef tips with rosemary potatoes family style meal. It was great! Our family of two adults and kids 8 and 6 ate it for 2 nights and still had some left over. Very enjoyable experience.

Allspice catered a party for us, and we could not have been more pleased. Their website is transparent about the options and pricing, their communication was prompt and helpful, the delivery was on time, the price was good, and most importantly, the food was delicious. We honestly are trying to find excuses to order from them again.

I hired this company for a birthday party event with heavy appetizers. They were fantastic to work with, from the first time I called. The service was prompt, friendly, and very helpful with helping me choose quantities and menu items. The delivery was timely, and well presented on the platters. I would hire these guys again without question!

My favorite caterer in Nova! Rich and his crew always deliver on time and the offices I call on are always happy with the lunch spread. Sandwiches and pasta are both excellent and the orzo is always a crowd favorite. Allspice has never turned away an order, even when I call last minute. Great option for pharma/medical reps when you need to impress an office during an in-service.

They just never responded with a quote. I followed up a few times and they said they would get me a quote soon every time but I never received one

Allspice catered my wedding and we couldn't have been happier. Before planning a wedding I didn't think food was the most important thing but it became clear from friends that went to other weddings that food is one area that stands out and the thing people remember about the reception. I reached out to a few caterers in Northern Virginia and before even getting a quote had a good feeling about Allspice.

I dealt mostly with the owner who answered all the questions my wife and I had and took a major burden off our shoulders. When we had the tasting we were impressed with all the dishes presented. The food that was served at the reception was perfect. At the beginning of the reception guests would say did you try the appetizers they're so good. We received many compliments from friends and family about how much they enjoyed the party and the food.

Not just the night of the event but weeks afterwards as well. Planning a wedding reception made my wife very anxious thankfully we had Allspice working with us to cater the food. I can't recommend All Spice enough. The catering is a major expense for a wedding reception and we were lucky to have found Allspice.

I was in a last minute pinch for a corporate event, and I live out of state. The owner answered the phone on the 3rd ring, took my order, made incredible suggestions in terms of taste and price. I had several orders. Everything was on time, the correct temperature, with all utensils, and everything needed. Portions are generous, and the food taste incredible to boot. I will be using them each time I am in the Arlington area.

They were terrific, well priced and the food very good. Party for 12 with heavy appetizers. They showed up on time, completely set up the food including sterno for hot dishes, trays, cards describing the dish/es, sauces, serving utensils and all with a nice presentation. Particularly liked the salmon endive boats, peanut saytee chicken, beef Wellington and caprese. Rich the owner is super nice to work with and can help you select dishes and quantities, does not oversell. Highly recommend for corporate or personal parties.

Great salads and sandwiches. Staff who remember your name and regular order even after you've been away a few weeks. Well worth the effort to find the front door! (off the plaza, behind the Sushi resturant).

I have never been disappointed from the lunch I've eaten from Allspice! Yesterday I had the pleasure of eating a catered breakfast from them that I organized! The food, from frittatas to fruit were delightful and got rave reviews from my all of the attendees. Working with Rich and his team to cater the event was smooth, easy, and without worry! Thank you, Rich Vizard for Allspice Cafe & Catering!

So glad we discovered this place! Great, inexpensive breakfast spot for anyone visiting DC on a budget.2 bagel breakfast sandwiches and 2 coffees for $13 and in my opinion, better tasting than Panera Bread! Only about a block from the metro station.

I used All Spice Catering to feed my hungry traveling film crew. Delivered right to our film location. All Spice had a nice variety of sandwiches and wraps so i could tailor a selection of good food to cover all the dietary needs of a 60 person crew. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten free food with plenty of flavor. I think our field producer said it best over the radio to all departments. "when you can, come get lunch cause these wraps are pretty epic!"

So delicious and finally a place that provides a good amount of food in a breakfast wrap! My favorite was the avocado breakfast sandwich. Wish I had gotten another!

I can only speak to one item on the menu that I get each and every time - the chicken hummus veggie pita - why mess with perfection? The hummus they make on site is so good, bit more of a smokey flavor, really unique and creamy - they also sell it in half pound containers and is a real crowd pleaser. Fresh veggies, healthy lunchtime sandwich, service is prompt and friendly. When I get my hair done nearby or have errands in the area, always try and fit in a visit to this place.

There are only 2 reasons why you should ever come to AllSpice for lunch. 1) If you work right next to the place and are feeling too lazy to go anywhere else and 2) because the people who work there are really great and friendly. Unfortunately, the food is poor to mediocre at best. I got the special sandwich of the day which sounded amazing - chicken breast marinated in cilantro marinade, pepperjack cheese, jalapeno spread, lettuce and tomato. Unfortunately, what I got was a super dry piece of chicken with absolutely no hint of cilantro and the "jalapeno spread" was mayonnaise with red pepper flakes mixed in. WHAT!? In short, come here for a mediocre salad when you don't want to walk over to Chop't or grab a bagel in the morning. Avoid sandwiches!

This place is my go-to in the rosslyn area for breakfast and lunch. Brie and the guy with the beard are super helpful and friendly. My favorites are the avocado hoagie, the deli salad with tuna/egg salad and sweet ginger dressing, and the sunrise breakfast wrap.

Found these folks to be very friendly when I went in. A couple of the guys there explained to me how the salad system works. Think chopt but $3-4 bucks cheaper per salad. You can do customized salads or pre selected. I tried the chicken Cobb special salad today. Ingredients very fresh, huge portions (at least as big as chopt as well if not larger) This will be my go to place for salads going forward.

I haven't tried the wraps or sandwiches yet but will in the future and update accordingly. Contrary to what the name implies, this is not a Indian restaurant. It's a deli / salad shop with a good amount of seating.

I suppose I am a glutton for punishment. I keep going back even though the food is average (and sometimes overdone) and I've never seen anyone behind the counter crack a smirk or smile. Today is the final straw -- a lightly toasted bagel turned out to be a stale rock with enough cream cheese to choke a horse. Done. The only reason it got a second star is for location. Convenience is, well, was king.

We got two breakfast sandwiches. They were unimpressive, especially for the price. Coffee was decent but they mostly had that terrible coffee mate creamer, no soy or almond milk.

What's not to love? Friendly service, fresh ingredients and good prices. Seating is both indoors or on a nice elevated patio that plays music in the summer time. For $8.00, I got a tasty warm wrap, drink and a bag of chips. Did I mention the service is fast as well? The menu offers great variety; sandwiches, wraps and salads, with a generous selection for all those picky eaters, (I'm a vegetarian), out there. I've also used their catering services and would highly recommend this small establishment to anyone.

Great salad and sandwich shop located in Rosslyn. Staff was very friendly and the line isn't long after 1:30. I loved the cucumber water they have. Plenty of seats and reasonable prices.

Coffee and food are fine, but I've never really felt welcome or appreciated in the year I've been coming here. The staff seems averse to ever saying hello. This morning in particular, the only words spoken at me were "name?" and "want a receipt?". I've also noticed that breakfast sandwiches are made in the microwave, which doesn't exude freshness. Lastly, it's not at all uncommon for the cashier to wear the gloves used for food prep to accept your payment, then go right back to making food. I've started going to the Gallery Market around the corner more often. It's more of a walk, but worth it if you like being greeted with a smile.

Great food and even better prices. Breakfast and drinks for family of 5 for under 30 bucks. Everything made fresh to order so you need to sit down but that isn't a bad thing.

A solid 4 stars. Fresh ingredients, fair prices, attentive staff, diverse menu. Great lunch place, especially in an area in Rosslyn with VERY limited options! I really don't dig their cafeteria like ambiance. My only suggestion to them would be to redecorate, rebrand, and become a little more spunky. Both time I came here, I enjoyed my chicken hummus pita and make your own salad.

All of the ingredients are very fresh and you can tell that their prepared ingredients are made in their kitchens. I will be back to try their hot meal options, specials, and soups. I'll also be recommending them as a caterer for my company's lunch meetings. Also, freshly baked cookies! Yum!

We have been coming here for a long time. It has switched management a few times but the food is awesome. The service is also great! We have used them for catering our events and they work with you on larger orders and discounted if you are a repeat customer. Ask for Richard and you are sure to get great service on catering. Food is fresh- they seem to make all their food right there and pretty quick too. Prices are comparable to others, if not cheaper. A gem of a place in Rosslyn. Will continue to come back for breakfast, lunch and catering our corp events.

Things I really like here: They remembered my name after only a handful of visits spread out over quite some time. The housemade hummus. The chicken veggie hummus pita. Probably the best thing I've had there. The BLT. But I'm a sucker for BLTs. The shrimp po'boy special. This or redfish po'boys are only found on Fridays. The soups of the day (at least 4 daily).

The spinach & cheese melt. The chicken sandwich special with the pepper jack, bacon, ranch. The chicken breast they use in everything is tender, marinated, and well seasoned. They have a mailing list you can sign up on their site where you can get the daily specials every morning. I work in the area, so I'm a subscriber. They also often have cookouts on Thursdays - burgers, etc, on the side yard, when it gets warm.

Open really late for lunch, but they put the soups away at 2. I think you can still order them though at the counter; it's just not self-serve after that time. Per their newsletter, as of April 30th, they will begin selling frozen vanilla yogurt (cup or cone) with several topping choices: fruit, nuts, chocolate and caramel sauces, Reese's Pieces, and Oreo crumbles.
