Jamaican Restaurants near Cary, NC

“If you're searching for an unforgettable taste of the islands, look no further. This Caribbean gem offers an explosion of flavor and authenticity that transports your senses straight to Jamaica with every bite.

I recently indulged in a hearty plate featuring curry goat, oxtail, cabbage, and rice & peas, and I was thoroughly impressed. The curry goat was incredibly tender, falling apart effortlessly, infused with a deep, rich curry flavor that speaks to hours of careful preparation and seasoning. Equally outstanding was the oxtail ; truly to die for, with a slow-cooked depth that bursts with bold, savory Caribbean spices.

The cabbage was a pleasant surprise: perfectly cooked, subtly seasoned, and providing a fresh balance to the richness of the meats. Paired with fluffy, fragrant rice and peas, this meal hit every note; comforting, satisfying, and utterly delicious.

Portions were generous, easily justifying the $30 price tag, and the value was matched by the warm, welcoming service. The shopkeep was incredibly friendly, offering genuine hospitality and a smile that made the experience feel even more like home. You can tell she really cares about the food that was made.

This is food made with love, heritage, and serious culinary skill. If I closed my eyes, I could almost hear the waves of the Caribbean Sea and feel the warmth of the Jamaican sun.

I highly recommend this establishment to anyone craving authentic Caribbean cuisine. It’s a five-star experience through and through. Thank you, I'll absolutely be back and can’t wait to try the jerk chicken next!“

“Me and my cousin was in Durham from Goldsboro and decided to try them out was craving Jamaican food. Was skeptical at first but the food was really good especially the cabbage NEVER change your recipe on them. I had jerk chicken not spicy at all though good but where is the spice? Jerk chicken should have some kick to it! Plantains were great oxtails were alright just ran out so I didn’t get much and I personally love thicker ox tails but I understand most places only serve the small flat ones. My cousin said the salmon was good but dry but flavored well and the pork chop was also dry and ok. I liked the macaroni and cheese it was pretty good. Overall I would eat here again it was worth it to me to dine again!“
