Taste of Jamaica

Was really wanting Jamaican food and I found this place on Yelp. Discovered that it's takeout only but that was my plan anyway. The place is small and quaint. The service was pleasant. We placed our orders and was told it would be ready in 15-20 mins. It actually took over 45 minutes. I would suggest calling to place order prior to coming. We ordered Oxtails with red beans and rice, cabbage, and plantains. My boyfriend ordered the brown stewed chicken. After waiting 30 minutes I was advised they were out of the red beans and rice and they substituted for plain white rice. The plus side, the food was still hot when we got home 20 mins later. Having said that, the food was underwhelming and left much to be desired. It would have been nice to at least get a taste of Jamaica. This is likely my one and only visit.

Curry Shrimp and patties are the Best!!! Everything is tasteful and you can tell it's made with love. Their patience and kindness with customers makes it even more worth the stop.

The few Caribbean eatery in the area and this place sure delivers a taste delicacy of Caribbean delight. Definitely my go to place.

I had the oxtail, pea and rice, cabbage with fry plantains and it was so delicious the meat was falling off the bone the flavor was on point. I highly recommend a Taste of Jamaica for athletic Jamaica food.

Did is good and at a decent price. The staff is friendly. I don't think they want people to dine in, just pick up and go. I've been 2x since the pandemic and the chairs are always on the tables.

Me and friend Lolita arrived in Raleigh Durham for our annual trip to the Marcus Anderson Jazz and Coffee Escape. The guy at the rental car counter suggested this place as a great place to eat so we stopped by on the way to the hotel. The place was small with another room with about 8 tables but the smiles were big. My girlfriend Lolita lit up when she seen they had sorrell. A hibiscus tea drink. Dark pink like the flower. She said it was good. It must have been because there was little left and the cucumber refresher was sold out. My girlfriend ordered curry chicken and I ordered jerk chicken. All plates come with steamed cabbage, plantains and rice and peas. Decently priced and huge portions. I spied the oxtails but decided for the jerk chicken because I was thinking I wouldn't get a lot. WRONG! The portions are huge!Got to the hotel and food was still hot. It smelled so good that we started eating before even getting our luggage out of the car!One thing, if a business is small but you have popular items such as the sorrell drink, make sure there is plenty of it or ready to refill.Food - 5Service - 4Cleanliness - 3Friendliness - 4

Great food! Authentic and fresh at an affordable price. There are very little true Jamaican restaurants in the area, so this is a gem.

Absolutely thrilled to have access to authentic Jamaican food right here in Cary! Taste of Jamaica delivers a genuine culinary experience with rich, flavorful dishes that transport you straight to the island. The jerk chicken is perfectly seasoned, the oxtail is tender and succulent, and the patties are a must-try. The portions are generous, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. If you're looking for a true taste of Jamaica, this place is a gem! Highly recommend!

My wife and I was in the mood for some Caribbean food, found the place on the internet, and it did not disappoint. She had to curry chicken & I had the jerk chicken a when you add the little cup of jerk seasoning it kicks it up a notch. When ever I'm in this area again the oxtails is a must try. The Mason's

If you like jamaican food but are stuck in cary, this place is the next best thing. It is a hole-in the-wall restaurant in a nondescript street mall with no indoor service. There is a variety of traditional dishes but I love the brown stew chicken, cabbage, with rice and peas. It's relatively inexpensive. They apparently make only what they expect to sell each day so sometimes run out but you know it's fresh.
