"Outstanding Jamaican takeout in a strip-mall by the DMV" Came here on a Saturday at 6:15pm- about 4 other people were waiting for food (likely takeout). The restaurant was bright with 7 small tables that seat 2-4, and a few photos or bits of artwork. The lady behind the counter was periodically yelling (not in an aggressive way- just FYIs) either to the kitchen or to people waiting. If you didn't order ahead, one orders their food at a tablet by the door and then their order number is called. As we awaited our food, the place really filled in with a line at the counter. I confess it got really loud and distracting in there. I ordered the jerk chicken platter, with rice & beans (it said "peas" but it was black beans) and sweet potatoes, with jerk sauce on the chicken and oxtail sauce on the rice & beans. My girlfriend got the mac & cheese and a veggie patty. Our food was ready in about 20 minutes. It was a HUGE quantity, and outstanding quality! The chicken was soft-- so much so that I could eat it ok with even a plastic fork and knife (though metal would have been better-- again, takeout is the better choice). The jerk sauce had some zing but not overwhelming heat, and the flavor was excellent-- good sweetness and excellence. The rice and beans with oxtail sauce was also phenomenal. And the sweet potatoes were rich and delightful. My girlfriend was happy with her food too. The staff there were friendly, but they were SUPER busy with the many orders coming in. The price was great, too-- under $40 for us both, and I was STUFFED at the end. Overall, outstanding food. The setting is chaotic, so I'd say 3-stars if you eat-in but 5-stars for takeout. I'll happily come back for takeout, and I HIGHLY recommend. read more

The food here is soooooo good. I got a large portion of the brown stew chicken with rice & peas and mac & cheese. $20 for the chicken with 2 sides, and a $3 upcharge for the mac & cheese. The chicken is dark meat served on the bone - and by on the bone, I mean falling off the bone, it's so tender and moist. There are also some carrots and potato bits in the gravy, and I would happily eat a whole bowl of just those. The rice and peas (beans) were perfectly cooked. When I ordered through the Toast tab screens they have set up, it gave the option of indicating whether and how much gravy you'd like on the rice. I did the standard amount, which I think is just right, as the rice balances out the saltiness of the gravy. The mac & cheese was also really good - creamy, with some chewy baked cheese crust, and a hint of tanginess. The large portion was a ton of food. I shared my plate with my toddler, who loved the chicken, and it would be enough for at least one more meal. I also got a chicken patty, which had a curried chicken filling that brought a bit of heat. Too spicy for little kids, but not so spicy that I was hurting from eating it. We ate in the restaurant, which is clean with several tables. It's counter service, and it seems like they pack everything as if it's to go, even if you dine in. For folks with kids, they do have a single high chair. I don't remember seeing a changing table in the ladies room. read more

Angies Jamaican Grill - Brown Stew Chicken - Caribbean Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

My son and I were in the mood for Jamaican food and we stumbled across this wonderful spot, in an unassuming strip center. Let me tell you, nothing about this place was unassuming or basic... IT WAS INCREDIBLE. From the service (warm , helpful & friendly) to the perfectly cooked food. We were impressed! Best curried goat I've ever eaten and the jerk chicken is done as it should be! Whether you get the rice and peas or the yellow rice, you can't go wrong bc both were fantastic and full of flavor. The collard greens had SO MUCH FLAVOR, I could eat a big bowl by itself! We can't wait to come back and get the oxtails and some other menu items, I think we will be very happy with anything they cook here! read more

Wow, I did not expect Angies to be as good as it was! I managed to snag an order through Too Good To Go, so it was already a good value for money. My plate had curry chicken (flavorful & super tender- literally fall off the bone! also had carrots & potatoes), cabbage (still crunchy & had a nice mix of peas, corn, & carrots), and rice & beans. Good portion size. Service was fast. Ambiance is fine, a couple of indoor tables. There's a large parking lot. 10/10 would recommend! read more

Angies Jamaican Grill - Curry chicken - Caribbean Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

I noticed this place next to the DMV. I hadn't heard of it before. I checked the reviews and decided to give it a shot. I love Jamaican flavors and make it at home. I tried the jerk chicken, rice and peas, and steamed cabbage. The ordering process was easy, the cashier friendly and helpful and the food was out promptly. They seem to have a lot of carry out business, but also have a very nice, clean dining area. I would definitely go out of my way to eat there again. There is plenty of parking. read more

This was my second time getting food from Angie's and the first time I had a phenomenal jerk pork sandwich but this time I got the brown stew chicken which was so delicious. The portions seemed heavy but it was mostly heavy on the rice and peas and the collards. I wished there was a bit more chicken. Either way the chicken was seasoned to the bone and the rice and peas was perfectly cooked. read more

Stumbled upon this place after searching for something to eat on google. I've heard about them but never been before. When we arrived it was packed inside. We ordered at the kiosk and waited in the car until we got our text message. Food was ready in about 20 minutes. Everything was fresh, hot, and sooo delicious. It's a family owned business and everyone was so nice. We ordered the oxtails for $26 and the curry goat for $19 read more

Angies was my little secret for about 6 months and I completely forgot to review them. The first time I tried their food I immediately knew they were easily the best Caribbean spot in the Raleigh/Durham area. The food was SO good, portions were big, they are one of the only places with an actually great mac and cheese, and the staff was really friendly. The oxtail is so flavorful and has the perfect amount of everything. They are my favorite oxtails I have tried at a restaurant here actually. The rice is also so good- it is cooked in coconut water and has such a good flavor to it that goes with the food. However this past time I ordered I did not taste it so I'm not sure if they stopped doing that. The rasta pasta is just as good as everyone says. It's definitely enough to split between 2-3 meals or people, and they are very generous with how much oxtail they give you. The whole dish was a 10000/10. Recently, Angies went viral, which is great for them! I would give them some grace as it is probably hard to handle this amount of traffic now. The restaurant used to be fairly empty, they always answered the phone, and the food came out fast. This past weekend I placed an order online and it told me it would take 45 minutes, then when coming in 45 minutes later it took an additional 31 minutes. They also never picked up my calls when I kept trying to check in with how much longer it would take. The restaurant was extremely packed. Also, I ordered curry chickpeas and got curry chicken. I didn't realize until I got home unfortunately. If you want to eat here now I recommend really planning for it but I think the food is well worth it. read more

A friend and I made a good-sized takeout order a few days before Christmas 2024. IT WAS AMAZING. I think we ended up with everything except snapper, and it was all delicious, and the ladies were very sweet and helpful. The oxtails and mac n cheese *might* have been the most popular overall, but everything was good, and I personally was a big fan of their goat curry. Delicious and very generous portions -- important when feeding a crowd! A+++! read more

Very disappointed today. I placed a pick up order today for collard greens, jerk chicken, macaroni and cheese, and a side of plantains. I was very disappointed when I arrived home and opened my container and find out they've given me cabbage instead of collards. Also, I ordered the large plate and the portions were small, smaller than I've ever had before. Both the plantains and jerk chicken were burnt, everything was exceptionally greasy. I won't be going back to Angie's anytime soon. read more

We came in for a to-go order and had the curry chickpeas and curry chicken with rice and peas and cabbage. I really loved the flavorful chicken and chickpeas. The rice tasted like coconut milk. The staff was really friendly, the restaurant was clean and I thought the portions were generous. read more

This place is the truth for Jamaican Cuisine in Durham, NC... I was there this pass weekend for a soul line dance event. My friend Reka had ordered for delivery to our hotel the exact plate in photo and shared it with me on Friday night... well my last day before flying back to San Diego California I decided I had to stop by and get the exact same plate for dine in. OMG Angie's food is consistently delish... They are truly Jamaican... she had her family in there work... roti, plantain, patties, rice and peas to name a few.... Will definitely return to this spot for delicious Jamaican meal....i even had leftovers for late night meal after I returned home read more

Angie's needs some more yelp reviews to do it justice. Came for the first time today and I can assure you that it won't be the only time! The service was spectacular. The young lady at the register always made sure everyone's wants were accommodated for even when running low on a certain dish. I ordered the curry chicken and was generously given two jerk chicken legs because the chicken in the curry was running low. I was secretly so happy to be able to try both and I can't pick a favorite! The ambience is nice and simple. Not really set up for indoor dining, but that's ok, because this food at home makes for the perfect night in. read more

Angies Jamaican Grill - Jerk chicken and curry chicken - Caribbean Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

For a small business , didn't get a greeting which was okay. We asked for a menu and the guy just walked over to the LED screen they had and just turned it on and just stood there like so "matter of fact". The food was kind of mid. read more

Loved this place. The Jamaican jerk chicken was seasoned perfectly and the meat fell right off the bones. I loved that the medium came with two sides and would recommend their Mac and cheese and cabbage slaw. It's so good and so much food! read more

I used their kiosk inside to order for takeaway. I got the Oxtail with rice and beans, and my friend got the goat curry! I was recommended to get extra sauce with Oxtail and it was the correct move. The meat fell off the bone and was juicy! The goat was a bit too salty for my liking, but it still had a lot of flavor. read more

I've been hearing great things about the oxtail from Angie's and now I know why people are rushing to get some before they sell out. The oxtail with rice and peas (with extra gravy) is a must order. Honestly, the curry goat and the jerk chicken were not far behind in terms of flavor and tenderness. The sauce that they put over the jerk chicken was incredible! And I KNOW, how y'all feel about Jamaican's Mac and cheese but I was pleasantly surprised by Angie's Mac and cheese. Lastly, I loved the beef patties, which I'm kind of a snob about because I can't stand a barely filled beef patty. I can't wait to go back and try more from them. P.S. this storefront is right next to a DMV so don't be alarmed if you see a line outside if you go during the afternoon. read more

Angies Jamaican Grill - Oxtail - Caribbean Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

Located in the same strip mall as the Durham DMV, Angie's Jamaican Food is a hidden gem that deserves more recognition!! I came by for lunch on a weekday and the place was totally empty. There is limited seating (only small two seater tables though they can certainly be pieced together) but the restaurant is clean and spacious. Love the plants and wall art! Service was polite and fast. We got the oxtail with mac n cheese and rice and peas. This was pricy but phenomenal. I don't order oxtail much but this was the tastiest oxtail I've ever had at a restaurant. Generous portions, rich sticky sauce, and meat so tender it falls off the bone. Not a drop of sauce went to waste, absorbed by the rice and peas, which had the perfect fluff and chew. The mac and cheese was flavorful and the noodles weren't too mushy. I don't know if it was worth the extra $ to me, but it was delicious nonetheless. We also ordered the large jerk chicken with cabbage and rice and peas. The chicken was well cooked and SO well seasoned, and paired so well with the coconut-y cabbage and the rice. They put what felt like a whole chicken in that plate, it was so heavy. I also ordered a beef patty. It was a good size and very flavorful, though it was less flaky than I expected. Still, I liked the soft and tasty filling. I'm so sad I didn't discover this place earlier! I'll definitely be back to try their other plates. read more

Got this delivery, was just the right amount after a workout. Literally no complaints - food was amazing. The whole thing had a great coconut aroma. I could taste the coconut water in the rice, which I've never had before. Meat was fall off the bone tender and super flavorful. Will be back! read more

Authentic food from home, friendly staff. Meals are freshly made and always delicious!

Kind service and good portions. The coco bread was hot and fresh. I'd return if I were in the area

I love this place. We have sorely needed good Jamaican food in this area and this place dishes it out daily. The jerk chicken is on point and the brown stew chicken is a generous portion of chicken on the bone with carrots and potato. The rice and peas are a bit saltier than I'm used to, but just fine, especially with the brown stew gravy. Still haven't tried the oxtails, though I suspect they are similar. I like that they also sell some packaged Jamaican baked goods right from Jamaica. The spice bun is huge and delicious. Buy one, take it home and slather it with cream cheese. You may never want a bagel again. I only wish they had ackee and saltfish, but I guess that's a bit too "exotic" for this area. Despite this, run, do not walk, for some great Jamaican food at Angie's. But leave some for the rest of us. read more

5 stars for the food 5 stars for the smile. The girl said she was the daughter of the mother to another customer so I'm guessing the owner. I'm not sure Everyone inside was waiting in their food. I'm not sure if it's a phone call or a text BUT when I walked in the power was blinking in and off and the machine to place the order automatically was DOWN. So I get in line at the counter to place my order but was late and everyone order was taking about an hour. The lady calls the phone number and finds out they double made the order and she already has her food. So she said next in line if you want this order I will discount it!!! I take it and it was delicious!!! ox tails brown chicken stew, yaws, greens rice ALL GOOD the inside is crowded withnpeople waitibg and staribg. get your food to go not a goodnplace to sit and eat. read more

The food at Angie's Jamaican Grill is authentic Jamaican cuisine! This is exactly what I was looking for while in Raleigh, NC. I ordered the curry chicken with rice & peas along with collard greens. The chicken was tender and fell right off the bone. I could taste the curry flavor in every bite and the rice and peas were cooked fully through. My husband ordered the Oxtails, plantains and beef patty and he loved them as well. I had a small taste of the oxtails and they were juicy, tender and flavored to perfection. We ordered the small plate and it was a pretty big portion of food. The service was friendly, quick, and the venue was clean. Overall I'd give this place 5 stars. read more

I found that the leftovers were actually better than the fresh meal on day one, which was surprising. That said, both dishes could have used more traditional Jamaican seasoning to really bring out the flavors. The oxtails, priced at $29, were good but didn't quite justify the cost. On the other hand, the curry chicken at $18 was much better--both in flavor and value. Portion sizes were generous, which was a plus. Service and ambiance were both acceptable but nothing to write home about. Bottom line: I'd visit again, but I'd likely skip the oxtails. read more

Finally tried this place an it was great! I got the jerk pork and now I know to get extra gravy. I could drink that stuff it was so tasty. Very nice service as well. read more

My Jamaican mom was visiting here, and we were visiting our Jamaican family, and boy the food was so good! We had the curried goat, oxtail, rice and peas, fried plantains, baked mac and cheese and cabbage! The goat and oxtail were so tender, just how it should be! The fried plantains, mac and cheese and cabbage were so flavorful and just perfect! 10/10!!!!! The service great too because we ordered alot and they were able to separate everything how we wanted. Everyone was very friendly! Truly nothing negative to report, we got the food in a good amount of time too! Thank you Angies, we will certainly be back! read more

Man listen, there is no Jamaican food in North Carolina that can touch the food over at Angie's. This is simply some of the best Jamaican oxtail, curry chicken you will find. With the super friendly staff they make you feel right at home. We love going to Angie, Jamaican Grill, and anytime I'm in Durham. This is the spot I have to pull up to. read more

Really enjoyed the food. The service was fast and I enjoyed the menu. I just need a few more characters to meet the minimum.

The food is amazing. I'm vegan, so I really appreciate the Curry Chickpeas, cabbage, collards, and rice options. I will definitely be back.

Very good service. I ordered a large fried chicken with rice and peas and steamed cabbage as my sides. Also a beer patty as well. The food was very well seasoned and was cooked to perfection. The meat was falling off the bone and it was overall amazing. I'm jamaican and it took me back to yaad. Would definitely go again. read more

This is by the far the most authentic Jamaican cuisine I've found in the triangle area, and it did not disappoint! I would've given it 5 stars if the customer service wasn't lacking and the prices weren't so high. I got the large oxtail plate with rice and peas, extra gravy and veggies, a side of mac n cheese, and a beef patty with cocoa bread. It's was $45, yikes! Anyway the portions were generous and food tasted amazing!! The exterior signage could use an update, it was tattered and falling apart, but inside was clean and vibrant. I ordered online, which was fast and easy. Once I got to Angie's, I stood there for about 3mins before anyone even acknowledged me. Nonetheless my food was ready and hot. I'll definitely go back and recommend to others for authenticity. read more

The jerk chicken sandwich was really good I just wished they toasted the coco bread so it wouldn't be so soggy but that's just a personal preference. The Mac and cheese was flavorful but a tad bit sweet for me. Service was nice I wished they had plantains when I was there! I'd return. read more
