The lamb was tender and melted off the bone, the fufu was soft and hearty, and the plantains were scrumptious. The restaurant itself was very very clean, service was fast, and the bathrooms were spotless. I can't understand why it took me so long to try Hady's, but this will quickly become a staple.

We made the trek from the north side of town over and it was worth it. The place is immaculately clean and the menu is an extensive list of cuisine from all over the world. From Jamaica to Ghana and place in between. I know this could be a difficult balance to strike, but it was done well. I ordered the oxtails with rice and peace and plantains. The order was a nice size but I do feel the oxtails portion could have been bigger. Lots of sauce but not a lot of meat. The seasoning on it was very well done. Spicy but not too spicy. Well balanced. I enjoyed it along with my well portioned sides. The person with me got jollof rice and chicken. They said the rice was good and the grilled onion on top of the chicken was perfect. The chicken wasn't to their personal taste but looked well portioned and prepared. They also had a variety of bottled drinks to choose from like mango and hibiscus drinks. I would go back.

Golden Krust is a solid choice if you are looking for oxtails in the city. Granted it's a chain,…read morethey employed people from Jamaica to try and keep the food authentic. The portions are large and they have a variety of plate sizes to choose from to fit your budget and needs. I always get the same thing - oxtails, rice and peas, plantains and a meat pie. It's not the most authentic in the city as it is a chain, but it's always a solid choice I have been to in more than one city. The service is like any fast food restaurant. You order at the counter and your food is packaged to go. The restaurant looks like a fast food place inside as well. Nothing fancy but usually clean.

Even if a large plate is ordered the ratio to rice and peas to protein is disproportionate. The entree section is overloaded with rice and peas or just rice, and a small amount of gravy is added, then the protein with more gravy is spread on top. The server makes several attempts to spoon and fish out the meat, as if it is hard to find in the gravy or it's about to run out. After all of that, you still end up with possibly five whole pieces (if you are lucky), and meat that has fallen off of the thinly shaved bones. The sides section is portioned fairly. Again the quality and taste is amazing but the quantity of meat isn't; though I have seen more fairly served portions given by other servers. I know and understand that restaurants must charge more because of the economy and it isn't their fault. I have no problem paying for anything that I buy but I want to get what pay for.

On a Thursday around 5pm, the sides had already hardened into solid blocks--nowhere near the freshness I was looking for. I was charged extra for the mac and cheese, which turned out to be a stiff chunk of cheese over baked noodles. The plantains were the hardest I've ever had. The bright spot: the cabbage was seasoned well, and the chicken with jerk sauce was genuinely enjoyable. The jerk sauce had a nice hint of BBQ flavor that worked well. But for two plates, two drinks, and a spinach patty totaling $50, I expected much better. I won't be returning.

Empanadas were fresh and hot and tasted delicious! Even the side of garlic sauce was yummy. Customer service was great too. Would recommend you give them a try. Note- prices on menu are not accurate to what you are charged.

The meat really did taste as if it was refried or the grease was old. Definitely wasn't fresh. The macaroni and cheese was just noodles and cheese, no flavor. The yams were stringy. The turkey collards were the only thing I enjoyed. The "cake" was honestly a mini portion of a store bought pound cake. I felt totally ripped off when I could've dinned in elsewhere for a completely different experience for $30. The staff was very nonchalant when I introduced myself as a first time customer asking for suggestions. There aren't many designated soul food places in Raleigh and I feel like this is totally a missed opportunity and it's unfortunate because I drove almost 30 min each way just for them.
