My husband and I have been wanting to try some authentic African food for awhile. I heard about…read moreHady International Food Restaurant through a post on Facebook. We decided to try it, drove 1 hour to get there, and we were NOT disappointed!! We ordered a few items from the menu-- Red Jollof Rice with Fish, Peanut Butter Soup with Fufu, Chicken Shawarma, and then we asked the gentleman taking our order (sorry I didn't get his name) to suggest something he thought was really good. He picked the grilled lamb with couscous. Everything was delicious!!! Even our son, who is extremely picky, enjoyed it! Yeah, we're going back!!

I was in the mood for oxtails on a week night after the snow in Raleigh. Placed that were open late…read moreand considering the weather were far and few between but Hady's was open. 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.

Everything I tried was well-seasoned, flavorful, and tasted really good. The oxtails were also nice and meaty, which I really appreciated. The restaurant itself was very clean and well-maintained, including the bathroom, which is always a plus when dining out. Overall, I had a great experience at this location. The food was delicious, the portions were satisfying, and the restaurant was clean. I would definitely come back to this Golden Krust location!

I've had several things from here and they rarely disappoint. The jerk chicken is flavorful and seasoned well, the chicken wings are really good, and I absolutely love their coco bread--especially with one of their beef patties. They also have curry chicken, which is another solid option if jerk isn't what you're in the mood for. My only complaint is the wait. Depending on when you go, you may be standing there a little longer than expected, so I wouldn't necessarily come if I was in a serious rush. But once you get your food? Worth it. The portions are good, the flavors are there, and it has that authentic Caribbean comfort-food feel. I've been more than once and will definitely continue going back. Just give yourself a little extra time!

I selected my two side choices, which were mac and cheese and collard greens. Despite the price that was listed on the overhead menu for the snack selection, which included two sides, I was told I had to pay an upcharge of $3.00 for the mac and cheese. I did not want to argue about something that I felt was unfair and inappropriate. What made the situation really disturbing was that the overcharged mac and cheese was ruined because it was placed and mixed with the oxtail meat and oxtail juices. This situation led to a decline in the food's quality, which did not meet my expectations. The presentation of the small snack container was very unappealing because the three food choices were squished together in a tiny container. My total charge for the small, tight, thin oxtails and two sides snack was not at all worth the $20.00 I was charged. The quality of the oxtails was a real disappointment that needs major improvement. I was expecting much better quality, and I would not recommend this food location based on my recent visit.

Today I ordered a large curry goat and I must say that I was more than satisfied. The goat was falling off the bone lean and well seasoned, rice and beans absorbed the curry gravy like a champ, cabbage and plantains staggered into mix like a divine combination. I recommend the curry goat to all the goats and Capricorn . Go get a plate. Service always professional and the space is always bright and clean.

However, lately it seems like something has changed--maybe a different chef? The oxtails now taste like they're cooked with way too much sugar. The rice and peas also taste overly sweet, almost like pure sugar. The red peas soup has been very disappointing, and the cabbage is always overcooked and mushy. I'm not sure what's changed, but I really hope you can go back to the quality and flavors you had when you first opened. Please consider cutting back on the sugar and bringing back the authentic taste that made me want to keep coming back.
