Ama’gees Jamaican Cuisine - Durham

Wow, this restaurant is amazing! Tonight we had ruckhuh, ochsen, rice and exfoliate, kohl and callaloo greens, and it was seriously the best meal I've had in months. The flavors were perfect, incredibly tasty, and I especially enjoyed the Thymian accent in every dish. The owners were also very friendly. I will definitely be returning.

After waiting 30 minutes for our food at Central Park today, we received an inaccurate order. When we got home, we realized there were missing items from our order. The food we did receive was disappointing - the chicken was dry and the rice was mushy. This will be our first and last visit to this restaurant. I will not be returning to Lee's Kitchen.

I have to say, without a doubt, that this is the best Jamaican food in the city, hands down! I have tried almost every Jamaican restaurant or food truck in Durham, and Amagees is definitely my favorite. I ordered a special plate with a combination of curry shrimp and curry chicken, rice and peas, and cabbage. It was absolutely delicious!

The Best Jamaican food that I have taste in durham.

... I was smoking a cigarette and looking for a restaurant when I heard Jamaican Food ..A great friend of mine a Kingston old-timer used to bring me a beef patty and coco bread when I would visit; it was a simple, delicious meal that I have loved from the first bite. 10 years later, I stopped at Ama'Gees just by chance. Honestly, the best patty I've had; rich with a flaky exterior. The coco bread was soft and sweet. The Jerk Chicken was spicy, juicy, and delicious, especially coupled with rice, cabbage, and those delicately sweet fried plantains. Don't get me started on the Curry Shrimp. I could live happily for a month on nothing but coco bread dunked in curry... the shrimp is like a bonus, and cooked perfectly.The staff is so friendly and the prices are quite reasonable. If you happen upon this gem, don't think twice... You won't be disappointed.Thank you, Ama'Gees, for a delicious meal!
