Come for the celebratory calendar highlights, but stay for the incredible food in the Hayti community. Chefs making the journey from motion to mortar is a throughline here, with Black-owned food trucks making their way to storefronts. Ama’Gees Jamaican Cuisine is well known for its flavorful and sometimes spicy Caribbean fare.

I have not ate Jamaican food in almost twenty years since I moved from New York City after 911. Because no one knows how to do Jamaican food unless you know how to do Jamaican food and taking a chance can be catastrophic. This place knows how to do jamaican food and even found a way to make amazing Jamaican food for people that don't eat meat which in my experience, it's not easy. If you don't eat here, it is truly your loss!

Great food and service. I love how welcomed I feel whenever I order. Nothing like a perfectly timed “you want gravy on your rice?” I always get some combination of rice & peas, cabbage, jerk chicken, curried something, plantains, and beef patties.

Best Oxtail and Jerk Chicken in the world! Sauce is insanely good! So many good options with generous portions almost ordered the entire menu! This is a must have go to spot in Durham, NC. We came from Greensboro, NC and it was a million percent worth the drive! Will be coming back again to order the rest of the menu! There’s nothing on the menu that will disappoint! Everything is home made with Love! Much Love❤️🌍
