Can anyone recommend an authentic caribbean (preferably jamaican) restuarant in the triangle? I am sorely missing trinbago! They had the best roti! I've been to Jamaica Jamaica. I don't think the meat (oxtail, curry goat) is seasoned enough. I only go to Blue Corn Cafe for the tostones....I would appreciate any suggestions, even really good carryouts. I am getting hungry just waiting for your responses.
Restuarants are the only hard part. I get bun, cheese, cola champagne, and other things from Leon's in Durham. Whenever I visit family in DC, Orlando, or NY they think I am crazy when I go nuts for carryout. Hopefully someone knows of a great place.
There's a Jamaican place in Harrisson Pointe Shopping Center in Cary but I have not tried it out yet so can't give it a review. We do plan to try it out soon though!

No Jamican places (but I am watching this thread for palces to try!) but a good Cuban diner is Jax in Wake Forest.
I posted this to the "cuba" thread the other day, but thought I shoudl mention it here too. I saw yesterday that a new Cuban restaurant is opening up soon on Chatham Street in Cary.
I don't know much about the area, we have only been on a few "house hunting trips" but, we did eat at the Bahama Breeze in N. Raleigh, on Wake Forest Dr., Exit 10, off I440, it seemed to have alot of choices, not sure it was Caribbean ?

There's a pretty good Cuban Restaurant "Carmens" in Durham across from the Airport mall (turn into the mall and it is in the little strip mall on the right. URL = index. They have Salsa dancing every Tuesday and on some weekend nights.
Cool Runnings in Cay (mentioned above) has pretty decent Jamaican food.
There's a place called "Jamaica Jamaica" in the intersection of 55 & 54 in Durham. The owner is half cuban and half panmanian so they have jamaican and some cuban and PR dishes.
In downtown Raleigh there is the Oakwood Cafe which is next to the post office. They are open for lunch and for dinner on Friday and Saturday. The owner is from Argentina and he cooks Argentinian and Cuban and American food.
I hope this helps!
