I have now tried this food truck 3 times and I'm ready to recommend it !…read more This food truck is in a pretty convenient location and the menu has a good amount of things to eat. Everything is made on the truck mostly to order. The staff are nice there's usually 2-4 people making the food so remember to be patient because MOST FOOD IS COOK TO ORDER. If you do not have time to wait do not be going and having an attitude. However, the food is work the wait and supporting a growing business in Greensboro. They're open Friday, Saturday , and Sunday so if you need your fix grab it and stock some in your fridge it's only available 3 days a week and they sell of of some items by Saturday afternoon with their high demand. I have tried a good amount of the food and will venture out more in the next few months. Jerk Patty ; this was delightfully good ! I have never had a jerk chicken patty and I was curious to see what it was like. It was flaky on the outside the inside had a little kick and was extremely flavorful. Beef Patty ; this was a traditional flavor well executed flaky and good. If you like beef patties you'll enjoy this. Not spicy. Curry Shrimp ; this is one of my favorite items on the menu. I like it's an appetizer to get a different entree. You get a great portion size , an it's seasoned to perfection. Curry Goat ; this is my favorite along with so many others. Expect this to sell out before Sunday most weeks. It is delicious. They defined take care in the prep the meat is not gamey or with an off taste. It is tender , well seasoned. I asked for it to be Jamaican hot and it wasn't spicy to me but that could be a me thing with my high spice tolerance. It was still amazing and my favorite thing I've had from the truck by far beside the jerk chicken. Oxtail ; this is the only thing I haven't liked so far. I personally do not like sweet meat and the oxtail was sweet to me. They were well cooked though. Very tender. I haven't re ordered them though. Jerk Chicken ; this chicken is so delicious (this is a theme most of the truck is great ). I cleaned the bones off this chicken. It was tender and they allow you to say how you'd like the sauce I don't like ketchup so I asked that it doesn't have that with jerk and bbq only. Rice and Peas ; your typical rice and peas very good. Rasta Pasta ; this is my favorite side but it can be a bit inconsistent. Sometimes it's dry other times it perfect with a little sauce on it but I enjoy it every time with my meal. Overall a great place and I would recommend it.

We don't really know much about authentic Jamaican food so we don't have anything to compare it to but we expected the flavors to be a little bolder and thought the jerk chicken would be spicy. The oxtail was very mild and while the jerk chicken had good flavor, it wasn't spicy. We did get the last order of jerk chicken so maybe that affected the quality but it was mostly bone and we didn't get much meat. We also felt it was a little overpriced for what we received. Since we're not familiar with Jamaican food, we can't really say whether it was good or bad overall. It just wasn't quite what we expected.

This Jamaican spot has been quietly serving up bold, authentic flavors, and if you haven't tried their beef patty yet, you're seriously missing out. The patty? Absolutely to die for. The crust is golden, flaky, and buttery with just the right amount of bite. Inside, the filling is rich, savory, and perfectly spiced--warm with Scotch bonnet heat but balanced so the flavors shine through. It's the kind of snack that makes you wish you'd ordered two... or three. Their stewed chicken also deserves a shoutout. Tender, falling-off-the-bone meat simmered in a deep, flavorful brown gravy--it's comfort food with Caribbean soul. Paired with rice and peas and a side of cabbage, it's the kind of plate that satisfies on every level. The vibe has always been low-key and welcoming, and with the move closer to Stratford, it's bound to attract even more fans. If you're in the area and craving something bold, homemade, and straight from the islands, this place needs to be on your radar.

I opted for to go and the food held up well to my 15 minute drive home. The falafel was hot and fresh and I got the chicken and steak over rice. I could have used a little more sauce but it was very flavorful and seasoned well. The protein was thinly sliced and it was a large portion. I ate some for dinner and lunch the next day and still had some left over. The environment is very calm and casual and would be great for a working lunch or lunch with friends. I'll definitely be back.

Aladdin's Shawarma! How can you resist a restaurant with a name like that? LOL Aladdin's is conveniently located on West Market Street. Easy to find and easy to park. When we walked in, I felt like I was in another country, and I mean that in a good way. There were many families from foreign countries speaking different languages. In that the restaurant is halal, there were many Muslim families there as well. Always a good sign when ethnicities are eating at local restaurants of their own cuisine. The place was pretty full. I ordered the Arabian salad and added chicken and Sally ordered a mixed grill plate. Her plate was expensive but plentiful. Mine was expensive for what I got and quite small. I was disappointed, although it was tasty. I could tell Sally felt bad for me that my portion was so small since she shared some of her dinner with me! I am still struggling with how expensive everything has gotten in restaurants, and so I tried to take it all with a grain of salt when I am comparing a price with the portion, but in this case it was hard for me to justify over $15 for a small salad with one small skewer of chicken. So as far as atmosphere, location, taste of the food and service, it was all excellent. I just could not help but wonder if they could have given me more food for what I paid. It made me feel like I might have been better off eating at home or going somewhere else for a better value. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing, or I need to accept that everything is much more expensive and portions are getting smaller. In either case, if you are looking for authentic Middle Eastern food in an authentic Middle Eastern atmosphere, Aladdin's Shawarma deserves a visit. I might consider trying them again, but ordering something else. I left hungry!

I have eaten at Da Ragge, La Palma, and Calypso Mama in Greensboro, Dixon's Jamaican in Burlington, and a few others. In this area, I've tried Outta D Kitchen, Ah Fiwi, & Taste Jamaica in WS. I finally got around to trying this spot a few times, which has been around for a while, the oldest Yelp review was over 16 years ago. They have received just over 2.5 reviews a year, but somehow are still here. I ordered the Oxtail, a favorite - called in the order, based on Yelp reviews this seemed the way to go. On another occasion I tried the Curry Goat. The Oxtail and Curry Goat were very good, tender and flavorful, and the serving size was reasonable. On one visit the cabbage was well seasoned, but rather bland on the other. The rice and peas were just ok, and the plantains lacked softness and sweetness. I almost certainly come again - I want to try the Jerk Chicken, Curry Chicken, the Pepper Steak, and for sure the Turkey Necks.

A negative reviewer said something different. So that was a lie. This restaurant is putting beautiful aroma in the air. As a proud Puerto Rican.

It is tucked in a shopping center with a Kohl's and Sprouts.  Every time my partner and I go we feel like we find something new to admire in the décor on this visit we liked the assortment of plates on the wall. On my most recent visit, my partner and I stopped by for a daytime date and started by splitting the fresh shrimp rolls. They were light, fresh, and tasty, a perfect appetizer on a hot summer day.  I ordered the papaya salad, which was refreshing with a nice kick. It was loaded with shrimp, tomatoes, and plenty of peanuts, which added the perfect crunch. I appreciate that they don't shy away from using peanuts in their dishes where they belong, it really enhances the flavor. My partner tried a chicken dish that was plentiful and had enough for leftovers.  Service can be hit or miss getting attention to the wait staff, but the food is consistently delicious. If you can make it for lunch, I highly recommend the lunch specials. Other visits I get the Thai tea and recommend if you haven't tried it before. Between the consistently good food, friendly service, and clean atmosphere, Thai Square is a place I'll keep coming back to.

While I would have been satisfied if it merely fulfilled a craving, Thai Square more than exceeded expectations. From an aesthetic standpoint, this is one of the nicer Thai restaurants in the area. It's bright and clean with a wall full of ornamental plates. Though it was busy at the time of my lunchtime visit, it seemed well-run. Staff were polite and attentive, and the kitchen had no trouble keeping up with demand. The som tam with shrimp was among the best versions of this dish that I've had. From the attractive plating to the freshness to the flavors (good amount of lime, not too heavy on the fish sauce), it was satisfying across the board. It wasn't at all spicy, which would ordinarily be a red flag (white people Thai food, five-yard penalty), but in fairness, it wasn't requested as such. Provided that Thai Square can bring the heat if you ask for it, the execution here is top-notch. I don't know if the rest of Thai Square's menu compares favorably to the dish that I had, but I hope to eventually find out. For Thai fans in Greensboro, this place is definitely worth a visit.
