★★★☆☆ 3.0 Guy Astree · Oct 2025

The food is pretty good I'm from South Florida so I'm used to Jamaican food maybe my judgment on Jamaican food may be a little bit more strict since I have a wide variety of it but for it being out here it's not bad south Carolina

★★★★★ 5.0 Ashley Christopher · Oct 2025

Yaad in Darlington is an absolute gem! The oxtails with rice and peas, plantain, and cabbage, and the curry goat was excellent. Every single bite was full of rich, authentic flavor, perfectly seasoned, and that unmistakable West Indian soul that’s hard to find done right. The food was fresh, hearty, and made with real love. You can tell the chefs know exactly what they’re doing. If you’re craving true Jamaican flavor, this is the spot. We’ll definitely be back!

★★★★☆ 4.0 Yvonne Greene · Dec 2024

We ordered the mixed plate- jerk chicken and curry chicken with plantain, Mac and cheese and rice and peas. Also oxtails with rasta pasta and plantains. The oxtails were excellent, very tender and tasty. The chicken dishes and plantains were equally as good. We will be supporting this restaurant again

★★★★★ 5.0 Andreona Myers · Sep 2025

Yall this food was good! Im not usually the type to even leave reviews like that whether a place is good or not bc Im shy and dont want people to see my name lol. However, this place has really good food. I know it may sound as if Im exaggerating, but this is the best Jamaican/Caribbean cuisine I've ever tasted in my 36 years of life. I dont know who they got in the kitchen, but it seems like they are very intentional with the flavors. It was soooo delicious, I wasn't expecting that. I had the Brown stew, Rice and Peas, Mac n cheese, Cabbage and those PLANTAINS 😩😩 (cooked to perfection with those yummy crisp edges). Im still shocked. Usually places with really good food dont usually take Doordash orders. Their food was good yall, if yall are debating which Caribbean cuisine place to choos
