ALEX!!! You are amazing! This was my first time here and I was very satisfied. I honestly came in, looked at the menu, and thought I didn’t like anything but omg was I surprised. Don’t let the menu names get you!! The food is amazing and I even ordered seconds. I loved every bite and am so glad I tried something new. Definitely will recommend this place to anyone. Ahh!! It was so good! The food was so good I can’t add pictures because the plates are empty.

Get the curry! And the wagyu!!! And the roti! It’s so good and you won’t be disappointed. The chicken is also good but not the standout.

Potentially the best meal I’ve had in Austin! The beef patties, jerk chicken, roti and the pork shoulder were all to die for! The chicken is spicy but so worth it for all of those flavors!

I enjoyed my first time eating here. Olivia gave me her recommendations and they were on point. If I'm ever in Austin, I would come here again. Good thing I made a reservation because it got crowded fast

This was our first time visiting. The family and I all wanted to have a new shared experience and Canjes did not disappoint!! We had cabbage,wild boar,pink pineapple,geera, coconut rice and tres Leche dessert. Each menu item was bursting with flavor!! It blew our minds! We couldn't get enough! And as if that wasn't enough, every staff member was very friendly, and we noticed a lot of team work within each other. I'd like to thank each member for all of their hospitality and for making my family's experience a memorable one!! **Special shout out to the Chefs and culinary team at Canjes!!**
11-24-25 I recently visited this restaurant and the customer service was truly outstanding. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made the experience enjoyable from start to finish.
As for the food, I wasn’t a big fan of the pepperpot or the jerk patties, but I did enjoy the coconut rice—it tasted more like cilantro rice, but it was still very good. The drinks were also great.
Overall, I would definitely come back for the amazing customer service and the drinks alone.

This is a restaurant that has a shared plate style. I wish the portions were bigger for sharing. The portions were just right for an individual serving but not for sharing. To feel adequately full, several dishes need to be ordered and not the recommended 4 dishes for 2 people. The food was delicious, but I would definitely order with not wanting to share a meal, but instead, have a taste.

Amazing food. Fantastic service. Restaurant is too loud though. Semi-yell to have a convo. Would happily go back.

Fantastic food, vibe, and service! We celebrated our wedding anniversary, and not only did many of the hosts/servers wish us a happy anniversary, but they had a lovely signed postcard waiting for us on our table. And the fabulous ending after that delicious mango pudding was when I asked our server to tell the chefs how much we loved the food, he offered to take us into the kitchen so that I could thank the chefs myself. The chefs greeted us with a drumroll and paused from the busyness of their kitchen to welcome us. I mean...WOW! Thank you for an amazing evening, Canje crew! We will be back!

Without a doubt, I will be returning to Canje. The wild boar pepperpot and Jamaica beef patties were stellar. I loved the jerk chicken, but it was slightly too spicy for my husband's palette. BUT it is jerk chicken, so you should expect the spice! The drinks and service were also top notch. Alex was our server and we had a great experience!
