   This is always one of my favorite meals! The staff is attentive and knowledgable, the vibe is lively and the food is always amazing. I could live off the rotis.

   In love with this place and the staff! Literally one of the best meals that I have had in my life. The pink pineapple, acorn squash and arroz con leche are to die for. I would have rated this 10 stars if that option was available. Incredible food 💜

   My girlfriend and I had a wonderful experience at Canje. We started with the ceviche and she and I settled on the Rock Shrimp (technically an appetizer) and the Wagyu Curry for entrees. The roti was absolutely phenomenal and complemented both of our dishes very well. We would love to go again.

   Incredible experience from start to finish. The ambiance and the decor are just so beautiful. The service was great. But the food. The food exceeded all of our expectations- from the pickiest eater to the novice foodie. It was a truly wonderful dining experience and a great place to share food with family and friends.

   It was so loud at our table I had to sit next to my date to hold a conversation. Otherwise, the food and overall experience is still among the best Austin has to offer.

   Simply amazing experience. Every dish we tried (grouper, jerk chicken, pink pineapple, roti, callaloo, plantain) was full of unique flavors. The adult drinks were just as spectacular. An enthusiastic 5 stars.

    Unique and exceptional cuisine. The snapper ceviche with plaintian chips was excellent as was the rock shrimp appetizer. Our group of four split the snapper entree, the boar hot pot (with roti) and jerk chicken. The sauces associated with each dish were standouts and unlike anything in Austin. The smokey mezcal cocktail was very good too. Service was personable and quite nice (a pleasant surprise since this restaurant is associated in some way with Emmer & Rye, where we found the millenial servers unattentive and dismissive of older customers, while annoyingly pushing "upsell" items from a cart after we had ordered dinner). But the servers at Canje were knowedgeable and helpful. We had one server. Inside is loud but we sat outside on a very warm summer night. The overhead fan provided relief.

    Cool place with innovative limited menu. Lots of interesting flavors. Fish entree was outstanding; pork entree was fatty and flavorless. Very pleased to dine in a restaurant that was generating support for an important local historic house museum by contributing 10% of the night’s gross. That made the menu prices seem just right.

    We enjoyed the atmosphere decor, music. Everything we had was delicious and well prepared. Cocktails can truly run up bill as we enjoyed all we tried with and with alcohol. Plantains and roti are addictive, the grouper was also a group fav...oh and the squash off the charts. I was impressed with jerk chicken, was moist and didn't burn out my taste buds. Would come back.

    Had a reservation for 6 to celebrate my wife’s birthday. It was everyones first time eating at the restaurant. Service was great. Our waiter greeted us, explained the menu and got the drinks flowing really quickly. The drinks were unique and enjoyable. We pretty much ordered everything on the menu. All of the food was flavorful and delicious. My favorite was the wild boar dish. Overall it was just a fantastic experience. We will be back.

    Canje is the best new restaurant in Austin. The ceviche is easily the best in town. If you get the jerk chicken, be prepared for spicy. Cocktails are fantastic as well.

    Service was fast and waitress was knowledgeable able all the choices. Food was amazing. We started with spicy cocktails and the avocado dish. Main meal was the super tender wild boar pepper pot, roti, and melt in your mouth greens. The grand finish was light, but rich tres leches. Everything was delicious. Can’t wait to take friends.

    I truly enjoyed Canje. We sat at the bar and the service was wonderful. Every dish we had was delightful and each drink was delicious. I really recommend the wild boar pepper pot with the Guyanese style roti. Caleb was working behind the bar, and he was knowledgeable and patient. I will be recommending Canje to my friends and it is perfect for any occasion.

    If you want something different, go for the Caribbean dishes at Canje. We had the Curry Wagyu and the Jerk Chicken for mains, and they are truly excellent! Spicy, tasty, juicy. The sides and condiments play big roles too. We'll definitely dine again when we come back to Austin.
