Canje 1914 East 6th Street, Austin, TX 78702

"A fusion of foods and flavors from Ghana, India, the Caribbean, and who knows where else. Portions are small and served a la carte, so order several dishes. Great atmosphere, but a bit noisy. Wait staff was super friendly and helped guide us thru the menu. Service was impeccable. We were there for a couple of hours and really enjoyed it."

"Our dining experience at Canje was amazing. The service, food, and atmosphere were excellent and made for a solid time. We sat at the bar and the bartender explained the menu and set us up for success. We loved the jerk chicken and the wild boar pepperpot. The spice levels are just right and really add to the meal. Order a few things from each section of the menu and you’ll leave full and happy. I can’t wait to go back and try more of the menu."

"Honestly one of the best restaurants I have been to! Food is incredible! The environment is perfect for a special night. The general manager was super friendly! I desired a little more complexity for the cocktails but that might just be me. Great for Gluten Free and Vegan"

"That exceeded expectations. Yes, I had heard that this was one of the top 10 new restaurants in the US last year, so it had to be good, but I didn't know what to expect to I tried to stay even keeled about expectations. Everything was fantastic: The food, the service (thanks Jake!), and the atmosphere. What really stood out were the unique flavors. The experience was different than what you get most other places and I appreciated this. I must say, the jerk chicken is very spicy. It will be too spicy for many, but you can take off the skin and enjoy a less-spicy version. But even without the skin, it was flavorful and perfectly done. There wasn't a single dish that we didn't love. You know some places you really enjoy but aren't thinking about going back to immediately. I think Canje will be a place we regularly consider when we are thinking about a night out. Also, the price was very good for what we got. I was expecting it to be more expensive but it felt like a bargain for what you get. I don't always have the feeling about meals I like around Austin."

"We came from Ohio just to eat here, and it surpassed all our expectations- it was an extraordinary experience from start to finish. The pride and passion of the staff is evident in every interaction and the food is sublime. Our server, David was incredibly knowledgeable, and his suggestions about the menu and the wine were amazing. Harvard, the head chef, hand delivered several dishes and shared the intricate processes which led to such delicious and complex food. The best part was getting to meet the kitchen crew and thank them for the rare treat of a lovingly crafted, sumptuous meal. If you are in Austin and get the chance, make this your go to spot."
