    I looooove this spot! It was our first time there and it's already one of my favs. Food: I ordered the jollof rice with stewed chicken and added some veggies to it. The sauce I used was the jerk sauce and I asked for the garlic sauce on the side. Talk about flavor town! Everything tasted so amazing, fresh and the seasoning within the chicken and rice was perfect. Also, the portion was huge! It became 2 servings for me. No complains there! I also ordered small cachupa soup with was very tasty and hearty. Service: We had the nicest experience. The staff was super helpful and kind. They were patient with our indecisiveness and gave us some laughs too. They were also very fast. Ambiance: It might look small but it's actually a good space with seating. Super clean and well lit too. There's a small parking lot next to it but lots of street parking. We are definitely going back frequently!

    My friend went to Auntie's House twice and recommended it to me. Auntie's House is where Afro-Caribbean flavors meets Halal goodness. There is a small parking lot next to the Auntie's House sign and street parking available. When I walked into Auntie's House, there was already a queue even though they had opened 10 minutes before. Meals are customizable to the customers. First stop is choosing your protein, rice, and if you want to add beans and grilled peppers. For protein, there is chicken, steak, pork, and shrimp. For rice, there was Jollof, Vegetable Fried Rice, Rice & Peas, Yellow, and White. The next stop is choosing your toppings and sauce. For toppings, there was salad mix (chopped lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and onions), cabbage, corn, cucumbers, jalapeños, and scallions. For sauce, there was Auntie's Spicy Mayo, Garlic White Sauce, Avocado Sauce, Jerk Sauce, BBQ, Blue Cheese, Sweet Chilli, Hot Sauce, and Ketchup. I chose the Shrimp over Jollof Rice bowl with salad mix (chopped lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and onions), corn, and jalapeños with Auntie's Spicy Mayo on the side. Staff were very friendly. There are about 4 tables inside if you want to eat in which I did. The whole bowl was packed with flavor. I really enjoyed the zesty shrimp and the jollof rice. Auntie's Spicy Mayo also has a nice kick. During the span of an hour that I was at Auntie's House, a good amount of customers came through ordered and left. My husband had the Chicken over Jollof Rice bowl and he enjoyed it as well. I would like to try the chicken next time.

    Door Dash Chicken Over Vegetable Fried Rice

    I've had Auntie House a couple of times now since I can get it through DoorDash, and honestly the portions are huge for what you pay. Everything has been super fresh every time. I kept forgetting to take a picture the first two times, so luckily the third time I finally remembered. I'm completely hooked on the chicken over yellow fried rice. The chicken is juicy, packed with flavor, and just hits every time. I didn't even know you could do half and half, so next time I might try half yellow fried rice and half rice and peas. I've tried the steak and shrimp before and they were good too, but the chicken is my favorite. The toppings are very generous, and their sauces are great, I really like the avocado salsa. And if you want a little sweet with your savory, the sweet plantains are a perfect add on. My only wish is that they had sweet desserts or if they do, that they add them to the DoorDash menu. Other than that, absolutely worth it and definitely one of my go to orders now.

    The food is fresh and delicious!!!! The place is a good size ...... All the workers were busy and polite!!!! I added the protein oxtail to my chicken and rice and veggies.... The worker recommended the chipotle sauce to the meal...... it was a 10/10 for me!!!!! The parking lot is not that big and street parking is limited....... Other than that it was fantastic!!!!! Another good sign that it was busy mid always a plus in my books!!!!

    This is in a great spot in Pawtucket, and was quite busy for a Sunday evening. The staff were quick and good service. They have nice rice bowl combos including build your own. The plantains were really good. Parking is scarce and mostly street parking.

    Tried Auntie's House tonight for the first time. Cute little bistro/cafe. We were greeted by smiling friendly employees who were working hard through a busy dinner rush. Now on the the best part, the meal was a bowl of delicious food that we controlled by making selections during the entire assembly process. I selected a base of rice and beans, topped by grilled chicken breast, lettuces, cucumbers, onions, scallions, tomatoes, etc. Finished mine with a delicious bleu cheese sauce. There was so much food in that bowl we could have fed 3 adults. Definitely will be back.

    I came here on a weekend, after weeks of seeing ads for this place on social media. I wasn't sure if it is their parking lot, but I parked in the lot to the right hand side of the building. There is also street parking around. When I walked in, I was welcomed with warm smiles, a blend of good smells, and upbeat music. I think the staff could tell it was my first time so they walked me through the process of building a meal. I went with a bowl, half yellow rice and half jollof rice. For the protein, I choose their stew chicken but it was honestly a tough choice since everything looked excellent. On Sundays, they make oxtail which I was very close to getting. I got almost all their toppings and for the sauces, I got the garlic sauce and a chipotle one I think. The total was around $18 which may sound like a lot, but it was very heavy and enough for two people to leave satisfied. We ate inside, and while eating, noticed that a lot of people order from here so it's a pretty popular choice. The chicken was a tiny bit spicy but more than anything resembled an adobo/chipotle flavor. The rices were good, but very hard to find buried under everything else. The toppings were fresh and contributed different flavors in each bite. I love garlic but I did notice that the garlic sauce had a strong, raw taste. I would come back to try other options on their menu.

    Build Your Own Bowl with chicken and steak

    Rating: 4.3 Came to try Auntie's house since we were around the area. It's a restaurant similar to Baja's, cavas and chipotle where you choose your base, proteins, toppings and sauce. The place seemed to be newer but was quite busy as they already have some customer base. Inside is small but offers few seatings and counter where you order your food. The place is minimalistic but is clean and has some African background music. The restaurant primarily focus on fusions of West African, Latin, and Caribbean food. I ordered rice bowl with jollof rice, chicken, steak, onions, corn, cilantro and mix of jerk sauce, white garlic sauce, and aunties spicy mayo. Meal also came with drink from the fridge. The food was flavorful and spiced well. Chicken was nice and tender, the steak was a bit dry. Jollof rice was delicious although the rice may have been a bit overcooked. Sauces were good and they let you try before you pick them as well. What differentiates this place from other competitors are the variety of sauces they offer and the base option. Service was relatively quick and staff were nice. Overall the place was good. Relatively cheap and good quick eats around the area. I would come back if i'm around the area and try their other protein options. I can see why it's popular by the locals.

    Auntie's House in Pawtucket might be serving up the best rice bowls in Rhode Island. Skip your next Chipotle run and come here instead. Each bowl is packed with flavor and is inspired by Afro-Caribbean cuisine. They even import spices directly from Ghana to preserve the authentic flavor of their jollof rice! We got chicken and shrimp as our protein options and both were delicious. And you definitely have to get the Auntie's Spicy Mayo on top! Definitely make sure Auntie's House is your next stop for a rice bowl!

    A solid spot if you're craving Jamaican food. The setup is similar to Chipotle--you choose your rice, protein, and then add toppings and sauces. I went with a mix of jollof rice and rice and peas, along with chicken and shrimp. I added vegetables, spicy mayo, and garlic sauce. The portion size is massive; it lasted me 2-3 days. Next time, I'd skip the toppings and sauces and stick with just the meat and rice and beans. Overall, it was a good experience.

    First time here! Saw a few reels and my mouth was watering! Had to check it out! Caribbean/African fusion! So yummy! Generous portions. Friendly, helpful staff. Lots of sauces to choose from. They offer samples if you're not sure! Price was right! A++ experience!

    We've been following this business on Instagram and have been looking forward to trying their build your own rice bowls. The reviews have been great and when we arrived last night, there was a line out the door of people waiting to order. When it was our turn at the counter, we were greeted with a smile and thanked for coming out to try the food. They had run out of a few things, but while we were talking, hot and fresh food was brought out and refilled so we were good to go. We ordered 3 jollof rice bowls, one with shrimp, one with chicken, and one with pork. We had them topped with our favorite veggie options and asked for some sauces on the side so we could try them (garlic white sauce, spicy mayo, jerk, and BBQ) and they were all good. We took our order to go but there are a few tables inside if you wanted to eat there. Our meals were tasty and we look forward to returning again.

    This is a Jamaican African bowl style restaurant located in Pawtucket. I saw it pop up on TikTok and I was intrigued since I live right around the corner! There's limited side private parking. There was already a line and some of the meats were running low, but I noticed staff were right on it, cooking up a new batch! The screen had a list of steps with options and house special bowls! I ordered a rice bowl of jollof rice with some freshly done chicken as my protein~ I added some greens and I was stuck on the sauces~ TikTok videos referenced all said this was the best part because it ties all the flavors together. I think it was the owner who was behind the counter (I recognized him based off the tiktok videos). He saw me stare at the screen debating what to added and he asked if I wanted to try the sauces~ the list was long and he gave a dab on the back of my hand, one by one! We didn't get through the whole sauce list because I was hooked on Aunties Sauce(spicy mayo), hot sauce (has a kick and I asked for a little around the bowl) and jerk sauce (tangy sweet). I honestly loved that I was offered the option to try, especially since the list is so long and I could've easily held up the line. It made my experience great and my food experience worth it. First impression was phenomenal because I enjoyed it flavors I liked. Every bowl comes with a drink. Portion was heavy and large, so this will make great leftovers. This spot had plenty of seating and most take these orders to go. We sat down and every table was clean and it looked like this place was making great business with locals. Very busy but staff made every order go quickly and gave very friendly service. Will come again since this is so close to my home!

    I had a last minute invite this morning to join a friend's reservation. I have heard great things…read moreabout this place but hadn't had the opportunity to visit yet. So it was an easy yes, to say the least! When I arrived, I walked around the corner to the entrance on Rochambeau. The waiting area inside is bright, colorful, decorated with some personal tokens, assorted cookbooks and accolades. You can just see into the kitchen and suddenly the chef and owner, Milena Pagán will appear over the cafe style doors to greet you and get you checked in for your reservation. Highly recommend a reservation if you plan to come on the weekend. The place was busy! We were taken to our spots at the bar and greeted by Milena's partner, Darcy. He took care of us from start to finish. I could not resist the brunch prie fixe menu for $45. What a steal. An entree, house made pastry, juice/coffee/tea and one of the house cocktails. I chose the shakshouka, a cardamom knot, the guava-pineapple fizz and the rebujito. I also added an iced horchata latte because I was at brunch after all! We had our drinks and pastries in front of us quickly. My juice was refreshing, tangy and just a hint of sweetness. I love guava and this was exactly what I wanted. The latte was simple but effective, hitting the spiced notes you want from horchata with the depth of good espresso to back it up. The latte in particular was delicious with the cardamom knot, the two harmonizing together for a moment of heaven on this rainy Sunday afternoon. The outside of the knot was caramelized in spots adding this great crunch and the inside was soft like a cinnamon bun. My friend mentioned it was one of her favorites and I can see why! When the shakshouka came out, the smell hit me first. Warm tomatoes, the herbs from the chimichurri, and the tostones fresh from the pan. The presentation is beautiful, inviting you to dig in immediately. I of course opted for the smashed avocado upgrade and they thoughtfully plated it on the side. I like to taste everyone together so I added it to my skillet, and began eating the dish using my tostones as my utensil. It was amazing. All those smells I mentioned before played through beautifully in the tasting. It was one of the best dishes I've ever had. My only wish was for more tostones but I know if I had asked for an additional side, they had that as an option to take. I'll make sure to do that next time! The rebujito cocktail was something I hadn't tried before so I was looking forward to it. It felt like the kind of drink you have on a hot summer day. Similar to a mojito, but with good sherry as the base alcohol instead of rum. As a side note, I think it's an incredibly clever to create a cocktail menu around sherry when you have a beer and wine license. Using a fortified wine? Brilliant. But after my experience here today, I know that brilliance is in every brick of that space. If you were like me and haven't made the trip to this spot on the corner of Hope and Rochambeau, please fix that ASAP! I can't wait to go back, and bring all my friends and family here so they can share in what I enjoyed today. Just an incredible meal and service.

Still would get again. They say they have a 1 hour seating time, so we were a little worried when we got there at 10:30 for our reservation but didn't get seated till 10:40. However we did end up finishing within the hour - I'm not totally sure how strict they are about that rule. They also have the kitchen right where you wait to get seated, which just added to the hunger and anticipation

We arrived there about 1.5 hours before it closing. We got lucky and found street parking in front of the restaurant. You can sit down and eat here.

In all honesty, I've tried jerk chicken in the Bay Area and even as far as Springfield, Massachusetts. This location was okay. The chicken quarter was very dry but the sauce was really good which made up for it. On top of that, I wanted to try the oxtail stew but $18 for a small was outside of my budget. I did try a bite of my partner's beef patty was it was delish. Aside from that, the restaurant was empty when we were there. We got to sing in our seats while we waited for our food since they were playing oldschool 90's rnb music. I was definitely vibing. 4/5 stars for me. I would've rated it a 5 if the chicken wasn't tough and dry.
