    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!

This place is small and does fill up but seems like most do take out. Parking is a bit tight and limited to street parking, but on a rainy day, there was plenty available. Staff was very friendly and attentive to getting us drinks, more tacos, and checking in on us~ my family speaks Spanish, and staff are fluent and native speakers of Spanish. Central fall caters to a mostly Hispanic population, so it's very welcoming. My partner speaks english, and with his limited Spanish, he ordered with no issue and the staff understood him well. My burrito was customized to my preference which had the cheese, rice, avocado, and no crema. Sounds very restrictive if that's just how my diet is, and I'm so glad they complied and gave me a delicious burrito! The meat was savory and tasty and the table had a container with three different sauces. The hottest was the dark red, and it was super good! I actually finished the whole meal and didn't feel too heavy. It was satisfying. The tacos were tasty, messy, but good. My partner ordered two more and he was too focused on his food to take a picture. For drinks, I got a seasonal drink called Atole Chanpurrado, which is made from corn flour, corn starch, and milk along with cinnamon. There are many versions, but this restaurant had the traditional one. It was super tasty and warm, very enjoyable on a cold rainy day. It was very homey!

We wanted to try everything in the menu because we saw what people were eating and it all looked amazing! We ordered 3 tacos, chilaquiles, sopes and a Gordita. The tacos were all good but if I had to rank them I would say 1 al pastor but it has a slight kick to it, carnitas was a close second and then the carne asada. The chilaquiles were so good and my husband was happy and I was happy I didn't have to cook them lol. The sopes were good just bigger than what I'm used to so if you're use to smaller ones, don't order more than one because these are big! I ate the whole Gordita and almost forgot to breathe lol but I did order a side of refried beans and I added them to my Gordita and it was just all good!!! As a Mexican from LA, I've been searching for Mexican food all over Rhode Island and I definitely found a place worth driving over 30 minutes to. They take Apple Pay, major cards and cash. I love how friendly both ladies were and how patient they were with me and how slow I ordered all of my food.
