    The food truck
    Ashley R.

    Man oh man, fabulous! You are in for a treat here. I've only ordered the jerk chicken and it is full of flavor. It has a kick for those who don't do spice well. My partner tried it (his family is Jamaican) and agreed how delicious it was. The portion size is decent. I feel a bit bias because I'm pregnant and always want more chicken. Make sure to order your patties and coco bread! They are quick too. You can expect your meal to be ready in about ten- fifteen minutes if that! The vibes are right and we will definitely be back (already have gone back to back weekends).

    Curry Chicken, Plantains, Oxtail
    Ela D.

    This place is absolutely amazing. I tried the Curry Chicken and a little bit if Oxtail with a Tropical Rhythms juice and I was floored by how incredible every single thing was. The curry chicken is tender and flavorful. This is a picture of the "small" portion. This is easily two meals for me. It's the best chicken dish I've had in longer than I can remember. The oxtail just falls off the bone and melts in your mouth. Braised to perfection, seasoned so well I'm probably going to dream about it tonight. The veggies and rice and plantains: Holy crap. I don't even like rice and I am going to clean my plate (eventually after getting through the leftovers. Seriously, the portions are huge!) Finally, the owner is such a kind, funny, awesome dude! And he makes a damn fine punch! Don't sleep on this place, you HAVE to try it

    Best Jamaican food I have ever had in my life. I'll be back many times. If you ever open up a brick and mortar restaurant that would be amazing!

    Why haven't you ate here yet is the real question. The food is on point!! Everything is homemade and you can tell. Never had a chicken patty before...let's just say I had to buy another one before I pulled off. Will probably be back every weekend cause why not?!

    It's our first time to try this place. It smells delicious. I had the small jerk chicken. It was delicious!! Ask for the hot pepper sauce from Jamaica... it really adds to the flavor!

    Jerk Chicken Meal
    Jamie D.

    Pretty good serving for the price. The plantains were done well, but the jerk chicken wasn't as fall off the bone tender as I wished. I also wasn't a huge fan of the jerk chicken seasoning. It was more on the spicier side than flavorful side.

    It's a cute little food bus!

    Located in a very shady food truck park. The food was superb and priced very well. I had the curried goat and it was amazing. Also loved the plantains and Jamaican soda. Perfect spot with lots of shade too.

    Always excellent customer service, nice Jamaican music to set the vibe. Great food 10/10

    Jerk chicken - Lg portion
    Allison T.

    It was my first time trying Jamaican food and oh my goodness it was delicious! I ordered the large portion of the Jerk Chicken meal. It is so flavorful and has a nice kick to it without it being overwhelming. It came with rice and peas, fried plantains and steamed veggies (cabbage, carrot, etc.) I definitely would order from here again. The man helping me called me sweetheart which made me feel special

    Beef Patties
    Rowan K.

    I've been looking for good Jamaican chicken for the longest & I've tried 2 other places in Austin but this is my new favorite! I found it by a quick search and saw how close it was to me and decided to stop by and try it after reading some reviews. The owner was wonderful and the food here is amazing! The jerk chicken was falling off the bone, the plantains were sweet and yummy, and the rice & peas were the best! I will definitely be coming here regularly now! Highly recommend!

    I was so happy to see a new food truck opening near our neighborhood! I tried the jerk chicken meal and it was delicious. The chicken was so flavorful, tender and moist. The food came out piping hot and tasted fresh. The owners are super nice, I wasn't sure if the jerk chicken would be too spicy for my two year old daughter and they gave me a sample to try before ordering. My daughter loved it too and kept asking for more. Looking forward to trying other items on the menu!

    Canje is yet another reminder that Austin's food scene just keeps getting better and better…read more We brought a group of eight colleagues for a business dinner, and it was one of the most memorable dining experiences of our trip. A helpful note: for parties of eight or more, the restaurant pre-selects the menu and serves one portion per person of each dish. At first I wasn't sure what to expect, but it ended up being the best part of the experience because we got to try so many incredible dishes. Honestly, everything was spectacular. A few standouts were the pink pineapple, plantain chips, ceviche, sweet potatoes, and the beef curry. The atmosphere is hip, vibrant, and beautifully designed. The service was warm, attentive, and made the whole evening feel special. One thing to know: it is loud. The music is part of the experience, and conversations may require you to lean in a bit. But the energy is fun, lively, and completely fits the vibe of the restaurant. I truly loved it here and would absolutely return the next time I'm in Austin.

So this fit the vibes and aesthetics for a nice sit down Caribbean meal for date night, celebration, or just because. However, two things: they had "valet" for a man to back our car into a spot which we could've done & then tip as you like. It felt very odd and unsure of how much to tip despite the quick "put it in reverse" idk if this is just a thing here in Austin. But he was pushing is QR code for Venmo the whole experience. 2nd, it was way too loud and dark to see or even have a convo. Loud music and all the conversations blurred each other out. Man I wanted to get out of there ! As for food, they did ask if we were okay with spicy but man all the food was spicy that it masked all the other flavors. Super cool to incorporate suya as we've been watching and hearing about it in food shows but I don't think it was used in a way to complement the food. It was just like bam I am suya ! My fave was the beef patties. The tapas are very small. Smaller than photo size prob so make sure to order enough or asks your server. The chicken was very hefty and was given bbq sauce to help mild the spice. Nice to have but it did not pair well with the Caribbean flavors. The price is decent compared to what we have but compared to Austin prices a bit higher. All and all looks cool, nice place to experience maybe once, but a pass for us next time.

From speaking with Tony Jr. today, they also have a restaurant in Pflugerville. I ordered jerk chicken, which fell off the bones and came with cabbage, rice and peas and plantain. I have traveled to Jamaica a couple of times, this Jamaican food was the real deal. The jerk chicken was a bit spicey but not set your tongue on fire spicey. The rice and peas along with the cabbage was perfectly seasoned. The standout for me was the sweet plantain, spoken like a plantain connoisseur. The plantain was sweet on the inside and slightly charred on the outside...perfect combination. The only improvement would have been for me to get a side of plantain. My food was delivered fast and hot. Tony Jr. was super personable and friendly. There is seating in the center of the food truck park. You hear tunes being played in the background. The food truck park is at the core of East Austin in a semi-residential area. Street parking is available for diners. I look forward to trying curry goat and oxtails and more.

I went for a regular oxtail plate with gungo rice and plantains. Overall I liked it! The oxtail was tender and delicious, the sauce had a nice mix of smoke, sweetness, and a tiny bit of heat. For a regular (as opposed to their large) size plate it felt like a good amount of oxtail I thought based on the description the gungo rice would have a more prominent coconut taste but it was pretty typical Jamaican peas and rice. The star of the plate was the oxtail and the sides don't really factor into my review unless it really stands out in one direction or the other Overall I'd definitely recommend giving them a try and will absolutely be back here to try more of their menu

We decided to eat at Bikkle, close to the University of Texas at Austin on Guadalupe Street. Bikkle is known for its authentic Jamaican cuisine such as jerk chicken, oxtails (hard to find anywhere anymore) and curry goat. Between the four of us, we ordered jerk chicken, curry goat, and curry chicken. We all went for red beans and rice with cabbage. All dishes came with plantain, which is one of my favorites. Having been to Jamaica a couple of times, I can report out that this food is authentic! The flavors were swirls of goodness in every bite. The food was also warm when served. We also ordered jerk chicken egg rolls. Just think about that concept for a minute. The jerk chicken egg rolls were exceptionally good. The highlight for me was the curry goat. First, you do not find goats on many menus. The curry goat was tender and oh so flavorful. Some pieces had associated fat. All in all, everyone was happy with their meals. During our dinner, only one person was serving customers. She was super friendly and personable. I must think she was overworked as the stream of customers came in. Now for the décor...if you walked in and looked only at the counter, you would have thought it was a "to go" restaurant only as many "to go" containers were stacked high on the counter. Only one other couple sat down and ate in the restaurants and most folks were picking up their food to go. Even the people eating inside the restaurant were served in "to go" containers. The inside is minimalist with no ornate furnishings and yellow walls, projecting a Caribbean feel. Recommend adding a bit more Jamaican artifacts such palm trees, Jamaican flag, surfboard, etc. It would be a great spot for students, friend meet ups and a causal date night... Bikkle Jamaican Restaurant it was great and represented authentic Jamaican food well! We definitely will be returning.
