Canje Austin Reviews
Canje is undeniably one of Austin's hottest restaurants
Canje is undeniably one of Austin's hottest restaurants right now. From the moment you step inside, the ambiance sets the stage for an extraordinary dining experience. The service is amazing, and the food? Fresh and flavorful. Despite its Caribbean f

We had the best experience at Canje last night! Everything from the food to the service was impeccable. Every dish we tried was so thoughtfully created, from appetizers to desserts. We tried several things but the Jerk Chicken, Albacore Ceviche, Guya
Impressive on all fronts. Menu creativity. On point service
Wholly unpretentious atmosphere with excellent food. Patio was perfect in the evening. Every dish was complex, balanced, worth the time to discover all the layered flavors and ingredients. We couldn't get enough! We shared these items and would order
I'm still reeling from our incredible experiences.
We were so impressed that we ended up visiting twice in one week. The menu offered a diverse range of dishes, and we couldn't resist trying a variety - beef patties, ceviche, guacamole, roti, jerk chicken, and more. Each dish was a masterpiece, with
Many people recommended I dine here and finally I did.
Loved the overall ambiance of Canje. At 5:00, there was a decent number of people, music was in full swing, and the servers buzzed around. I enjoyed the warm, bohemian decor as well. Service was amazing! I unfortunately do not know the name of our
LOUD
Good, interesting food, but so loud I thought my head was going to actually implode. Inside is a no-go zone. I've been in loud places but this place is the worst, ever.
I used to love Canje.
..it's gone down a bit in quality and experience for me. The food, somehow, isn't as good as when they began. Be it menu changes, or just the volume of customers, it's starting to suffer a bit, and that's a shame. Also, it's LOUD in that room. The mu

With vibes as cool as a Caribbean breeze, this place nails the fusion game. The service was exceptional! They practically serenade you with descriptions of their dishes. Now, let's talk food. The albacore ceviche? Sweet peppers and crushed peanuts?
Make a reservation as it's pretty popular.
Free parking in their lot on the east side of the restaurant so can avoid valet. Take credit card The music inside is super loud, too loud to have a conversation. So we Sat outside cause it wasn't too hot. Great service. Pepper pot wild boar ($26

Absolutely amazing dining experience.
Food was mouth watering and beyond compare. The best ceviche I have ever had. The roti and pepper rice were so good we ended up ordering more halfway through our meal.

Unbelievably delicious! I am going to be dreaming about the food for a long time! Try the smoked avocado, the pink pineapple, the ceviche, the cabbage, and the tres leches. Also the wine list is perfectly curated.
Unique and flavorful
Phenomenal meal. Pricey but worth it. One of the best meals I've had in ages. Albacore ceviche was a standout as was the tres leches dessert. The jerk chicken was wonderful but so spicy I only made it through one piece - they mean it when they say sp

I have never had such good Cajun food with Texas flare like I have here! The plantains are heavenly and the jerk chicken is out of the park better than any other I've had in Austin so far! If you are looking for a great friends dinner place or a date
Do yourself a favor and order the wild boar cassareep.
It's fatty pig in deep flavored sugary molasses sauce reduction. The best thing I've tasted since an east African restaurant in Brooklyn. In a city of brisket, this is tasty on a ridiculous level.
One of a kind meal.
Best meal I have ever had. Flavors were innovative and unexpected. Everything was tops. The Ox tail was slightly boring, but that's compared to the other amazing offerings.
Another gem in East Austin
This is our new favorite date place - it's in a fun part of town and the food is special. We're not total foodies, but we do appreciate an excellent meal with interesting flavors. The service was good - highly recommend the fish and next time, we wi

Good vibe, sat in the overflow area off the side of the bar even though we were to get a table in the main area, maybe a little better communication between the 3-4 hosts at the front. Besides that yummy food!
Extremely disappointing.
Food was over seasoned and salty. I love Caribbean flavors but the shrimp was so salty and served chopped up in little pieces. Overpriced for what you get. Service was strange because hostess and busser where more helpful and attentive than our ac

I will start by saying that the food here is interesting and good (although I did have a bit of a tummy ache in the middle of the night). The curry was good, a bit fatty but good, and the ceviche was sweet. I love a good stew and they have their sauc

Service was great! Atmosphere was very cool.
We had the jerk chicken, after visiting Jamaica we needed another taste. The chicken was very SPICY. I would say to the point of it wasn't enjoyable because you couldn't taste anything. Had a side of golden rice which was great and their famous bread

Best restaurant in Austin!

It's wise to book your seats ways in advance here.
I was caught lacking and wound up with 10 PM dinner reservations, though luckily they seated us upon our slightly early arrival. It helps that we asked to sit outside, which we did not because it would help us get seated faster but because it was ove
Fantastic Experience!!!!
We wanted a new experience for my husband's birthday, so I made reservations a month ahead. The restaurant vibe was fun, and we were seated in the back dining room close to the bar. It was fabulous, a smaller quieter venue where conversation could be
First time, worth a try!
Canje is different! Very nice place, food and drinks are very creative. Loved the Hog pepperpot and the jerk chicken (it's spicy hot!). Certainly a chic place (food, ambience and prices). Nadeem did a great job of explaining the menu and drinks and w
If you want to pay a lot of money for a little bit of food, come here
After reading several reviews about Canje being the best new Austin restaurant, we made a reservation a month in advance and brought the family here over the holidays. We were ushered to the back room which has none of the fun vibe of the front, des
Delicious Caribbean food
Fantastic Caribbean/Guyana food. Innovative flavor combinations and the best Jerk Chicken ever. Great cocktails and excellent service make this place worth a detour to Austin-which we did.
Creative and Exciting Cuisine
Every dish we ordered at this restaurant shined with interesting and creative flavors. We had the bacalaito (salt fish fritter), a large, crisp fish and potato pancake served with a delicious sauce; the albacore ceviche, tender pieces of tuna in a li
Connect with users posting reservations for Canje Austin
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Canje Austin. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Canje Austin at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Canje Austin page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Canje Austin to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Canje Austin!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
