Came to visit for something different after school. Bikkle has a great selection of menu items to appeal to a less adventurous eater (like stew, curry, or jerk chicken) as well as more interesting choices, like ackee and saltfish, curry goat, and oxtails.We had the curry chicken and the jerk chicken. The plate included plantains, potato salad, and a very generous helping of rice and peas. The food was flavorful and delicious. The meat is not off the bone so it was a bit difficult to eat, but the taste definitely made up for it. We also had a spicy beef patty, which both of us thoroughly enjoyed. The prices were very reasonable, only $35 for the amount of food shown below.Service was friendly and quick, and staff was patient with answering questions about menu items. We will definitely be back!
I had the oxtail. I’d never had oxtail before, so it was interesting. The sauce on the oxtail was tasty. The cabbage was sweet, which I didnt like. Overall it was okay but I won’t get it again, especially considering it was $22. Much better meals nearby at Aster’s or wherever.The indoor decor was pretty barren tbh. No photos or anything. I wouldnt bring a date here.
Based on reviews, I couldn't choose between the oxtail and goat curry - so I got them both in the pick two combo. WOW. The curry packed a punch of flavor and the tender oxtail meat slid off the bone. The rice soaked up all the spices and even the cabbage was seasoned just right, to balance out the dish.The owner shared that the recipes are from their grandmother and that each family has their own spin on the dishes, which I love. Add a patty and one of the Jamaican sodas to your order to turbocharge the tasting experience.
I’m from Jamaica from Spanish Town and I wouldn’t call this Jamaican foodBought curry chicken and rice and peasBrown stew chicken and festival and beef Pattie’s and none of these dishes taste authentic . The food isn’t terrible but you can tell they aren’t using the right spices for the flavor. They got the color on the curry but doesn’t taste like curry and it’s almost sweet for some reasonSame thing with the brown stew chicken —doesn’t have the right flavor or spices.The festivals don’t even look right but i have it a try and immediately spit it out. That has more of a dried cinnamon roll flavor — which festivals shouldn’t. honestly all the food is kind of sweet not sure why.Like i said, wasn’t bad…It’s probably tough to find the right spices to buy here in Austin anyways but Probably wouldn’t order from here again if I’m looking for authentic Jamaican food because this is absolutely not it
The food was delicious and especially want to call out the customer service! I placed an order for delivery that was cancelled twice by DoorDash drivers. Sharing in my frustration, the restaurant brought me my order themselves and ensured it was was fresh even after all the time had passed. Really appreciate this care and will be ordering again!
I had lunch at Bikkle for the first time yesterday; I will definitely return. The chicken stew was delicious; a bust of flavors, fresh and the serving size is generous.
Best Jamaican food I ever had and I know my food, ox tails were tender, meaty, flavorful, with a perfect little kick of spice even the cabbage and rice and peas were on point can’t complain one bit. I also highly recommend the jerk chicken egg rolls. Overall 10/10 it’s a bit pricey but you won’t mind or regret it because it’s all top quality
We've been to Jamaica and long for really good Jamaica food. We ordered the Jerk Chicken since it is a staple. It was just OK. We'll be back to try other items. We really wish they had better food descriptions on the menu and that they'd put some effort into decorating. The interior takes minimalism to the next level... chairs and tables, that is it.
At first I was a little mad about the wait but it was well worth it. This is the best Jamaican food I ever had in my life.
Ordered the curry chicken & oxtails & I totally recommend them! Very tasteful not to spicy We are from out of town and will return there when we come back!!
