Canje
9.5
"canje is truly excellent.
this is one of my favorite spots in austin. certainly top 3 for a splurge meal and perhaps #1.
haven’t been in over a year and a half and was lucky enough to go 2x in one month.
highlights:
-roti. this is a must. very flaky and tasty and perfect for dipping in some of the entrees. do not skip. I will say the roti was a little inconsistent on these visits but still a 8.5/10 instead of a 9.5/10 as in the past.
-oxtail beef patties. so flavorful and awesome. the pastry is perfect and the meat complements well. only wish they were bigger.
-geera. this is also an incredible dish. in the past the waygu curry was my favorite but they nerfed it significantly so this is now my entree rec. so many flavors. meat perfectly cooked.
-fish rundown. amother main course highlight. sauce was top tier and the dumplings were a pleasant surprise.
-pink pineapple. kinda expensive for fruit but worth trying. the sauce complements it well.
-tres leches. need I say more? head chef here has a background in desserts. it’s evident with this dish. so tasty. perhaps overly decadent and sweet but perfect for those who want to live a little.
canje holds a special place in my stomach and heart. although the curry and roti were not up to previous standards I still rate this one of the best restaurants in austin." - luke
