Bikkle Jamaican Restaurant
Head just a few blocks north of campus and the smell of jerk chicken will probably hit before you even make it to the front door of Bikkle, a Jamaican restaurant with a bare-bones interior. The menu features lots of Jamaican classics, like curry goat, jerk chicken, and oxtails, plus a few dishes that we don’t see as much of in Austin, like ackee and saltfish or escovitch fish. The jerk chicken can be a bit on the dry side here, but it also packs more spice and charred flavor than other Jamaican spots in town—a compromise we’re willing to accept.
