Akye Cuisine & Catering

My Son and I stopped by on our way home, I’ve heard great things about the restaurant. We had the oxtails, curry chicken, and curry goat…everything was so good. Definitely worth it!! Pineapple ginger beer topped it off!!

As someone who grew up in the islands, I know what authentic island flavors are supposed to taste like—and this Jamaican restaurant nails it, even when it comes to vegetarian options. Their veggie plate is a amazing.The fried plantains are sweet and caramelized, adding the perfect contrast to the savory elements on the plate. Paired with fluffy rice and peas, steamed vegetables, and maybe a side of yams, this veggie plate feels like home. It’s not just a meal; it’s a true taste of island life for plant-based eaters or anyone looking to enjoy a fresh, flavorful dish.

Wasn't too pleased with the service or the plate that I paid for. Restaurant owner. I believe she was trying to sell me that I didn't want, and I've been eating to Jamaican food over 30 years. So I asked the young lady. What comes with the tale meal? She told me rice and peas, cabbage, Plantains and oxtails. I received a plate. It was no cabbage. She told me I had to pay extra for the cabbage for a side till she just completely lied to me. The only thing that was really entertaining when I went to the restaurant was the Jamaican music devil's playing. That's about it.

If I could give this place 1000/10 I would. Coming from NYC being able to eat foods that brought comfort and our family together was super important. It’s amazing to have this gem here in Alabama. The flavors brought me back to my childhood eating oxtails with my family. Do not come here expecting cold, fast service. Good things take time and I promise it is worth the wait. Can’t wait to come back ❤️

My experience at Akye Cuisine & Catering was absolutely wonderful! The Jamaican food was incredibly flavorful and authentic, with every dish showcasing the rich spices and unique ingredients of the island. From tender jerk chicken to perfectly seasoned oxtail, each bite was a true delight. The warm, welcoming atmosphere of the place made it feel like a home away from home. The service was friendly and attentive, and the presentation of the food was impeccable. I highly recommend Akye Cuisine & Catering for anyone craving a taste of Jamaica! ❤️
