Akye Cuisine & Catering in Alabama

"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."

"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!"

"It’s definitely good food, the owner was very nice And the food was Authentic. I got the curry goat and curry chicken combo, substituted cabbage for plantains and a drink which came out to be $49 plus Change tip included. Later I bought a beef patty, which was phenomenal. But it was only her there so we did have to wait for her to make everything fresh, worth the experience if you’ve never been but but something I could afford weekly."

"The food is so delicious. I drive there 30 minutes once a week to enjoy. The atmosphere is great. The staff are authentic and very friendly. This place is a must to try!"
