My boyfriend told me about this place. He said it's the best place for Trini food. I've been in the mood for it since he mentioned he has some like two weeks ago. Since I'm off this week we were sitting home deciding what to have for lunch and I mentioned how I wanted some. Anyway we took the drive over there.
There was a lot of traffic on that corner where the place is located, lots of ppl going in to order. My bf ordered us some doubles and some buss up shot Roti with shrimp, chanas & aloo all separately.
We got home and I tried it and I gotta say it was extremely good. Just the right amount of spice. The chana was soft (some places make them too hard) the roti was delicate and the curry shrimp was very flavorful.
I wouldn't have thought I would hAve liked the doubles cause it's pretty much a chick pea sandwich, but damnnn the double itself is just so good. I told myself is just take a bite or two to taste but I couldn't stop eating. Yum! This spot is the place to get some good Trini food in my part of Queens.
Only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is cause they charge tax when you use your debit card.
So far love their Chicken Roti. This is a little well known place. Don't let this place fool you…they get busy! Their chicken roti with potatoes and chana is delicious and fresh. Since I'm somewhat new to this concept, i usually go for a little bit of chana and potatoes and XTRA Chicken!
When in the neighborhood…pay them a visit. 🙂
Came here because i heard they have good doubles. They did not disappoint. The doubles were soft and had a good ratio of
Surwa and chicken peas. The chicken peas were seasoned well and had a good taste. I have not tried any other meals here except for the bake and shark. I was not a huge fan but it tasted like fish and bake with a slew of topper items. They also take Card which is a plus. Parking is hard to get around here
Its Three feet, Six feet, Nine feet—Bunch..
Three, three foot white menu boards adorn the far wall, speaking of Tasty Roti, Doubles and a combination board listing Jerk Chicken, BBQ and a few non Trinidadian staples. From Moracas Beach, OhGosh.
In all my wisdom, the plastics not included didn't tip me off to the fact that this is hand food, which, after my return trip sunk into my scull to understand being closer to ones food, almost to a spiritual level.
Ordering my Dahl Puri Goat Roti on Monday was almost DMV line-ish, Tuesdays wait provided a glimmer of hope to a wait time shy of the fifteen minute threshold experienced the day before.
Pholourie balls provided a light and airy aperitif to the impending bicycle seat sized Roti even though the Kuchela (mango style authentic Trinidadian side sauce) was mysteriously missing.
Feeling let down, I engaged my meal, the Channa filling in the inside of my warm bundle of West Indian lunch love. The curry was made very well, assorted spices, aromas and flavors all came together to create a delicious back to back dining experience.
Ehhhh…..I have a love/hate relationship with this place. The bake and shark is excellent, their doubles and roti are tasty but being a native of Queens, I can definitely say I've definitely had better. They sometimes don't have items displayed on their menu, which leads me to believe that they can't handle the rush they get.
The attitude of some of the staff sometimes makes you wonder how they stay in business. You can tell the rush has gotten to them, no smiles, just a "what do you want" attitude (Last time I went, the cashier was cursing someone out under her breath).
In my honest opinion, the ONLY reason I would come out of my way to this establishment is for the bake and shark, but also keep in mind they only have it on the weekends which creates more of a rush, you will have to look for parking, and in that area, parking is a pain in the butt!
Authentic West Indian food! The Bake and Shark is awesome!
Whenever I'm craving West Indian food I go to Richmond hill, Queens and specifically to Trincity roti shop. The food is authentic, I personally enjoy the doubles, aloo pie, bake and shark and home made peanut punch.
The place itself is small and almost always crowded, a typical West Indian snack shop. There are a few (approximately 4) tables to dine-in if needed.
The staff is a typical West Indian staff, not so friendly and quick to the point. They have heavy West Indian accents and can be difficult to understand. This is not a place for a dining experience or to have a dine in dinner. It's a grab and go kind of place.
On the service end the place is probably 2 stars, I'm rating this place 4 stars because the food is amazing.
While staying at my aunt's house, we were looking for a quick spot to pick up lunch to take back to her house and we're lucky we found this place highly reviewed on Yelp.
Every review mentions the doubles, so we knew we had to get that. We ordered one each; they are only $1.25!! Amazing!! Everyone was coming in ordering those. One lady ordered 15 to go! This is mainly a to-go spot.
We also got goat roti which was very tasty as well. Heads up though, the meat is on the bone, so if you ordered it wrapped, it could be difficult to eat. We got our roti on the side since we had to travel with it and we didn't want it to get soggy, which was a good call. This dish was also good, but the all star dish was definitely the doubles.
The doubles were awesome and such a bargain! I've been raving about them to my family since we have been. If you're in area, definitely drop by for some. It's like a fried, flat, fluffy bread that's piled high with curried chick peas in a very nice sauce. It's delicious!
Came here on a Tuesday morning around 8am. I was craving bake a salt fish, doubles and tamberine balls. The double were good, the bake and Salt fish wasn't too good. It didn't really have much flavor so I was disappointed. The tamberine balls didn't have flavor and seemed to be sugary instead of tangy. This is a Trini owned restaurant so I thought they'd make everything like the Guyanese but I guess not. GT does it better.
