OMG the food here is beyond delicious , the food was so damn good 10/10 highly recommend. I ordered shrimp double, oxtail double, potato double and 2 orders of curry chicken roti yummy . The service was really good it was crowded however the line was moving smoothly and the staff was very nice. The ambiance was cool. I would definitely be back again and I will recommend it to everyone..
My husband and I love this place. We usually order their roti (buss up) because I make curry pumpkin shrimp at home, but when I don't, that's what we order from here. Also, their double tamarind and oxtail are delicious.
The food was great and fresh. Service is on point and the ambiance is really good. The shop is always crowded and they run a awesome business.
I came here along with my daughter after hearing so many great things about this place. It must have been ment to be because when I got there I found parking right away. Parking is very difficult in this area. The line was very, very long we were on line for about an hour this place is hectic. There's so many workers taking orders but it seems they have a flow in some sort of a way. When you order you have to pay attention to who is making your order and when they put it to the front. The one thing that I can say that bothered me after ordering is I had to go to the register and pay for my bake and shark then go back into the line to oder it. When I say it's like standing on top of each other it's very frustrating. My daughter was very upset until she got to eat her food. We ordered the bale and shark the original way they make it with all of the sauces and spices and it was AMAZING. This was my first time having this dish and it is worth all of the hype put behind it! We also had doubles with shrimp I thought this would have been a lot better it tasted more like a potato than anything I wasn't really a fan of this. Roti with boneless chicken and no potato's this was for my daughter and she enjoyed it. The portions are big so this dish could very well have been shared. Roti with shrimp and potato's was for me now she did give us the wrong roti however it was fine next time I'll make sure we get the right one. This was good also I'm not much of a curry person but this wasn't overwhelming so it was good. Curry goat with the roti on the side which was for my friend and he enjoyed it. This entire experience was really good and I would come again.
Highly recommended spot by my Caribbean friends and it was a lovely experience. They told me the meat was halal so I happily had a regular double and then tried one with goat and one with chicken curry - added tamarind and cucumber to each because it was my first time. Loved the soda selection and traditional desserts! I want to come back and have a place of rice and goat curry and cassava. Never had doubles before and as a Pakistani I've had puri and this was a nice meal to try from a sister culture!
This place is a must go back for sure. The line was all the way to the door. The line moves fast. Be ready to place your order. The folks behind the counter are super fast and super generous with their portions. Everything is so good here. The only thing I'd recommend is asking for the bake and shark to be spicy and not sweet. I didn't grow up eating it with pineapple in Trinidad so it was a bit of a surprise. I tried it only because it was how they usually serve it here at the restaurant. Next time I'd omit the pineapple and sweet sauce. Their goat roti is so good. Don't forget to get one. I wish I had a bigger stomach. *sigh*
Really cool place with its unique Indian trini flavors, service is great as the line always move fast. I always stop by here whenever I'm in queens or something when am graving it I'll drive from The Bronx. I only get and enjoy their doubles and bake and salt-fish). Things I've tried curry chicken roti and I'm not (3 out of 5) Doubles (5 out of 5) Bake and salt-fish (5 out of 5) Current roll (3 out of 5)
I've wanted to try Trinciti for the longest time, and was finally able to swing by on a Sunday afternoon on my way back from JFK. It is about 15 minutes away from the airport, so I think I've found my new favorite first post-flight pitstop. The shop is very busy on weekends, and can be a little intimidating but here are some things to note: - Upon entry, there will be three lines. On your right is the longest and that is the line for doubles and everything else. On the left is the line for pickup orders from either online or on the phone. The line in the middle is where the cash registers are, and that line is specifically for the bake and shark which is only offered on the weekends. You pay first for the bake and shark and receive a ticket, which you will give to the sandwich maker, who is situated next to the registers. - The lines can get a little muddled towards the counter so definitely have in mind what you want to order. I personally loved the doubles (order it with all the sauces and chutneys) and saw a lot of people ordering them in bulk. I also saw a lot of people ordering curries as well and I believe you can order it with either rice or roti (called a buss up). A lot of customers are regulars so don't be afraid to ask for recommendations. But also, don't hold up the line with too many questions. - They have housemade drinks at the register with flavors like mauby and sorrel ($5). Personally, I found the sorrel drink to be too sweet for me, and I didn't like the strong cinnamon flavor as I prefer mine to be spiced with ginger and cloves. Along with the sorrel drink, I also ordered the bake and shark ($18), a shrimp doubles ($4), and an aloo/potato doubles ($3). The bake and shark gets its name from the fried flatbread (bake) and the filling (shark). It was an absolute behemoth of a sandwich, with fried shark filets smothered in a medley of spicy, sweet, herbaceous sauces. The bake and shark was also topped with cucumber, slaw, lettuce, tomato, and a slice of pineapple to really emphasize the freshness and texture of the sandwich. I loved the pineapple as I thought it really highlighted the sandwich's tropical roots. The two doubles (named because it is assembled with two pieces of fried bara dough) were also excellent though I did like the shrimp one more because of the curry flavor. The dough is so soft and soaks up a lot of the stewed chana/chickpea. There was also a very herbaceous cilantro-like taste in the chutney which I have now come to recognize as culantro, which is a very common herb used in Trinidadian cuisine. It is a little messy to eat because the dough is so soft and the filling is so wet so I would definitely recommend bringing extra napkins and some hand sanitizer too. I did not find it spicy at all, even though I did ask for a little bit of everything so I do think the spice levels are suitable for people who can tolerate mild spice. Overall, it was an incredible experience and I cannot wait to return to try their pholouries and oxtail!
I drive all the way from Manhattan to here for their doubles and aloo pies. They are so freaking good and I'm so happy I found this place!! Everything is seasoned to perfection and the meats are cooked well. I really love the curry goat and oxtails here. The curry chicken is tender, but the beef is a little on the drier side. The most addicting part of the aloo pie to me is the texture. The dough is so airy but at the same time has a really satisfying chew when you bite into it. The contrast of the spices from the meat and the aloo with the acidic chutney make for the perfect bite through. Their paratha roti is also astonishingly good. I don't know how they make it so big and flakey, but it also has the same addicting chewy texture once you bite into it. It's better than any path paratha I've had at Indian, Malaysian, or Burmese restaurants I've been to and I've definitely never seen it in California. The service is nothing special, but the line moves quick. I'll definitely be back!!
