    The menu of the restaurant.

    The restaurant is clean updated. The menu is full of different types of dishes even breakfast options. They even have Caribbean drinks and sweets.

    They have reopened! There's a 10 to 15 mins wait after you order, and usually a line of people ordering so b be prepared to be patient. There's barely any parking for people driving, so bring someone to double park. The place opens at 10 am & cash only for now. The $2 doubles are delicious! The best I've had! The puri/poori is made fresh, the pepper is perfect & the chana is so flavorful! This is a minority family owned business. The owner works on site with his family, give them a visit! Happy Yelping!

    The menu!!

    The food is deliciouso " sucking the curry out of the bone lol the chicken is tender and the salt fish was prepared properly and it was very fresh. The service was friendly and the older lady was very pleasant when she was taking my order. I love the roti, the kitchen is clean from what can see through the glass and the prices are worth it because the food is fresh, not overly seasoned.

    My new favorite food - doubles! I see what the hype is about and I'll be buying a few doubles to…read moretake home next time. The shop is steady busy with takeout orders and the occasional folks (like me) who wanted to sit and enjoy my first doubles there. They only have two tables and chairs. Most people order to go. You may order at the kiosk and wait for your number to be called when it is ready to pick up. The kiosk is good because it easily shows all the sauces you may add to your doubles and the variety of other things like drinks, etc you may order. There is also the option to get in line and place your oder. You can watch the assembly line of workers quickly making food. Then check out with the cashier. They sell lots of different cakes, breads, nuts, and drinks too. I was a little overwhelmed on what to order, but a nice employee helped me out. I showed him what I was trying to order and asked for suggestions. Thanks to him I had the best doubles! Added tamarind sauce, mango chutney, and the benny sauce. The perfect vegetarian meal for $2.50! It is made of roti (flatbread), curried chickpeas, and topped with the sauces. Then rolled up to make a sandwich. So flavorful! I wasn't too sure which drink to get as I wasn't sure what they all tasted like. Chose the Seamoss drink, which is a mix of milk, seams, nutmeg, and some spices. Milky and not overly sweet. This was good. Maybe next time I'll get sorrel, which is hibiscus. They said the peanut drink is good too. Ordered Pholourie with tamarind sauce. These are fried savory dough balls. I couldn't resist getting a sweet treat. So, I randomly picked the salara bread, which looks like a cinnamon swirl bread slice. It is actually stuffed with shredded coconut that is colored red and tastes like cherry. Pretty good and not overly sweet. Definitely add this place to your list of eats in Queens. It is a trek from the city, but so good! Also, nice that it is a little bit away from the loud busy part of Liberty Ave in Richmond Hill. This is about a 15-20 min walk from there on Lefferts Blvd. Restroom available.

Every bite was full of flavor, and the meat practically fell off the bone. The doubles were just as impressive. The bara was soft and fresh, the channa was perfectly seasoned, and the tamarind and pepper sauces brought everything together with the perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and spicy. The portions are generous, the food is fresh, and the flavors taste just like homemade Trini cooking. Whether you're a longtime fan of Trinidadian cuisine or trying it for the first time, Trinciti delivers every time. Highly recommended!

    Stopped by this roti spot after seeing that they advertised doubles and salt and bake -- I went in…read morespecifically excited to try the salt and bake. Unfortunately, they were out when I arrived, which was a bit of a letdown since that was the main reason for my visit. That said, I pivoted and ordered a double instead, and it turned out to be a solid choice. The double was flavorful, especially with the added peppers, and everything tasted fresh and well-seasoned. At just $3, it's hard to argue with the value -- a very fair price for a quick, satisfying bite. Overall, the food itself was good and definitely scratched the Caribbean street-food itch. The ambiance was standard and clean. My only real disappointment was the lack of salt and bake, since it's something I was genuinely looking forward to trying. Still, if you're in the area and craving an affordable, tasty double, this spot delivers. I'll likely give it another shot in hopes of catching the full menu next time.

    When my favorite Roti shop went out of business shortly after Covid, I could not find a place to…read moreget my Roti and Doubles from until Down D Island Roti shop opened. Food is always fresh. The doubles sell out fast best to go early or call to order and let them know when you will be in to pick up. The owner is so sweet and it's always a pleasure talking to her when I go. They do have limited seating inside but I have always done takeout.
