    I had a disappointing experience at Curry Tabanca. The portion sizes were extremely small, just a spoonful of each item, leaving the meal feeling very lacking. On top of that, the food was overly salty, which made it quite unappetizing. I won't be returning which is sad because I used to love the food.

    This was my first time at Curry Tabanca, and I was impressed. We got some doubles and an aloo pie, and I also got a beer as well. The food was so tasty!! The restaurant is quite small, and there isn't too much seating inside, so keep that in mind if you're in a bigger group. There were 4 of us and at first there were no tables, but after a few minutes, some people left and we were able to secure a table. The restaurant is in a small strip mall, with a few parking spots right in front of the restaurant.

    After seeing raving reviews about this restaurant, I figured I MUST try out this Caribbean restaurant. I love supporting local and especially love Caribbean cuisine. This cozy restaurant is located in a small strip mall off of a busy road so I was sure it would be busy, luckily when walking in, there was only one other person. The customer service could use improvement as there is a feeling of being rushed when ordering and being asked "is that it?" After each item. Ended up ordering doubles and the lunch special. Waited just a few moments and the doubles came out followed by the lo mein, rice and bbq lunch special. The doubles bara was a little stiff and the channa was more on the watery side, but it was edible. The lunch special was just okay. I had higher expectations set after hearing much hype about the restaurant but I feel like a small improvement in the quality of the food and customer service would make for a better experience.

    Goat Roti & Doubles. RIPOFF. The Curried Goat was truly lacking in Meat and consisted mostly of Bones. HORRIBLE. The Doubles was also minimally filled. Difficult to eat being both messy and soggy. EXPENSIVE. Paid over $20 for this AWFUL Meal. AVOID.

    I first stopped by here about five years ago, and I've been hooked ever since. Not too big inside, about 5 tables, each with 4 chairs. I've never had to wait for a table but I imagine it can get busy. The doubles are my absolute favorite--I'll drive almost an hour just to enjoy them. Every Trini has their go-to spot for doubles, and this one is mine. Their roti and curries are fantastic too. The service is always on point with great energy. It's the closest thing to home-cooked meals I remember.

    Chicken double. Yum.

    This place gets 4 stars in food alone. It seems they recently redid the place and painted it a light baby blue and put metal chairs. That's it. Nothing else. No art in the walls, or lights to give you a cozy feeling. There is a long mirror along the left wall when you enter, that was there before they painted and that's it. It feels super bare. Plus, my husband always complains about the smell, which I don't mind, but I get it. It's like mistolin (a perfumey cleaner) and isn't conducive to being in a restaurant, instead it smells like a bathroom cleaner. With that said, the place is immaculate. I asked if it was under new management, they said no. There's an ATM machine in a corner. A guy came in and the lady behind the counter said, you don't need to use the atm we take cards now. Service was fast and lady behind the counter, helpful and accommodating. This place is a great take out. The roti here is to die for.

    Although this spot is a little out of my way, it's quickly becoming one of my favorite Trini places…read morein South Florida. Like... worth the drive every time. Service is always fast and friendly, and you can either dine in or take it to go. When you walk in, you order at the counter. They've got the hot food station right there with options displayed behind the counter so you can see exactly what you're getting (dangerous in the best way lol). Some items -- like the rotis and fry bakes -- are cooked fresh when you order. Then there's the fresh doubles station, where they assemble your doubles right in front of you. I've stopped in plenty of times before, but these past two weeks I was deep in my Trini breakfast cravings, so I went twice and tried two different classics. First visit: I got a fry bake with all the things -- baigan choka (grilled, mashed, seasoned/spiced eggplant), tomato choka (grilled, mashed, seasoned/spiced tomatoes, fried aloo (potatoes), buljol (shredded saltfish with tomatoes, onion, peppers done the Trini way), and smoked herring sautéed with Trini herbs. The breakfast usually comes with the fry bake or sada roti and 2-3 sides... but listen! Everything looked too good, so I ordered extra sides. And I'm glad I did. It was flavorful, comforting, and honestly reminded me of my mom's home cooking. A real-deal Trini breakfast. Second visit: I went back for the bake and shark -- because if it's on the menu, I'm ordering it. Another iconic Trini classic street food, cooked fresh when you order. The fry bake was soft and fluffy, stuffed with perfectly fried shark, and topped with a nicely seasoned lettuce/coleslaw-style mix. Great size, super satisfying, and absolutely hit the spot. And yes -- I always ask for their in-house hot pepper sauce. They make it fresh daily and it has a serious spicy kick (the kind Trinis appreciate). Even though I went for breakfast, everything in the hot food station looked so good that I couldn't leave without grabbing boneless curry chicken with paratha roti to take home for later. They also have a bone-in chicken option, because some of us Trinis need the bone for full flavor, okay lol but I got boneless. I've had their paratha before -- soft, fluffy, and perfect for soaking up curry. Their curries are always well-seasoned and full of flavor. By the register, they sell traditional Trini snacks and sweets -- things like kurma, chocolates, and fudge. I grabbed the fudge this time and whew... it was rich, creamy, and dangerously good. Like "why did I not buy two?" good. You do get 4 fudge squares in the pack. All in all, I honestly can't say enough good things about this place. I've never had a bad meal here, and I'll absolutely keep making the drive whenever my Trini cravings hit again. Tabanka stays delivering

Others serve memories…read more For me, Joy's Roti Delight isn't just the best Trinidadian restaurant in Broward County--it's a place that's been part of my life for years. I've been eating there since they were in their original location connected to Lauderhill Mall, and no matter how many restaurants I've visited as a chef, Joy's has always felt like home. Walk through the front door and you'll see the large photo of Mr. Vishwanath "Joy" Sawh. That picture is more than decoration--it's a reminder of the man whose kindness and passion built a place that has fed generations of South Floridians. I'm grateful I had the opportunity to meet him. He was genuinely one of the nicest people you'd ever want to meet. And the food? Simply outstanding. Their doubles are, in my opinion, the best in Broward--soft, fresh, perfectly balanced, and packed with authentic Trinidadian flavor. It's no surprise they're one of the dishes people rave about over and over in public reviews. The curry goat is tender and deeply seasoned. The curry chicken is rich and comforting. The curry duck is phenomenal. The stew chicken tastes like it came straight from a family kitchen. Pair any of them with their flavorful rice and peas, curry potatoes, or curry chickpeas, and you understand why Joy's has built such a loyal following over the years. But believe it or not... my favorite side is the pumpkin. Funny enough, I used to never eat pumpkin. Mr. Joy himself convinced me to give it a chance, telling me how good it was for me. If you know what I mean I finally listened--and I've been hooked ever since. It's funny how the smallest conversations can stay with you forever. Don't leave without trying their homemade pepper sauce either. It brings just the right amount of heat while letting the flavors of the food shine. As an Executive Chef who's fortunate enough to eat at restaurants across South Florida, I know great food when I taste it. But what separates Joy's isn't just the cooking--it's the heart behind it. The recipes, the consistency, the culture, and the people have made this place a landmark for Trinidadian cuisine. Rest in peace, Mr. Vishwanath "Joy" Sawh. Thank you for the meals, the conversations, and the legacy you've left behind. Your name still brings people together around a table, and that's one of the greatest accomplishments anyone in the restaurant business could ever hope for. Some legacies are written in history books. Yours is written in every plate that comes out of that kitchen.

Shalama's Roti Shop offers traditional Trinidadian food items such as roti (chicken, vegetable, beef), doubles, phoulorie, aloo pie, and much more at reasonable prices. I greeted a male employee who took my order of stew chicken, one double with tamarind sauce and cucumber chutney, and one dhalpourie roti. My food was given to me within a few minutes. I started with the double which was delicious. The barra had a nice texture as it was filled with curried channa, complemented by the tamarind sauce and cucumber chutney. The stew chicken was served with a small salad, rice and peas, and boiled vegetables. Everything was well-prepared, especially the dhalpourie roti.
