OMG!!! I finally found a real Trini restaurant in New Jersey! The food tastes just like home--every bite was full of authentic Trinidad flavor. The customer service was warm, friendly, and exceptional, and the place was spotless. If you've been searching for genuine Trini food, this is the place! I'm already looking forward to my next visit. 10/10--highly recommended!Right here in Newark nj all this time mins away you guys don't understand how much money I wasted these different restaurants thank you Brennon and Erica read more

Food is amazing, service is friendly and ambiance is island like. Cow-foot soup is recommended read more

Omg the goat curry and chicken curry was delicious! They give you so much meat for the portion size, I've been trying to find the best Caribbean restaurants in this area and you get the most bang for your buck with this place. The service was so good, the two ladies working there were so friendly and made sure I ordered the things I want since it was my first time. Parking can get tricky, but you should be fine if you're just picking up. read more

Cynthia's Caribbean Bakery - Currant Roles....Beautiful size, nice and flaky Delicious in every way - Bakeries Near Me - Irvington, New Jersey

Great cow foot soup can be a little bony but the flavor is all there. The doubles are also fantastic. The food quality has gone down a bit at one point. It was very very good now it's just mediocre. They need to do better cause there's a lot of competition out there. Service is quite typical and the ambience is just a simple walk-in restaurant with La Caribbean music playing I go occasionally to get my usual the cow for soup, the beef patties and the sugar sticks, coconut buns, Solara rolls, etc. lol it still has some good standing the bakery part is wonderful read more

Went on a Saturday at ~4pm and there were about 5 people ahead in line, decently distanced for the space. -Curry beef roti: good but the curry was milder than I prefer. -T&T pie: first time tasting. It had good flavor but little meat. -Cassava pone: good -Current roll: good size, good flavor Overall good. read more

Food and service is GREAT!! Cynthia was very cordial and welcoming . Coconut rolls , which ai love, tasted amazing. I love the veggie roti and cow foot soup. Definitely will make this place my go to for Trini food. read more

Food was good, but the recipe has changed with the curry flavor. Something was missing from the times I visited before. The service is always great and the price and quantity were also very good. It's a fast food restaurant so no place to sit, but the atmosphere was nice. I recommend. read more

I was craving some Caribbean food and found this place was open. I called in my order to a very nice man. I ordered the fish with rice and beans and sides. When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked in and was greeted, the place wasn't too big to eat inside. I told the man I ordered the fish and he said give it a few more minutes. I paid in the meantime and it came to $14. When the food was ready, about 7 more minutes, I grabbed it and left. When I got home I dug in. The food was really good and very flavorful. I really enjoyed the beans and greens mix. I definitely would go back to try more. read more

Delicious food, especially the baked food/ pastry . Doubles, Aloo pie, dhal puri freshly made. Delicious !! Friendly staff, take out only. Parking is the worst. read more

This was a great place to decide to take a chance on! I usually Yelp anything before trying it but literally could not get the chance to breathe to do so after a very busy work day. I wasn't exactly sure what I want it but I knew that I wanted roti. I ordered curry chicken roti and asked that the roti be separate from the curry chicken so that it would not get soggy in transit. A pleasant woman called me and offered me other options because the curry chicken was still cooking. I stuck with my instinct and said I'd wait for the chicken. Glad I did that. It was great. Well cooked, well seasoned. The roti was well made and a very large portion for the price. I had a coconut currant roll for later that day and was very pleased with that as well. I will be trying other dishes quite soon. read more

Great service and good food. I purchased a curry chicken roti unwrapped and a beef roti wrapped. Huge portions and cooked to perfection. You have a new customer in me. read more

Quality was amazing!! The price is well worth it & the packaging was wonderful!!! Definitely great to have moved from Brooklyn to NJ & have a taste of authentic carribean cuisine. Thank you guys!! read more

I had the oxtail and it was amazing, my friend had the curry goat and that was so good too. We went back the next day for bake and saltfish, we've gone back several time since. Great spot for takeout. read more

Excellent spot for Trinidadian food. 1) My favorite item is doubles. It is Indian-influenced puri bread with chana (curried cheakpeas). 2) For dessert, try the Currant bread, it is fantastic. It is a type of fruit (raisin like by little sour), with sweet roll of bread. 3) I also tried the aloo pie, which is good, not amazing like chana doubles. 4) I also got beef curry with Roti, which was good. read more

Stopped here for breakfast got bake and saltfish and some fish pies everything was good.

Home of the best Caribbean food in Essex county. For years I've been searching high and low for a place that meets my Caribbean food cravings. This place is hands down the best!!! Everything they serve here is immaculate read more

Service and food. Can't go wrong with roti. Wanted roti skins for the holidays and the lady was very accommodating as I came from a long way. Will definitely go back. read more

This is my first trip to Cynthia's Carribean Bakery and boy am I glad that I tried this place! I ordered doubles which were very tasty with and without the sour. The coconut roll was a 8/10 for me. It was fresh and flakey I could taste the spices and coconut in each bite. My only con is the limited parking as it is nestled in a busy downtown area. Chicken roti, where do I start. Chicken is seasoned, well proportioned, fresh a solid 9/10. I will be back for certain. read more

The food is yummy and Trinidad worthy but I would suggest one thing. When doing ubereats or app orders. Please get sticky strips and not staples to secure the order. Remember it's food. You don't want to staple anything near food. Besides that I would give this 10 stars. read more

I think this has to be the worst roti I have ever eaten! The meat had no flavor. The roti was over sized and there was no curry. Just horrible. So disappointing! I am not Trinidadian but Panamanian from Brooklyn and have been eating roti since I was a little girl. I also have Trinidadian friends so I know what a roti should taste like. read more

This is my treat place for some good trini food and always accurate. The place is small and call before you go to order your food otherwise you'll be waiting ( that's how good the food is). read more

Very clean and friendly I ordered the potato and channa roti and dhalpurri skin. Omg it was delicious Ms .Cynthia you have a new customer. I can't wait to try the other things on the menu read more

So, I decided I didn't want to cook today and had a taste for some Caribbean food - I also wanted some homemade bread. I came on yelp and this place was well rated. The gentleman who took our order was very pleasant and helpful. The food was served promptly. If I had to name one gripe - being a Southern / Caribbean gal, I look for particular seasonings in my food. But, I understand restaurants wanting to commercialize their food for the masses but ... a lil more seasoning would've been awesome! I'll purchase again though. read more

Heard a lot of good things about this restaurant, sad to say it was a waste of a drive. The roti wasn't even made with curry, maybe it was turmeric potatoes and shrimp or saffron because that surely wasn't curry. Very little flavor, not sure how these businesses stay around making such horrible food. In Trinidad this place would be a joke, I couldn't even taste seasoning on anything. Pastries didn't even look like they should. read more

I typically buy the shrimp roti. The roti taste authentic. However, they are not reliable with their hours of operation and they do not answer the phone. I have driven 15 plus minutes to the store and it was closed earlier than what's advertised. Happened again yesterday, so they lost a new customer that quick. read more

Great Caribbean food. I've been here twice so far and was not disappointed with my roti. It was flavorful and filling.

this place is bomb! the food is incredible the staff is so friendly and helpful. The area is not so great but id drive 20 mins just to eat here thats how good it is.. The pastries are on another level! I love caribbean food and this place definitely meets the mark! Cant wait to eat here again! read more

Oh yeah! It's worth the trip esp. when I was seriously craving Trinidadian food at that time. Everything is insanely delish and reasonably priced! I'm gladly coming back again! read more

Parking is street. The staff women are nice. There is a table setting if you wish to sit. The prices are reasonable and the area looks clean. read more

This place is an all-time favorite. The cow foot soup is the best I've ever had. When it comes to West Indian pastries they're on point as well. The coconut drop is fantastic! Also their main dishes like the curry and roti and all that other stuff is just fantastic. read more

The food is delicious and authentic Trinidadian cuisine. They are very accommodating and hospitable. My whole family loves the food and especially Sunday food. We highly recommend. read more

The customer service was great and the currant rolls were to die for. Also got warm, buttered bread, which just melted in the mouth. Highly recommend this place. read more

Did not enjoy the food ordered the curry chicken. You could tell the curry burnt in the pot. Would not recommend this spot

Want some goat or curry chicken roti? Come here, I've never been let down whether it's been for roti or beef/chicken patties. I love coming here and hearing the voice of the owner, always have a little smile and reminds me of my late grandmother. You come here and feel like you're back in the islands (St. Maarten/Dominica) plus the food is really authentic. read more
