Once again one of my go to's when in the mood for trini food! On this visit my friend got a veggie roti and I got 2 doubles.. 1 with curry chicken.. we also got 2 pineapple ginger juices. Everything was delicious, filling , and ready quickly.

The food is good, but the customer service is terrible. Calling ahead is a waste of time because…read morethey rarely answer the phone. If they do answer, they put you on hold and eventually hang up. Going in person isn't any better. You end up waiting forever because the cashier is either nowhere to be found or ignores you when you try to get their attention. When they finally acknowledge you, they say "hold on" or "give me a minute," but that turns into 30-45 minutes just to place your order. After that, you still have to wait another hour for your food. Good food alone isn't enough to make up for such poor service.

Kathy's hospitality was top notch and I was introduced to good old fashioned Trinidad hot sauces that ranged from hot to burning. I had a vegetarian combo of small plates including callaloo, mac & cheese, lentil stew, what looked liked malanga to me and a polenta like dish. I really went for the currant rolls, which by themselves are a 5 star. They are made with the real fruit here, not raisins.

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

I am ethnolinguistically deaf when it comes to the accent of the fine people of Trinidad. It might…read morebe the inflection or the use of unique words, but while I definitely hear English, it sounds scrambled, as though I were missing the decryption key. So when my RA announced that my first college roommate would be arriving from Chaguanas, I fully expected a Mexican guy. Instead, Vivek turned out to be Indo‑Trinidadian. For months, he asked me a ton of questions, and because I felt rude asking him to repeat himself, I'd respond with, "Yeah mon." (I still don't know why, he isn't Jamaican). If he gave me a pouty face, I'd say, "Naaaah." One Sunday, halfway through the semester, he woke up first and asked, "Yuh hungrry ahwah?" "Yeah mon," I replied. He shrieked, grabbed his keys, and bolted straight out of the house wearing a tie‑dye Ganesh T‑shirt, shower shoes, and white, 1970s‑era style basketball shorts. Somehow, it worked for him. As he ran down the stairs, he yelled back, "Yuh dotish ahwah, come boy?!" Thirty minutes later, the scent of onions, curry, and chilis filled the air. A group of older guys making a ruckus while watching cricket on an iPad greeted us like long‑lost relatives. One handed me a plastic cup filled with a brown liquid that smelled like Banana Now n' Laters and said, "Don study it. Drink up." My mouth, esophagus, and stomach immediately staged an intervention. With crossed arms and a stern dad voice, they declared: NO MORE OVERPROOF RUM! In response, Vivek sighed, "Miss Mataji (I miss my mom)." and handed me my first Double, a curried chickpea stuffed fry bread, as a chaser. Then came an Aloo Pie, basically an empanada stuffed with spiced mashed potatoes, followed by a friendly slap on the back as one of the cricket connoisseurs shoved a Carib Lager into my hand. Fifteen minutes in, I had already consumed two drinks, so whatever I ate next needed to be hearty. Though the Oxtail tempted me, I respected my vegetarian friend's dietary restrictions. I ordered a Buss‑Up‑Shot or a chopped, griddled roti that crisps as it cooks, paired with a Vegetarian Combo of channa (chickpeas), curried potatoes, roasted pumpkin, and a creamed spinach‑like side called bhagge. I washed it all down with the first pear soda of my life: Peardrax. Though the Pholourie, lentil‑dough hushpuppies served with chutneys weren't sweet, they somehow became dessert. I paired them nicely with an Apple‑J, or carbonated fruit juice that tasted like childhood. Vivek didn't miss his mom for long. Apparently, he had tried out for the Trini national soccer team, the Soca Warriors, during his secondary school years. In true Caribbean fashion, it took nearly 10 months to get a callback. Semester be damned, he left the following weekend. Though I'll never forget the impromptu going‑away party, in the end, I have never learned to decode the Trinidadian accent. I do know that when friends share their food and culture with you, you become universally fluent in their language.

Absolutely incredible. We were told to relax, take a seat, and the food came straight to us, hot and full of flavor. They checked in, laughed with us, and made us feel right at home. The ambience was on point with sweet Caribbean music pumping, real West Indies energy in the air. They were even thoughtful enough to check if the music level was good for our kids, which says everything about their heart. Honestly, it felt like we stepped out of Florida and got teleported straight to the islands. My wife was smiling ear to ear, the kids were doing their little dances, and my belly was happy, plus I had food to take home because the portions are generous. I was more than happy to spend my money at a place that truly gets it right. The prices were well priced also. We'll definitely be back for more goat roti, bussup, and veggies.
