This is a decent enough place to eat. I ordered the chicken roti and couldn't really tell the difference between roti and a curry wrap. I think if I came back I would just order the curry chicken on rice as the wrap is huge and ordering a rice dish would be easier to take home leftovers. The proprietor was very nice but wasn't very helpful with what to order on the menu. Don't drink the tap water as it tastes like plastic bottles

Way too spicy!! They use really good cuts of meat and the curry taste good but it was totally ruined with too much heat!! Its actually a shame. It was so spicy, it hurt my stomach. I wish i could go back but unfortunately not. They are really nice people. Please consider not using that much heat in your food. Or at least offer a milder version. I actually had to throw most of it in the garbage. I spent almost $100

Family owned restaurant, with delicious authentic food!The staff were super friendly and were great with helping us with recommendations.Restaurant style is order at the counter and pay first.I've been trying to find a restaurant that serves ox tail for quite sometime and finally found one. It definitely did not disappoint.

Lots of flavour and good spice. This is one of our favourite places to get roti. Friendly staff. Enough variety in the menu. Got sorrel, Peardrax, doubles, and beef roti. So good. Never disappoints. My wife is from Trinidad and loves the food from here. So lucky to have good Trinni food close by. Would recommend this place to anyone. We will be back (again). Hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Terrific food. Had the curry goat roti and some doubles. Both items were sheer Trinidadian culinary perfection. Balanced flavours, wonderful spicing, just delicious! This should be a 5 star review if not for the unpleasant, unfriendly service. The cranky guy behind the counter seemed like he was unhappy to be there. Our order came out of the kitchen quickly though. If you do go, just order, get your food, pay, and get out. Head down to River Market, find a table and eat there.

Moved here from Ontario, was born in Trinidad and this is the worst quality Caribbean food I've ever tasted. Got the Chicken Roti and the chicken smelled and tasted of freezer burn. Almost like it was in the freezer for a year and then thawed out in a microwave before being served. The quality of the curry is lacking as well. Definitely not Chief Brand from Trinidad, very mild in flavour and it's like they tried to compensate with pepper. It's too bad that there's no real West Indian food around the lower mainland. I was searching for a while and was real hard up" for some Trini food but haven't been so disappointed before. Felt the need to review because of the severe disappointment. $4.15/ doubles?? Really? $13.50 for a roti??"

Scratches the itch if you want Trini doubles and roti. Good taste, heat and served up in good time. Limited parking options due to location and nowhere to sit and eat really. Has a few ‘local’ Trini items for sale. Walk a couple doors down and the Caribbean market offers up some of the same items cheaper.

Tried this place has I was in the mood for some good Trini Roti and Ox-tail.Ox-tail costs 21 dollars and all you get is 3 tiny pieces and a bunch of rice. I understand Ox-tail isn’t the cheapest meat, but for that price I should be getting more than 3 small pieces. Flavours were decent though.Curry Chicken Roti was passible but nothing special. Chicken was a tad dry but gravy had a good flavour.Decent spot but I would suggest avoiding the Ox-tail as it is not worth what they are charging.

I had been here a few times pre covid and while it was a little expensive, the food was very good and there aren't a lot of places to get Trinidadian food. I decided to go back today as I had been craving it for some time. Unfortunately it appears they have gone downhill since then. The service was fine, as they were friendly enough, taking my order and moving into the back to (I thought) make my food. Instead they came back with it just a couple of minutes later, so the food must have been made in advance and just heated up. I use that term loosely as the curry was lukewarm, and the roti itself was cold. In addition to being lukewarm, the curry was watery, bland, and oily. They didn't even include napkins or cutlery. Overall it was quite disappointing and I could not recommend as for a $17 wrap/sandwich there are many better options.
