    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.

    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.

    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.

    Amazing! I go on Thursdays for the roti specials and I am satisfied every single time

    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.

    There are few places in Palm Beach County where you can find Trini food- plenty of Jamaican, Haitian, and Indian food- so when I come across one, I make sure to check it out. It is a cash only spot, but they have an ATM inside in case you are unprepared. I ordered the curry chicken, curry shrimp, and a double and it was a sizable amount of food that fed 4 people with a nice kick if you can handle spice. At the time, COVID was at its peak so they were only offering to-go and no inside seating, but I am sure it is different now. Worth a stop if you are in the area.

They have a variety of stewed meats for roti meals and sides like mashed pumpkin, potatoes, spinach and other veggies. Everything is uniquely seasoned and spiced. If you're not good with spicy foods, ask for anything with peppers to not include them. My husband ordered the stewed boneless chicken with paratha roti and pumpkin plus potatoes as sides. The roti was fresh and hot. The pumpkin was my favorite. The chicken was easy to eat and tasted good, not dry. The potatoes were soft. I got a double and it was amazing. Lots of tamarind flavor and some curry and cumin tastes. I love chickpeas and there were plenty of it stuffed inside. Gotta eat it quick or else the shell becomes soggy. I also ordered a bake and shark. First time trying it. The crispy texture of the fried fish plus the soft outer shell along with the lettuce and tomato all tasted delicious together. However, the fish was way too salty for me. After the first few bites, I couldn't eat anymore of it. My husband who has a much stronger taste palette even agreed it was on the salty side. Will definitely come back to try more items!

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

The Village Plaza, where the roti shop was located, looked like it had seen better days with a few empty business spaces. 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. In my opinion, I feel the food is not filling, as I was looking to eat again after an hour. Other than that, Shalama's Roti Shop is a decent place. I am interested in coming back to try their bakes, which is made on Sundays.

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.
