My friend from Trinidad recommended this place, and she knows exactly what she's talking about!…read moreThis place is such a gem. I had their fish double and beef aloo pie (potato pie). The portions sizes were large - very generous with the filling. It's probably the best double I've ever had. The items were packed with flavor and spice. We really wanted to try the oxtail but they were out when we visited on a Saturday. They also have desserts and packaged snacks you can purchase by the counter. There are a couple seating spots for dining in but I do see a lot of people coming in and out for takeouts. Can't wait to come back again and try more items!

I was NOT prepared for the portion sizes here. Quantity is absolutely their game. I ordered the…read moreduck roti and it was literally the size of a FOOTBALL. There was no chance this was being eaten by hand. Fork and knife were required, and even then I still walked away full with leftovers. Beyond the size, the food itself was really good. The duck was tender, flavorful, and well seasoned, and the roti held everything together without getting soggy. It felt hearty and comforting in the best way, like food meant to actually fill you up rather than look pretty. Service was straightforward and efficient. This is not a place you come to linger or be coddled, but that is part of the charm. You order, you get your food, and you move on happier and heavier than when you arrived. Please come and try this place out!

Among the many soigné Trini eateries scattered across Queens, this one layers in just the right accoutrements to truly awaken your palate. The Bake and Shark itself is a revelation: flaky, golden, and impossibly crisp, yet light and ethereal with every bite. Sweet bursts of pineapple weave through the savory richness, striking a perfect balance that transports you straight to the shoreline--sun on your skin, salt in the air, and the rhythm of the Caribbean just beyond the waves. You officially have the Supreme touched.

Unfortunately, I have no pictures to show amazing the food is here. I only have words. Words that…read morestill cannot explain how amazing everything I ate is here. This is a treat, to the mouth, digestive system, and the rest of the human condition. Located in Ozone Park, Queens, not terribly far from JFK airport, the Rockaways, and the Belt Parkway, this is the kind of food people line up for a 7 am to get ready for their day at the beach, or if you are brazen enough, a flight out of town. I got here about 10 am and there was already a solid line of customers ordering everything on the menu. The menu is entirely of Trinidadian cuisine. Trinidadian cuisine is a melting pot of other cuisines such as Caribbean, Chinese, South American, and a little bit of Middle Eastern. That is why you get the explosion of flavors in every bite, and why there is so much to pick from for anybody to enjoy. This is where a visit to Lefferts Gardens a few years back prepped me well, as I walked in not totally blind to this cuisine. I ordered a Curry Goat Roti (it was a toss up between that and chicken, but decided to take a chance), and their popular Bake and Shark. Now fair warning, the Bake and Shark is only offered on weekends, and they have a more systematic approach to how you order it, so keep that in mind when ordering it. Even with the line, it moves fast with quick assembly of the food. It was not all that cheap, but the portion size is generous to a fault. There are two or three tables inside, with bathroom, but it is highly recommended that you take this outside for you to eat someplace else. Twenty minutes later, I arrived home to eat my trove of food. Thinking I have to plan out something for later, I tried the Bake and Shark first. It is outstanding. Great flavor, great balance of flavors, and just terrific value. This is what people should be ordering before starting their day. Everything is done right on this. Yes, it does have some heat, but nothing a little ginger ale or juice to keep everything contained. It is also not as large as I expected, but definitely enough for somebody to call this their lunch. Of course, I had to go after the Roti. It is a huge hunk of food, like a Chipotle burrito on crack. The meat is delicious, the potatoes inside are well seasoned and delicious too. Unfortunately the whole thing came apart and was forced to eat this open faced. That is okay. I still love the amount of meat that is in this, the taste of the meat, and the overall quality of the Roti. Outstanding. I am not too sure the next time I will come here, but I am looking forward to another visit and getting another meal. It also helps the staff is real nice and nonjudgmental. I hate when I try ethnic foods and the staff judges me like I am a foreigner in a strange land. Teach me, not judge me. Be grateful, not spiteful. Highly recommended, take a chance. I hope that this is all enough words for you.

The staff and people there can be hit and miss. Sometimes, they give you attitude when you ask for something. I usually get the doubles with archar, tamarind, and hot sauce. The one thing I don't like is that they use the same spoon to dip all the condiments. A few times, I bought extra for the week, and the food went bad before the second day. One time, the double smelled like hot garbage, and I think it was because the cucumber relish had gone bad. I do like the doubles but I have to go a certain and only order a small amount to prevent it from going bad.

I was happy to see they still had $5 meal specials available ( its small but back then it was enough). Prices of regular dinners are still fair compared to competitors. The food however while fresh and hot lacked the normal amount of seasonings I remembered. I was especially disappointed by the macaroni pie. We got 3 large dinners and a Peanut Punch $47 . The amount of food was justified for the price. Just wish a bit more salt was present. Our dinners had yellow rice, oven barbecue chicken, red beans, callaloo and macaroni pie . My mother in law said the salt levels were perfect for her high blood pressure dietary needs. So I guess I'll go get her food from there again. Its take out only here and the shop is small and often crowded. The Peanut Punch was great, not overly sweet and the server made it fresh when I ordered it. Service is good but slow . Cash is preferred ( there's a 4% charge for card) ATM available in the shop.

Everything his behind a glass window and all there food are hidden underneath a lid so I can't really see what good food they have. Either case, it didn't matter because I really came here for their double so that's exactly what I ordered. Asked them to add everything on it including the heat. My double came out to $2.72 (w/tax) and when I went to eat it, I wasn't impressed. Visually, it's a lot smaller then that doubles that I get at other Trini restaurants. The dough was not chewy with a good pull and the chickpeas was still hard. It wasn't cooked enough and the flavor was lacking. As for the topping, it was weak. No graded cucumbers either. Since I was left feeling disappointed from my meal, I can't see myself coming back here to try their other dishes. It's too bad considering my doctor's office is close by.
