As a Trinidadian who enjoys food, finding authentic Trini classics in LA is rare and usually happens in your own kitchen.
Finally made it to Doubles n' Ting after discovering them on Instagram. And boy, was it worth the trek across town. We were too late for the paratha "buss up shut" but we thoroughly enjoyed the doubles and sampling of the curry chicken. And we made sure to save room for a guava and condensed milk snow cone afterwards.
Word of advice, they open only on Saturdays from 12:00pm - 2pm and serve until they run out so arrive early and join the line. They take orders from a sidewalk window and there are a few outdoor tables for seating but it's limited.
Their doubles hit the spot and nails the authentic Trini flavor which is a notable feat on the West Coast. But what makes this place special is that Steven, owner, chef and Trinidadian himself, brings the extra special Trini sweetness to your experience. He connects with his diners like they're his family and his wife, Rheem is delightful as well. Dining here transported me home. Thank you Steven and Rheem for a wonderful meal. read more
