Trini Breakfast Shed is a staple in the " Little Caribbean " neighborhood. This location is on Church Ave a few blocks from Nostrand Ave. I used to come here years ago and I am thrilled to see that they are still here and that the food is still delicious. My favorite thing from here is the curry crab and dumplings. Not sure if they have it everyday but I like to get it on a Saturday. It is still finger licking good. After so many years the taste remains consistently delicious. I bought the large dish for $20 and I enjoyed it for 2 days. I also tried the cow foot souse but I prefer mines a bit more tangy and spicy so I will add more flavor at home. The place is clean. The takeaway line was just a few minutes and the ladies there were pleasant. read more

If you are looking for freshly fried shrimp wontons, please go to Trinidadian Golden Place on Nostrand and St. John's. Please do not eat at this establishment.. I decided to purchase some fried shrimp wontons from the Trini Breakfast Shed II. I knew I made the wrong decision when she came back with it in a minute. I asked are they hot and she said yes.. When I ate one in the establishment, it was cold. She later told me they fry them and put them under a light. SMH The food also looked stale and unappealing. I hope you take my advice and don't waste your hard earned money. read more

I've been recommended to this place a few times but because the outside and even inside looks dirty I've only been in there once and walked out until today. I noticed they have an A score from the health inspector so I walked in after 9am there was about 5 people in front of me. I ended up ordering salt fish and dumpling with cassava. The service is really slow here (there was 1 person serving and cashing). After receiving my food, I paid and I left. I live only about five minutes walking distance from this place. By the time I got home and sat down, the food was cold and not cold where it's a bit warm there was actually no heat to it at alll. The weather outside was raining and 40 degrees so even if it was hot, it should've warm. I feel as tho the heat under the food pans either wasn't on or not working. The taste of the food was ok but I would not be returning. I'll continue to go to Tastee Pattee on the corner of church and 32nd st. And I am born and raised Trinidadian! read more

Constantly canceled food orders. Hit or miss taste. I'm not sure how this place stays in business, but it seems poorly run.

Cow foot souse was a big let down. Lack of flavor, more like water. Don't waste your money!

5 stars. Will order again. Mom and I enjoyed it. We loved the entire meal. The timing of the meal was awesome

I had every intention of leaving a good review, especially because the food that I ordered was decent the first time I tried it, and I like to support small businesses. If I have to leave a bad review, I usually opt out of leaving one at all, but this is the second time I came in here and the person serving me had a nasty attitude. The first time, I let it slide because I figured the person was having a bad day, but this second time was it for me, and it was a completely different worker, too. I don't live in the area. I live in the Bronx, but i just come to the area to get my hair and eyebrows done, and I happened upon Trini Breakfast Shed II. My family is from Trinidad, but living in my area of the Bronx, there aren't a lot of options that serve creole food, so I was happy to come to a Trini restaurant that serves callalloo. However, I don't know if it's my accent or what, but when i greeted the people working here with a smile, they seemed to reciprocate that at first. However, when i began to speak, their faces completely changed and started rolling their eyes. When I asked to confirm the different plate sizes they had (there were no signs or prices on the ones they had on display), that's when the huffing and puffing began. And then when I started ordering my food, they starting getting nasty and rude. The first time I came, they scolded me for ordering pelau and asking for another meat because they said it already has meat in it. Who cares? You have foods out buffet-style with no menu, so how am I supposed to know how to order? There's no menu on the wall with prices or even paper menus on display to at least tell me the prices and menu options (I don't even think it's legal to not have menus available to customers. i had to order in good faith that they weren't making up prices on the spot). I just came back from Trinidad last week, and no one there had any issue with me ordering pelau with other meat. The people at this eatery were short with me, rolling their eyes, and pushed my food towards me in the end. Very ignorant behavior towards someone who had every intention of ordering from them going forward. As a black person, I was quite shocked to be treated like this by other black people for no reason at all. I will never give them my money again. read more

A restaurant is only as good as the chef and customer service. I have supported this restaurant for 18+ years that I lived in NY and currently live in South Jersey. I don't come to NY often, but when I do, it's to this place. Never again. I got there about 11:33am. and was told the food that I wanted to order was not ready for another half hour. I asked if I could order and pay, that when I come back within the half hour I would not have to wait. She said yes. There was one person being served in front of me. By the time they got to me, order placed and paid for, it was almost 12pm. She took my money and gave me a receipt and told me I have to wait an additional 30 minutes for her to prepare everything, but upon my return, come straight to the counter. I told her I would wait in my car. I ordered 2 chicken roti. 2 Goat roti. 6 solo, 2 currents roll, 3 poulorie, and 2 souse. Upon my return, there were 7 people there. They all got their food. The delivery driver got his order, and my order was still being prepared. After an additional 20 minutes I got my food. What really sealed the deal to NOT support this restaurant anymore. The server prepped all the doubles with only Channa. Nothing else. No sauce, no pepper, and yes, I told her to put everything in it. The souse had no taste. My family don't eat much salt due to hypertension and if we were complaining that the food had no taste, you know it's got no taste. This is the last this business will get any money from me. A waste of $117 dollars. read more

I usually only come here for a couple of their pastries . Their food has never been to my liking but their is a wide variety of offerings so maybe you can find something you like here. The thing I really don't like is not the food however . It's the painfully slow service . After years of coming here it has gotten to the point where I really gotta set aside an hour of my time just to get pastries !! My issue is is their structure . No one knows where to order . Generally there are two lines one for ordering and one for paying . There is also people placing orders over the phone who enter and just skip ahead of those waiting patiently in line . It is RIDICULOUSLY RIDICULOUS! There needs to be a more efficient way . Management if you're seeing this please do something to speed up the process of ordering or you'll lose a lot of business ! Maybe Have an additional person designated for phone orders (preparing and giving to the customer through that side door you have ? ) But do something ! As for their pastries . The Beef pies are the best ever and their currant rolls aren't too far behind . But an hour wait is starting to make them a little less tasty . read more

I've had two different visit and I'm giving 3 stars because I love the doubles. Tried the Trini Chinese, chicken was more so baked than fried well. Rice had a good flavor but wasn't cooked long enough. Overall I wouldn't get the trini Chinese ever again. However the doubles are nice and soft add some tamarind and peppa sauce and it's nice! read more

Had the curry crab, dumpling and calaloo over it and it was incredible. Would recommend this place to others as long as the food/cook is cooking!!! I will be going back to try their bake and saltfish and comment on that later. read more

The service is deplorable at best. they move at a snail's pace and have zero care about customer satisfaction/service. they really need better front staff (the only reason I'm rating this place is because I couldn't leave a comment with a rating) read more

Waste of my money I would give this place 0 stars if I could. Don't give these people your money. I ordered on Uber eats and they had NO options for toppings to add to the bake/shark. So I assumed it would be the standard bake and shark with cucumbers, garlic sauce and so on. These halfwits sent me a dry ass sandwich with absolutely nothing on it. Then I called them to ask about it and they hang up the phone. To top it off i had a side order of spinach and they didn't even give me any spinach. read more

Trini Breakfast Shed II - Pure dotishness... NEVER AGAIN - Caribbean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

SERVICE IS SO SLOWWWWWWW. I literally spent about 40 minutes waiting for doubles. 30 of those 40 minutes was waiting on the staff to dish out portions. After all of that, the doubles are okay. Also, If I ask for a knife and fork please don't ask me why I need one...... read more

Trini Breakfast Shed II - a variety of food items - Caribbean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This use to be my favorite restaurant for doubles but unfortunately when my boyfriend bit into his pholorie he bit on a penny that was literally baked in the pholourie as a filling he almost choked to death and broke his tooth I am extremely upset and disgusted When the food was brought back they stated they know a certain employee is doing this which is simply irresponsible and disgusting! so now I'm thinking this same employee is probably spitting and putting other body fluids in the food at this restaurant how disgusting and dirty is that also the roti had a sour smell I can't believe this happen I am extremely outraged !! read more

I was just in this place like an hour ago. Because I was in the area, saw it and wanted some roti. Usually I do my research but I just decided to give them a try without looking them up....man do I regret that. Anyway, first off they weren't welcoming but like what west Indian restaurant is?. I wanted boneless chicken, they didn't have it. So opted for the curry chicken roti. I was a lil annoyed cause the lady only gave me like 3 pieces of chicken but I let it go. Then I asked for pepper sauce and the other lady that's bagging it told me "you have to ask her" the lady that made the food...well she done walked away now and you right there you tell her ...w/o me saying anything she requested the pepper for me. I paid $8.70 and left. I get home on the other side of Brooklyn, tryna get me some bites in before I go pick up my daughter. I taste the roti and it's doughy . I open it up and taste the potatoes before putting pepper in it...potato have no flavor....I taste the chicken...of course chicken has no flavor...then I looked closely and pulled out a hair that was the length of my pinky..... I am sooooooo angry right now. If I could walk there I would and demand my money back. How y'all serving this nasty, tasteless a$$ food?? No type of love put into it...I swear I thought it was diet food. Anyway....I have to now season it up and i don't know what imma do with the roti dough...I don't know how to make it not "doughy" tasting ....never again..if I could give negative stars I would. I just wanted to let y'all know. Before y'all make the mistake I did. You live and you learn . read more

Trini Breakfast Shed II - It looks like it taste good or like something, right?? Hahahahahahahaha a whole sham....cause it's tasteless - Caribbean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

4 stars for the food 1 star for the service, last few experiences the servers don't smile and treat the customers as if they are not a priority. With that said the doubles , oxtail, chinese style chicken are all delicious , but if you expect to be treated as a paying customer this isn't the place for you read more

Trini Breakfast Shed II - Long lines , slow service - Caribbean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Breakfast is alway on point by here. A must go to when I come to bk. Good things take time.

I come to this restaurant every Sat after work. The food here is delicious and the staff always displays exceptional customer service.

The cuisine at this joint is incomparably undoubtedly impeccable!!! It is pristine. Gregarious. Simply scrumptious! The owner , especially, has a seriously high standard for CUSTOMER VALUE and SERVICE!!! Check it out for yourself... read more

Good service and delicious food. I love their roti and their drink options, the place is neat and has adequate seating. There was a specific cook/cashier that was exceptionally sweet, too bad I forgot to ask for her name. I can't wait to visit again. read more

Overall I'm really pleased with the service at Trini breakfast shed. I will call in advance to place my order. I always get chicken roti with MANGO (lordddd that mango sings... I digress) now, you want to order early before they run out of mango or you're left with bitter sadness however the roti without the mango is still fantastic. The mango is just spiced so perfectly, and they have these super big electronic screens with the menu above the registers so everything is clear. They take both cash and credit. You have the opportunity to have your roti separate or already rolled. I always opt for already rolled but my mom loves all her stuff separate. I will say the lines get CRAZY, which to me is indicative of superior food. I don't want to eat anywhere that doesn't have major "flockage" They have tables so that you may eat in or take your food to go. From what I've seen, most take their food to go however. Whenever I'm in the mood for great Trini food, this is my one and only stop, I've tried others before but they have one my heart. The food is visible, In warmer metal pans secured by the clean glass which makes me sooo comfortable because you see the food as it's prepared. I like to see what's going on, where my food is coming from, and how you put it together. They've always had a pleasant demeanor when I've come, and I always leave my change/ tip, food service is a hot hardworking profession... And with food like that, it's well deserved :) Next time I go, I'll have to try something else besides the roti but I'm SO ADDICTED !! read more

I had the curried crab with dumplings & it was GOOD! The crabs were soft & tender. They didn't taste like they were frozen even though they were dungeness crabs & were definitely not fresh. Plus, they gave you plenty of food. The dumplings were flat & not round which is different but enjoyable. I would definitely recommend going there on the weekends as opposed to going during the week. The last time I went during the week for the same meal, it wasn't as good. The only thing I really didn't like was the ordering process. You wait in line to order the food then you wait in another line to pay. As you can imagine, it was completely confusing & made the wait unneccesarily longer then it should have been. If they could fix the ordering processing it would be great. However, I will definitely return & try other things on the menu. read more

Food is decent but the service is sooo slow i ended up walking out during my last visit. Waited 40 mins for food not one server or employee updated me on my order after a while i just walked out i don't care what the food taste like the customer service is horrible and the service is slower. No thanks read more

So I live just around the corner from the breakfast shed....and on weekends this is where I go get breakfast and dinner. The food is great but the line is long and definitely worth it. The staff is friendly and the food is great. Best bake and shark hands down....and their Chinese chicken is finger lickin....fried wontons you can't get enough of.I love this place because I feel like I am back home every time i eat their food. read more

Visiting New York to learn that Sybil's was closed. I wanted Bales and salt fish at 7:30am. Everywhere was closed. I was on the bus looking for open restaurants when I saw their sign. I got off at the next stop. Walked on.... All the food was fresh, a large breakfast selection, fluffy bakes. I didn't find them too friendly but who cares....... Who knows how early they've been up cooking for me. I applaud the cook and owner. Back again later in the evening for my Roti skins. They deserve a food industry award. Working hard to prepare fresh food. I watched the cook smile and swayed to the music as he prepared the fresh raw fish probably to season for the next day. read more

The name isn't accurate. There doesn't appear to be a first breakfast shed and you can get food here long after night fall. What you can get is a surprisingly long selection of Trini-style Chinese food, along with some of the island's traditional cuisine. For me, most Trini-Chinese dishes are too greasy and without much flavor, so I stuck to the other side of the menu. I've seen photos of long lines here, but on my 9 p.m. Saturday night visit, there were no other diners. I was able to assemble a plate of chickpeas, curry chicken and some cooked shrimp over a bed of rice for just over $10. It was too much food, but I made an effort. I need to drop off a star for the state of the shrimp - they were small and tasted a bit rubbery. Their sauce almost made up for it, but this just wasn't the highest quality seafood. I have found memories from my time in Port of Spain of fish and shrimp, and it is disappointing to have it not taste the same here. Service was friendly and accommodating - not always a given at a Caribbean restaurant I'm afraid - as they were able to explain all of the dishes currently on offer. There are quite a few Trini options in Flatbush, but this is one worth checking out. Update: I have been told that this restaurant is named after a famous place in Trinidad. While the first sentence of my review was meant a bit tongue-in-cheek, I appreciate the additional information nonetheless! read more

Takes a minute to order but the doubles were very good with light soft bread and flavorful channa. Ask for extra tamarind/pepper sauce. One of the only spots that has a decent place to sit and enjoy your food also. read more

Trini Breakfast Shed II - doubles - Caribbean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I got home and found Not enough Salt-fish on the bake & salt fish and they have a big pan of salt-fish sitting there .. pointless to me

Every time I enter this establishment, there's a line, that's best the food is soooooo good, and fresh. The food is worth the wait I had the chicken roti with tamarind sauce and the meat was juicy and well seasoned, I love the roast bake and shark with garlic sauce and tamarind. I can't wait to try more of their entrees read more

If you looking for authentic Trini food this is it! Nothing more to say. Service is a bit slow. But believe me it's worth it read more

I love the Trini B'fast Shed food, very tasty, nearby, and not salty at all nor is it too spicy, just right by me. Charlo should upgrade his photos of the Shed and food to promote his delicious food more. read more

The food is superb it is one of the best carry out restaurants in B.K. The Chinese style chicken with the lo main is so delicious & the current row . The service is great too. There is a women name Pinky and she always hooks me up. Pinky is always welcoming to everyone who comes to the restaurant. Love this place highly recommend. read more

The food is amazing, but every time I order from here through UberEATS I'm missing food, it ridiculous at this point. Idk if its their ordering system or they just don't give a fuck. I find it unacceptable at this point, might not order from them again read more

The food is authentic and delicious, I had the curry goat buss up(like a roti with no peas) and it was perfect. The beef and fish pies were on point as well. The service was a little lacking, I had to ask for things 3 or more times to get my point across. Goes along with the island vibe, no hurrying at all. Def a great lunch spot if you're in Flatbush. read more

This place gets 5 stars for food and a strong 3.5 for service. I am a Trini born in America and I visit Trinidad a least once a year.. so I know what good Trini food tastes like and I also know what service is like in the local Trini eateries. With that said, Trini Breakfast Shed II knows what they are doing with the food and clearly they were trained in Trinidad when it comes to service. I had a beef roti and two orders of pholourie. The roti was every. single. thing. I could've wanted: beef was tender, pumpkin was sweet, roti was soft... I mean, it literally gave me life! The pholourie was amazing as well and the tamarind sauce was soo good! They also had fresh juices and although I don't remember which one I chose, it was the perfect amount of sweet, authentic goodness! I cannot say one bad thing about any part of my meal. 5+ stars! On to the service.. we came in somewhere between 1-3pm on a nice enough Saturday in March. We expected to see a line and we did.. almost to the door. But we came from our hotel on Wall Street to Brooklyn for good food and dammit, we were going to wait. *Fast forward 15-20 minutes of me standing in heels to reach the counter and order* My girlfriend got a table for the four of us, so I had her order and mine ready to go. Of course, they didn't have what she wanted, which I think was crab and dumpling. No scene, she quickly changed her order to a goat roti. The interaction easily added an extra minute to my order time - possibly why the line moves so slow. Imagine, waiting in line all that time with your heart set on something then you reach the front and they are all out; it is bound to take some time to pick out something else! Alright, so I'm ordering and I honestly find the person taking my order was reasonably friendly. Not bright and bubbly, but she took my order, let me know what they had and didn't have, boxed everything and that was that. No frills! But I am OK with that. Maybe if this was a place that offered table service, she wouldn't make the best waitress. But as someone behind a glass, she was fine. Now it's time to wait another 5-10 minutes to pay. People who call ahead just go right to the register to pay, so even though you just ordered, five people could be in front of you to pay because they are just picking up. The girl at the register was adorable: complimented my earrings, which led to another woman behind the counter complimenting my shoes and us chatting for a good 2 minutes. Sorry people in line behind us, girl talk is important! The woman directly in front of me, who we were chatting with as well, was one who called ahead paid and left. When I went to pay, we discovered she actually took my food. So someone had to go and flag the woman down, she had to come back blah blah blah. Of course, I made sure to check my food before paying and realized my pholourie was not in the bag. OMGee.. see how long this review is.. well that's barely how long the ordering process was. I swear it took a smooth 40 minutes just to order the food! But to be honest, I didn't mind one bit because I got to chat with some really nice people, reminisce on Carnival, listen some nice Gospel and most importantly, the food was so very good! Trini Breakfast Shed II, there are a lot of great places to eat in Brooklyn, but I will be back! read more

Been eating at this restaurant off an on for years. A great variety of authentic Trinidadian dishes. The only thing that discourages me eating here more often is the personality of the staff. Went there this afternoon to order and not one smile or good afternoon from the woman who was serving. The other woman who seems to be there more often came to the front to switch breakfast pans to lunch and not a smile or good afternoon from her. "Normal" Its just not inviting. I am sure they are more friendly with people they see more often, but personality and customer service plays a big role as well. Not inviting at all. read more

First of all if your expecting good customer service, this isn't the place. Even the customer in front of me was hey have a good day.. Smile geez.With that said the food is generous in portion and good. I had the roast bake and fry fish with garlic sauce and ketchup. It was huge and hearty..if your starving come here. I look forward to the saltfish and fried bake for next time. read more

Came here for breakfast. Boyfriend wanted me to try it out. I had the shark and bake with garlic ketchup and tamarind sauces. I could've had the bake with the sauces all by itself. But the shark was very good. The sweet bread is pretty good. I will come back to try the sausages and their fried rice. read more
