First of all I must say that Ms. Kathy is very pleasant and helpful! I had the Curry Chicken and Roti it was delicious will be back!! Thank you so much read more

Trini Roti is the real deal. Bold Caribbean flavors, properly seasoned curries, and roti that's soft and fresh. Everything tastes like it's made with care. And the doubles? Elite. Perfect balance of soft bara, well-spiced channa, and just the right kick. I'm not even exaggerating -- I'm craving another order right now. If you want authentic Trinidadian flavor in Richmond, this is the spot. read more

I am here from Miami searching everywhere for good Trini food specifically bake and doubles. I found this place on yelp and google. This place is 50 minutes from my house. The first time I went was last week Wednesday in the afternoon. A very nice young man took my order. When I asked for bake and shark the woman who I assume is the owner came up to the front and told me bake and shark is only available every other Saturday. I asked her if it would be available that coming Saturday and she said no, next week, that coming Saturday would be meat pies. She was nice enough this day. My first visit I ordered doubles, curry chicken and stew beans and buss up shut. The doubles were pretty good, the curry was 2 chicken legs swimming in what was more like a ton of watery broth in which my beans got completely lost. The curry flavors were not very developed. There was no aloo. The roti was the best thing I ordered that day. I did not come that Saturday as instructed but I returned yesterday. Yelp and Google states the business opens at 11:30. I walked up to the door at 12:12 and it was locked. The sign on the door states they open at 12:30 on Saturdays. I sat in my car until 12:40 and went back in. There were already people in line being helped by the same lady from last week. When it was my turn I asked for bake and shark and she told me "next Saturday". WOW. I drove all this way specifically for that. At this point I'm already disappointed so I ask her what she does have. She tells me to "read the board". Then she says she will help someone else and come back to me. When I don't respond she says "HELLO" as if speaking to a child. Thankfully, the lady with the purple hair is nice and professional. When it's my turn to order I order sorrel, pholourie, doubles, curry chicken and spinach and roti. Curry chicken is my favorite so I want to give it another try. With these 2 visits alone I've spent about $70 so far. I get in my car and open the bag with the pholourie to eat on the ride home. They're ice cold greasy and soggy. How? The place just opened and I just walked out! I get home and try the curry chicken. Watery flavorless broth again. No aloo again. This time the chicken is not done. My spinach is drowning in this broth just like the beans because for some reason it's all put into one container with no separation. The doubles are a sloppy mess but edible. Once again the buss up shut is the best part of the whole meal. This was a waste of time, money, and gas. This is not a good representation of Trini food. I don't think I will return here. **UPDATE** I updated my review to one star after this wicked lady replied. This idiotic fool is messaging me over and over about my review! I haven't messaged her back not even one time. She's clearly nuts. Notice she never said anything I wrote was untrue. There's a huge difference between pink chicken (ie: smoked meat) and bloody slimy chicken that's clear in some spots. You are selling food to the public and you think chicken is always pink no matter how long you cook it? WTH?! Sounds like food poisoning and salmonella to me. And please tell me where is the big chicken?? You're serving drumsticks! Secondly, pholourie literally takes 1-2 minutes to fry- why would anyone fry it then let it just sit in a COOLER???? Who's expecting fried dough to be hot for hours?? I expect it to be freshly made when I order it duh! So she's cooking the entire menu all at once and just serving it, cold and raw. Disgusting. The standards and attitude on this woman are both gross. Eat this crap at your own risk. read more

Trini Roti - Trinidadian Near Me - Midlothian, Virginia

Had my usual curry goat with roti and oxtail with rice, there is a great choice of four sides too doubles, polourie and bake and shark. The meals were great, I was happy to get some nice polourie, glad I did not have to wait till I go back to Tdad. The bake and shark was boss, Kathy explained that although she tries to do it every other Saturday sometimes the grocery does not have shark. But it was well worth the wait to enjoy some nice fresh food. A cold homemade sorrel just finished all this good food. My family was so happy to enjoy good Trini food. Be back soon for sure. Great T&T food. Kathy was explaining to other customers who were not familiar with the food but came to buy based on recommendations. read more

The vibe 100% Service top notch Food mind blowing Triniroti.va delivers consistently excellent Trinidadian staples. The doubles feature a tender bara an channa with a balanced blend of spices,complemented by bright tamarind an well judged pepper sauce. Their roti is supple and wraps around richly flavored curries that are both hearty and aromatic. The pholourie arrives hot,golden and airy the ideal starter. A standout for authentic local flavor and quality execution.... Tip: For those who purchase just a reminder when we purchase doubles on d stand to go or pholourie fot that matter it comes hot but need i remind u once wrapped bagged an is transported to wherever its temperature obviously drops it would not be hot it may be warm depends on how long u have your food bagged an transported read more

got the oxtails, which were delicious. They were very soft and tender falling apart, and the seasoning was perfect. Serve on white rice. I also tried a double for the first time, unsure as to how that is supposed to taste my contents did not quite make it to my mouth because it made the bread too soft. How will probably pass on the double next time. read more

Great flavors! Nice owner. Definitely will return back to try more menu items. Open close to noon than what's posted. read more

I went to the restaurant, having been there in 2024, with my entire family. There were over 8 of us there and the food was good and the owner was friendly. This time, I treated my son to a meal. The restaurant is small and a bit austere but it is clean and well lit. The place is clean. I ordered 2 orders of doubles, 2 orders of chicken curry s/red beans and bottled water...I forget what my son drank. (No rice) What I want to talk about is the experience. There is one person in the restaurant, I guess she owns it. This lady did not greet us, just asked what we wanted to order, in clipped and dry tones. Once she got the order and collected the money, she said nothing further. She didn't offer other drinks, she did not engage with us at all. As a matter of fact, she stood near the back, staring at something - I assume she was reading. Not a thank you or a pleasantry to be had. Just a sour expression and zero service. I really felt unwelcome and put upon, which probably made the meal unpleasant. I asked for hot sauce, she said she'd already added hot sauce to the doubles. I didn't ask her what she'd done - I asked for hot sauce. Chicken curry was swimming in broth. I got her attention and got more towels, then asked for a knife. She offered me another fork! I don't like to swim in food with gravy, up to my elbows. It would be nice to have both good customer service and knives, forks and spoons. Please realize, if you are the owner, paying $67 for a meal is nothing to sneeze at. Be as nice to a large party (where you made lots of money and a good tip) as you are to a small one. We felt unwelcome and neglected, as customers. Having to summon you, from the back to get things we need, is an imposition. I didn't feel like a guest. I won't be back to your restaurant. I hate rude, arrogant treatment. Do better! We try to buy in the black community and this is abhorrent treatment. As you can see in the photo, she had no concern about our welfare. My son had to ask for the key to the restroom to get hand towels and there was no soap. She offered him hand sanitizer. If you don't like your work, go find something you like!! My experience was totally off-putting. read more

I heard about Trini Roti on Yelp & IG and finally stopped by for lunch Saturday. Although we didn't dine the restaurant was cozy, clean, and inviting. in we were able to talk with Kathleen for a good while. This was my first time having Trinidadian cuisine and she answered all my questions and described her menu & meals to us. There was also a gentleman who was dining in who shared one of his doubles with us as Kathleen had sold out for the day. It was so unexpected but such a nice gesture and it really gave family atmosphere. I did have my mind set on a couple of items that were sold out so I would recommend going when she opens and calling ahead to see what's on the menu for the day as it changes. Kathleen told us that she comes to cook and prep before opening and once things sell out she's out for the day. The double was so delicious I thought it was meat inside. But it's actually made with chickpeas and Kathleen thought we'd be worried about the spice but I love spicy food and would absolutely get those again. My boyfriend and his sister had the curry chicken and roti and it was good and I'd recommend to anyone as it wasn't spicy. I had the stew fish & roti and it was so good. There were carrots & celery in my mixture so it made it super hearty and the fish was cooked perfectly as it wasn't dry. I loved eating it with the roti and I still had some left. Before we left she let us try some of the shark and I was regretting not ordering some of that as well. It was fried and it kind of reminded me of a salmon patty/croquette. I'm coming for those and the meat pies next visit. Lastly, I wanted to try one of the drinks and asked Kathleen her favorite and she recommended the Sorrel. I got it with ice and loved it!! It reminded me of a cranberry juice with spice (not spicy hot but like there was cinnamon or all spice in it) ... so good! Please go check them out as you surely won't be disappointed!!! read more

So I will start with 5 stars because i haven't been to the restaurant as of yet, but I will be going tomorrow, ( as it's not open) and I will update after. What I didn't like from the owner as I looked at the reviews were the nasty responses( some were justified and some were unnecessary) . When you have a business you will get great feedback, good feedback and some negative. You will also deal with different issues and people who want certain things... but if they are paying, using their money to help support your business. So be it! I have tipped over $100 just off of customer service, professionalism and trying to accommodate my wants and needs. So if I pay over $40 for food that food better be worth it or the customer service better be superb because I can cook, that I cook for events and so does my husband ( I mentioned that because a person reviewed on google the service was good and the food was ok), you responded they should know or learn how to cook or something of the sort... yet they spent money to help the business . Either way I will update. read more

Great taste of home! Enjoyed some of the taste of the Caribbean that don't always get talked about. Great gracious service ash she shared how the menu has little changes! read more

Amazing and fresh food. Very nice customer service. Highly recommended for sure. They have amazing oxtails.

I met two friendly and generous women who had just come back from visiting their homes in Trinidad running this wonderful place. Their food was delicious and authentic and when I asked them who else was cooking Trini food in RVA they said "no one"... at least not this well. The food was excellent and I'm so happy to not wait until I visit DC to get this cuisine. And doubles are vegan!!! The best vegan treat there is. read more

Trini Roti - Oxtail rice and spinach on roti - Trinidadian Near Me - Midlothian, Virginia

Heard about this place from a Facebook post and decided to check them out since it is close to my home. I went around 4PM but I would highly suggest you get there earlier as they seem to sell out pretty quickly. Staff was very welcoming and will go over the what's available for the day. The building can be slightly hard to miss but they are located next to the Pizza Hut close to the end of the shopping center near the Applebees. There is lots of parking space available. The walls are painted with the colors of Trinidad . They do offer indoor seating if you prefer to dine in. It seems they only make specific items on specific days so they may not have all items available ex. they only do oxtails on Friday (so looking forward to trying them). I grabbed two doubles which I've never had and they were delicious, best version of chickpeas I've ever had. I also got the homemade sorrel and left wishing I had more. Highly recommended giving them a try! read more

This place feels like home. The shop is beautiful and inviting. Kathy, the proprietor, is such a joy to converse with, and the menu is straightforward. I ordered a shrimp and curry goat meal with white rice and roti. I also ordered a Mauby and Tamarind drink. It was all fantastic! The curry was spicy and the roti was fresh. My husband was looking to pick off of my roti because it was so good, haha! We look forward to returning for more food, especially more roti and to try the bake and saltfish! Thank you, Kathy! read more

I recently saw a couple videos on something called Trini doubles and thought that look interesting I wanted to try it. so I found a place near my old apartment in Midlothian and stop by there today. I got two doubles one with just tamarind sauce and one with tamarind sauce and hot pepper. I saw that it was vegan and I'm definitely not a vegan and I've never had chickpeas and that i thought tasted good so I was on the fence. This was the best thing I put in my mouth in months. I wish I would've got two more. The roti (I think that's what it's called) was so soft and pillowy. The chickpeas themselves were cook perfectly they were soft and seasoned so well. The nice lady who owns the store told me the hot pepper sauce was hot. I tend to think I like hot things, but that hot pepper sauce was HOT and it wasn't an off putting hot but that burn was good and mean. Please support small businesses and check this place out. The shop was decorated lovely and the lady who owns it was just a wonderful person. I will be going back very very soon even though I don't live on that side of town anymore I'm gonna make a reason to go!! read more

My husband and I were saying that we wish there was a Trini restaurant In Virginia as we found one in South Carolina (my mom lives there) which was good but short lived. My husband who is Trini literally came home excited stating there was a a Trinidadian restaurant down Hull Street... ask and you will receive! The food is on point authentic Trinidadian food and yes it's good. I have had the Doubles and Roti with curry chicken our daughter enjoyed curry goat and peas and rice. You will be greeted by a very nice lady who is very personable wearing many hats. I pray that this business continues to be successful and thrives so we can continue to enjoy delicious Trinidadian food. read more
