Got together with friends here on a random Thursday evening. We sat at the bar.. comfortable seats. The bartender was friendly and the drinks were good. I had a pina colada, hard to mess that up. But the food was delicious. Curry goat was on point! Good music of course. read more

Commuted from the Bronx to Brooklyn just to try this place. It was a slow Saturday night fairly empty. I'm assuming because of the storm coming that night. The place was very vibrant and had beautiful murals all around. The staff was very attentive from beginning to end. Our drinks were made to perfection. The bartender took his time to create aesthetically pleasing drinks. One of the things that I wanted to try on the menu was mango chow. So we ordered the TriniJam sampler which had the works. Everything was SOOO GOOD especially the mango chow. I loved every bit of it. Onto the entrée. I had the snapper and chow mein. It was a pretty hefty dish and for the price I did not go wrong. Again, everything was so amazing. I can't wait to return to this place and have a gigantic bowl of mango chow and whatever else the menu has to offer. As a recommendation to the owner. If this place doesn't have as much traction as it could, I would 100% suggest that he promote his business on Instagram and do different food videos. Promote & host different theme nights like karaoke night, Soca Saturdays and brunch events. This place is truly amazing. read more

If I could give this place more stars I would. I have been hearing such great reviews about this restaurant and said the next time I'm in town, I had to come and visit! I had the pleasure of meeting the lovely husband and wife team- Latoya and Calvin. They are one of the sweetest business owners ever. I had their jerk chicken, vegetable chow mein, fried rice and steamed cabbage and it was ALL delicious! The bartender made me a surprise drink and it was so good I had to have another! Atmosphere: Great Carribean vibes Thanks for a great experience. I will definitely be back and will tell my family and friends to try you guys out! read more

Nice, lovely addition to have in Canarsie Food- 3.5/5 -the wings were okay bc they were softer inside due to them being thick. I asked for well done and they had a nice crisp.

Ambiance 4/5 Nice decor, loved the artwork on the wall and the Trini culture representation.

TriniJam BK Roti Bar & Grill is a wonderful addition to Canarsie. The food is full of flavor, the portions are generous, and the Caribbean dishes feel authentic and comforting. The roti is a highlight, and the warm atmosphere makes it a great place to enjoy a meal with family or friends. It's always nice to find a local neighborhood spot that brings something special to the community. read more

I loved the experience that I had here. Thank you to Calvin who helped me and showed me hospitality. The food was amazing. I tried the Curry Crab Legs, Chowmein, Jerk Chicken Platter, Curry Goat Roti, And Tropical Alcohol Free Drinks. All the dishes I had were presented well, tasted authentic, and made with love. Trini Jam is a Trinidadian & Jamaican fusion restaurant and I definitely felt that through the dishes I tried. The Curry Goat Roti and Chowmein were my favorite. Also, this place is a vibe. Great place to dine in with friends, family, or a spouse. A good amount of dining space and great music. read more

We usually take out Trinidadian food, so we were intrigued to try a dine in Trini restaurant with table service. They have a huge, full bar with a fun cocktail menu. I opted for the rum punch. They offered it as standard or strong. I opted for standard and thought it was a reasonably strong drink, so I expect the strong version to be an absolute knockout. It was pretty happy with the cocktail as it was sweet and ginger forward. Food wise, we started with a double. I liked the stewed chickpeas, but it didn't come with additional sauces. The fried dough didn't hold up too well. Personally, I prefer the doubles at Trinciti or A&A. For the main course, we shared a curry shrimp plate with macaroni pie, maduros, and sautéed cabbage. Pricey at $30 but a filling plate with variety. Atmosphere was relaxed. Mix of families and folks hanging at the bar. I believe there was only one restroom which was single occupancy; I think it was handicap accessible too. Service was friendly. Pacing of the food was good. read more

Came in here for happy hour, and I met Owen, the bartender, who was very engaging, and all of the drinks he made me were good. I ordered the jerk chicken, which was good and spicy. The music is good and the location is convenient. I've been aiming to come here for a while, and I'm glad I walked in today. I will def come back to try more food on the menu and more drinks If you're in the canarsie area, definitely go to trinijam for a drink and bite to eat. The vibe is nice. In the summer, there is outside seating. read more

Our visit here was really a wave of events. Overall, they earned their 4 stars; and I would return when brunch becomes available. As a local Canarsie residence, I've passed the place multiple times and wanted to check them out. I originally came here to have Sunday brunch with a cousin. Wasn't seeking anything too "boozey" but definitely bottomless mimosas, good food and high vibes!!! Tho, the menu has a "Sunday Brunch" option, our server, Owen, and the owner let us know such menu will be available soon... that was VERY disappointing!!!! But we're already there, hungry and didn't want to search and travel to a new location. We reviewed the menu, but unfortunately the appetizer items we wanted weren't available. We managed with shrimp options and mac & cheese for starters. (See pic) The Mac and cheese tasted like home mac pie. In all its Trini glory, with that bold mustard taste mixed in with cheese and seasoning. The firecracker shrimp was BOMB! Definitely an explosive taste of Fire and spice!! Unfortunately, the reggae boys shrimps fell short. They were undercooked. As for our meal, allllllllll components were very good, tasty,and freshly prepared. (See pics for item details) Our mimosa pitchers were well made. The correct amount champagne VS juice ratio. Areas of improvement: More servers available. I'm not sure if it's normally slow on Sundays, however this Sunday had a healthy flow of patrons. Menu item availability. Many options weren't available. Our experience here was very nice. We stayed for a few hours, enjoyed drinks and food, and we didn't feel rushed. It was a lovely place to spend a Sunday afternoon, and looking forward to returning in the warmer months read more

Many times I have drivieb past this place and said I had to try it but it always was closed. Thus weekend I said let me stop and go to the door. They were closed but offered me take out. I didn't mind so I did that. I was told they are reservations only which is interesting but whatever works for businesses I can't judge. We ordered and was told it would be a fifteen minute wait. We sat where we should not have been seated on our own will and was nicely offered water and then moved to another area outdoors. Our food was serves dine in style which was very accommodating. Seriously, the food was amazing. So amazing, I returned later on and let my dad eat and I had a drink. My only issues would be the decor lacks luster. I feel like a dining experience needs to be an experience from the time you walk in the door. The bar drink I had was a Pina colada but it didn't really taste like it in my opinion so I wouldn't order it next time I visit. Also, once again a dining experience is very important to me. Dinner is an occasion for people to talk and converse and fellowship. Even in your home, dinner is for families to wind down, unless I'm just off. The music in so many restaurants are so loud, I don't want to scream over dinnner, so it would be so great if restaurants played light music, even just an instrumental so you can have a peaceful and relaxing dinner. read more

They have the potential for great food not only because of the cuisine but spices they have available to them. However, while the ambiance is there the presence isn't. We walked in around 7pm on a Saturday and the place was dead. We doubted because usually the place is questionably opened or desolate closed to the point you ask yourself if they're still open. The service, our table had, was friendly but they were lacking a lot. There wasn't one thing in the menu that they actually had to reassuringly order without they'll coming back to tell you they didn't or they can do something else. The bartender wasn't there so the server/waitress/bartender/hostess told what she could make it was good at. That's a disservice. We had the wings plain and that was seasoned enough to actually taste good. No sauce. That means they have the potential to make great tasting food but you can't taste it if they rarely have anything that can be ordered. For dinner we attempted several entrees, and Everytime they came back saying they didn't have it or someone just ordered it. But it was strange because only a couple people came in after but it wasn't a packed place. After that, we decided not to order anything to eat. Finished our drinks and left with that. A major disconnect or improvement needs to be addressed here. They can be much better. read more

We popped in on a Thursday for Happy Hour. There were a few patrons and the music was GREAT. The bartender was very attentive and made an amazing drink called the Pineapple Drop.

04/01/23: After a 12+ work shift no cooking was being done. Local spot in my neighborhood some items they prepare ok some times pretty good. One of those is anything curry shrimp. Asked my son to call to place order for curry shrimp roti but they were out so had the curry shrimp dinner instead. Good size portion need a bit more plantain though..lol. Curry shrimp very flavorful this time around though a bit dry needed more gravy. All in all good meal will continue to patronize. read more

TriniJam BK - Curry Shrimp Large Meal - Trinidadian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

My siblings and I visited this restaurant on Saturday night. It was very quiet as we were the only people in the establishment. A few people came in afterwards. It was slow for a Saturday night. The interior of the restaurant is very nice. The staff was minimal because the regular bartender was off and a lot of the food items were not available. We are ordered some passionfruit margaritas and Jack and coke. We decided to have the wings. We ordered the honey garlic and regular fried wings. The fried wings were delicious and way better than the honey garlic flavor. I was disappointed that I didn't get to try the entrees on the menu being that a lot of the food items were unavailable. The waitress was very nice and she provided us with shots due to us not being able to order entrees. I would give this restaurant another try but I hope I come in on a night when the regular bartender is there and the chef is able to provide everything on the menu. read more

I give this place 4 stars solely for the drinks, the music and the service...NOT the food! I had the rum punch- strong and delicious! The margarita was also really good. The oxtail...not so much. While the flavor is there, it was very tough- not at all moist, no meat falling off the bone. I wouldn't order again. && The stew chicken was just ok. The music was great if you love Soca, and the staff is very friendly and communicative! If you decide to go, go with a full stomach ready to drink and open to getting off the bar stool and dancing! read more

I had a wonderful experience at a reception recently. The food was delicious, the staff was kind and accommodating and the atmosphere was memorable.

Everything was clean including the facilities.!I would definitely go there again. The couple who had reserved said it was their favorite restaurant. read more

Wow! What a nice place. We went here on a Saturday afternoon and the woman at takeout was so nice. Their vegetarian options on the rotis are excellent. Their food tastes so fresh, and you see them making the rotis right in front of you. This is a place that does not disappoint. Go! read more

My family and I have been eyeing this place ever since it opened about 2 years ago. We are Canarsie natives, and the location where this restaurant is nostalgic. Years ago this storefront use to be the Canarsie Grill, where my Aunt use to work at as an early young adult. My family is from Barbados and it was great to see a yummy West Indian restaurant open up in the area. We decided to go to Trini Jam for my Dad's birthday on 2/8/24. We arrived about 12:30 PM around opening time. The server that greeted us at the door, was very pleasant, friendly, patient, and accommodating. We did not catch his name but he was a young light skin gentlemen with dread locks. We did not have to wait long for our food even though, we arrived within the opening hour. We ordered 2 plates of the Jerk Chicken meal and white rice, chicken wings, with veggies. All portions were large and satisfying. The food was very tasty, flavorful, with extreme notes of traditional West Indian flavors such as scotch bonnet pepper, jerk sauce/seasoning, thyme, and pimento seeds. The drink options were all traditional and homemade West Indian drinks. Some freshly made and others from the Grace brand and Ting. So don't expect to ask American sodas and beverages, however this was not an issue for me or my family. The Ambiance of Trini Jam was just wonderful. The establishment was very clean, cozy, and neat. The tables were spaced together well. There was an open bar and TV monitors, great for watching sporting events. We were the only customers that sat down to eat that early afternoon however, there's enough spacing and privacy between tables. We all were very full and satisfied from our meals, and the Sever checked on us multiple times during our stay. When we were leaving the Sever was so kind of enough to give my mother and I both 2 big red roses. We will definitely be back at Trini Jam since this is in the neighborhood and in walking distance from residential homes. Trini Jam is truly a hidden gem in the Canarsie neighborhood! read more

The portion sizes were HUGE! We had 2 orders of buss up with curry chicken, potatoes chana and pumpkin. We had left overs for days. 1 plate would be enough for 2 people. Just need to order an extra buss up/roti skin on the side if available. Our only gripes were the small amount of chicken in the meals and the pumpkin tasted a little burnt. Other than that the flavor was good. We'll definitely try them again and post an update. read more

Best Caribbean in Canarsie! Everything here is good. Curry goat buss up is crazy! Jerk chicken is great but they are sometimes out.

Delicious food nice decoration and the service was awesome. Felt like we were on an island not Brooklyn.

This place has been open for awhile now and I'm ashamed to say that despite it being in my neighborhood I've never been. With that being said my wife and I decided to give it a try and thank goodness we did, the food was delicious. We order the Bake & shark and curry chicken, it was perfectly seasoned and flavorful. The portions size is nothing to scoff at. Not only do I plan to come back...often I might add but I would 100% recommend this place to friends. I look forward to another date night with good food and great service. FYI: the Dj was on point. read more

My husband and I have been wanting to try this place since it opened so , we decided to stop by on a Friday afternoon after work. The place was pretty empty when we came so we just grabbed a couple of seats. The server was very pleasant and attentive and so was the bartender. The drinks were definitely hitting. The food however took a very long time to come and they didn't have any of the items we originally wanted. What we got was ok but I've definitely had better. The restaurant is pretty and the music that was playing was nice until the live musicians came. We left shortly after they arrived. read more

Went on a Sunday evening and most of the tables in the restaurant were taken except for one so we were seated there. It seemed very busy and there were only two waitstaff (one who was also the bartender) and the other, who looked like she was still in training. Pros: doubles, rum punch, curry shrimp, sweet plantains Cons: salmon was cold, PORTION SIZE of curry shrimp was way too small, Dunn's River drink, service Let me start off by saying that our waitress Keana pretty much saved the night. She was the bartender and the waitress, for essentially EVERYONE in the restaurant. I hope that the young lady she was training is able to improve because there will be times when a restaurant will be busy, unexpectedly, and she needs to be able to catch up and help her fellow staff and provide good service. It is recommended to make a reservation in this place as it was explained that they were not prepared to have so many people come in on a Sunday night. I'd like to give this place another chance, maybe someday during warmer weather. This experience was a 3.5 out of 5 experience. To be honest, Keana's service and the pros listed above are the only reason why I'd like to recommend this establishment and give it another shot. She deserve a raise! read more

I really wanted to like this place but unfortunately I will not be back. Very nice owner and employees but horrible service. Was told we needed a reservation (but was allowed to be seated) for a restaurant that had plenty of available tables the whole time we were there. It took 2 hours to get our food. There were only 2 employees on the dining room floor trying to host, bartend and serve food at the same time. People that came in after us were being served before us. They were bringing the wrong orders to tables. One employee was sent home because of it. As a compensation for the horrible service and inconvenience the owner offered us complimentary drinks but there's no way this type of service is acceptable. I had the curry chicken roti. It was decent. Not the best, not the worst but in no way worth waiting 2 hours for. read more
