    Linked up with my homegirl to chat and of course food was involved . We loved everything! The owners were very inviting and those drinks ? Please beware , they are strong ! Its a Caribbean vibe and that night they had a dj playing older soca music . Just vibed the entire night - will be returning !

    Jerk Chicken, Chow Mein, Steamed Vegetables, Veggie Fried Rice- All delicious!

    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!

    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. Service- 4/5 Rum punch was def tasty. The bartender was excellent- Asian guy who was cool, friendly and gave great recommendations and correct heat-level descriptions! Ambiance 4/5 Nice decor, loved the artwork on the wall and the Trini culture representation. Menus including happy hour are included in photos of review. 2 thumbs up, will return and would recommend

    Jerk Chicken
    Jeffrey G.

    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.

    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.

    If you're looking for the best Trini/jamacian food in Brooklyn check out TriniJamBK. The customer service was amazing. The ambiance was very nice giving an island feel and very cozy. This authentic Trini cuisine was packed with mouth watering flavors. The food was seasoned to perfection with a hint of spice. The food taste very fresh. The star of the show was the jerk chicken 10/10 it was the perfect balance of spicy, smoky, sweet & savory all in one delicious bite The drink were a 10/10 tasty and slight strong.

    The decor is on point

    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

    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.

    Wings

    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.

    Happy Hour appetizer- Firecracker Shrimp
    Marilyn S.

    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. It was a perfect drink for a summer evening. We also got some firecracker shrimp from the happy hour menu which were crispy and tangy. Well worth a visit.

    Beautiful artwork

    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.

    Curry Shrimp Large Meal
    Michelle O.

    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.

You can have meat, seafood, veggies or just plain if you are not feeling fancy. After selecting the filling, make sure you ask for " everything " toppings.

I hadn't visited in quite some years. I was happy to see they still had $5 meal specials available ( its small but back then it was enough).

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.

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.
