    Doubles

    It was fun to get back to Lefferts after so many years. The A train is dreary but fast. I have no new food insights; the doubles remain awesome, with an idea ratio of sweet and spicy. But I'm writing to suggest that years-old service gripes here shouldn't be a factor. The workers were great with me and with another customer who had more complex inquiries than my doubles-only order.

    Hassar curry (fish curry) second time having this dish and it did not disappoint. To be able to buy this dish from a restaurant is a treat because most people cooks this at home. Hard to cook this when cooking for one. Dish also comes with a boiled egg. It's really a treat and considered a delicacy in Guyana.

    I bought some things and it's amazing what their selling to customers. The only reason I stop here it's close to the train I don't live in queens.first of all customer service it's very poor,of all the things I bought only the caramel was fresh Eggball had shells and no sour Cakes was spoiled Hassar curry was not-fresh Cassava pone was not-fresh I wouldn't recommend this place to no one,and would never go back. There's a better spot just 1 minutes away on the same street.

    Every piece of meat was pink. I couldn't eat it . . . . . . This was just unacceptable . . . ..............

    For typical good Guyanese food, just like they cook in Guyana. If you love spicy and Caribbean you'll love this place.

    As I was looking for a lunch to go I noticed this place sells doubles. I went in and asked the price. $2.50. I got two. I was asked if I wanted them with everything. I said yes. I'm not sure what everything included besides the normal chickpeas plus they put some hot and spicy sauce on it. I doubt anything else went on them. They were ready within 5 minutes. When I got to eat it the bread was soft similar to a Trinidadian buss up shut roti. The chickpea curry was flavorful even without the sauce.

    Now if you happen to be in the area--or simply feel like summoning it to your door via Uber…read moreEats--this is the spot to experience Trinidad's infamous Bake and Shark. Among the many soigné Trini eateries scattered across Queens, this one layers in just the right accoutrements to truly awaken your palate. The Bake and Shark itself is a revelation: flaky, golden, and impossibly crisp, yet light and ethereal with every bite. Sweet bursts of pineapple weave through the savory richness, striking a perfect balance that transports you straight to the shoreline--sun on your skin, salt in the air, and the rhythm of the Caribbean just beyond the waves. You officially have the Supreme touched.

    Craving a quick bite that's full of flavor? Hit up Trinciti Roti Shop on Lefferts Blvd in Queens…read moreNY. This hidden gem serves traditional Trinidadian food. You can get huge servings, of chicken, beef, shrimp, oxtail, duck, rice and vegetables in lunch and dinner servings sizes. While we do love the complete meals, we came exclusively for the "doubles". These savory pastries pack a flavor explosion that can't be beat. Made of flour and fried, these moist but crispy disks are stuffed with your filling of choice. 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. The toppings consist a healthy slathering of spiced chickpeas, tangy tamarind chutney and spicy pepper sauce. If you can't handle spice, leave out the pepper but without the sauce, the depth of flavor is absolutely lastonishing. I selected one shrimp and onw goat double, my partner in crime filled his with assorted veggies. The vibe is fast paced and super busy so grab a menu, decide what you want and be ready to order when it's your turn. They also sell assorted beverages to help cool you off. I'm studying the menu for my return trip. Enjoy.
