    Two beef patties in a bag
    YM C.

    I couldn't help myself. First time here and I got excited to do some "research". I ordered goat, beef, chicken and ox tail roti. And two beef patties. Unfortunately I have just one stomach. I ate 1 of the 2 beef patties before I left the store. It was what a beef patty needed to be. Flaky outside and savory inside. Passed the taste test. Got home after a ton of traffic. Rotis were still warm. I started with the goat roti. It was great. Exactly what it needed to be. Not too saucy. Not too dry. Not too mushy. Goat curry has bones so you've been warned. This is not to be eaten like a burrito. Goat curry roti passed the taste test. I have to wait another day to try the others. Patience. I can do this. The store is small. Well lit. Clean. The folks behind the counter are efficient and direct. So do your homework before placing an offer. We ordered in person and waited about 20 mins for 4 rotis and 2 beef patties.

    Decent food spot but they forgot to give me napkins and utensils. Price increase since new management. mixed emotions on the service. Nice spot but could always improve.

    I'm officially addicted! This was my first time trying Trinidadian cuisine and I loved it! One of my clients suggested to try this spot out after our afternoon showings and I'm so glad she did! I am not fully versed in West Indian food so I was excited to try. I got the chicken Buss Up Shut which was delicious!! So flavorful and packed with yumminess. I had the roti to accompany which was equally as delicious. I also has the doubles which I had with the tamarind sauce ! Now when I tell you I think this minus the chicken was my favorite this is my favorite lol. I did get the doubles with some spice which I enjoyed but you can order them without spice. The restaurant itself is small but does have a place to sit and eat a quick meal. The restaurant was very clean which I really appreciated. The staff are really friendly and nice as well. I recommend getting there early as they get packed around lunch time and they sell out of doubles very quickly lol. Overall I highly recommend and can't wait to go back

    Dhalpourie Roti Jerk Chicken
    Jay V.

    My not-so-quick 30+ trip was fueled by my want of doubles and to much disappointment, the cashier told me they sold out around 1pm . This was a trip of firsts to this location although we're familiar with the quality at the McElderry shop. I settled for a jerk chicken roti after I felt tempted by the slightly hilarious yet very serious paper sign that read "WARNING!!!!! Jerk is very spicy. No refunds..." my husband decided on the veggie roti (spinach, Channa) with a side of curry potatoes. I threw in a chicken pattie just cause. All in all, the food was good for it to be a 6pm order. I added Matouks pepper sauce for a little razzle dazzle as the jerk wasn't that spicy to me. I wasn't able to snag pics of the veggie roti as we were starving by the time we got back. He did mention that the veggie roti had plentiful spice which caught him off guard. 4 stars only bc I didn't get my doubles, but will try again another day. There were 2 visible staff. One lady began taking our order but that ended abruptly when she immediately jolted to the back which was odd lol. We waited an additional 5 min to have our order taken after that since the cashier was tending to another customer. Total time spent ~10 min.

    Doubles

    I ordered doubles. This time there was something very hard, crunchy, sharp and non soluble in the doubles. Im not sure what it was, but its different and very offputting to consume. Everyone who got doubles in my order had the same experience. We didnt want to finish eating them as a result.

It's something that's only available from 7:00-11:00am on weekends, and I'm usually sleeping in or just not ready to get out of the house that early. My family and I were leaving for NY early on a Saturday morning, and I had no choice but to be awake and ready. So before we took off, I took advantage! It was around 8:30am and I was the only one in the restaurant. But it smelled amazing in there and they were friendly and happy! I had glimpsed the menu online, and I was scanning their screens for it above the register, but they had their regular menu up. I was walked through the options, and even got to taste a few things. I got to try sa\da roti for the first time, and I was intrigued. It's very similar to pita bread, but after looking it up I learned of the subtle differences. I was able to put pumpkin, smoked herring, saltfish, or eggplant & potatoes in it. I got food for my parents as well, so I settled on quite a few things: -Sada roti w/ pumpkin -Sada roti w/ eggplant/potatoes -Bake & saltfish -3 aloo pies Everything... was... STELLAR. I tasted the smoked herring and I honestly wish I got that in something, but I most certainly will next time. Is this the best Trini restaurant in the DMV?!

Definitely get the hot sauce on the side. Adds nice kick to it if you like it extra spicy. The next time I ordered buss up roti with oxtail stew and buss up roti with lamb stew. They both come with chicken peas and potato curry. Blend so well together. So delicious. Kinda addicting. It's a small place to dine in. They have about 5 tables. I recommend take out. Servers are great. They have so much patience in explaining some of their dishes if you're new to the Caribbean cuisine.

I mean there was only another couple at the time I visited but also the food came out quickly so huge plus! And the restaurant is spacious and casual so enough space for large parties. Overall I enjoyed it but there are a couple things that fell short! I ordered the chicken roti platter. 1.The roti! It's a very small portion served in a small coconut shaped bowl compared to the amount of food you got on the platter. I thought more was coming and unfortunately it was balled up in shredded little pieces that were kind of dry and i couldn't eat it properly with my sides. I thought maybe I had a bad batch but my friend had the same portion and complaint. Unfortunately no pic of that. 2: Honestly the plating is meant to be aesthetically pleasing but it was very hard to eat bone-in chicken out of a bowl on a saucer full of more bowls with a knife and fork. It was better when I took it to go and had a plate at home. Please reconsider this for the diners experience. 3. The doubles was my fave! It's a small app but very delicious and had a slight kick to it.

I feel like we generally have way more Jamaican food than Trini food around here (and even less of other islands), so it's a nice addition. If I wanted to I could walk / jog there, but otherwise it's a 5 minute drive. It's on a corner in Roosevelt Center where an Asian restaurant used to be. Even up until now, I see the Trini flags everywhere, and there are some pictures that still haven't been hung up. Sometimes they play music in there, and sometimes they don't -- I wish they'd play it all the time, because otherwise it can get oddly quiet in there. As for the food... 90% of the time I go is for their Sunday buffet. It's less than $30 for an all you can eat (AYCE) that includes plantain, chicken, fish, desserts, and some fantastic vegan dishes that are labeled as such. They have a whole vegan menu, in fact. And it's lovely to see all those on top of traditional Trinidadian options. When they first opened, they only served doubles and certain other things on weekends -- not sure if that's still the case, but they had signage to indicate that. By the way, I love their doubles. The buffet is the perfect way for me to unwind on Sundays, but I should try exploring other times, haha. I feel like a Caribbean restaurant in Old Greenbelt is a first, and I'm delighted to see the representation. Room for improvement: keep the drinks stocked during buffet, and there have been instances where no one is at the front and I've seen people waiting for a bit, sometimes impatiently. Perhaps add a bell to ring?
