Description

A tiny neighborhood Trinidadian spot near Flatbush Junction, this is the kind of place you pass often but might never think to enter—until the craving for doubles hits. The doubles, a beloved street snack of curried chickpeas tucked into fluffy fried bread, are a standout: customers who try them often find themselves planning a return trip just for another bite. The vegetable roti also earns enthusiastic praise, described as flaky, generously stuffed, and incredibly satisfying for the price. Sides like spiced codfish cakes and okra round out the menu. But the experience is decidedly mixed: some visitors have been put off by service that ranges from sassy to outright rude, and quality can be inconsistent, with complaints about overly peppery roti or bland doubles on another visit. The seating is minimal, so most people grab their food to go, but there's a small area to eat if you'd rather stay. For affordable, authentic Trinidadian flavors, it's worth a stop—just be prepared for the possibility of a gruff welcome.
