What to Order
Doubles
A classic Trinidadian street food featuring two soft, fried flatbreads (bara) filled with curried chickpeas (channa) and various chutneys.
"The doubles are packed with flavor, and the roti is perfectly done. Every bite tastes authentic and homemade."
Forever Building
Pholourie
Light and airy fried dough balls, often served with a sweet and tangy tamarind sauce for dipping.
"The pholourie is on point best I have ever had, the doubles are packed with flavor, and the roti is perfectly done."
Forever Building
Jerk Chicken
Spicy and flavorful chicken, marinated in traditional jerk seasoning and cooked to tender perfection.
"I liked the heat on the jerk but the curry chicken already has spice so I would get it mild next time."
Visha Bhargava
Curry Chicken Roti
Tender curried chicken wrapped in a large, soft, and flavorful dhal puri roti.
"My fave is the oxtail soup and curry chicken roti. The SIZE of the roti is SOOOO generous!!"
Lisa Lee
Rice and Peas
A staple Caribbean side dish of rice cooked with kidney beans, coconut milk, and seasonings.
"Let’s talk about the rice and peas OMG so flavorful I devoured it so fast."
Visha Bhargava
Tamarind Sauce
A sweet and tangy condiment made from tamarind pulp, often served with pholourie and doubles.
"The tamarind sauce is great on everything. I haven't had such amazing food since my favourite place in Scarborough stopped making it."
