Trinidadian food in NYC

40 Trinidadian restaurants in New York City, listed by borough.

Trinidadian food is Caribbean with deep Indian roots. Start with doubles, curried chickpeas between two pieces of fried bara, eaten standing up, then roti: curry chicken, goat or shrimp wrapped in dhalpuri or torn up as buss up shut. Pholourie, pelau and bake and shark round out the menu.

Two neighborhoods carry it. In Richmond Hill, Queens, Liberty Avenue and Lefferts Boulevard share blocks with Little Guyana; Trinciti Roti Shop there made the NYT 100. In Brooklyn, Flatbush and Crown Heights have the doubles stands, including A&A Bake Doubles and Roti, also NYT 100, and Ali's Roti Shop on our Little Caribbean adventure.
