Not many places to get this kind of food.
I'm a 32 year downtown guy and when I'm jonesing for some serious Caribbean / Jamaican / West Indies....we'll let's say we all know the go-to best spots.
So when a new kid on the block like Baby Dhal throws down - it better be fricken amazing against the small but mighty competition! Jk jk lol
Anyways - what a beautiful meal we enjoyed last night, I had the curry roti roll a d the Mrs went straight for the ox tail - both cooked to perfection with lots of fresh spices and juicy tender meats. Well prepared and made with lots of love and care.
I'm sprung to plow through their menu and try more of their choices. The TING is kind of expensive but that's nothing to worry about!
Thanks so much for this meal you guys.Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 2Oh no 0 - Brian L.Vancouver, Canada071Apr 26, 2024
This place is fantastic. Everything on the menu is delicious. If you order it spicy it's actually spicy. The bus it up shut roti is like a buttery book of pages in the best way possible. They have these drinks called tropical rhythm and I can't find anywhere else. It's Trinidadian curry at 100% flavour. The only draw back is the lack of seating inside. Worth taking home though.

Very bland and overpriced, at least the vegetarian option I got.
This is a very casual Indian/Trinidadian-style roti shop with vegetarian and vegan options. You can get all their items on either rice, in dhal puri, or bussup shut. The vegetable option with rice and dhal puri are both vegan, so I got the dhal puri. It was a whopping $17 plus tax. You get a sizeable wrap with a nice flaky pastry, but inside is just potato and chickpeas, with a smidgeon of spinach.
It's tasty enough, but pretty bland and very carb-heavy with no real veggies. And for $17 plus tax, this is just not a good deal. You can get a much more satisfying, well-rounded roti at Indian Roti on cambie with actual vegetables and for several $ less. Go there for your rotis and steer clear of this place, at least for the veggie option. This was disappointing.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1 - May 20, 2022
I am not even going to come off as saying I know what authentic food is, but I know good food and good vibes when I feel and taste them. My wife had this place all planned out for a quick pickup at lunch, it was lucky too as we were going toward the location and called, and oddly on this day they weren't busy... as I said, lucky, as from the sounds of it, and even Roy, the guy who answered the phone, usually it is a 30 minute wait... so on with the day.
We called in for a vegetarian dhal puri roti and an order of the doubles, and while we were waiting the place had some good beats playing out of the speakers, and Roy was telling us some great suggestions of other Roti shops (not here of course... but in TO) and when our food came out it was just damn good, something that you can call comfort, something that was made with heart. This thing was hefty, as in the box had some weight, and the spices they used for the vegetarian filling were just as we ordered it, mild to medium spicy. Do not let this thing fool you, cause if you eat it all it may knock you out and put you on your behind, they give you a lot.. and you can tell they are using some good ingredients to boot.
As I said, I am not familiar with this kind of food, but next was the doubles that we ordered, and it was a soft bubbly flat bread with curried chickpeas, and some other stuff they are putting in, and I had this while driving, and at every stop light I was nibbling at a bite.
I am already ready to hit this place up again for some straight up meat selection but I love what I am eating here... and the awesome thing is that really shows how Vancouver is lacking in this culture's food.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 1 - Kim L.Toronto, Canada03Mar 18, 2024
I'm from Toronto where Caribbean food is everywhere. Trinidad DOUBLES especially. I was so happy when this place opened. Now I finally have a place to to go. The service is great. And I get a good vibe when I'm picking up my food or placing an order to pick up. MY NEW GO TO

D Besss!
If you looking for Trini food in the city, dis is d place!!
If you're familiar with food from Trinidad, I don't need to add much more.
But if you're new to it and the only other Caribbean food you've had is Jerk, this is not that.
This is authentic trini food with roots in East India. Roti, curries and doubles (famous street food made of curried chickpeas wrapped in two "barra": the softest fried bread). If you love Indian food, you'll love it. Flavourful, tasty and just a lil spicy, and lots of vegetarian and vegan options.
They also have an unbeatable selection of the most popular trini soft drinks many of which I've never seen outside of TnT.
This is a dream come true for a trini export longing for a little piece of home from time to time.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Deanna W.Vancouver, Canada562145May 24, 2022
Yummm! The food is so so good, and it's evident because even at closing time, people kept coming in through the doors hoping to get whatever's left!
We got the Stew Chicken, Curry Goat, and Curry Beef. It was all so so good.
We were told that to secure the Oxtail or the abuse up shut Roti, you should call in early or at least go in early because it gets sold out quick!!
Tip: medium spice was quite spicy for the stew chicken, but oh so flavourful!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
