Bake and shark was bigger than I expected and the doubles were worth the trip. Don't let the long lines fool you, it goes fast because they have lots of employees behind the counter working. What stood out was how friendly the workers and the patrons were. I highly recommend!
So worth the wait! You must arrive patient and not starving, then you’ll enjoy the experience. It’s a little hectic to order, but the food was so flavorful and cheap that you just gotta trust the process. I got doubles: oxtail, boneless chicken, and potato, as well as aloo pies: boneless chicken and potato. All amazing! Makes for surprisingly good breakfast leftovers, too.
I ordered from here today on Uber Eats after not eating here for years. And while the food was decent it isn't somewhere I'd go out of my way to visit any more. Personally I foound the flavor of the curry to be lacking ...I've grown up making curry and clapping roti with relatives and I honestly find Glorias I&O in Brooklyn (Nostrand) to have a more flavorful curry. That being said I like the paratha to be a good quantity for the amount and tasty... if I could combine their paratha/buss up shut with GI&O curry it would be Heavenly as Gloria's always gives you a lil bit of buss up shut. The doubles I ordered from.Trincity and the puhlourie were delicious. The tambran sauce was thick and sweet with flavor, not the watered down stuff that other roti shops.give you. AND they give you sauce not just dump tambran sauce on your puhlorie.
My coworkers put me on to place they pick up me some doubles and you have extra time because the line go out the door.
I always hit this place when visiting fam in Queens 😁 We pulled up at 7a.m, no line, the middle of our order, line out the door. I ordered 2 bone-in curry chicken roti, 2 beef roti loaded with hot pepper sauce, of course, the server lady jokingly asked me if I'm staying home with all that pepper sauce I got.😆 Bake and sharks & some bakery treats. All taste great‼️ Excellent service!! They serve rotis separate if you want which worked well for me to freeze and take some back with me San Diego, Cali. A++ for sure. No Trini food for me out here unless I make it myself ✌🏽😘
Line was long to do the door and I could smell the curry from down the block so you know they burnt that ish well ! There was a sign on the line saying If you skip the line you’re going outside so that just lets you know , they be fighting up in this spot. One hour later finally my turn to order and the greedy spirit took over. Grabbed a small zoomerz cause you know ( portion control) that snack never misses! Next up bake with shark, poulouri with tamarind sauce and curry chicken roti. The workers were polite, prepared the food with gloves and the food was delicious !! There is no sitting area so grab and go people ! Check them out .

Absolutely amazing! They had such good food and gluten free goods to boot! Everything was so yummy that if I’m back in the area, I’ll definitely try other things on the menu
Best trini food in the tri-state area period. no one comes close to this place in 5 boro's. I have tried everything, and it is so good that I have tasted. The taste and authenticity are phenomenal. Real home food cooking from your favorite tanty.. for a super busy place from open to close the food is always good never had a bad experience here food is always on point and delicious. All the staff in this place deserve appreciation for the great service they provide from the cashiers, preparers, and cooks. You guys rock.

Hidden gem in Astoria with healthy vegan options. Everything is always fresh and delicious. Great sandwiches, empanadas and baked goods. Prices are a bit high but you be satisfied with great food

Fresh Start is one of Astoria's sensory treasures. What a delicious combination of amazing food (try the Rainbow Sandwich), soothing products, and wonderful service. In particular, Haroula is so friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful! Cannot recommend highly enough!

I ordered the everything green açaí bowl. The texture of the purée was excellent and made fresh. It wasn’t an artificially sweetened glop. Overall the atmosphere and selection of vegan options is best I’ve seen in Astoria!

I walked in and didn't even realize that the lady sitting at the table was actually the employee. I wanted to order a smoothie but had no idea where to do that... Finally was directed to the register where the lady at the table slowly made her way over. I asked about the smoothies and felt like I was talking to myself. I was then told I could just make my own smoothie. I asked if there was like a list of ingredients or something and was told no. So I started asking about different ingredients for my smoothie... I literally felt like I was wasting this lady's time. When I asked about an interesting sounding ingredient I saw on the menu (blue majik) no one could tell me what it was. Ok walked out with 2 bland smoothies and one over priced chocolate. I saw the owners response to someone saying they received bland smoothies because they didn't order the way it was exactly on the menu... But if that's a fact she knows, then why is the first thing her employee said to me was to create my own smoothie?
Heard about the place on IG. I knew I couldn't waste any time to get there. A plethora of doubles. My shrimp double was fantastic. Goat curry is so flavorful and with the pumpkin and buss up shot; my stomach is pleased. Definitely will return and bringing friends with me.

I've always loved this neighborhood gem but lately I've grown to love them even more because I've been ordering from them daily since I'm having construction done on my kitchen. They have quality natural, organic and vegan food, give ample portion sizes and above all, it's delicious! I also love the they throw in an occasional sample of their delicious vegan desserts! Highly recommend!

Paid $11 for a porridge and got this blended oat soup. Took 20 minutes even though i was repeatedly told 5 minutes. We asked for a refund and were told no.
