I went to Trinijambk with my friend and my mom we were extremely happy and interested to eat From Trini BK , as a former Trini myself. It’s always wonderful to eat and experience my culture. However my experience left a bad taste in my mouth . Before arriving my mom had made sure to call to find out if we’d need reservations, the lady on the phone insured her that if we arrived from 7:30-8:00 we’d be fine and that we didn’t need reservations . Now as we are seated the waiter approach’s to take our order we asked him for a little more time , as we where still looking at the menu. As doing that another worker ( not sure if he was the Manager or owner or just another worker ) approach’s us and begins to explain that food is running out. He continues to tell us that the restaurant runs strictly on reservations. Now I’m extremely confused and begin to ask how if the lady on the phone insured that we didn’t need one . This worker became very condescending and just repeated the same information over and over , while giving us no clear answers. HOWEVER NO WHERE ON THEIR INSTAGRAM NOR YELP SAYS YOU NEED RESERVATIONS! So my mom shows the worker their Instagram and just asks where on their page says that “you have to call for reservations” .He Says “ we’ve been like this for a year now “ at this point we are all turned off and completely confused with his confusing information. The communication is terrible! , and to make to make matters even better as we decided to leave he acted as tho he could’ve cared any less . AS HE STILL CONTINUED TO SEAT PEOPE AS WE LEFT!!!!!! So turned off and completely disgusted in how they treat their customers

This place is okay. The last time my bestie and I went, We ended up waited over an hour for avocado salads, Mac pie, and curry goat. We called ahead of time asking for avocado salads and a made reservation. ‍♀️ They opened late so things weren't ready yet but why have us wait over an hour? But one bad day doesn't mean it's a bad place. The drinks are more so Manhattan prices I want to believe. Ranging from $14 and up. I like the passion fruit margarita and the henny colada. I might go back again for the avocado salad but having us wait over an hour for food definitely rubbed me the wrong way. Update: Went today around 2 PM (07.29.22) and still... CANNOT GET AN AVOCADO SALAD. This is last summer all over again. I wasn't very happy, that was the only item on the menu Im excited about. And like everything else, prices have raised. I really liked our waitress and we soon became the only people at the restaurant so it was pretty chilled. But once again, it's upsetting that something is on the menu and it isn't available after the restaurant has been opened for about 1.5 hours. And if you pay with credit card there is charge so I would use debit or cash. If you're using cash, bring more than you normally would. The prices tend to rack up quickly if you're not careful. For two people, I ended up spending little more than $150 dollars not including tip. We got wings, mac n cheese, curry goat meal, shrimp pasta, veggies and plantains sude orders, and 4 drinks (Bob Marley, henny colada and rum punch)

I love the vibes & the atmosphere. The food was good (I had the garlic wings), & the drink was okay (The Bob Marley). The employees was really nice, friendly, & professional. This was my first time there. I will definitely go back, to try other items on the menu. But I must say, they're a little expensive. Update: 09/09/22. I came back, & spent $60 on take out. I had an oxtail dinner, my husband had a snapper dinner, & a side of mac & cheese. Where should I start. Some of the food lacked flavor, while some was too salty. The rice was over cooked, & under cooked at the same time. Maybe it was made different days, & mixed together, I don't know. But some of it was mushy, while some wasn't done at all. The oxtails was a small portion, that were mainly fat, & no meat. The mac & cheese was not tasty at all. The fish, shouldve been better prepared (my husband said it had no flavor). It was horrible! I was so disappointed, & my husband was as well, because I told him, the food was good. I mean $60 is a lot of money, for what appears to be a hit or miss restaurant. Needless to say, we won't be back. I hope they put our $60 to good use. I have to take away two stars for this. The young lady, that was so friendly the last time I went, appeared to have a bit of an attitude today. Again, I'm so disappointed, & unsatisfied. NEVER AGAIN! A restaurant this expensive, should be consistent with the quality of their food. We minds well had taken our money, & threw it out of a car window.

I chose this place for my pre birthday celebration .the outside seating is very attractive online. Unfortunately it was raining so the outside portion was closed. The inside is clean but small and gives the vibe of a cafeteria I was 45 minutes late for my 7 pm reservation but the place was empty except for a table of ladies and 2 people at the bar. I chose this place for the roti,unfortunately they were out of several items on the menu, which are discontinued after a certain time to ensure zero waste and guaranteed fresh food. I had the Ackee and salt fish egg rolls..AMAZING! The drinks were a little too sweet but the owner and his wife are very gracious and welcoming. Although the place closes at 9 they allowed us to stay until almost 11pm. This place has great potential to reach 5 stars for me and I intend to go back and give them that chance..ps if you make reservations ..order what you want so it can be prepared for you.

I would have given 5 stars until my experience last night. I was happy to find a Trini restaurant last year and the food was great!! We ordered curry chicken, callaloo, coo coo, veggie rice, mango chow, green fig salad, avocado salad and more and it was amazing. I live in NJ and not often in Bklyn and last night was my 4th time having their food and it was the first time I was disappointed . It seemed to me someone different must have been cooking, but on inquiring with the kitchen, I was told that they knew some older people were at the table, so they reduced the amount of seasoning in the food. Really…?! Is that done in Trinidad or Jamaica? And 2 of the 4 people at my table were in their 60’s so are they too old for seasoning?. We were all Trinis at the table and expected what we had before. We came there because it was the 80+ yr old’s birthday and this is where she chose to go out of all other options. The good vibes there isn’t enough to keep me coming from Jersey, but the good food would. But, with the new exorbitant prices and hit or miss food, I don’t think so.

  • Carla Joanem

If I could rate this place below A 1, I WOULD. I guess I can start with the glows, it’s a pleasing aesthetic, we were seated quickly and the drinks aren’t bad. The lack of service is astonishing to say the least. My co workers and I waited over two hours for our food and DRINKS. When we requested that the bill be adjusted for the severe wait time, we were shut down by the owner. In no way was paying full price the problem, however service is very much apart of the price that you are expected to pay. The service we received was far below standard. You would think that we would be compensated in some sort of way? It’s one thing to wait two hours for your food, but to wait for your food and then taste it and it is SALTY. Very disappointing. The owner had a difficult time receiving our feedback nor did he apologize. The customer service in this establishment is extremely POOR.This place will not see me again. Take your coins elsewhere.

Visited this restaurant on June 26, 2022 (a Sunday). Called ahead and ordered a curry chicken and stewed fish. Took an hour. They did not have channa and potatoes for the chicken roti so they discounted for it, but the chicken was the standard amount, which looked small inside such a large roti skin (it was however made in house and tasted fresh). The total was still over $50. Because it took so long I did speak with the manager/owner with my concerns as I had ice cream melting in my car and didn't think the food would take so long, especially since I called ahead. He told me that if I am going to buy food from him, that wait times could be an hour or longer (I was not told this when I placed the order). After telling him that I did not appreciate such a high wait time or having him rationalize bad business practices he told one of the associates to refund me 10%, which turned out to be a little more than $5. Keep in mind the restaurant was not particularly crowded at that time.

This place is absolutely amazing! I lived in this neighborhood for 21 years and I can say Trini Jam BK adds value, class and trendiness to our restaurant scene. I ate outside on the outdoor patio, and for a moment I forgot I was in Brooklyn. The ambiance has a organic island feel. It was the weekend so they had a live performance by the great “Anslem Douglas” singer/song writer for “Who let the dogs out” which made the experience even more memorable. I ordered the bbq wings and the “Duns River” cocktail and I loved them both! If you’re looking for place to go on a first date, or to celebrate a birthday, or even just to grab a drink by the bar and a good meal than Trini Jam BK is my Five star recommendation. It is imperative that we support establishments like these in our neighborhoods that bring quality and value so they can continue to grow and set the standard for other potential businesses in our community.

  • Kwe A

If you are in search of authentic Caribbean cuisine, look no further. TriniJam BK has all bases covered with its extensive selection of cultural favorites. Everything I have tasted on the menu is delicious. The drinks are on point and the staff is friendly and courteous. The owner, Calvin is always interacting with the guests and introduces himself, his beautiful wife Latoya, and their kids. Really makes you feel at home. Wonderful family business in the heart of Canarsie!

I don’t usually write reviews but I had to after this visit. If it takes 50 minutes just for APPETIZERS to be served after placing an order, there’s a major problem, Followed up with taking over an hour for the actual meal to be served. One of the employees addressed this in saying it was the first day of new hires and they were in the process of training so you would think there would be some type of compensation for the major wait time but none. Wasn’t able to order a cocktail due to the slushee machines not working, and while the appetizers were decent, the meals were mediocre and overpriced. And after all that the nerve to add 18% gratuity on the check is beyond ridiculous. I’m disappointed I decided to stay the whole time and will definitely not be returning and advise anyone else to stay away from here.

Wife and I came from NJ to try out TriniJam and it was worth it! My wife just said to me this morning that we have to plan another date in BK so that we can come back. The service was phenomenal. We ordered our meal and halfway through eating the server brought us a dish to try it was an eggplant appetizer and it was ROCKIN. Not to mention the salmon and oxtail and macaroni Pie meal. We also had amazing customer service in the server and management. We will most definitely be back to try other dishes. Not to mention the doubles were one of the best i’ve ever had!

My husband and I stumbled upon the restaurant, and trust me, it was amazing. The food was amazing, and it was well prepared. I alone took two pic because as soon as my food came out, I started to eat. This is the restaurant you go to when you're looking for delicious food that tastes like your mother cooking the young lady that was taking our order was amazing also my husband is jamaica and both of us had to take time to explain the difference between a roti and dhal puri lol listen, please, please make sure you get the mango chow it's a must-have

I pass this spot driving by and always wanted to see how the food was. I finally stop by an took a chance. I dinned outside, however inside dinning was available if u was wondering. Staff was very nice and friendly. Even some made a few jokes which put smiles on our faces. Drinks here was nicely balanced just the way I like it. Food was better than I expected. I had salmon with white rice with spinach and spinach sauce. The salmon was fork licking good and that spinach sauce was a perfect addition. We all know what white rice taste like so I don't need to get into that . I have to return to see what else taste great on the menu.

I was told I needed reservation when only 3 out of 12 table was occupied. The following guess was told that they didn't need reservations and the ghost point out all the empty table. Waited 1 hours for 2 dish of food and 30min for the check. Food was overpriced due to separate charge for stew and rice/roti etc. Peas and rice was very hard. The Oxtail and jerk chicken was delicious but the fried rice was lacking. There server Tristan was very nice but it seems like he was the only one working there beside the female behind the bar with an attitude. There were other female workers walking around doing nothing, Tristan was doing everything from taking orders to cleaning table. Give this guy a raise.

  • R R

The food was AMAZING, staff was very personal, except for one incident. I think it may have been the owners lady, I had a situation with my nephew, my sister was present, and she stated “ you guys don’t look like sisters , I know you know that “ I thought that was so tacky and tasteless, like girl, how you know if he have different daddy’s - either way, besides that, the food was great , as well as the atmosphere. I’m sure I’ll be back , but sure she’ll get a side eye from here on out.

We had such high expectations for this place. From the outside it looks so inviting. My friend & I gave the following stars: Food: 3 Service: 2.5 Drinks: 2 Ambiance: 3 We found dark/black hair in the wings and wanted to get up & leave in that moment but decided to stick it out. The 2nd order of drinks made us feel like we shouldn’t have stayed b/c they tasted like medicine. We did not drink them, told our server, and still got charged for them. Our server was nice and attentive in the beginning but as the evening went on she just seemed like we were annoying her. The food was good but not enough to return again!

We had the best time at TriniJamBK. Went here for birthday drinks and dinner. Our server Nolan was very attentive. One of the owners, Calvin, graciously stopped by our table to chat with us. The food is authentic Trini style, flavorful and freshly prepared. The bake & shark is a generous portion. I had the grilled escovitch salmon and it was by far the best I’ve ever tasted. The drinks were lovely! The DJ brought good vibes playing de best soca music. I am definitely looking forward to stopping through again. This spot is everything Trini.

My sister and I had such a wonderful experience at TriniJam. It took a little while to be seated but that was the only flaw to the evening. We were served by such a friendly server and everything we ordered tasted incredible. The jerk chicken, tamarind wings, doubles and macaroni side were especially flavourful and hot. We got to meet Calvin, the host. He introduced himself and shared that this was a family run business. We got to try a corn soup which was also hearty and perfectly spiced. We will definitely be coming back. Authentic Trinidadian food needs to be celebrated.

  • Shana C

We ordered 5 meals and 4 out of 5 of them were on point. The curry goat roti--so good! Grilled shrimp roti, 5 stars! Escovitch fish with rice and peas-- delicious. Brown stewed fish was not great. The sauce was not good and we asked for Spanish rice and got rice and peas instead. The food was great though so we'll be back. We just won't order the brown stewed fish. Highly recommend.

This place has great out side dinning when the weather is great, the service was good except some one of my friend food was not cook to great we had to send it back twice , but the manger was very accommodating to our needs, we were not charged for that plate of food, they let us stay until closing an the server's was great at their jobs, thanks again TriniJam, I do recommend that every one give this place a visit, the food was still excellent. Thanks again.

  • Edward King

Food was excellent, I'd say its better than your regular chain west Indian restaurants (if u know what I mean ) . We did dine in and the place was busy with one waiter and one bartender so assume it may take a lil while for your food n drinks to come out , other than that I'd come back again for the food

This place is a wonderful new addition to the neighborhood, offering Trinidadian as well as Jamaican cuisine. The food that I tried (wings, TJBK avocado salad, oxtail with rice and peas, and curry goat with dahl puri roti and pumpkin) were all delicious! The drinks (It Wasn't Me, Quinam Beach and Twisted Jumbie) were all tasty and strong enough for a nice buzz. All in all I have no complaints and this will definitely become a regular spot for me. Keep up the great work.

Really not that great. I ordered to go for my family. We were waiting for a while and when it did finally become too much and I let them know, the food was apparently already done and they just… forgot? The salad was okay but I would not order from here again. Also the Bake and Shark comes with a ridiculous amount of toppings that they do not specify on the menu and it is not good at all.

Really good food, the vibe is definitely there for a caribbean restaurant with wild colors, backyard-type seating and loud dancehall and reggae music to set the tone. Staff was very nice and welcoming. I owe a star to this joint tho. I can’t really say it made it for me and food was a tad overpriced. Don’t get me wrong, go there, it’s a really nice place, but if you move a little towards the city you’ll find a very fair competition.

  • Kim Ferreira

Calvin along with his staff showed outstanding customer service & professionalism, they made you feel as if you have known them for years, the vibe is amazing & not to mention the food is fresh & cooked by order, the flavor is out of this world authentic Trini cuisine will have you licking your fingers!! Music & drinks are on point, will absolutely be visiting again very soon!!!! Thank again for making my sons bday extra special!!!!

  • Tinesha Calderón-Waterton

Trini Jam is the best Caribbean restaurant I have been to. The food is amazing and I felt like i was back home. Travis and his wife were so amazing. To know the history behind the name is fascinating. I am so happy knowing that I have a place that I can go to when I want to unwind. I will be back with my loved ones and hope to have my birthday celebration here with the Trini Jam Family. Thank you again for this amazing experience.

  • PushyAngel

Bro best Caribbean resturant in Canarsie. The food is divine. The owner always has the best convos/ stories about back home in Trinidad. Some of the bartenders are phenomenal, I love that this is family owned so it has a family vibe in there. They’ve done a great job. I need to find a back up spot for the days they closed. But nothing comes close yet.

The food is actually very good. I'm not going to lie. The price of the Goat Roti I ordered did seem a bit high. I figured that since it was a new location for me, let me try it once and see how it is. Then I saw the size of the Roti. It was huge!!! They had to put the Roti in a large container and I ate it with a fork. I never ate a Roti with a fork before. The Roti tasted good too. I would recommend giving this place a shot.

My favorite Trini-Jamaican restaurant and definitely the best West Indian option in Canarsie. Love the jerk chicken and the roti options are on point. Don’t forget to pick up a restaurant brand pepper and tamarind sauce for your personal stash

One of the best Local restaurants I’ve been to in a while great Ambience great food and drinks nice and strong “gave what it had to give hunny” we had a Live Performance from Anslem Douglas writer of “who let the dogs out” live music usually Friday’s or Saturday Great family owned Food was amazing Will definitely will come again prices was good for party of 3 much love!

  • Peter C

Wonderful establishment! The bartenders are very nice, and the drinks are unique and strong. Their Quiman’s Beach cocktail is absolutely incredible - a ginger lover’s delight!!! Also, for the covid cautious this place is perfect in the summer. There are lots of fans going and a huge open window letting breeze inside! There’s also a lil bit of outdoor seating. I’ll definitely be back.

  • Sueann Morgan

The place is very nice, the staff is excellent and the food is great. The owner and cook really goes all out to make ppl feel comfortable and welcome. The music is great and drinks. Came here tonight with my husband and daughter and enjoyed yourself regardless of the rain they moved us inside an all was good. Excellent stop will be coming again with the rest of my trini ppl .

  • Jewel Brown

I was at the restaurant two weekends straight. The first Friday night, I drank Twisted Jumbie and it was wonderful. Saturday night, I had the Rum punch it was extremely smooth. I ate peas and rice with stewed chicken. It was well seasoned. This is now my local go to place for Caribbean meals.

I will give this establishment as much business as i can TRUST!

  • Eric Cortes

Wow! What a nice place. We went here on a Saturday afternoon and the woman at takeout was so nice. Their vegetarian options on the rotis are excellent. Their food tastes so fresh, and you see them making the rotis right in front of you. This is a place that does not disappoint. Go!

Such a nice vibe. Black owned business Food was just amazing. Priced reasonably. Trinijam Pina Colada...I could drink that all day. They were running out of food but its a fairly new business also. There was one male waiter and he felt very new-just rookie errors but again its a fairly new spot. Live music. I will definitely be back.

I had a pleasure of dining here yesterday and I must say. It doesn’t get as authentic for Trinidadian food as this place. The jerk chicken, wings. Grilled salmon and lollipop lamp chops were so delicious. If I could give them 10 stars I would. Best Caribbean restaurant I’ve been to.

  • Kaaren Elliott

Other than my ridiculously salty curry goat, everything else was fine. (My friend's curry goat was not nearly as salty as mine. I dunno what the deal was with that.)

Pulled up at 7:03pm with a party of 10 eager to taste the food based on all the great reviews. To our surprised it was closed, although on Google it shows as open on Thursday until 9pm. Won’t be attempted again. Aside from this, anytime you call no answer.

The bake and shark I bought was delicious, but the service was TERRIBLE! I was appalled by the despicable attitude that I encountered was disheartening and enough to deter me from patronizing or even recommending this restaurant. Go elsewhere.

My partner and I had the absolute pleasure of dining at this Trinidadian restaurant in September 2022, and it was an experience we won't soon forget. While the food did require a bit of patience, let me tell you, it was well worth the wait!

  • cheyianne Johnson

As much as the food is good with good portions, servers need to be trained better on efficiency. Also whoever answers the phone twice I've had someone with a lackadaisical attitude. As much as I wish to support this needs to improve.

  • Sha-nay Elliott (Shay)

Amazing place, its a most go to restaurant if your in to caribbean food. Food reminded me of my grandmother food back home. My fiance and I love their drinks ( Ram punch and TriniJamPina calado made by the owner). We'll be back.

Worst food ever. Worst service from the manager/boss. Cold food. Would never go back to that restaurant. Failure food. Failure service. Food seems to be warmed up. Rice wasn’t cooked properly. Food was very salty.

  • Jo China

The food is always excellent as well as friendly familial servers and the ambiance is definitely Caribbean. We were transported as we walked into the restaurant which also had an upscale vibe. Always going back!

  • Dinesha Calderon

Trini Jam is amazing.. the staff are all warm and welcoming. The food is to die for. From the first bite my heart melted. Please if you want a taste of home Trini Jam is the place. Will be coming back for sure.

  • Valerie Shannon (Val)

This is a nice spot. The food was good and reasonably priced. They were a understaffed - only one girl working the whole place - taking the orders - seating - distribute food. But overall it was good
