I have to say this was one of the best stops I’ve made along my journey across the United States! We had the doubles, which were incredible and full of flavor, I would have eaten two of those if I knew how good they’d be! I ordered the Ox Tail and the meat fell right off the bone, delicious!!! Great portion sizes and the owner was an absolute delight! I wish I could give this review more stars!
I love it here!! The staff is so nice and every single food item we had was AMAZING!! Definitely will be back!!
Fantastic! Trini approved! Brought my mom up from Florida and she absolutely loved it. Best doubles you can get in the state. The buss up shut stew chicken is incredible! If you haven’t already try the mango chow
Small quaint place very clean the owner came out and greeted us us. I'm from the New York-New Jersey area there are plenty of Caribbean restaurants there I have eaten in my share of them. My wife had curry chicken, I had the curry goat. Very flavorful and tender. The sides were delicious also. In short if you're looking for a nice Caribbean restaurant with good food a warm friendly staff. Then maybe you should try this place.
Best experience! We had no idea what we were getting into as this was the first time we tried carribean food but the owner treated us very kindly. She took time to explain the menu and even provided us samples. We really enjoyed eating here, the goat meat was amazing. We had to take the peanut butter drink to go after we enjoyed the first one so much. Would definitely make sure to stop here again if we make our way into Delaware!
Trini Quizeen brings the Caribbean to Dover and allows you to experience the delicious food and culture of Trinidad. The food is ALWAYS so good and the service is awesome! A large platter is enough to share for two, but I prefer to have my own If we're in the area and want to grab a bite, we always stop by Trini Quizeen.
This food is so damn good! They just made a loyal customer for life! I cannot eat salty food and I didn’t even have to tell them to cut back. They put so much meat on the tray! I highly recommend the curry chicken! I ordered my food and came back to get it 15 minutes later and it was hot and ready to eat! One of the ladies gave me a pepper blend and it took the taste to a whole another level! No doubt it’s a in house family recipe! Well done! I cannot wait to go back and try their curry goat!
