The doubles here are so good. I actually ate it so fast and I forgot to take a picture or a video lol! They do have other things to buy like I love the scotch bonnet pepper sauce and the Bigfoot. It reminds me of Jamaica. I’ll be back there and I’ll add more content.

Peace! It’s Antar! The customer service at this restaurant was incredible! They family who owns the restaurant was poised and patient in explaining all the different cuisine options, this was my first time ordering Trini food at an authentic Trini restaurant. I met a super considerate brother named Michael, he was a great brother… he’s a friend of the owners! Wha’Gwan Mikey mi Bwoy, big up unna’self and keep shining yuh light mi Genna Genna!!! The Shrimp doubles were delicious and I also loved their chicken soup (it remind me of a tasty clam chowder soup)! Overall…this restaurant is worth a visit… it’s a neighborhood gem and I mean it when I say I will be back this upcoming Summer or Fall of ‘26! peace&blessings, J. Antar

The doubles were amazing, freshly made to order with soft, fluffy bara and perfectly seasoned channa. The tamarind, pepper, and cucumber sauces were on point and balanced just right. You can tell everything is made with care and real Trini flavor. The owner is super friendly and welcoming, happy to chat and make recommendations, which really adds to the experience. This spot feels like a little piece of Trinidad. Definitely a must-visit if you love authentic doubles.

★★★★★ 5.0 Jonathan Shiwprashad · Jan 2026

I come here often for food. Always fresh and tasty. Recently came for the chicken curry and Roti (buss up) and it was the best I had in a while. Will be coming again. Doubles is authentic as well. Customer service is also top notch. I highly recommend to try them out!

A Decent Doubles Spot! Salim's is a small, cozy spot that offers a glimpse into Caribbean flavors. I visited last weekend to try their doubles and found the overall experience to be a solid 4 out of 5 stars. The atmosphere is laid-back, with a few basic Caribbean snacks and drinks available, and some seating for those waiting for their orders. I was particularly impressed by how clean the kitchen area appeared – a definite plus! Now, onto the star of the show: the doubles. I'd rate them a 3.5 out of 5 for taste. They were good, but didn't quite hit that spot. I'll try a different combination next time. My visit wasn't entirely seamless, though. After placing my order, there was a bit of a mix-up, and someone else had to retake it and prepare it. This wasn't a huge deal, but it did add
