I’ve tried 3 different biryanis at the Trini-Pak cart so far: chicken, goat and mutton. I wasn’t that thrilled with the goat, mainly because the meat was still on the bone and overly chewy. The chicken was better but the mutton is really amazing! Tender pieces of slightly gamey lamb and intensely flavorful rice with the perfect amount of spicy heat. I recommend skipping both sauces with this. I love that tamarind hot sauce but it tends to overwhelm the more delicate biryani spices.

You were right about the doubles. Never imagined I could get a decent lunch for $1.50. Too bad I can’t eat them every day though. Pretty greasy stuff.

What? Did you say doubles???? When??? I am there. But anyone who likes doubles knows that anyone who sells doubles are always sold out of doubles.

Roti is also cooked on a dry hot surface (at home cast iron pan). The bread they use with doubles is called Bara, it has yeast and spices inside the bread itself, and is fried in oil.

I’ve heard in some previous mentions of this cart of the bathroom trouble it can cause. Anyone know if this is still true? And what makes it more so than any other cart?
