I ordered their chicken lunch special.
The chicken was delicious and falling off the bone. The plantine was good. The rice was okay.

I’d definitely try them again.

This is good accessible Trinidadian food. The bake and perch was really really good it made me miss trini garlic sauce😭 The doubles were not incredible but that’s a little bit trickier to get right.

Ordered the jerk chicken wing bowl it was EXTREMELY spicy to the point the roof of my mouth was raw for 5 days. I was not able to eat too much of anything. My nose ran profusely as I ate the chicken.

As a Trini myself, I am a bit disappointed, when I found out there was a Trinidadian restaurant open in Chicago I was so excited cause I miss my home food so much, ingredients to cook it here isn’t readily available, I’ve tried this restaurant 2 times, the first time I had their doubles , aloo pie and roti , and curry chicken, doubles was bland , also pie is definitely prepped in advance and microwaved, buss up shut was hard , curry chicken was ok , the second time I tried was tomato choka with sada roti, sada roti is like a pita bread but I got a piece of bake( fried dough) which was okay but I would’ve liked my sada roti, tomato chokha was decent and I also had jerk chicken with rice , I gave it three stars because of the chokha and jerk chicken which tasted decent.
This restaurant has so much potential but it’s lacking a lot of things , as one of the only Trinidadian restaurants out here u are so unique but the execution is not there , a little advice, if you could somehow get chadobeni to Chicago ( chadobeni is an herb) you can elevate your dishes to a whole other level and you should definitely go into making corn soup. (maggie seasoning is a must) and also stop microwaving your aloo pie to order , do it fresh same for the other stuff polorie and bara it makes a huge difference. I’m rooting for you cafe Trinidad, you have a lot of potential

I used to absolutely love Trinidadadian Food. When Cafe Trinidad was open, I was a regular - NO MORE!!!
The food we ordered from this location didn't have the subtle blending of spices I love. Each dish relied solely on peppers - heat - no other flavor. I was so disappointed!
This location is a kitchen for multiple restaurants so there is a very impersonal, almost a "you're bothering me by being here" atmosphere.

Picture it - this time last week, I'm driving through Binghamton, NY - middle of nowhere - and tried Trinidadian food for the first time. Was hooked. Got back to Chicago and found Cafe Trinidad To Go, thinking to myself "I live in Chicago, one of the best foodie towns in the world. I bet this is gong to be great!"

Wrong. So very, very wrong.

I ordered doubles - dry, bland, and flavorless. Needed a magnifying glass to find the mango chutney I'd asked for. Also ordered an aloo pie, and by the time I got halfway through and finally hit filling and not just empty dough it wasn't awful. But bites one through seven were just disappointing. Finally, had the veggie roti...are we afraid of flavor and spice? This was so sad to eat.

Won't be ordering from Cafe Trinidad To Go again. But if anyone wants to join me on my next venture out to Binghamton, let me know! There really is good Trinidadian food out there! Just not in Chicago, sadly...

Um zero out of 10 don’t recommend.

Disappointing. As one of the limited options in Chicago for cuisine from Trinidad, I was expecting much more.What I got tasted like microwave frozen dinner. There is nothing I could really recommend.

I just got a Uber eats order. It was the chicken curry roti wrap and it was delicious! And I also ordered some plantains. The plantains were sweet and delicious. I will definitely be ordering again ?

I love how authentic the food tastes! Really reminds me of my homeland, Grenada ?? ! I’ll give 5 stars when they add more than ONE scanty piece of goat in my doubles! I prefer if they cut up that ONE piece of goat into 3 pieces but one goat isn’t right! Do better! But other than that, you’ll not be disappointed! Very delicious food! I’ll always return! ?

Used to order often but they have raised the pricing but decreased the portions. I swear every time it’s less and less and the food has a reheated in the microwave taste. Disappointed won’t be going back.

Incredible food I now order weekly, my partner and I only order out once a week and I want nothing else. Chicken roti, doubles, plantains, jerk tacos, macaroni pie are just some of what we have order and everything is single thing has been spectacular. I could live on their doubles if I could I had to pick one thing to eat for the rest of my life. 5 stars would recommend and do!
