I can't believe I just discovered this hidden gem a few months ago. The atmosphere at Lena's Roti is fantastic. On our first visit, my friend and I had an absolutely delightful experience. Lena, with her warm personality, made our first outing unforgettable. I highly recommend Lena's to everyone!

When I tried to pick it up, it fell apart in my hand and ended up at the bottom of the bag. The doubles were just as bad—really unappetizing. I ended up throwing it away and have no intention of returning.

When I got to the counter and told the staff my name, he checked my order before I paid, and it was still wrong! When I pointed out the mistake, he got upset, and it seemed like they had to make my actual order from scratch because I ended up waiting quite a while. Eventually, he came out with my food in one bag, which was supposed to contain ten doubles and three chicken rotis. Once I got to my car, I thought I’d double-check the doubles, and to my surprise, there were only eight! So, I went back inside to inform him about the missing items. He rolled his eyes and quickly retrieved the other two doubles without any questions. It's frustrating to overspend $74.00 on an order and not get what you paid for. This place is usually my favorite spot for Trinidadian food, but the service I received from that staff member was absolutely awful!

I got the dark chicken dhalpuri roti, it was huge and very cost effective. I would recommend the small size if you’re not super hungry. The roti was juicy and had a great texture. The medium spice is not spicy at all tho, which was very surprising for a trini restaurant… I think they should turn up the spice OR get ur roti spicy if u want a kick (but I doubt it’d be seriously spicy still). They sell pepper sauce and it’s quite nice. I would return!

I’ve tried both chicken and shrimp and they’re fabulous. I would absolutely recommend this place with the small suggestion for you to order ahead, if you can. Wait times can be a bit long.
