Ive been here about 4 times & I really want to like this place, especially being one of the only Trini spots in the BX but the food could be better. The staff are really sweet people but the food always needs more seasoning. Not enough salt, curry, etc & the food is overpriced. To the owner: Now you know if you were in Brooklyn/Queens, you wouldve been SHUTDOWN a long time ago & the only reason youre still surviving is bc Trini food is scarce in the Bronx. You really should be ashamed of urselves for tastless curry chicken roti. Ive given this place enough chances. Its exceeded its chances. People who come here(especially West Indians) will be highly dissaponted.

I am a Trini Abroad and Jenny’s was recommended to me. I bought doubles and phulorie for an event and was satisfied with both the customer service and food. My platters were a hit. Jenny’s made a wicked tamarind sauce that was nostalgic and a cucumber pepper that was unique and delicious. This was worth the commute. I met the owner, Jenny, who is onsite, and she was very warm and personable. I took a note of the menu and was told that I can call ahead to order. This is good because it means I am guaranteed fresh food that is hot with less wait time. I am definitely returning and would recommend this local Trini Caribbean spot to others.

The food is horrible here. It is all tasteless and gross. They cannot make doubles or pholourie to save their lives. They change employees regularly, this accounts for the different reviews. Their curries are tasteless too. In addition, The people who will buy from this place are definitely not Trinidadians. This area has a big Guyanese population. So there you go that’s your answer for the mixed reviews. Lol

My husband and I visited Jenny’s Roti shop on a whim, but were pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere was nice and the owner and his wife were pleasant, conversational, and extremely accommodating. I got the chicken roti and my husband, after tasting it, decided to get the stewed chicken roti. We also purchased an order of curry goat roti to go for my dad in NJ(aka«the food critic extraordinaire») who also reported that everything was delicious. Everything was seasoned to perfection… simply delicious… and we will definitely go back to patronize Jennys the next time we are in the area.

I gave this place a try even though there were many lukewarm reviews, big mistake! I got the oxtail with rice and peas and chicken roti. The oxtail was flavorless and rice was undercooked. The roti was actually pretty good but the chicken was also flavorless. You better off going to Golden Krust.

The service was quick, the food was good and the place was clean. I had the Shrimp Roti meal and I loved it. Very good food.

Went here a few weeks ago to get some roti. Ended up getting a few doubles, roti and a beef patty at the behest of the reviews. Needless to say I was very disappointed with the doubles, the Chana curry was bland needed salt and the double itself was dripping with oil. The beef patti was pedestrian at best and was nothing special. The roti was the saving grace to say the least, very soft and flaky. Was simply delicious and was very good with some homemade chicken curry. It was even good a few days later after being stored in the fridge.

So I decided to try the food even though I was reluctant to based on the negative review. I had a chicken and a beef roti, I did indeed enjoyed it. The staff was very friendly and nice. I will be back for sure.

I gave one because the girl serving the food was cool… The food sucked. It wasn’t hot, it had NO flavor and the only real seasoning was spice. Wow. I’ll stick to Jamaican restaurants, like Kaylah’s Hut. I wasted $ 18 for crap food. Never again.

Great food and great owner tuned into their customers. This is the best trini spot in the Bronx.

Have been meaning to go here for months, everytime I get off the subway to go home though, I’m always forgetting to… until this week… and it was soooooooo amazing. I’m vegetarian and there were so many delicious choices for meee. The owner is super cool, he’s from Trinidad but he told me a lot of Hindu people stop by so he always has veggie options. The food is hot and spiced so nicely, I can’t wait to go back. The best was definitely the channa in roti… if you go there, the is a MUST. However I feel the later you go in the day, the less options there are because it seems to be really popular. Go!

Amazing fresh west Indian food. Everything there is good and inexpensive. The owners are a really nice family who make everything fresh daily. My favorite thing from there is the Chinese barbeque chicken. But they only make it on Fridays.
