D Coal Pot

Food full of flavor and soul. Not over powering but warming spices. Can't beat the deal for doubles. I love the goat curry and all the sides. Stir fried cabbage, mashed pumpkin, potatoes, chickpeas. My favorite place to eat in Hyde Park

The minute I entered their restaurant, Dev/Dave (pardon me) and Asif were very friendly. I told them it was my first time at the restaurant and asked what each of the dishes were. Dave had such a warm demeanor and talked about all the dishes with passion. I asked him to tell me about the dishes but he gave me a bite of everything to try before buying. Doubles - 5* Dal - 5* Potato curry - 5* Polourie - 5* Callaloo - 4* Flaky roti - 4* Stew & curry chicken - 3.5* I bought doubles, potato curry, curry & stew chicken, Calalou, flaky roti & polourie. Doubles was amazing, so was the potato curry. Polourie is a fried dough ball topped with tamarind chutney, spicy sauce w/scorpion pepper(I think) and cucumber. That was great! I'll be back to try some of their goat & fish dishes.

Ordered two Roti's Saturday and they were life changing. This place is an absolute gem. The food, service and atmosphere exceeded my expectations and I look forward to returning soon.

Searching for some quality West Indian food (roti or doubles), this is a great place to get your next meal. Service is pretty good, too.

I wish I took a picture of the food because it was absolutely delicious!! I walked in and told the owner (I’m assuming he’s the owner) Dave that it was my first time having trini food. He was so outgoing and gave me recommendations! I had the buss up roti which was unreal, so fresh, soft and doughy! I got a potato pie with scorpion habanero hot sauce in it, which him and another patron forewarned me would be spicy. I loved it (wouldn’t get it if you’re sensitive to heat)! The filling was perfect and the dough around the pie was pillowy yet crisp in all the right places. Lastly I got the roti chicken which came with potato and chickpea (I think it was in a curry sauce) and pumpkin. It was FANTASTIC! I’m not usually into sweet stuff but the pumpkin blew my mind. Definitely going back. Dave was incredibly friendly and helpful and you can tell he puts a lot of effort into maintaining the place and the upkeep. The outside is cute with lots of plants and signs, like a rainbow garden 😍 Much love!!! Tori

there are so many things I could say about d coal pot, amazing . the first thing that comes to mind the authenticity of the food brings you straight back to the islands I'm happy we found this place we were looking for a place like this for a long time...

Came here today. The food was not displayed in an appetizing way. They didn't have curry shrimp or aloo pie on a Saturday at 2 pm. Kind of unheard of for a trini roti shop. Prices were not displayed. Bought 3 doubles. Definitely the worst doubles I ever had, as it had no flavor. The channa was hard. $3 for one doubles was extremely pricey, especially considering the quality. I took a look at the chicken curry and it looked thin and watered down so I didn't bother to buy anything else.

Good Trini food, in a small setup. This is a takeout style restaurant. Updated 4/24/2024 Food is worth the wait!
