"Queen Trini Lisa is our pick for the best casual lunch in New Orleans. If you’re around Mid-City, use their chickpea curry-loaded doubles box to fuel up for a day at the sculpture garden at the nearby New Orleans Museum of Art. It’s also completely worth it to go out of your way to try their smoky and slightly sweet BBQ jerk chicken. There are just a few tables, but it’s never super busy, so you can relax over a spicy lunch while soca plays from the speakers." - chelsea brasted, zella palmer, carlo mantuano, megan braden perry
"This eponymous island soul food restaurant from Queen Trini Lisa, a New Orleans chef from Trinidad, brought a friendly destination for doubles to Mid City in early 2022. Airy and vibrant, the corner restaurant offers a slew of Trinbagonian specialties, with the fish sandwich, oxtail soup, curry chicken, and Caribbean-style spinach all highlights. Try the doubles, of course — as Queen Trini Lisa says, “More doubles, less troubles!”" - Beth D’Addono
"The restaurant is open Tuesday through Saturday from noon to 8 p.m. " - Atlas Obscura
