The Best Trinidadian Restaurants In Miami

"Unlike everywhere else on this guide, Sweet Hand Kathy’s is not a reliable stop for roti. They don’t always have it available. Instead, what you’ll find here is a steam counter full of slowly stewed meats that are waiting for the gentlest little nudge to fall off the bone. The daily menu changes often, but if the stewed chicken is available, get it. For a side, go for a slab of Kathy’s macaroni pie, which is cut into squares like a sheet cake. The doubles are also outstanding, with fluffy bara and channa with a perfect hint of sweetness. Sweet Hand Kathy’s is also part bakery, so walk out with a currant roll if you want something to snack on later.  " - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo

We came to Kathy's for their doubles, but we were convinced to try more of their food. We had the pork and the stew fish with cou cou and callaloo, and of course, I had to try their pepper on the side. Everything had great flavor and the pepper on the side had the perfect kick and great taste. We wil definitely be back. Its great to find a real, authentic Trini restaurant!!!

“Hooked at First Bite & Dynamite”❣️ Is how I can best describe My Experience after I initially became both a repetitive customer & a lover of Sweet Hand Kathy’s Restaurant & Bakery /R&B! With the Highest Vibration from Above, I quickly & gratefully discovered that Kathy simply cooks & caters w/ Love❣️ That was nearly 2 decades ago. Prior to that, I had never tasted authentic Trinidad 🇹🇹 “Trini” Food before. Therefore, I was skeptical. But Kathy majestically blends her own unique flavors & spices so magnetically, that has consistently kept Me & My Family coming back for more! Being the indubitable Healthy Plantbased Customer, that I Am, who chooses wisely, intentionally & uncompromisingly, with NO MSG, when it comes to living, maintaining & sustaining a Healthy Wealthy Delicious Nutritious Livet Lifestyle, Kathy understands. She meets my needs & win-win demands, based upon her wide variety of plantbased meal options with more bang for the buck. More than satisfactorily. She is also a high standards member of The Live Healthy Miami Gardens Restaurants & Bakeries Team. My Top 3 Favorites include Her Delicious & Nutritious: 1) Chic Peas/Garbonzoes “Daily Doubles” w/her special spicy or mild tangy Tamarind Sauce, 2) Fried Collaloo w/Fresh Garlic & 3) Fresh Baked “Bake & Shark Fish” Sandwich loaded w/romaine lettuce, onions, tomatoes, pineapple, creamy sauce & coleslaw😋😋😋 Kathy & her personnel consistently “Go Extra Miles” to provide a clean lovely & friendly ambiance with professionalism, reasonably priced ample food & “Service w/Smiles & High Vibes”❣️ With pride & joy, on numerous special occasions, Kathy has pleasingly & exceedingly met My Catering Needs, large & small, servicing 25, 50, 250+ Guests “with a ball”! Additionally, I 🫶🏾 & appreciate the fact that she fulfills her mission statement of “Without You, There Would Be No Me”! By giving back to the community via her annual “Customer Appreciation Day” with 🆓 Meals to All❣️ As a result, I have referred & treated many families, friends, colleagues & strangers to Sweet Hand Kathy’s R&B! Many of whom have also become “Hooked”❣️

So grateful to finally have taste of home again. I had the callalloo w/ stew pork,they also have stew chicken and king fish. Sunday lunch came with macaroni pie and stew peas. I was amazed by all the flavors. Portions are generous and the owners of the restaurant are friendly and kind. Thank you guys for being here. This place is a true gem!

Let me tell you, this was some really great Trini food. I had a spinach rice with baked Mac and cheese with curry chicken. The restaurant had just opened so there wasn't much ready, I asked if she had any vegetables and she said no, but 1 minute later I heard and saw her cutting up some fresh produce in the back and she was making me a salad with avocado and cucumbers. Very thoughtful. And all of that for $12. Can't beat it

The service is horrible. Ordered a soup and waited 30 minutes and still didn't get the soup. Random customers just walking in and out of the back. I ended leaving without any food due to lack of service.

Got a combo platter of fried fish with sauce, rice and vegetables. Very tasty and while spicy, the spice didn't overpower the flavor of the food. I also had the cream soda, which was very sweet and provided nice balance with the spicy food. I would definitely come back and try it again.

The food is fresh and delicious. Well made and abundant with love. You will enjoy your meal hear. The staff at the restaurant is very kind and we have no words for their generosity. Thank you for your help and support to our family during some of the world's most critical times. They did not ask us for any reviews but this is the least we can do to show our appreciation for your unfailing love through our hardships. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you May God bless your kindness.

I ordered 2 dozen beef pastelles, and they were awful. I have ordered in the past, when she was working from home and they were great. This time they lacked flavor and filling. It was all cornmeal with a teaspoonful of meat in the center. Ground meat is the cheapest meat you could buy, if cost is a factor, well raise your prices! People will still buy. Pastelles are not an easy thing to make, so you will find people will pay to have that piece of Christmas element. Another thing, train your staff to make the pastelles, it should not be all cornmeal, the meat should be distributed throughout the pastelles. Kathy, I am not the only one complaining, I just happen to be the only Yelper. Please fix this problem for 2018 Christmas. You have a good thing going, and we appreciate your Trini hand.

I discovered this little gem of Trini food today, and I am so happy to report that the food was great! Large portions and very flavorful, took me right back home! My only regret is not everything was available from the bakery, but I will be back for hops bread and sweet bread soon!!

I just relocated from NYC to Miami (aventura) and being that I was off from work I decided to look up if any trini spots close by. Sweet hand Kathy among others came up but decided to go with this one. Fortunately for me I went when they were giving free food which I felt so happy seeing I work in the ER and they were giving back given the pandemic. I was so happy I wanted to tell the owner I'm guessing her name is Kathy a face to face thanks. The food was sooooo good. Authentic trini food. Because of such a good experience and great food I am a customer for life. Thank you for appreciating my service and thank u for that tasty food.

Yes mon! Its sooooo good! Fresh authentic home Caribbean cooking!!! Fresh hops, sweet, breads, ginger beer, ting, as well as all the dishes we love!

The food is pretty good however whenever I went Kathy would never have the prices listed and would charge $15 and up for a regular plate of food. Not to mention her ATTITUDE stinks. Also, watch out during the holidays she will start adding on all these extra charges so pay attention. Other than that her black cake is delicious. Attitude is important to ME!

I've known Kathy's food for many years as a event caterer and lunch box caterer. Now she has a restaurant that exceeds the standards of restaurant quality! It's real down home cooking from the Caribbean. Come and enjoy and become a fan also!

The best the best Doubles in south Florida in fact in USA, Trni you have competition I do not have to go Trinidad and act crazy for Doubles go see for your self promised me to go taste....

Used to get food from her when she would cook from home and it was really good. Now, the food sits, she gives little portions and charges you an arm & a leg. Wasn't expecting that since we're loyal customers. My last time going there was when she had the nerve to give me an attitude. I returned home with my salt fish and bake and it was only a spoonful in there. I guess she added big tomatoes and onions to replace the fish cause it was nothing in there. Like come on now.

Just ok. Prepared foods sitting under aluminum covers then reheated. Not cheap either. The selections were meats and starch no vegetables the day I went.

Went to Kathy's for lunch , the food was very authentic and reminded me of home (Trinidad). What I love about this place is she cooks real creole Trinidadian food. Most Trinidadian restaurants limit themselves to Roti and Chinese but her menu consists of coo coo, callaloo , stew fish and a variety of creole options. Kathy is very friendly and her prices are reasonable. She also has fresh juices.

Authentic dishes but too much sugar added to each item. Got to stop adding sugar to the dishes. Drop the extra sugar and everything will be good.
