The owner and chef of the former food truck, Shirley's Trini Cuisine has opened a brick and mortar across the street from where the truck was located and also across the street from my house. Yay!! Chef Janelle Romeo is bringing all of her flavors from Trini to Twin Isle for a full-fledge Caribbean experience. Woo-wee am I lucky to be so close to this incredible restaurant. The menu offers meals from family-style to building your own bowls and more. Jerk chicken, Trinidad street food, and so on. The chickpea baras are to die for-fluffy fried bread with sauces, chickpeas, chutney, and herbs. We were lucky enough to stroll by the soft opening and get a taste of the goodness. It's an absolute elevation of the already amazing food that was coming out of the food truck. Can I eat here everyday? Yes, please! Grand opening is 9/1/25.
