I hope everyone comes here. This place feels so much like my mother's kitchen. It feels like there's so much love and care taken in comparison of the food. The buss up shut is perfect. The doubles. Excellent texture the sauce. Everything delicious. I also had the goat which was falling off the bone. Delicious. The dahl oh my gosh the roasted garlic alone come through suburb. This place is a 10 out of 10. The pumpkin everything was so good. This will be the only place I eat whenever I come to pompano Beach again. I'm so glad I was influenced by the IG to come here.

Beautiful and clean restaurant. Service excellent. Doubles so fresh. Curry chicken, pumpkin, and rice (not a fan of, but passable) Altogether, experience was great.

Elvin Villalobos

Tobanka in North Lauderdale was perfect for Boss’s Day with 3 friends! The food was absolutely amazing, bursting with vibrant flavors. The atmosphere was cozy and authentic, with warm service and genuine cultural vibes. A must-visit gem for a delicious, memorable meal! Should have taken the before picture. I am ready for a nap lol

Jade Kinckiner

Always such a great time when I take my family and friends! The food is so fresh and the ladies are always so sweet and welcoming! My mom’s from Trinidad and she said it reminds her of her own mom’s cooking!

The doubles here is piping hot, tasty and transports you back to Trinidad. It’s as if you’ve having a doubles at the side of the road or something. And….the aloo pies are just as good. I got a curry goat special with paratha to go and sat down for their daily lunch which consisted of white rice, callaloo (which didn’t taste anything like how it’s made in the islands… a huge disappointment ) and stew chicken. This restaurant is beautiful inside, very dark, but cozy and has amazing staff. They are well stocked with drinks, candy and preserves from the Caribbean. My only regret is that I didn’t order a bake and shark… next time for sure…lol
