D Doubles Guy — Restaurant in East Orange

I was seriously craving some good Caribbean food, and after searching Google on a Sunday (when most places were closed), I found D-Doubles Guy was still open. My boyfriend and I had 30 minutes to get there, so we trekked through the 90° heat on foot—yes, we walked 30 minutes in the sun just for some doubles!

We made it with five minutes to spare before closing, and the moment we stepped in, we were met with nothing but warmth. Chris, his wife, nephew, and two amazing girls welcomed us with open arms and huge smiles. They immediately asked where we came from—probably because we didn’t roll up in a car—and we told them we walked just for their food. Chris and his nephew said, “Nah, you have to try a doubles right here, right now.”

They brought one out fresh for me—and boy oh boy, I’m SO glad I ate it on the spot. It was HUGE, not overly oily, and the channa was cooked to perfection. After walking for that long, it was everything I needed and more.

I also ordered an aloo pie with shrimp, and Chris generously threw in a bunch of extra goodies. I grabbed a cold mauby that hit just right in the heat. And the best part? We stayed and chatted with them. We cracked jokes about Guyanese food vs. Trini food, talked about where to find good West Indian food in the area (I just moved here), and they gave me some great recommendations.

But what really made the visit unforgettable was how they made me feel. Chris and his family made me feel like I was their little cousin who came over for Sunday lunch. That sense of genuine hospitality is rare, especially these days. It didn’t feel like I was a customer—it felt like I was home.

And if that wasn’t enough, his nephew even gave us a ride halfway back! He would’ve taken us all the way, but we decided to walk the rest and burn off those delicious doubles before diving into the rest of our food.

Chris, thank you. To you and your whole family, thank you for the food, the vibes, the love, and the laughter. Everyone needs to experience this kind of magic.

When you're here, you definitely feel like family. Not like Olive Garden—but like the Trini uncle who still offering you roti after yuh just ate 3 doubles. Nah, this is real West Indian family energy. The kind where they feed you till your belly buss, then still ask if you want more, and pack a container to “carry a lil something home.” Chris and them treated us like we were long-lost cousins—asking if we alright, and cracking jokes that had us laughing like we were at a backyard lime—tell me that’s not real island...

This is a great food truck. Parking was ample. They have a good set up across the street or on the same road street parking.

The line was long you can tell it was good! We waited about 35 min to be served and then about 10-15 min for the food. Everything they make to order fresh. That’s what makes the wait worth it and we also got 8 doubles 4 aloo pies and 3 pepper roti so we ordered a lot.

Drinks are served in a cooler and they had a lot to go around. They take card cash Apple/ Android pay.

Tue shrimp aloo pie and the pepper roti are def me new go to at this spot!

I love that they do bake and salt fish I didn’t order that this time but that’s a classic in my household that I will be trying next time.

The spic level is custom to fit your taste. I highly recommend and will be visiting again. It’s a great lunch spot or even dinner. I wouldn’t say quick eats but def great prices and high...

Trini street food it’s a very authentic unique flavor not all can accomplish this mission , I have had doubles nationwide and no taste can compare to this the bara very thin yet super soft the Chana flavorful u can tell no added preservatives the condiments are on point spicy yet super flavorful and the best part it can be eaten straight out the fryer not a lot has that it’s a different taste to when a doubles is wrapped if I can travel 2 1/2 hrs to enjoy this doubles that alone can prove the flavor service and the ambience of it all I see myself making more frequent trips to enjoy authentic trini street foods 5...
