Aloo Pie!
Trini Street Food Classic.
Golden, crispy fried dough stuffed with Seasoned Aloo (Potato, Shadow Beni, Green Seasoning, Garlic & Roasted Geera & other spices).

Crispy on the outside, soft and flavorful on the inside.

Best enjoyed hot with our In-House sauces 🔥 and a pinch of Kutchela - Pictured

Made fresh to order, so good things might take a little time.
