About Us
At Salim’s Hot and Tasty, every bite tells a story—one rooted in tradition, family, and authentic Trinidadian flavor.
Over 40 years ago, in the vibrant streets of Chaguanas, Trinidad, Waheeda and Zalim Salim began their journey as humble street vendors, serving freshly made doubles to their community. From early mornings to late evenings, their dedication, passion, and signature recipe earned them a loyal following. Their doubles weren’t just food—they were comfort, culture, and connection.
Residing in the small village of Peter’s Field, Chaguanas, Waheeda and Zalim built more than a business—they created a legacy.
That legacy lives on through their daughter, Salaisha, who proudly carries forward the family tradition. With the same authentic recipe and time-honored techniques, she continues to bring the true taste of Trinidad to a new generation.
Today, Salim’s Hot and Tasty stands as a bridge between past and present—serving dishes inspired by home-style cooking, rich Caribbean heritage, and the same love that started it all.
From the streets of Trinidad to the heart of New Jersey, we remain committed to one mission:
Authentic Trini flavor, made with tradition, served with pride.

"The doubles were amazing, freshly made to order with soft, fluffy bara and perfectly seasoned channa. The tamarind, pepper, and cucumber sauces were on point and balanced just right. You can tell everything is made with care and real Trini flavor. The owner is super friendly and welcoming, happy to chat and make recommendations, which really adds to the experience. This spot feels like a little piece of Trinidad. Definitely a must-visit if you love authentic doubles."

"Had their doubles and beef pie- both were amazing.
Esp the beef pie! Well seasoned ground beef and fried to perfection! And if the food didn’t remind me of home, the atmosphere certainly did! The owner was friendly and kind, soca music played in the background and on the wall there was a picture of an old school parlor (all Caribbean people will know what I’m speaking about) that took me straight back to my childhood. I will definitely recommend and I certainly will be back! Simple the best doubles in Jersey."
"I stumbled across Salim’s hot and tasty while looking for doubles on Uber Eats, and boy am I glad I did! I ordered doubles, chicken roti and pholourie and some snacks. As soon as my order arrived I was blown away by the portion sizes. Everything was well packaged. The doubles were hands down the best I had. The curry chicken and roti was fresh and tasty. This is now my go to for Trinidadian food without a doubt. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Oh and l can’t forget to mention the pepper sauce 🔥🌶️ amazing"

"This place is family oriented, its community, it's a blessing, and more importantly, it's legendary. The hospitality, love, patience, and all thee above all while grabbing some good Grub, doubles, and just island fun. One word, SPECTACULAR! Blessings to Salim's Hot and Tasty. It was that and so much more. I forewarn that the popularity, taste, and overall esthetics of what the taste and experience brings means popular items may go faster, but the great thing is, they're here and there will be here, so join in, and get what you can while supplies last. Thank you Salim's and family."

"Bought doubles and a curry chicken wrap roti and this was ones of the best tasting wrap rotis I've had in awhile. The curry itself and the inside condiments were flavorful and very tasty. The doubles as well was very good. Only tried these 2 items but I'm sure the rest of the menu items are just as delicious. Would definitely recommend and would be going back."
