    Long over due review. I had the pleasure of visiting for my birthday 2020. It was nothing short of perfection! From my arrival to departure, the service was outstanding. Even tho we had to observe Covid protocols, it was a pleasant experience. The drinks were well mixed and flavorful. The food's presentation was spectacular as I didn't expect my meal to be served as fancy as it was served. The taste was on point with its authenticity. I was serenaded by the sounds of soothing piano music in an already peaceful environment. This restaurant has made it to my list of favorite restaurants. I highly recommend this restaurant for their authenticity in their dishes.

    Absolutely loved this place. Great service. Food was beyond amazing… Some of the best food I’ve ever eaten. The freshly made juices were refreshing and the gelato ice cream was so good. Highly recommend the House Vindaloo, chili garlic naan and the Trini cocoa gelato. They were a bit pricey but trust me it’s worth it. After eating from The Meena House, Mee-na eating authentic Indian food anywhere else again 🤣 10/10 recommend 🥇

    We decided to try The Meena House for dinner. The service was excellent, from the time we arrived and was parking our car, our server was, gracious, attentive and prompt. The food was excellent, the plating was exceptional and Umesh stopped by to check on us It’s great to have another fine dining restaurant. We will definitely be back.

    The only word that can describe here is exceptional. The Food is simply amazing, especially for vegetarians. The decor and ambiance is exquisite. But the service is second to none. From the moment you step walk in to the second you leave the staff makes you feel welcome and comfortable. I will definitely be going back regularly.

    Every aspect of this restaurant was top notch. It was excellent! Excellent ambiance, excellent food options and flavours, excellent presentation and the customer service is almost unparalleled in TnT, it meets international standards. This restaurant is a fine dining experience and they mean it! Fortunately you can still have fun eating with your hands by virtue of the nature of the cuisine. I will forever recommend this restaurant, the chefs were basically showing off their skills. It's expensive and worth every cent! I had a wonderful time, we went to celebrate an anniversary and got complementary deserts, which was really appreciated.

    Classy and unpretentious. The way welcome, understated service and decor are the perfect canvas for food, all artistically presented and perfectly prepared. Security escort to your car after dining is a thoughtful extra and was appreciated.

    Called to place an order, but unfortunately, there seemed to be an issue with the lines. Decided to make my order in person as I was greeted by the attendant at the front desk, and the order took roughly 10 minutes. The presentation is beautiful, as shown in the pictures, and the cost was $118. You are able to choose various dishes, and they are portioned in a sturdy container and covered, which kept the temperature well for the ride home (roughly 45-minute drive). Will return for an in-house dining experience.

    I had a wonderful experience at their afternoon tea. The tea service was exceptional, every item was delicious and surprisingly filling. The atmosphere/decor inside was beautiful and the service was very attentive. I'm looking forward to doing it again soon. Definitely recommend!

    Are you ready for the best authentic Indian food you've ever had (in the Caribbean at least)? Well, welcome to Meena House! Upon entering the humble foyer, you'll be warmly greeted by your helpful server who will take you on a culinary journey, guiding you through the ins and outs of a richly complex menu. We paired our delicious cuisine with an appropriate wine recommended by the waiter. Although the initial ambiance was rather quiet, live music from local legend Nigel Rojas started at 7pm (check availability). In terms of the menu, you must try the chicken tikka 3-ways, the butter chicken, and the gulab jamoon cheesecake. Their tandoor chicken just melts in the mouth. Don't worry if you order too much - you'll love the takeaway containers. What are you waiting for? Go book your reservation now!

    AUTHENTIC, CREATIVE AND DELICIOUS. Simply put. I ordered Biryani through a food delivery app and I was super shocked when I got my food in its clay pot! It was so awesome. Made with love and attention to detail for sure.

    ~5 Trip Advisor rated restaurant. Exquisite dining, superb service and delicious Indian cuisine. We had the tea service and a naan served like a pizza with parmesan and arugula. Very tasty food in a comfortable and elegant dining space.

    Beautiful restaurant with its antique decor. Very professional staff. Delicious foods. This was my first time dining here and I had the 11 course degustation. This way I got to taste a wide variety off the menu. Each dish was brought out in a timely manner. And the presentation was exceptional. You can tell that the chef put in a lot of care and effort in cooking and plating these dishes. Definitely did not disappoint. Wide myriad of unique flavors, not overpowering. I highly recommend this restaurant. Definitely a place to revisit. -very spacious and clean washrooms

    Staff was friendly and helpful, especially as a first time visitor and not being familiar with the menu. Great suggestions regarding dishes and desserts.

    Reservation process was thorough and efficient, service was top tier - shout out to Vinod who took wonderful care of my mum and I for her birthday! The complimentary welcome drink, amuse-bouche and cheese cake with birthday candle were lovely touches. Starters were absolutely fine dining quality (tandoori chicken 2 ways and tandoori paneer), sides were great (garlic naan and cassava fries). Mains were good (veggie briyani and chicken vindaloo) but I feel there were more impressive dishes we could have chosen. Definitely not the best vindaloo, very runny, though I feel the lamb might absorbed more than the chicken. Would go again to eat my way through the rest of the menu.

    What a hidden gem! This place is amazing! The service is impeccable. Everyone, from the valet attendant to the bartender to the waiter to the chef goes above and beyond…with a smile. The food is amazing. The drinks are imaginative, expressive and delicious. You can’t find them elsewhere. That passion fruit chutney is TO DIE FOR!

    Visited this wonderful and immersive restaurant that hosts a plethora of intricate flavors. Not only was the staff professional but the food was delivered in a reasonable amount of time. Everything ordered tasted superb and unique to other indian themed restaurants. This place definitely deserved it's Trip Advisor awards and I'll definitely always return.

    Visited while on a cruise. Fantastic. The food was excellent, as was the service, presentation, and decor. We had the Christmas prix fixe and were stuffed by the end. Paid a little under $200 USD total for two, took about 2 hours. 10 minute drive from the cruise terminal, maybe 15 with traffic. Our server was especially accommodating and efficient!

    Excellent menu, service and setting. The food was among the best Indian I’ve had and beautifully presented. There are Sula wines by the glass. Loved the experience and crave to return for more as the menu is quite extensive.

    Went for afternoon tea which starts at 2:30pm. They serve a choice of meat or vegetarian tea service, with an assortment of teas and coffees to choose from, as well as the option of adding bottle service. Plus a full cocktail menu as well. They offered a great mix of savoury and sweet items - mini chicken tikka tartlets, smoked salmon open faced sandwiches, mini falafel burgers, mixed nut tartlets, red velvet cupcakes, opera slices, chocolate mousse, and several other delicacies. Individually each item was bite sized or almost so, but the quantities served ensured you were adequately full by the end. Was a surprisingly delicious afternoon alongside great company. Would def return for tea here again.

    Food is excellent. Their lunch special is a great deal. Service is top notch. Located in what used to be a house, I love the ambiance and decor. Parking is available at the property next door which makes things so much easier as the street parking is difficult and the parking lot that was previously available is now private parking for American Airlines.

    One of the best fine dining experiences in Trinidad. Authentic Indian food is absolutely delicious. The desserts are really the winner. I gave the food four stars because the Naan was a but doughy/chewy: would have liked it thinner. The friendliness of the staff was a real winner. They are so helpful and inviting. I love the atmosphere. Drinks are well made with fresh fruit. You can also tell they use fresh, raw ingredients in their cooking. I will visit again.

    That cookie served during tea time is an absolutely decadent and delicious semi sweet dark chocolate! The massala chai was much less spiced than I expected, sadly, but I guess it would be more palatable for the majority of customers.

  • 5/5 SOOKRANI B. 2 years ago on Google
    The Meena House has a great atmosphere. The customer service is awesome. It is my absolute favorite restaurant in Trinidad while visiting from the U.S.A. I was delighted with the Paneer Butter Masala Thali Tray. The chocolate brownie is my favorite. Its was moist and rich with complex flavor. It was sinfully delicious. Over all the food was appetizing and flavorful. Texture, presentation and aroma was amazing. I recommend this place to every one living or visiting Trinidad.
