Trini Limers Crew would like to big up Diamond Systems and Supplies Limited for the upgrade in our Mobile and photography and Mobile Galore (Chungs Photography) for the protective cover on our lenses.

Ashoka was an Indian emperor of the Maurya Dynasty, ruling most of the Indian subcontinent from around 268 to 232 BCE. He is one of the most famous and influential rulers in Indian history, largely because of his dramatic transformation after the Kalinga War.

Originally, Ashoka was known for his military conquests and aggressive expansion, but after witnessing the immense suffering caused by the war in Kalinga (modern-day Odisha), he experienced a profound change of heart. He embraced Buddhism and adopted a policy of non-violence, tolerance, and compassion, promoting moral and ethical governance.

Ashoka’s reign is also noted for his efforts to spread Buddhist teachings (an off shoot of Hinduism (Sanatan Dharma) Same as Jesus Teachings) both within India and abroad, including sending missionaries to other parts of Asia. He is often remembered for his "Edicts of Ashoka," a series of inscriptions on rocks and pillars throughout his empire, which outlined his policies and principles, such as religious tolerance, welfare for the common people, and respect for all living beings.

Ashoka’s legacy is significant, as he played a key role in the spread of Buddhism and left a lasting impact on both Indian culture and the broader world. 


A Dhaba is a roadside restaurant or eatery, typically found in India, Pakistan, and other parts of South Asia. These establishments are often informal and serve a variety of local, homemade-style dishes, especially traditional Indian and Punjabi cuisine. Dhabas are popular for their casual, rustic atmosphere and are frequented by truck drivers, travelers, and locals alike.

While the quality and ambiance may vary, many dhabhas are known for their delicious, hearty meals at affordable prices. They typically offer a range of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, including staple foods like dal (lentils), roti (flatbread), paratha, curries, and biryani. Chai (tea) is also a common offering. Dhabas often specialize in comfort food, prepared with fresh ingredients and cooked in large quantities, making them a favorite for people seeking a satisfying meal on the go.

Some dhabhas are famous for their unique flavors or recipes, and they can be found near highways, on the outskirts of cities, or in smaller towns. Despite their humble setting, many have become iconic for their warmth and authenticity.

Ashoka Dhaba restaurants are located in mainly the Shopping Malls in Trinidad, we have not seen any in Tobago, let us know if there is one.


So Trini Limers Crew ventured out in a war torn land where there are daily deaths where after the Covid-19 Pandemic and now Common Cold (HMPV) virus to bring you this review. The war in Gaza has ceased for now.

Honestly all Trini Limers Crew agreed that for a Dhaba it is not cheap and cheerful it is over priced like the expensive cup of imported coffee that all Trinbagonians like to buy however the food is very tasty and well seasoned for the Trinidadian palate 
Asian cuisine is a vibrant tapestry of flavors, colors, and textures that dance across the palate. Imagine the rich umami depth of soy sauce mingling with the delicate sweetness of coconut milk, the aromatic punch of fresh herbs like cilantro and basil, and the perfect balance of salty, sour, sweet, and spicy all in one bite.
