theres a small roti shop at the bottom of majuba crossroads ,try it ,real homemade type stuff and really tasty
You have not had quality roti & curry if u haven’t had a Hosein’s roti!!!! Def my #1 pick for “A” class roti!
Mona’s is the best, wings falling off bad.
Then you need to try Richard’s in 2001 Plaza Chaguanas and Sunil’s in La Romaine, the building after Sarge’s grocery at the corner of Pond Street and Southern main Road in La Romaine… …………..from a
Roti freak
Does any in the East-West area have more veggie variety than just the same potato channa you could get at any roti shop?
Sherrys in Barataria is the BOOM! and its $20. Cah get better dan dat
Sylvie’s to me is one of the best roti shops around but because their between Ali’s an Patraj they always get outshine, thanks for mentioning them!
Ali’s and Patraj just have name but the true taste and flavor u will get it at sylvie’s roti shop …….
how come nobody mentioned ali’s roti in el socorro san juan? best for days! patraj and hot shoppe have NOTHING on them!
So hows about in South
-Ali’s on Hubert Rance Street? Been there forever and always have a crowd
-Amin’s on Cipero Street, they have variety…but go for roti around 10 a.m. (5 mins later and the place have more people than RBL on month end)
R AND R in chagaunas cud take a mention…..and i agree with Hot Roti (Roti Hut) on corner of Evans and Lyndon Street – Curepe
Thanks Damien for the roti tips! We’re looking forward to trying the places you’ve recommended.
You might want to try the roti from Earth Restaurant (next to Marios on Ciprani Blvd) on a Wednesday. It was excellent and impressive for a north roti. The dhalprui was silky and tasty.
Thank you Glenn, we’ll add to our list to try!
Loving the “impressive for a north roti” bit
lovie’s in Tunapuna has really good roti.
Thanks Hannah for the Lovie’s tip.
Where is Lovie’s? I live in Tunapuna but never heard of it.
Think it’s on Tumpuna Rd.
Don’t laugh at my directions, but there’s a lil red shop opposite the triangle church just before the iron bridge when heading from Piarco to St. Helena run by a lady and her husband. The roti is made when you order it so it’s guaranteed hot and fresh. Yummiest roti I have had in a long while. Best part is, it’s a nomal sized roti but not heavy heavy, so no itis after!
Thanks Davanie, we’re looking forward to trying this lady’s roti!
Best Roti is Ali’s on Western Main Road St. James everybody rate up Hott Shoppe but that’s just a water down curry and u have to wait too long for Roti
Agreed! Hott shoppe has nothing on Ali’s roti shop st James.
S&D should be Les Efforts West.
Thanks Steve, we’ll update it.
I tried Hott Shoppe (St. James) and it was very good fresh.
Glad to hear you enjoyed Hott Shoppe, Patricia!
