Came here with my in-laws from England to try some trini food. Everything was amazing! From the pholourie, doubles, aloo pie, chicken/beef/veggie roti - the food was fresh and seasoned great. The owner was super nice and friendly. I took some home for my husband and he was very impressed. Will be back!

The food was great. I tried the veggie roti, the spinach was delicious, and I spinach. The channa an aloo was cooked seperately but as individuals it was to die for it took me back down memory lane especially the aloo. The pumpkin was also a hit! The roti was a bit too oily personally, but it definitely didn't disappoint. The doubles were amazing. I noticed a lot of customers were buying them, so you know it's a hit! Their menu is simple, and you will most likely find something to eat. The atmosphere was pleasing to an old soul like me. This place is really true to the culture, and I say don't remodel or change anything it's amazing the way it is!Be back soon!! I must try their Sunday menu.

The chicken roti was absolutely to die for, and the lunch specials are incredibly tasty! I highly recommend trying something new from the menu each time you visit – you won’t be disappointed.

The best Roti and Doubles spot in South Florida right under my nose and I never knew. Everything is fresh, seasoned perfectly and not oily or salty. The service is great and the wait is never too long. Tons and tons of free parking in front. Note they are closed on Mondays. Dine in or take out. Cheers to another fabulous eatery! We’ll be back

This place is one of the best Roti shops in South Florida, hands down. We tried this place, and though we arrived a little late and close to the closing time, the staff was very accommodating. They made sure we had everything that we wanted, and even made some of the items fresh for us. We will return.
