Description

There's a line out the door at this popular roti shack, where the marquee invites "Hurry, Hurry, Come for Curry." Of the rotis, our fave is conch-a plenitude of tender gastropod vying with potato for domination of the brown, thyme-inflected gravy. Or pick from curries of shrimp, goat, oxtail, and beef, any of which can also be poured over peas and rice. A particular favorite is the vegetarian corn chowder, mobbed with okra, taro, carrots, and microdumplings, and thickened Chinese style with cornstarch. Note that the sweet and frothy peanut punch is much better as a dessert.

  • 2002 | Best Trinidadian Goat Roti

    A dozen blocks north of St. John's, find ALI'S TRINIDAD ROTI SHOP, decorated with a sign that intones: "Hurry, Hurry, Come for Curry," and purveying the city's best goat roti, crammed with strongly flavored meat and lubricated with a thyme-inflected gravy. Wash it down with the frothy peanut punch. The shrimp and conch rotis are also fab. More »
