Just came in recently to have some doubles which were heavenly. I didn't want mine to be spicy, but I tried my husband's and it was delicious with the cucumber relish and tamarind sauce. Next time, I'm getting spicy doubles. Ahhh when traveling so far, my hubby and I decided to make it worthwhile, so we also added a dahl puri (roti with peas) to our order. It comes with a side, and we opted on pumpkin. The lady who was working when we came in was super friendly and nice. She knew the names of regular customers and was accommodating to our needs. I would definitely come back.
Ima keep this one short and sweet cause I have places to go and people to do.
Anita's Roti Shop is clean and inviting. The Soca playing and the "A" grade on the glass helps if you're into that sort of thing or are as fastidious as I am. I wish y'all could smell how awesome it did as I walked in.
Orders of chicken bush-up-shut (dhalpuri roti), doubles (flat bread with chickpeas) and a currents roll were made.
The currents roll: I would like to pay them to take it back.
The doubles: Just like you'd get on a Saturday morning in San-Juan Market, East Trinidad! Absolutely divine! Bara and channa right consistency both!
Now as much as I ain't no roti connoisseur I've had East indian in me so there's that! This roti did not make the cut. We may differ slightly or a lot but here's my breakdown;
The curry was curry in color only. I could not taste any curry girl!
The seasoning was done as if it were for stew chicken rather than curry.
The dhalpuri was more on the rubbery side. It looked good, it really looked good with all the burns a skin usually gets when it's made using an authentic tawa but it really wasn't soft enough. It could have been any manner of pita bread I was eating.
Anita, I love your shop and if I'm ever in the area I'll be back for doubles and Trini snacks.
The Long Island and environs roti hunt is on!
The End.
A hidden Gem, the establishment is clean & well stock with a variety of West Indian food. Today I came for the doubles some people may ask what is a doubles?
Doubles is a sandwich made with two bara (flat fried bread) filled with channa (curried chick peas). Topped with mango, shadon beni, cucumber, coconut, tamarind, and extra pepper sauce.
I ordered 3 doubles 2 with all the toppings & 1 with just chick peas for $1.25 each. Anita the owner a sweet lady with a welcoming vibe. Perfect "On The Go Food" … First I ate the 1 with just chick peas the flat bread still warm, soft & moist. The curry chick peas perfectly seasoned, I felt one with the doubles. Next Doubles with all the fixings, toppings was a little sweet but the pepper sauce added the perfect balance with that heat! Very satisfied after just eating 2 I was already full. I just couldn't help myself I ate the 3rd one, now I am officially stuffed with a smile. I will definitely return with a empty stomach, ready for a taste of more West Indian cuisine!
I just wanted to try a few items since I bought a ton of other food. This place was really clean, didn't expect that. It was empty when we got there in the afternoon, so we didn't have to wait.
I could smell the curry as I was walking in, smelled so good… We got 4 Doubles and 1 Aloo Pie. 1-2 of these are pretty filling. The flavors were great, I wasn't sure of all the ingredients since I got them with everything, but wow.. it was so good. It was sweet, but not overwhelmingly so, which helped with the heat. The flat bread was soft, not greasy. It was a bit too spicy for L and I gave a lil to his nephew; he said he could handle the heat, but yeah it did pack a kick, in a good way…it was so good, it cured his headache. I loved the curried chick pea mixture. The prices are fantastic. Im definitely going to try their curry next time.
