Cash Only. They are currently allowing only 5 ppl at a time inside but the line moves quickly. Still my go to neighborhood joint. Great value for the money. My go tos are still the doubles (2 for the plain extra if you want extra-- I go plain all the time) with pepper sauce and tamarind sauce combo. You can't go wrong. Rotis are still massive (7-9). But I would be remiss if I didn't mention that the flavors are a little different. Not different bad. Just different. But the pepper sauce and tamarind seem not as sweet or spicy as they usually are. I still love this place, I do but I wonder if all the new gentrifiers are forcing the owners to water things down a bit. I'll give it another try in a month or so and will report back. 5 customers allowed in at at time. Mask and social distancing required. Everyone respected this rule. Even in the cold. I appreciated that immensely during this covid times bc the place is quite small.

DISCLAIMER I AM VEGAN and only went because a friend took me The blend of herbs and spices combined with all the veggies in the Roti were as good as your friends or other peoples reviews have lead you to believe. Properly spicy but not burn your mouth spicy more like overwhelm the mouth with flavors and you'll love every bite Tho due to covid on 9/19/20 only 5 people are allowed inside so you will be standing outside in line for quite a while. 15 minutes in my experience and then 7 min once inside to order and get the food. My only complaint comes from my experience at the end of the night with getting rid of the food. I can tell that they use the same utensils for everything so even if your getting all veggies their is a lot of meat microbacteria in your food.
I'm probably not an expert on rotis or doubles, but I feel that I am an expert on deliciousness and this is it. I have had roti in other spots, but this one is fantastic and consistently good. I used to get lunch here several times a week - says it all. Affordably priced - lunch for under ten dollars. I would usually get the wrapped boneless chicken roti (pictured below) and doubles. They ask you how spicy you want your roti, and even if you ask for spicy, they go easy on you. I think they have to trust that you won't come back and complain about the food being \too spicy\ before they will actually give you spicy food. This is totally understandable because people actually do this (order spicy food and then regret it) They also have a large selection of imported Caribbean goods and packaged food and drinks for sale in the store/restaurant. Always a line and cash only. This is real brooklyn food. It should be a stop on a food tour (after covid obviously)
Everything is yummy. Try their doubles yum, and the price is right. Keep it up guys. If it ain't broke don't fix it. Stay safe.
I love this place. Come here pretty often and the food is always at its best, the owners are really friendly and have never messed up an order for me or anyone else I've been here with. Highly recommended
