Roti Hut - Trinidad

Roti Hut
The Roti Hut inside Powerboats boat yard in Chaguaramas sells some of the best rotis we've ever had anywhere!  Hands down, yummy stuff!!  They start serving at 11:30 but you better be there a touch before 11:30 because at exactly 11:30 AM every worker from every boat yard and boat industry service comes rolling in for their rotis and the line gets long fast.  
HUGE Roti
Your choices are roti - beef, or chicken, or boneless chicken (which NO self-respecting Trini would get), or veg and either goat or lamb (depending on the day) OR a Buss Up - which is basically a de-constructed roti.
So filling
The favors are SO good.  Just the right amount of curry.  The veg has several curries layered together and then a mango chutney tossed in for added flavor.  As with all Trini food, we are asked when ordering "Peppa?"  I generally go with "slight peppa" while Tom goes with "peppa".
After the noon rush
The roti's are huge and messy.  A sink off to the side helps with the clean up of your very messy roti or Buss Up hands.

In case you need a reminder of what a roti is -Trinidad Roti (Wiki) be sure to scroll down to the West Indies section.
