I heard that there's a new Trinidadian restaurant that opened up and they specialize in roti!
So I went to give 868 Roti Hut a try!
868 Roti Hut is located mid-island, just off of centerline road, on the side-street across from Plaza Extra East & Falcon Gas Station. Once you turn down this side-road, you will see it on the left side. Look for their sign.
There's limited parking in front, parking across from them is an option and there's also street parking.
Their interior is VERY spacious and accommodates groups of people very well.
There's menus outside and inside and you place your orders at the bar counter.
Admittedly, the ambiance is rather plain and simple.
I get the impression that it's rather quiet inside, because many people took their orders TO-GO.
This leads me to my PRO-TIP. CALL YOUR ORDERS AHEAD!
Their flavors like conch, goat and shrimp are very popular and tend to sell-out first. So it's best to CALL AHEAD and place your orders BEFORE going to pickup or even if dining -in. This way, you have a better chance at getting what you want.
Their menu consists of :
Roti
Buss Up Shot
Doubles
and a few appetizers.
I love the way their proteins cover for everyone's tastes including: fish, shrimp, chicken, goat, conch, tofu & veggie.
Service was fast and friendly.
Be warned, if you don't call your order ahead, you're probably going to have to wait at least 10+ minutes for your food; but it will all be worth it!
I ordered their shrimp roti and gobbled it down!
So flavorful and seasoned well!
I also enjoyed their kurma, which is almost like a churro cinnamon stick.
Overall, I'm completely loving what 868 Roti Hut has to offer the community and their roti is top-notch!
Definitely worth going for lunch or dinner read more
