If you are into West Indian curry and happen to be around during the hours 1 day a week that this place is open for lunch, then you will truly love Cip's Roti House. They are only open on Fridays from 11:00am to 2:00pm. This lunch spot does about 90% of its business as take out. They do have a couple hanging chairs and a small table on a rear patio to eat in. They do not serve alcohol.
They only serve Roti which is a chick pea flour tortilla that is perfectly wrapped around a curry filling into a perfect package or envelope. Very savory, aromatic and delicious. You can select your curry filling from choices of: boneless chicken, chicken with bone, beef, shrimp, veggie or potato. If you like your curry extra spicy, they will ask you if you want pepper and if you say yes then a shot of their special local chili sauce is added to the filling for an extra kick and burst of flavor.
Don't come here expecting restaurant type atmosphere and service because this place is all about incredible roti as it is located in owners open air garage at their home. It is a great experience if you are visiting St. Croix and your timing works out. You actually watch the chefs in the kitchen prepare your roti and the smells are incredible.
This place can actually say that the food that they serve is home cooked. Lol!
I give 5 stars with the above criteria and understanding factored into the equation for what it is. read more
