    Curry Chicken
    Arisbel M.

    Great small Trinidadian cuisine located in hyde park,MA. The atmosphere is so inviting from the outside and the inside. It is a small place, with a homey touch to it. There's limited outside seating in the summer but as you can imagine, during the cold season, nobody really likes to sit outside lol. I was first introduced to this place last year by one of my Trini co-workers and got in contact with the owner to place a catering order for a work event. We ordered buss up shut, curry chicken, and chana and aloo. Everything came out so delicious and full of flavor. The team enjoyed the food and asked for another catering event and so I placed an order for the same dishes and the owner Allan, worked with our budget. Allan is very friendly and accommodating. Everything was done on time and when I arrived to pick up the order, Allan and his teams helped bring everything to my car. The chana and aloo and the buss up shot are vegan friendly :) I recommend this place! (10/10)

    Sunday veggie special

    Amazing hospitality, cute ambience and some of the best vegetarian food I have ever eaten in boston. Such a cool cuisine to try, the chickpea roti was amazing homemade and flaky. The salsas were rich in spice and flavor. A hidden gem, I'll be telling my friends about.

    Doubles

    Tried their doubles and it was very delicious and flavorful. I ordered them for lunch and hours later they still tasted fresh. Would order again 100%.

    Outdoor seating at a Roti shop? Can't be!

    I'm almost positive D Coal Pot is the only Roti shop in Boston with outdoor seating let alone any seating at all. Super friendly service too!

    Shrimp Buss up Shot
    Stephen S.

    I have ate here so many times. (Probably like 4 days in a row when it has been bad) This is the first time reviewing this place. That's a shame. However they food is really good. Authentic Trinidad food. They have the typical offers during the week, Roti, doubles, lunch plates, bake and salt fish , beef patties. However now I come on Friday and/or Saturday. On Friday, I call for their Shrimp Buss up shot, it's my favorite thing they make hands down. They make their curry shrimp fresh, literally one time they took the uncooked shrimp from the fridge and since shrimp cook time is short they made it right then, it was some of the best shrimp I had anywhere. I get potato, chickpea, pumpkin and cabbage with the buss up shot. Saturday is their busiest day and a day when they cook up specials , shark and bake, curry duck, crab etc. Their doubles are really good and their rotis are solid. My recommendation however will be to get a buss up shot. And ask for their shrimp! Chicken is okay. Their beef is good. But shrimp is amazing

    Don't let this little hole in wall fool you, this place packs a lot of flavor. Great food, nice owner and great location. First time here, I ordered the buss up shot. Second time around, I have the curry goat roti. Man!!!!!! Even better.

    They are the only roti place in Boston I trust. The boneless chicken is the default but I really…read moreenjoy the beef. A large is a meal and a half and the pricing is still reasonable for what you get. Some may debate me on the filling but the skins are not to be compared. I have been coming here for 30+ years and the skins have actually gotten a bit better, even though they were already great. New staffing had definitely improved the service. I can remember many years of having to get there by 6:00 if you wanted roti because they were on the last batch of boneless chicken and curried potatoes. In recent years they seem to have gotten better with managing portions and volume. The location is tough. I usually park on the side street just above them because the double parking mayhem of Blue Hill Avenue is not worth the stress. Few people ever dine in. There are a couple of booths but the business is almost entirely takeout. I do miss the Tremont Street/South End and Roslindale locations but I am so glad that Blue Hill Ali's is going strong!

    I've seen great reviews about Ali's roti so I had to come try it for myself. I got the chicken roti…read more- generous portion, and the chicken was very flavorful. It was great with the cabbage and potatoes added in. Would be interested to try something else on the menu!

    Full disclaimer: I'm Filipino, so there's definitely some bias here -- but Bright Light is such a…read morespecial spot. It's a small, family-owned restaurant that's half Filipino and half Jamaican, run by a Filipino Tita and her Jamaican husband. She learned how to cook Jamaican food to remind him of home, which honestly makes the whole place feel even more meaningful. The Filipino dishes I tried were authentic and tasted homemade -- the kind of food that feels like it came straight out of your auntie's kitchen. The Jamaican food was also delicious (I can't personally vouch for authenticity there), but everything we had was flavorful and satisfying. It's a great, casual, order at the counter spot -- and it's right next to a Filipino market, which makes the experience even better. I love supporting small businesses, especially ones that represent my culture. Bright Light is the kind of place that deserves the love.

    I had heard about this spot for a while, and last week I finally had the chance to visit with a…read morefriend who's Filipino--and I'm glad I did. The restaurant is located right on the corner, with limited street parking and a small lot in the back. It's a cozy, casual place offering Filipino cuisine with a touch of Jamaican flavor. There's a comfortable dine-in area with several tables, and takeout is also available. The food was clearly fresh and homemade, and everything we tried was excellent. I had the jerk chicken, which was flavorful and well-prepared, but I was especially excited to try the Filipino dishes. I sampled a few different options, and each one was delicious and authentic. If you're in the area and looking for a unique mix of Filipino and Jamaican food, this spot is definitely worth checking out. Highly recommended. .

It pains me to write this review but I hope it's seen by management and they address this issue. I had a friend visiting from another state (drove for 10 hours in snow and ice). I was excited to bring them here for brunch. I made a reservation online the day before just in case. We arrived at 10am and the doors were locked. The hours said they'd be open at 9am. Tried getting the staff's attention but it seemed like we were being ignored. I called the phone number several times. No one picked up even though I could see staff inside. I even tried sending them a message on social media but no response. We ended up going to the breakfast spot next door. When we were done, we walked past the restaurant and of course it was open then. Needless to say, this experience was super disappointing. Communication about updated hours or picking up the phone isn't too much to ask for. One bad experience isn't a dealbreaker but two will be. I hope management fixes this quickly.
