Singh's Roti Shop

"Dorchester and Roxbury are where Bostonians go to eat roti, a dish that originated in the West Indies (specifically in Trinidad). This curried stew is served with or wrapped by a flatbread that is similar in constitution and taste to the kind you’d find on the Indian subcontinent. (There is a long and complicated history of Indian immigration to Trinidad and Tobago, as well as to the greater Caribbean.) While there are several fine roti shops in Boston, the house-made hot sauce at Singh’s pushes this Dorchester Avenue spot ahead of the competition. Order the goat roti, and get doubles, too, a dish that consists of two delicately fried pieces of dough packed with sweet and spicy chickpeas. Singh’s is primarily a takeout spot, but you’ll find a few counter seats within."
