"One of Los Angeles’s most-celebrated Caribbean restaurants comes from chef Rashida Holmes, whose modern Afro-Caribbean restaurant Bridgetown Roti began its astronomic ascent in Los Angeles as a pop-up in 2020 (it was named an Eater Best New Restaurant in 2021), before relocating to a brightly decorated permanent space in East Hollywood in 2024. Here, regulars file in for crispy-topped macaroni and cheese pie, red pepper goat roti wraps, and inventive patties — the oxtail and peppers and green curry shrimp renditions maybe the best of the bunch. With ample vegan and vegetarian options, including its own spin on Trinidadian doubles, Holmes’ spot has something for every Angeleno. — Nicole Adlman, cities manager" - Mona Holmes, Matthew Kang, Nicole Adlman
