"Every neighbourhood needs a wholesome, family-owned takeaway spot. And Tawa Roti should be your go-to in Clapham for reliable and comforting Trinidadian food. There are only a handful of stools in this small, bright takeout shop, so we’re all for taking it to go. Preferably all the way home if you’re not far, because there is no greater combination than the rich curry goat and your fluffy robe. Yes, you’ll have to hang around a little bit for your food, but it’s only because the rotis are made to order. If you are sticking around to eat in or eating it on the go, get the dhal puri with goat or shrimp. It’s a neatly wrapped flatbread with the filling inside so you can eat it like a sandwich. But if you’re heading somewhere more comfortable to eat, we’d go with the buss up shot (torn roti for scooping and dipping) every time. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Pause Unmute Food Rundown Goat No notes. This goat curry is rich, meaty, and the pieces of goat are soft and easily scooped with the buss up shot. We wished we got two of these. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Shrimp A lighter curry, with tender prawns and a runny sauce, this is great with rice. We just wish there were more prawns in a portion. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Mixed Veg The right order for when you can’t decide between the spinach and the chickpeas—this box is filled with every vegetarian curry on the menu. Don’t worry about them mixing together a little, the flavours still work. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Buss Up Shot For dipping and scooping, this shredded fluffy roti is the perfect side to any of the curries. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Dhal Puri Depending on the choice of curry, this can be a little on the dry side, so we prefer the buss up shot. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch" - Rianne Shlebak
