The Best Caribbean Food In Crown Heights & Bed-Stuy - New York - The Infatuation

"Just north of Empire Blvd. sits a third-generation roti shop named after the family’s matriarch, Gloria Wilson. Gloria’s recently suffered tremendous generational loss documented by Gothamist. During its heyday, Gloria’s had three locations, and is currently operated by Gloria’s grandson, Bryan. Another institution best known for Trini-style roti and pholourie (fluffy fried balls made with split peas served with tamarind sauce), Gloria’s is a must-visit. My order here is usually the goat buss-up (paratha), but as an alternative, I’d also recommend the boneless chicken roti. The best way to eat this is in its traditional Indo-Caribbean style: with your hands and with plenty of pepper. Pair it with tamarind for a sweet and spicy flavor along with an Apple J, and boom, you’ll feel like you are at a Carnival fete.
