Ali's Roti Restaurant

"For the past thirty years, this Indo-Trinidadian eatery has offered no-frills wraps and curries ranging from chicken to oxtail to pumpkin. Patrons can choose between two kinds of roti — buss-up shut, which has a shredded texture and dhalpuri, which contains a split-pea filling — and pair it with a variety of stewed meats or vegetables. Be prepared to have leftovers, as it’s quite a lot of bang for your buck." - Maya Homan

"Roti — and especially its street food counterpart, wrap roti — originated in the West Indies, specifically in Trinidad. It is a sort of curried stew served with flatbread, and there are some exceptional versions being cooked in Dorchester, Roxbury, and Mattapan. Head to the Lower Roxbury outpost of Ali’s Roti on Tremont Street, get the curry chicken roti, and eat it in one of the neighborhood’s many nearby parks." - Terrence Doyle
