I'm generally a fan of "build-your-own-bowl" style restaurants, but I was a bit late to the party with Roti. This was actually my very first time eating at one, but it didn't disappoint. Since it was my first time there, I decided to pick something off the menu and wound up going with "Fire and Rice," their signature steak bowl. The steak is served with rice (duh), carrot salad, cucumbers, onions, and tahini. Like the name suggests, the steak had some heat to it, but I found it to be more of a sweet heat, which was long-lasting and enjoyable. The dill cucumbers and pickled onions provided an interesting sour to contrast with the sweetness of the meat.
For dessert I had the baclava, which for me was the best part. It had a slightly different flavor than I was expecting, incorporating notes of butterscotch. It was also a bit sweeter than anticipated, but it wasn't overly sweet.
