"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 a handful of stools in this small, bright shop, but we’re all for taking it to go. 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 which you can eat like a sandwich. But if you’re heading somewhere more comfortable, we’d go with the rich curry goat with a buss up shot every time." - rianne shlebak
"At Tawa Roti in Clapham, every roti is made-to-order. This Trinidadian spot knows that there aren’t many better combinations than lush curry goat and fluffy warm roti. The shop is mostly takeaway but there are a handful of stalls if you want to perch and eat in, and sitting down with the curry goat or shrimp is a very good idea. But if you’re on the go, the buss up shot is always a good move." - jake missing, heidi lauth beasley
"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, buss up shot, and your fluffy robe. Yes, you’ll have to wait 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, get the dhal puri with goat or shrimp. It’s a neatly wrapped, filled flatbread which you can eat like a sandwich." - heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, jake missing, daisy meager, sinead cranna

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
