Le Gavroche – the street urchin – is perhaps not for everyone.
A dish like this should be elusive – it is far too easy to eat seven portions of croquetas in a single sitting, which is why we presume Barrafina makes you queue. Traditional Caribbean food – Roti is a great dish for any occasion, as well as being quick and healthy.
To remember it is to salivate, we assure you. Where to find Trinidadian roti, Guyanese pepperpot stew, doubles, aloo pies, and moreCaribbean takeouts and restaurants in London have become synonymous with Jamaican food over the years, owing to the island cuisine’s dominance in U.K. Caribbean restaurants. The lamb chops, which come all smokey and burnished from the grill, are perfect; pink as a Vegas sign inside, but the fat all soft and dripping and delicious. David Carter’s Shoreditch restaurant occupies itself by giving the entirety of Kansas City a run for its money on a daily basis.
If the roti bread is too much or a New Year regime is in place, the plump pelau rice will surely suffice.While the likes of Roti Stop rings bells north of the river, to those south all these mean nothing compared to Croydon’s Roti Masters, which has been a quasi-social hub for the Trini community in the area over the last decade. Rudies also does a mean brunch – swap your standard fry up for the “Full Jamaican”, featuring lamb sausages, ackee and saltfish, baked butter beans and boiled green bananas.
Michel Roux Jr’s cheese soufflé, baked on double cream, stuns, so overwhelmingly tasty, utter decadence that clings to the taste buds. This multiplying Jamaican favourite serves its barbecued jerk chicken in street food stall-friendly dhal puri roti wraps.
Upstairs in the Soho local, Neil Borthwick is quietly running one of the area’s best kitchens. Fine slices of potato are stacked into architecturally sound wedges, and confited until shatteringly crispy on the outside and devastatingly soft in the centre.
It’s not often that the main event at a barbecue restaurant is the veg, but Berber & Q have achieved just that. Hangover be gone. Having opened its first location back in 1985, Cottons is a veritable legend of London’s Caribbean dining scene. Jeremy Lee cooks many things to a legendary level at Quo Vadis – his pies could so easily have also made this list – but he gets the nod here for his unrivalled take on the fancy sandwich. Roti Joupa certainly isn’t the place for a hot date – but its hot doubles more than make up for that.

An unwarranted shame, as this partly Middle Eastern, partly Mediterranean set-up is really very good; it is somewhere to pick and choose from bits and pieces, and put a meal together yourself. The food here is, however, both addictively tasty and unwilling to bend to UK tastes – there aren’t too many places in London that’ll sell you cow foot and butter beans.

Alongside impeccable service and an arguably perfect dining room, you could add another highlight to your breakfast at The Wolseley by ordering this creamy, haddock-filled dish, named for the writer who inspired its creation while staying at the Savoy. Here, Guyanese specialities such as slow-simmering sweet pepperpot stew, the classic okra-chicken combo, and curried meat and fish are all on display.
If we’re talking roti, we need to talk about Island Social Club (that’s the first rule of Island Social Club).
Those looking for a challenge can attempt to devour the shockingly sour tamarind balls, while the staff giggle at the expressions that ensue.Though Guyana has a long history of British rule, its diaspora in Britain is much smaller than the Caribbean islands with which it has a deep cultural connection. For the bright, zingy side of Caribbean cooking, Dalston restaurant Rudie’s is your go-to. Its no wonder the hungry drive up from all over the south east of the country to stock up on chickpea-infused dhal puri roti skins, bags of pholouri balls, and aloo pies.Nearly a decade old.
Once your stomach is lined, brave souls can order the Zombie cocktail – it’s made with five types of rum before being set alight at the table.
Try out some Roti in London find Caribbean restaurants and takeaways. The menu tends to change often upstairs in the French, but have this if it’s on. This could so easily have been a plate of rigorously sourced oysters, the fish pie, the decadent Royal seafood platter (pictured).
A side, it will match almost everything on the menu; of which, the lamb with aubergine on the menu of classics is extraordinarily good. They do small plates of near perfect pasta; their ragu, whether lamb or veal, is a gem.
