Welcoming staff offering great food. I ordered the chicken curry rice bowl w/ added vegetables, and a side of hot sauce. *The hot sauce is fantastic and VERY spicy* I also ordered one of their homemade Sorrel drinks. Also very good. The curry was very flavorful. I will definitely return and supprt this business read more

I finally tried this place and was really delighted I made the trek out on a snowy afternoon. The owner was working the counter and he was so friendly and walked me through the menu as someone who is new to roti. The curry chicken roti was delicious and a great deal, particularly for the heartiness of the portion. Large chunks of chicken with seasoned potatoes and vegetables all tucked into a pillowy, chewy wrap - super tasty and would definitely recommend! read more

Singh's Roti Shop - Curry chicken roti - Trinidadian Near Me - Dorchester, Massachusetts

Having never eaten roti, I didn't know what to expect. I enjoy Indian food, so I assumed that roti would be similar. The man (Mr. Singh?) behind the counter was dour. He told me that the shop offered three types of chicken: (one I forget), curry, and jerk. The price? "$16.99," he said. I ordered the jerk and selected two vegetable "sides," which were actually tucked into the roti skin. Although the taste was pleasant, I was disappointed that it didn't have the jerk punch, or even much Indian-type flavor. Perhaps Trinidadian jerk is different from the Jamaican source. The $22.95 bill was an unwelcome surprise. When I asked, the man respond that the price of jerk chicken was higher than the other chicken roti. Why didn't he tell me that when I ordered? It seems that Mr. Sourpuss was deliberately underhanded. read more

I had delivery for lunch and it was delicious! The chicken was incredibly flavorful and tender. The plantains were on point and the roti was solid. Add rice to the equation and you get a very filling meal. Portion sizes were huge so you get a lot of value read more

Solid food, no complaints, no nonsense just good indo Caribbean food. Great chicken and chickpeas

I'd heard about Boston "hospitality" but figured it wouldn't hold me back from driving the 5 hours up from New Jersey to try the famous Singh's Rotis. Sure enough, I was treated to some no nonsense attitude, instructed what to order, take a seat, and wait for my food. I did feel dissuaded to ask too many questions, but beyond that the service was actually very much like coming home, as if to your tough uncle who actually loves you very much and will make sure you're well fed and taken care of. The owner and I chatted about our backgrounds, our tastes in food, and when the food did come out, he explained how to eat it best and gave me some extra sauce. And the food is BOMB. Totally worth the drive up. The roti is chewy, richly fried, slightly sweet, and decadent for every bite. The curried chick peas inside are the perfect filling. I imagine that on a frigid Boston night this combo would fill you up with warmth like nothing else. The Veggie Deluxe is a good wholesome meal with its lightly saiteed and seasoned mixed veggies, but at the end of the day, the simple no frills Double is all that's needed. While you'll probably grab the roti to eat on the go, the shop itself is spacious clean and has a nice traditional vibe. You can kick back and enjoy your roti while listening to some Desi tunes read more

My first time trying trini food. I ordered doubles, macaroni and cheese pie, and chicken roti. The bread for the doubles and roti tasted really fresh. It was soft and pillowy. The doubles are very unique in flavor with a little bit of everything, savory, sweet, tangy. The roti said it comes with 2 sides inside the roti, but they weren't included. Also the first piece of chicken I got was really dry, like it had been forgotten in a fryer for a while dry, but the rest of the chicken was well cooked and moist, falling apart. The macaroni pie is dense but delicious, lovely crispy cheese crust. I really enjoyed it. The delivery was very well packaged, with lots of care and the food arrived fast and hot. This is the kind of food you'll get a craving for. I'd eat this food again! read more

Doubles!!!! What more can I say? They had all the traditional and authentic food and drinks I'm used to from home (T&T)

Doubles. That's all there is to say. Their doubles are so delicious and seasoned and the sauce is so spicy and such a nice touch!!! The beef patty with coco bread is also phenomenal read more

Had this on my list for a long time (went through a Trini phase years and years ago) and only now finally got to try. Food was mediocre compared to other roti shops in Dorchester as well as my favs in Crown Heights Brooklyn. Lacking in spice and flavor, and my wife thought the veg sides tasted a bit old or maybe even a little rancid. Food is also pricy considering it was mostly premade or reheated. read more

If you're looking for some good Caribbean food in the Dorchester area, I definitely suggest stopping by. I've only had good experiences coming here, especially when interacting with the owner. The owner is super friendly and the ambiance is amazing. This is a good spot if you're looking for authentic Trinidadian food. I definitely recommend trying curry beef plate if you stop by or beef patties. read more

We were attending a show at the strand theatre across the street and wanted to grab a bite to eat beforehand. The employees were very friendly and answered our questions about the food before ordering. We went with the chicken curry and rice which was a good size for the price. We also tried their mango lassi which was good! It's made fresh and bottled for convenience. The menu has a variety of options for everyone. Overall a good quick spot. read more

The server was very nice and helpful so for that's reason I gave three stars. The food 1) I love hot food but this food was beyond spicy, I like to add my own pepper to food after I taste the flavor. This food was so hot no one enjoyed their meal ( and we ordered a few kids meals). It was very spicy and most people found it hard to enjoy the flavor. 2) I picked up food on a Sunday and it tasted stale, like food from Friday maybe even earlier in the week. 3) I bought a few treats like tamarind ball, however it tasted like someone made them after seasoning meat. The tamarind tasted like garlic and other seasonings. I also got a candy bar from Trinidad, the expiration date on the candy was 11months past. Overall, the food was expensive, but the roti itself was okay. So f you're not use to Caribbean cooking and love spicy food then you may like Singh's Roti shop. read more

Their food is very good. Their prices are very reasonable. The service is efficient and friendly. The premises are very nice.

Family and I drove 2 hrs one -way from Connecticut to Boston for Mr Singh's. Tears came to my eyes when the doubles hit my mouth- thank you Jesus!! Amongst us, besides the doubles, we had boneless chicken roti, pholourie and some paratha roti washed down with 2 Solos- banana and cream soda. Finished up with some currant rolls for the road. Bought an obscene amount to come back and freeze 'til the next trip. Worth the distance- food was eating nice- we'll be back! read more

Quick, fresh. Delicious Roti! The server was a little cranky but it was busy so........ I will definitely be back!

Really good reviews so wanted to give it a try. Pretty decent, very large portions. Jerk chicken is overwhelmingly spiced and the oxtail could've been more tender. You get 2 sides with your entree so that's good. Flavor is there, wish it was just a little better read more

Food is just like my mommy's!! Just don't tell her lol. Made with love. Had both types of Rotis- yum!! Been a couple of times. Doubles are the best! Had the curry chicken and curry goat, pumpkin, chana and pholourie- you have to try! I prefer more of a dominan or Jamaican style of oxtail as it's more spicy than the trini style. But still good. Live about an hour north but when we visit family in Boston we always make a stop before heading back. Keep in mind buss up shut roti is huge!! Please this a try you won't regret it. read more

Great service!! Great food!!! The owner was very friendly and helpful with our order. Will be back!

Eaten here four times now and it's been fantastic every time. Really takes me back to some of the best Caribbean spots I'd eat at as a young person in south Florida. Everything I've had has been great (oxtail, stew jerk chicken, sweet plantain, roti, doubles, the cooked veggies), but I'd really recommend adding doubles to your order if you've never tried them. It's eye-rolling good. Not to mention that the owner who runs the shop is a real nice guy who clearly has put a lot of work and love into his business. read more

Would not order here again. Staff was rude and the food was not tasty. Potatoes were too hard and even though it was supposed to be boneless chicken roti, I could not identify the pieces of meat that were included. Would not recommend. Seems the food was rushed and not done all the way! read more

Delicious and authentic Trini food! You have to get the doubles, best doubles in the US comparable to back home. Chicken roti was good, good size. Very friendly, literally made it feel like home (says my trini husband) definitely check them out! read more

Ordered through Postmates and thought it was a little pricey but wow they give a lot of food! I ordered the buss-up-shot roti with boneless curry chicken. It came with sides of curry channa and curry potatoes. Good flavors and the roti was HUGE! I also ordered a side of the curry channa and the serving was big enough to be a meal of its own. I like my curry a little more spicy but the overall flavors on this was very good read more

Coming from the Barbados, Trinidad and Guyana this food is definitely reminding me of home and is just as good! Living in the US for a while now it's been hard to find good Caribbean food in places like California, Chicago, and St. Louis. Seeing that Boston had spots made my summer here, and Singh's is definitely leading the pack. Highly recommend for anyone looking for food from home, but also recommend for anyone who has never had the pleasure of trying the food before. Don't leave without having had Doubles!!!! read more

This spot still delivers the BEST Food in Boston. All of your hunger needs will be met in a friendly atmosphere, with lots Trini and Caribbean culture. Thank you Singh's for being a staple in the community, providing awesome food for more than 18 years. This is the Best Doubles in Boston!PERIOD! read more

Terrible!! The doubles were not good! Roti bland and Oxtail was awful! Oh and my lassi was spoiled!

Stopped in the other day to grab lunch real fast when I was in the area... and no exaggeration this is quite possibly the best doubles I have ever had... Got a shrimp plate as well... Family that owns the shop are the nicest people and always open and welcome you right in... Food is delicious and the options they have are endless, stop in and visit and I promise you will be a repeat Customer! read more

Singh's Roti Shop - Curry Shrimp with Cabbage and Chana - Trinidadian Near Me - Dorchester, Massachusetts

We were visiting from the West Coast and ran across this Trinidadian restaurant. We were up for trying something new, and Mr. Singh was gracious to explain the food and to make delightful recommendations. We had a chicken roti, and a vegetable roti that were fresh flavorful, and honestly more than we could eat in one sitting. This was a great experience! read more

Great Trinidadian food ! Drove here from Ludlow 2 hours away, if your in the area definitely stop by!

Awesome delicious food. Everything is yummy and reminds me of home. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Given the layout of this place, I was glad that I had ended up checking out Singh's Roti Carribbean Restaurant on my own rather than dragging a friend along with me. It is sort of a siamese type spot, with one shared door up a slight step, entering into the roti shop on the left, and some other little store on the right. With but one solitary stool by the window, it isn't the sort of spot that you'd go to with plans of dining in. Order at the counter where there are trays of prepped foods such as the sides and their primary meats, and take your bundle to-go. I wanted to try their crab patty, but that wasn't an option on this visit (time: Saturday lunch), so chicken boneless roti it was! For $9.49 ($10.69 with tax) a large flat roti was filled with scoops of my choice of two sides (the cabbage included thin sliced carrots and an occasional broccoli, and a chunky curry potato) and the protein (chicken boneless, least I repeat myself... though I did find one small bone, but such is the luck of the draw). And just what is roti? I had assumed it to simply be some kind of bread, like that in Indian restaurants. Yum, right? I like bread. But this one had something grainy tucked between the thin layers that flew out as I tugged off pieces of the roti - split peas! More like "dhalpuri" I presume from my googling. Between the plastic fork and my fingers, I managed to eat about half the fat bundle and was satisfied with my meal of tender chicken and nicely firm, well cooked vegetables. The curry had a bit of heat, but was not overwhelming to this spice wimp armed with bites of the roti and a bottle of water. read more

I was treated like family the moment I walked in, even though I'd never been there before. The wife and her husband were so friendly, gave us some free snacks to eat as we waited for our food. It was super nice of them! The food was all delicious and huuuuuge portions. Highly recommend. read more

Really liked this small place! I was a bit overwhelmed with choices and asked for a recommendation, and the lady said the boneless chicken curry on roti was the most popular, so I ordered that. It came with veggies and potatoes, all wrapped up in a burrito-style fashion, although with the curry inside, it was still a bit messy to eat. I will say that I found the chicken to be dry, probably because it was breast meat. I think I'd probably get the bone-in one next time because that's sure to be more juicy, although it might make eating more difficult. The roti was really delicious and warm, and I was pulling it apart and eating it with the sauce and veggies. One serving is HUGE and lasted me two full meals. I'm kicking myself for not trying all of the different veggie sides they have, because they looked so good. Prices are very reasonable, considering how much food you get. Overall, great place to get food to go or have a very casual meal at the small dining area they have. read more

Stopped for lunch after the VanGogh exhibit and we're so happy with our choice! Great food and drinks and friendly owners! It's mostly take out but has a few tables to sit and enjoy delicious roti, samosas, meat pies, chicken dinner and a bunch of other yummy sides. It's a place you might miss- not fancy- but totally worth finding! The mango lasso is worth the trip alone!! read more

This is only the second time I've had curry chicken roti and it was delicious. The roti here is thicker and chewier than the first place I had. I'm no roti expert so I don't know which is more authentic but both were good in their own way. Definitely ask for the hot sauce. I did think the price was a little steep. My curry chicken roti was over $14. read more

Everything here is bland as heck. I have never had such bland Trinidadian food in my life. I used a half a bottle of hot sauce and that still did not help. The curry goat was watery. The only thing worthwhile from this restaurant are the doubles. read more

This place is AMAZING. The food is SO DELICIOUS. I honestly was left speechless after eating here. My mom makes the best goat and this is the first restaurant I've been to that rivals her goat curry. If you eat here and you don't like it just go away so there is more for everyone else :). So good. I will come here again and again. I went yesterday and I'm already tempted to go back today. We had doubles and goat curry + platanitos. Most amazing mix of Indian and Caribbean. I haven't seen any other place like it! I didn't try the mango lassi but it was 5 bucks! Way too expensive. All the other menu items were fairly priced and the portions are huge. Definitely enough to feed 2 people! read more

So so yummy! We discovered this unassuming little shop after seeing it get written up in Boston Eater and boy am I glad we decided to swing by after catching a movie at South Bay. We ordered the oxtail roti (~$13) and the chicken bone-in dinner plate ($13), plus a peanut drink ($5). The oxtail roti was wrapped in soft, fragrant roti and accompanied by rice, beans, potatoes, and generous amounts of tender, fall-off-the-bone oxtail. Careful, it was bone-in! The bone-in chicken was similarly tasty, and accompanied by two sides of your choice -- I choose the cabbage which was a perfect partner; if not light, it was a nice vegetable pairing against the heavier chicken and rice. The potato side was also really tasty, fragrant and spicy. The peanut drink was a bit heavy for me, and very sweet, but I enjoyed it nonetheless (well, I drank a few swigs and saved the rest for later). Sure, $30 for such a humble shop seems steep, but given how much meat you're getting and the size of the portions, it easily is lasting us 4 meals, so I say that's a huge win. Service is friendly. No parking but we were able to find a convenient space down the side street. read more
