Roti Stop

A hurried power walk out of Stoke Newington station can see you pass Roti Stop in a flash. But those in the know will pause to assess how many bodies are crammed into this matchbox-sized Caribbean takeaway on the corner, and whether they’ve got time to grab a beef patty. Rotis and curries are the way to go: the goat is softly stewed and warmly spiced, and a flaky yellow roti with hearty channa is a nourishing lunch to eat on the platform or at home. Drink-wise, get one homemade peanut punch for now and one for later. You won’t regret it.
