Naz Roti Palace
Included In
Naz Roti is a family-owned and operated restaurant that offers a standard Trinidadian menu of roti, doubles, and rice plates. Due to COVID, they’re currently only offering bar seating, but the service is still as good as ever and they always offer free tamarind sauce. They use the Indian name “chapati” to describe their plain roti, and although they also have dhal puri roti, I’ve found their lentils to be on the grainier side, so I’d recommend sticking with the plain or paratha.
The rotis here are large, thick, and layered and will feed two to three people, and unless requested otherwise, the bread and meat are served separately here. The oxtail roti is their standout - both because it’s less common and their oxtail is delicious. They give you the meatiest, most tender pieces that fall right off the bone and the brown sauce has a smokey, slightly sweet flavor. They also have a good veggie roti with pumpkin in it. While doubles are typically the go-to warm-up snack, their doubles are slightly overfilled and tamarind sauce-deprived, so just double down on roti here instead.
