Trini, Guyanese, paratha — five-borough roti shops
Nothing hits like a proper roti when you need that warm hug from home, and NYC's Caribbean community has blessed us with some serious spots across all five boroughs. Whether you're craving that flaky Trini buss-up-shut, a perfectly spiced Guyanese curry wrap, or a crispy paratha stuffed with your favorite filling, these shops represent decades of recipes passed down and perfected in kitchens from Crown Heights to Richmond Hill.
Before you head out, give these spots a quick call since hours can change and some of the best roti sells out by evening (trust us, you don't want to make that trip for nothing). We're constantly updating this list as new gems open and old favorites evolve, so bookmark this page and check back weekly for the freshest intel on where to get your roti fix right now.
