My Goat-To Roti: In Between Eatery & Pastry Place
In the Caribbean, the regional fast food is the roti, a flour pancake of Indian origin traditionally wrapped around a meat, chick pea and potato curry. West Indian roti is often a kind of “dhalpouri”, which includes a flavorful ground lentil flour mixed into the layers of the roti. I stopped into the amiable In Between Eatery & Pastry Place for a curried goat roti to go. Their roti wrap is moist and lighter than a tortilla. It’s filled with a big, dense helping of curried goat (still on the bone) with potatoes and chick peas that’s messy, savory and delicious. They offer other rotis (although no conch that I’m aware of), as well as homemade bread and pastries, soups, Jamaican patties, fresh juices, and some very appealing signature lunch specials such as Friday’s Coo Coo, Callaloo & Fish. They also have sorrel, sea moss, mauby and peanut punch, classic Caribbean refreshments that help to tame the curry’s heat.
A cute, homey place with a nice crowd, I’m not sure if their spelling of the classic dish Buss-Up-Shut as Bush-Up-Shut was intentional, but I like it. They’re open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
