Since ~1989
A Mattapan institution.
For more than 35 years, Ali’s Roti has been wrapping fresh dhalpuri and pulling pots of curry on Blue Hill Ave. No frills, no shortcuts — just real Trinidadian roti-shop cooking, the way it’s done back home.
Curry goat cooked down slow, doubles built to order, buss-up-shut you tear and dip. Come in, call ahead, or grab doubles on the way to work. Everybody leaves full.
Two soft bara. One classic.
Doubles are the breakfast of Trinidad — two soft fried bara filled with curried channa, topped with pepper and sweet tamarind. Get two (you’ll wish you got three). $2.50 each, made to order.
