Rama’s Roti Shop

I’m on Church Ave trying to find a quick bite before getting on the train. I see the Trini flag and felt comfort knowing I can have a bake and salt fish or smoked herring. When I first walked into the store, I was taken aback by the muggy heat radiating and the place was empty… Only the attendant behind the counter, wiping it down. The steamers were full of fresh looking food. After placing my order for two bakes, she put a small corner of salt fish on the bake. Meanwhile, she poked the herring onto the second bake. I told her I needed a little more added to my bake and she said she already put the salt fish. As she’s taking my money, she asked why I was looking at her. I told her she felt a ways because she knew I was right about the potion of food given. I took the bag, walked out the store vowing never to return. (Of course, the herring was Horrible, No flavor just a pile of brown mush. And the salt fish wasn’t even that good…)
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND A&A Doubles Shop on Nostrand and Fulton for all your Trini delicacies.

I really hate to give poor reviews but their food is subpar and I recommend you go elsewhere as there are plenty of other spots in the immediate vicinity. I should’ve known better when I didn’t see anyone inside but took a chance anyway. I tried their beef roti last month and it was the worst roti I’ve had in a long time! The roti skin was very thin & fell apart immediately. The beef was tasteless & unfortunately I also ended up getting mild food poisoning. I’m not sure that the beef was kept at the proper temperature.

Whenever I’m on Church Ave. I stop by this little place. The aloo pie is amazing. I also have the potato buss up with a side of lentils. Tasty. My only problem is they tend to skimp a little depending on who’s serving you. Pretty good place.

I caught a bus and walked a long way down church street to get to 2816 where I was expecting the sign to say: Pascale Bakery & Restaurant. I said Kreyol? I walked in and IMMEDIATELY WALKED BACK OUT! A man coming into Kreyol must’ve seen the expression on my face and said: «What’s wrong?» I quickly said as I was walking to cross the street towards Rama’s «Oh nothing» it was the strong smell of Raid that made me walk out of Kreyol’s.
When I got across the street to Rama’s the first thing I smelled was CLEAN like clorox, but not overpowering, just enough to quiet my soul and KNOW that God had lead me to a CLEAN establishment.
It was VERY EASY to order. I knew I wanted the meat in the red sauce. Rama said it was chicken. I also knew I wanted the chick pea mixture up front. Rama also put a dab of pumpkin knowing this would enhance the flavor beyond belief. It did!
As I was eating the GREED in me wanted to take some home for my daughters:} Riddhi is a vegetarian so I got her chick pea and mango veggie mix over white rice. And I got Indira and I more of the red chicken and chick pea sauce over white rice.
The whole time I ate I kept saying this is what we in the hood would call «OFF THE CHAIN» In the utmost good way:}
This has got to be the Number One spot for eating in NYC!!!
PS
Bring cash because she does not have a credit card machine.

This shop is the very definition of a hole in the wall because the owner is a rat. And unfortunately I only noticed the rat droppings after I had paid for my food! No refunds btw! So if you have a craving for ignorant ghetto loud rude «customer service» to go with your rat droppings roti by all means pay this POS establishment a visit the next time you’re on Church Ave. Rarely do I go anywhere without Unilocaling it first and my visit here was on a whim. I hope this review saves someone else from the loss of money and the drama that ensued when I asked for a refund after pointing to the rat turds on the floor! Lesson learned. Never again. No more holes for me! And yes I did call the health department. Beyond disgusting.

A friend and I went doubles tasting today and Rama was out favorite of the day… out of the four places that we tried. It was the right balance of light thin bread, flavorful Chana and spicy… something we were not expecting since this was not found online, but just by walking by. It’s not fancy to sit and hang but was very clean.

Roti doubles and baked are all on point. I go here when I want roti or doubles. I recommend the crab n dumplings.

My favorite quick stop when in Flatbush and I’m looking for a great Trini breakfast… Their bake and smoked herring/​saltfish is amazing and their many is perfect (well just how I like it)… Price range is reasonable and you should definitely stop by when in the neighborhood

I live nearby, but I decided to order food via Grubhub. The food never arrived. Why offer delivery if you can’t deliver!!! I’ve NEVER order from here again.

i ordered from them today ¹²⁄₁₆ at 9.25pm and i never received my food i will never as long as i stall live order from this place very unprofessional, i will tell all my friends and family never to eat here… xxxxxxx caution !!!

The brightest and cleanest roti shop in the City, Rama opened a bit more than a year ago but it seems newer considering the bright red sign and white interiors.
Roti is always on offer but as with many Caribbean restaurants the posted menu is a more a suggestion than definitive guide to what’s available. (No doubles on a recent visit, which is quite sad.)
My chicken roti was particularly heavy on the tiny bones — a reflection on the severity of the cutting, not the quality of the meat. Roti skin is thicker than most, but tasty none the same.
A very large, elaborate briyani was overflowing out of its container when I there, which nearly caused me to not order a roti on my first visit to a roti shop. If only there were more options for Trini fare in North Brooklyn, a might have been more adventurous.
Still the combination of plenty of seating a nice product on offer means that I’ll be able to spread out on future visits.

Opened about three or four months ago, great addition. They usually blast soca in the evenings on the weekend, gives it a real Trini feel. There roti is good, doubles good, channa good.
And I actually had their bake & shark and it was pretty good, and if you’ve never tried it, try it, bake & shark is delicious. if you eat oxtail or baby back ribs, please don’t say «o it’s shark.» It’ s a big fish. simple
Try them out.
