2 reviews for Joy's Roti Delight
This place was a bit hard to find. It is on the outside corner of I believe the South entrance of Lauderhill mall.
I love Roti's and haven't had one for years, which is why I went out of my way to find this place.
I had the beef roti. It was huge. I have to say almost too big. Most Roti's are meant for eating by hand, but this was so big that it grew more and more difficult. They didn't offer knife, fork nor plate, so be sure to ask for that as you may very well need it.
The curry beef inside was succulent and delicious. The roti itself was I believe of the Dhal type with a very thin layer of lentils inside. I'm sure unrolled the Roti probably measured 2 feet, which I think is a bit excessive as they had to fold it what seems like hundred times to pack it into the rolled up shape.
This was pretty much the only problem. While there was a lot of filling in the Roti, there was still proportionally too much bread. As I said the Roti itself was good and not dry at all, but still it was the only problem.
Next time I have to try the doubles and a few of the other menu items, that I haven't got a clue what are.
They have all the standard Caribbean sodas and beers. As well as a good collection of Soca and Chutney music for sale.
Authentic Trini food but very noisy and a less than reputable/class clientle. The doubles are a bit pricey for some flour and chick peas...but the pepper sauce makes it worth the venture into this shady neighborhood. Definitely a hole in the wall atmosphere. They're often selling concert tickets for various Soca and DJ "fetes" but dont take credit cards for em. I had to venture into the mall for an ATM to pay for one of the concerts...which is an experience in of itself (you'll know if you go to the neighborhood). The Paloori is excellent too and best of all they have cold Shandy Sorrell and Carib bottles :-) Goat curry was real good too.
While it isn't quite as good as getting off the plane in Port of Spain and getting doubles at a street vendor, its probably the best Trini food in South Florida. Just wear some headphones to block out the obnoxious speaker noise...and ignore the "bling" aspect to some of the patrons. 4 stars because what matters (the food) is really really good.
