Original, good prices, truly spicy, terminally slow, and I am never sure whether I find it tasty. While I love the culture of Trinidad, is their food really so good? It combines Indian and Jamaican spices, and wraps the whole thing into a big bread called a Roti. I always wonder what the bread adds. Your opinion on this one is welcome. I need to be talked into trying it again.
