Pan-a-Day Takeaway does a decent Guyanese curried goat and has roti.

I used to go there 1-2x a week, but haven’t been in a couple years since my job moved. The woman who owns it is super cool.

Try the spicy Tamarind sauce she makes in house. It’s so fn good.

I know, used to eat it all the time when I was in Seattle had a great place near my apartment. When I moved back was always looking for a place but never found one.

Since I hate going to Boston, I just go to alis whenever I have to go to the city with a cooler lol, get like 6 meals bring them back and put them in my chest freezer. They freeze well. Still got like 3 meals right now from when I went in November.

How about some doubles? Haven’t had them in 15 years.

Pan-a-day at the corner of Westminster/Parade. Camilla is the best!

Don't know of any Trini but Flame's is a go to for Jamaican (some of the best jerk chicken I've had). I believe they do have roti on the menu, but never tried and not sure it's comparable to the Trini style.

The Guyanese roti at Pan a Day is closest to authentic TnT roti I've ever found in New England. Guyana is technically South America but culturally they're more Caribbean than Latin American. Camilla cooks all the good stuff, roti is on Tues/Thurs I think but they've always got good curry, jerk chicken, oxtail etc. The Large plate is like 20 bucks but she loads those plates up. You can feed 3 ppl with a large if you get some sides like Beef Patty or empanadas. Check it out you won't be disappointed!
