“ Their food is very good. Their prices are very reasonable. The service is efficient and friendly. The premises are very nice. ”
“ Delicious and authentic Trini food! You have to get the doubles, best doubles in the US comparable to back home. Chicken roti was good, good size. Very friendly, literally made it feel like home (says my trini husband) definitely check them out! ”
“ I'd heard about Boston "hospitality" but figured it wouldn't hold me back from driving the 5 hours up from New Jersey to try the famous Singh's Rotis. Sure enough, I was treated to some no nonsense attitude, instructed what to order, take a seat, and wait for my food. I did feel dissuaded to ask too many questions, but beyond that the service was actually very much like coming home, as if to your tough uncle who actually loves you very much and will make sure you're well fed and taken care of. The owner and I chatted about our backgrounds, our tastes in food, and when the food did come out, he explained how to eat it best and gave me some extra sauce. And the food is BOMB. Totally worth the drive up. The roti is chewy, richly fried, slightly sweet, and decadent for every bite. The curried chick peas inside are the perfect filling. I imagine that on a frigid Boston night this combo would fill you up with warmth like nothing else. The Veggie Deluxe is a good wholesome meal with its lightly saiteed and seasoned mixed veggies, but at the end of the day, the simple no frills Double is all that's needed. While you'll probably grab the roti to eat on the go, the shop itself is spacious clean and has a nice traditional vibe. You can kick back and enjoy your roti while listening to some Desi tunes ”
“ If you're looking for some good Caribbean food in the Dorchester area, I definitely suggest stopping by. I've only had good experiences coming here, especially when interacting with the owner. The owner is super friendly and the ambiance is amazing. This is a good spot if you're looking for authentic Trinidadian food. I definitely recommend trying curry beef plate if you stop by or beef patties. ”
“ Food is just like my mommy's!! Just don't tell her lol. Made with love. Had both types of Rotis- yum!! Been a couple of times. Doubles are the best! Had the curry chicken and curry goat, pumpkin, chana and pholourie- you have to try! I prefer more of a dominan or Jamaican style of oxtail as it's more spicy than the trini style. But still good. Live about an hour north but when we visit family in Boston we always make a stop before heading back. Keep in mind buss up shut roti is huge!! Please this a try you won't regret it. ”
“ Family and I drove 2 hrs one -way from Connecticut to Boston for Mr Singh's. Tears came to my eyes when the doubles hit my mouth- thank you Jesus!! Amongst us, besides the doubles, we had boneless chicken roti, pholourie and some paratha roti washed down with 2 Solos- banana and cream soda. Finished up with some currant rolls for the road. Bought an obscene amount to come back and freeze 'til the next trip. Worth the distance- food was eating nice- we'll be back! ”
“ My first time trying trini food. I ordered doubles, macaroni and cheese pie, and chicken roti. The bread for the doubles and roti tasted really fresh. It was soft and pillowy. The doubles are very unique in flavor with a little bit of everything, savory, sweet, tangy. The roti said it comes with 2 sides inside the roti, but they weren't included. Also the first piece of chicken I got was really dry, like it had been forgotten in a fryer for a while dry, but the rest of the chicken was well cooked and moist, falling apart. The macaroni pie is dense but delicious, lovely crispy cheese crust. I really enjoyed it. The delivery was very well packaged, with lots of care and the food arrived fast and hot. This is the kind of food you'll get a craving for. I'd eat this food again! ”
“ We were attending a show at the strand theatre across the street and wanted to grab a bite to eat beforehand. The employees were very friendly and answered our questions about the food before ordering. We went with the chicken curry and rice which was a good size for the price. We also tried their mango lassi which was good! It's made fresh and bottled for convenience. The menu has a variety of options for everyone. Overall a good quick spot. ”
