We tried Bobbi’s Roti Hut for the first time today. We absolutely love Indian food and love trying food from different cultures, and knowing Guyana has strong Indian influence in its culture, we figured it was bound to be good. We guessed correctly - this place was great! There were the Guyana and Suriname flags flying in the restaurant, so perhaps this place sells both Guyanese and Surinamese food. Regardless, it was really hearty and flavorful! Bobbi’s Roti Hut does have seating inside, so you can eat at the restaurant, but I figure more people just order take-out. We dined in because then we could try the food as fresh as possible!
We got curry chicken, curry goat, seasoned chickpeas and potatoes, fresh roti, cabbage, cooked spinach, and two appetizers: cassava ball and pholourie. We also got a really unique Guyanese drink, Sorrel, and everything was excellent! The curried chicken and goat were fall-off-the-bone and incredibly flavorful. The chickpeas and potatoes were not just boring old starches - they have so many great seasonings in them. Even the cabbage and spinach was good…and I don’t even like those vegetables normally! The appetizers were awesome (be sure to dip them in the sauces they come with), and the Sorrel drink was so, so good! Not only was the food great, the lady working behind the counter was so nice. She was so kind and patient, giving us samples and explaining everything to us. What a great experience in all aspects!
If you’re coming here for the first time, try the pholourie, either goat or chicken curry, and get the chickpeas and potatoes on the side. If you want a drink, try the Sorrel but be sure to ask for a sample of the Mauby drink because you might like that one more! Bobbi’s Roti Hut is a 10/10 - it’s a great addition to the Clermont/Oakland area! We will definitely be returning when we are...
Read moreToday me and my mom came here an hour after they were open there was nobody in side I assume they’re slow around that time. But they had good music playing seemed a bit spacious inside very quiet, music not too loud and amazing customer service the lady that helped me and my mom order was very nice and sweet I appreciate her spirit. The food was delicious my mom got overwhelmed with her curry chicken roti it was big filled the whole plate she gets full fast couldn’t even eat half of it. Me the vegan got the potato curry with rice that came with cabbage and mashed sweet potatoes, also I tried their pineapple juice with fresh sugarcane juice it tasted so good I might sound crazy for saying this but I swear it tasted like a apple pie in liquid form, Lol. Next time I need to come back and try the veggie Samosa which they didn’t and I was really looking forward to that but it was recommended to try the Pholourie which comes in a 12pcs for $2.50 and it come with a mango sauce which was so sweet but it complemented the savoriness of the Pholourie I loved it 😍🤤 I would definitely recommend and come back. For those who are vegan they...
Read moreThis place is great. The dining area is clean and spacious, and Bobbi is very friendly and helpful. The rotis here are light, fresh and fluffy, and made with quality ingredients. Seasoning on the meat was excellent. The homemade sorrel was perfectly robust, and not overly sweet like some of the chain brands. Rice pudding was great too.
Lunch portions are extremely generous and offered at great prices.
Ignore the bad review that was left 5 days before this one. The reviewer seems to not understand this type of food. Rotis must be eaten hot, ideally. Also, Caribbean food does not have to be salty to be delicious. Appropriate use of spices and seasonings negates the need to over-salt food. The food is most certainly not overpriced as the reviewer suggested, in fact, the prices are lower than most roti shops.
Overall, Bobbi's Roti Hut is wonderful. Even if you've never tried Guyanese food before, I would highly recommend it. They provide an excellent example of what this type of food should taste like. Veterans of Caribbean food will be very happy here as well.
Great prices, and wonderfully...
