Ordering Strategy

Order at least two doubles to eat immediately on the pavement (scoop and scoff), and take a roti home for a second meal.

What to order

Safe first

Doubles

The 'unanimous must-order' and a classic street food consisting of 'ridiculously tasty' fried bread filled with curried chickpeas.

Hungry

Curry Goat Roti

Described as an 'absolute unit' and 'one of the heaviest lunches' around, this 'HUGE' wrap is a 'double-carb-whammy' of tender meat and potatoes.

Wildcard

Macaroni Pie

A heavy 'brick' of pasta and cheese covered in sweet and spicy tamarind sauce.

What to skip

Skip
Tamarind BallsDescribed as 'evil things' and 'horrifying' due to the intense way the 'sour sweetness and sweet sourness scraped our tongues'.

Good to know

This is primarily a takeaway operation with very limited counter seating. The Finsbury Park location is inside Nag's Head Market.
