PALATE-PLEASING sensations of Roti Wraps n More

- Rocheda Bartley/Gleaner Writer rocheda.bartley@gleanerjm.com

DAVID NELSON got bored of traditiona­l meal options, so he started on a flavoursom­e venture, resulting in Roti Wraps n More.

The eatery on Parkington Plaza opened its doors less than a week ago. Previously, they operated as a home-based enterprise that delivered tasty and healthy alternativ­es in and around the Kingston and St Andrew area. Nestling comfortabl­y at the new location, Nelson assures his customers that they can expect the same great flavours and service. He told Food

that sacrificin­g quality is never an

option when it comes to satisfying food lovers. Newcomers, too, are also being urged to prepare themselves to indulge in worthwhile savoury moments.

“You can call roti a ‘Trini’ thing, but I think it’s Caribbean. As a regional heritage, I think it’s something good to delve into. We’re not the only place that offers roti. But it’s different from the traditiona­l rice and peas that you get almost everywhere, hence it remains relevant. I know a lot of people want something different and we want to fill that gap,” Nelson said.

WHAT TO EAT

The menu is spectacula­r and boasts a number of delicious options. Curried shrimp, chicken, goat, chickpeas and other vegetarian and vegan choices are just a few appetising choices, and the roti and wraps are made in-house by Nelson.

Pastas, too, are available. In fact, Nelson is inviting food explorers to try one of the bistro’s favourite, curried shrimp alfredo pasta, served with garlic bread – the one-of-a-kind option is a filling delight that ceases conversati­ons with its great taste.

Every day is a joyful food frenzy at Roti Wraps n More. Ensure that you ask about the menu’s special. An exciting treat could be on the list that you’ll surely enjoy.

“The food culture in Jamaica is expanding and changing rapidly. It’s fun food and the restaurant is a place for everyone. Our offerings are also wholesome, so you still get your nutrients from each bite,” Nelson said.

Hurry and get your mouthful of goodness from Roti Wraps n More.
