the Guyanese roti caravan on Brixton Station Road

[choochi]

The Roti shack lady is back up and running again, albeit now serving up at 1 Brixton Station Road (leading to the sports centre) in a chicken shop called Chicksey's...It's as good as ever though, I was so overjoyed to see her food that I had 2 last night, 1 upon arrival and 1 before I got back on the tube. Saltfish and Spinach is the one.

Makes me wish I still lived in Brixton, best food in London I have ever had, especially as it's only £3.50.

Completely agree about the saltfish and spinach roti. They are so delicious. I've not actually been in there since she moved from under the station though, so a visit is long overdue!

I was in Brixton yesterday bemoaning the fact that I didn't know where she is. Mixed veg is the best roti everrrrrr.

Second that.

that chicken-shop has closed down I see.....anyone spotted her popping up somewhere else?

I was in Brixton yesterday for a dentist appointment, went to get a roti and ended up hugely disappointed (and hungry)

I bumped into her on Brixton Road last week. She is possibly going to take up space in the new jacket potato (Blacka Jacks) place in the old Blacka Dread shop. In the meantime you might be able to find her in the old spot on Station Road, sans caravan. Kind of like a pop up, very on trend ;-)

I think you are right - it was Bon Ton Roulet, and was then replaced by RotiRoti, and is now that photographic studio. And I think that the owner of the photographic studio was a business partner or part owner of both RotiRoti and BTR. I used to buy rotis there until the mid-late 90s I think. They were huge and overflowing with brilliant curry. Those were the days...the Hamilton Arms was still open, Pullens was Restaurant Provencal (and actually French in cuisine) and 3 Monkeys (as was) was a bank!

My aunty ran the Bon ton Roulet and then moved onto Paddy's place I believe. If you guys can tell me anything else about the Bon ton Roulet that would be fab.
