ISO Roti

[Anonymous]

My toddler checked out a book from the library that features roti, the round bread in Indian and other cuisines. Does anyone have a suggestion for a restaurant where we could get roti? I think I’m looking for an Indian restaurant, not Caribbean, because that’s where the story takes place.

Does the chain restaurant Roti actually serve roti?

Go to the freezer section of an Indian grocery store.

Roti, the restaurant, does not serve Indian rotis, as it is mediterrean restaurant. They pitas and used to have lavash at some point. There are many Indian restaurants in the area.
Where do you live OP, maybe we could suggest something closer to you.

You can find them in the freezer section of Indian stores like Patel Brothers. Sometimes they have fresh ones in store as well, but those might be made in someone's home kitchen.

Indian restaurants like Masala Art, Karahi, etc sell roti.

They're fairly easy to make at home too if you are good with a rolling pin.

Thank you! I live in Silver Spring, but we are willing to drive. Trying new foods after reading about it in a toddler book is apparently a hobby of ours, I guess….

How flex is your kid? Naan is in every grocery store. But I suspect by roti you mean chapati (almost like a thicker South Asian tortilla). Roti just means bread but usually can mean chapati. There’s also naan, piratha, etc.
