Roti is a type of flat-bread but also refers to the popular roti street food which is a wrap-style flatbread around a savory filling.
According to a press release, there will be several proteins available in rotation at Mi Roti including curry goat, grilled lamb, tikka masala, butter chicken, jerk chicken sweet potato and chickpea curry, curry shrimp and stewed lentils with potatoes available.
The Jerk Shack named among Top 16 best new restaurants in U.S.
“I’m on a personal mission to elevate and modernize Caribbean food,” said Blaque. “Trying something different can be scary, but we’re excited to inspire Pearl visitors to try roti as a wrap or with our rice or salad bowls. Our ‘you pick’ option menu invites you to explore and create the flavors you enjoy most, you can mix them or keep your flavors simple.”
Mi Roti will open later this month but an exact date has not yet been announced. The new restaurant will occupy the space where Maybelle’s Donuts used to be.
