As soon as news was received that a prospective new member of 100 Black Men of London, Damian George, had a connection in a roti shop, President Elect saw it as his urgent duty to find out if the roti shop was worthy of a Presidential stamp of approval... Despite it being over 1 hour journey from me, I took on the epic challenge to reach Hilltop Roti in West Ealing. And fortunately for me, it was not only worth the journey, it meant my weekend started with a fantastic Friday! From the minute I walked in, I was warmly greeted and felt instantly at home, like I was dropping in on family. Although no doubles were available with pholourie on the menu, for me it was to be the perfect starter. Worth the wait as it was cooked, this version with extra spice in the tamarind sauce was truly exceptional and full of flavour. My ginger squash to wash it down, was the perfect accompaniment. As I enjoyed the very generous portion size, little was I to know that it would affect my ability to manage my Ital roti... Whilst on some occasions in life Size 'May' Not matter, when it comes to the art form of eating roti, especially after one has had a generous portion of pholourie, size DOES certainly matter! Especially when you factor in the E-P-I-C size of the rotis at Hilltop!!! So my Ital roti was presented and to say it packed a punch would be an understatement. Callaloo, channa, pumpkin and potatoes are the usual ingredients, but President Elect asked for shrimp to be added (as they ran out of channa). So my Ital became a bespoke item worthy of any President! I have had many a roti in my youthful life, however, I can honestly say I have not had one so full of FLAVOUR! Right through! And with a portion of delightful pepper available, I was able to regulate the heat on my roti, as and when I wished! This epic roti was twice the size of rotis I have previously bought! When I got half way through with a smile on my face, I was fully satisfied and content, but what kind of MAN only eats half a roti? So with another tasty ginger squash for assistance I attacked the 2nd half of the roti and also sampled some of the tender full flavour of the mutton roti of my dining partner! In the end I decided to graciously accept defeat with a very small peice left on my plate. So I guess I will be obliged to return to prove myself! Minor flaw: there was no soca playing when I visited! Overall summary; Hilltop is a place you can sit down for 2 hours and enjoy delicious, fresh, FULL FLAVOUR Trini food, excellent value for money, with excellent customer service, (plus, you can bring your own alcohol, too!) A MUST VISIT place, thoroughly recommended by 100 Black Men of London President Elect! #HilltopTopClassRoti

I loved my curry chicken roti, first time I had it delivered but I needed to know where the shop was exactly situated. As I walked up I could smell the sweet aroma of roti, the staff was polite, the portion is generous and worth the £6, I intend to try all of the roti's
