Roti in Roffa

Craving Surinamese food? Here’s where to get the very best roti in Rotterdam.

At some of these places you can sit down as well as order takeaway; at others, takeaway is the only option.

Ka-yin
Not a cozy spot, but the food is fantastic. The freshest vegetables, very friendly service and incredibly cheap. You can get very good roti here, but also try the tjauwmin. According to many, it’s the best dish on the menu.

Roopram
Go for a roti with duck and a can of Fernandes and your evening is complete. You can sit down here, but the place can hardly be called cozy, so takeaway is the way to go.

Rotiland
As a vegetarian, you can have roti cravings too, of course. Rotiland is your friend. The vegetarian roti is good and it’s a huge portion. Besides this vegetarian roti, they have 30 other roti dishes—plenty of choice. Add a bara on the side, and you’ll leave with a very full stomach.

FavorFlav’s Esther’s favorite in this bright, neat restaurant is the chicken roti, but you’re also in the right place here for goat roti. The baras are the best in all of Rotterdam and the surrounding area. The homemade sambal is delicious too.
