| - I wanted to love Vena's or, at the very least, like it... but after having their goat roti this afternoon, I've got to say I'm unimpressed.
The dough was very nice, that much is true -- excellent roti. The filling, however, was lacking. Large chunks of bland potato, little sauce, and only a few big hunks of meat. Considering it's around the same price as Mother India/Gandhi Cuisine, I was surprised to find it contained maaaaaaaybe 1/4 the meat. Taken together, it was a bland, dryish meal of largely dough and potato. Meh.
It was accompanied by a little plastic cup of watery sauce that smelled of potent white vinegar and nothing else. I pitched it -- the smell was very off putting. Not sure what it was supposed to be.
Finally, about fifteen minutes post-roti, my stomach began to hurt. Still hurts, and I'm very bloated. T.M.I? Maybe, but I'm sure inquiring Yelpers want to know when food doesn't sit well.
If it weren't for this last bit I'd have given it 2 stars, with the intention of going back another time (it was the gentleman working, and I hear his wife makes the superior roti)... due to the stomach ache, however, I'm heaping on but a single, lonely, bloated star, and likely will not return.
Sorry, Vena's :(
