| - Everything about Drupati's makes me happy - what it lacks in fancy furnishings, it definitely makes up for with lively calypso music, cheerful staff and lots of happy patrons!
My boyfriend and I ordered 2 doubles (just as good as the ones in Trinidad! and a great deal at $1.50 each) and a mini goat roti shortly before closing on a Saturday evening. Service was quick and the food was hot and delicious. The staff were extremely helpful while we debated their complicated menu that is packed with various specials, different-sized curries, regular rotis, mini rotis, parathas, dhalpouri, rotis with and without rice, callaloo, fried bake ..... so many options, so little time!
I returned later on a Sunday afternoon for take-out and judging by the crowd, Drupati's is extremely popular! This time, we tried the regular chicken roti, mini shrimp roti and a plain paratha - everything was great. Despite the crowd, my wait time was perfectly acceptable. Their pricing is reasonable ($8-9) for a regular rice/roti dish though I feel their curry servings are on the slightly smaller side.
I would definitely return in the near future, particularly for the doubles and shrimp roti. I also want to try the bake and shark and some of the fun Trinidadian juices when I come back next - they seem to be popular items judging from other orders I overheard. I look forward to eating here again extremely soon!
