D Hot Shoppe brings extraordinary flavours from Trinidad & Tobago to Burlington. Their spicy selection of Caribbean foods all come from original family recipes sure to satisfy.
D Hot Shoppe’s speciality and most popular menu item are their Rotis. Your choice of meat and potatoes are drenched in curry and wrapped with a soft, flavourful Roti flatbread. This deliciously sloppy mixture is the perfect way to spice up your day. Just make sure you’re prepared to get your hands dirty, as it’s going to get quite messy.
If you want something a little less messy, then you can never go wrong with a beef patty. D Hot Shoppe’s patties are perfect to eat on the go for a quick, delicious lunch.
If you’re looking for something by the bone, D Hot Shoppe serves both Jerk Chicken and Oxtail. Try it on rice with a side of fresh coleslaw or plantains! Their Jerk Chicken is spiced up, juicy, and just waiting to be bitten into.
Jerk chicken is famous for its deliciously blended flavour. An authentic Jamaican dish, a piece of thigh and drumstick is thrown into a perfect blend of seasonings and then slow-cooked over pimento wood. Jusjerk Caribbean Restaurant’s mission is to bring this amazing cuisine from the beaches of Jamaica to Burlington.
Jerk seasoning turns an originally bland tasting chicken into an incredibly abundant blend of flavours. This style of preparing chicken is famous because of that taste. But, what if I told you that it’s not just chicken which holds that flavour? That’s right, the image below is Jusjerk’s jerk pork. The classic jerk rub usually infused onto the meat of chicken has now been applied to pork.
When it comes to Caribbean foods, jerk chicken would be the first things you’d think of. The second thing you’d think of would probably be rice & peas. Below is Jusjerk’s Rice & Peas with Goat Curry. The curry enhances the rice so that every bite is to savour. This is a must try if you’re a fan of curry.
Jamaican Patties are flaky, buttery, and jam-packed with savoury meats inside. It’s a perfect meal if you’re looking for something to take on the go for a quick lunch. Jusjerk’s patties are made fresh out of the oven to give you that fresh taste with a crisp crust and a flavourful filling.
Kori’s Roti has been serving passionately made authentic Trinidadian cuisine for almost forty years. If you’re looking for a taste of the Caribbean, this is THE place to go in Oakville.
Before you order at Kori’s, we’ll have to warn you about their spice levels. There are eight levels on their pepper scale, starting from mild and ending with suicide. Most customers tend to go for a touch or touch+, which are just a couple levels above mild. Go beyond that territory and may find yourself really struggling – we’re speaking from experience.
Every Roti shop has a different recipe, and Kori’s has a hint of Indian taste in theirs. Each Roti has potatoes and a choice of chicken, beef, goat or shrimp that is doused in a curry-like sauce and wrapped with flaky paratha flatbread. This combination results in an explosion of flavours with each bite. Size options include Full Size and Small (which is about 3/4 of the full-size).
If you’d prefer something a little less messy, you can try one of their rice dishes. The choice of meat is the same as the options for Roti, with the additions of Jerk Chicken, Mixed Vegetable, Chick Pea, and Pumpkin. The image below is a big Full Size Chicken Rice Dish. If you’re looking for a lighter lunch, you could choose to get the Half Size option instead.
Finally, what would a Caribbean restaurant be without Jamaican Patties? Kori’s is partnered with Michidean’s classic authentic Jamaican Patties. If you’re looking to quickly snatch a delicious bite, these are perfect.
Kori’s Roti is a friendly restaurant with delicious Trinidadian food – there’s no wonder why they’re so popular. It’s a super popular lunch spot – just be sure to check their operating hours before making your way to Speers Road.
Just a few streets east of Sixth Line on the North Service Road, you’ll find a little Jamaican restaurant in an unassuming plaza. Initially, Oakville’s first Jamaican restaurant, this flavourful Caribbean take-out destination recently celebrated 20 years. Of course, they serve Jerk Chicken, but their menu is also rich with variations of Roti (goat, shrimp, chicken, veg, and chickpea), sides (like Plantains and Cocobread – coconut milk bread that’s savoury and a little sweet), plus a selection of full meals, soups, stews, and even Jamaican sodas. This family-run business helpins with cooking, serving, and anything else needed, which is part of their recipe for success. For a full-flavour meal with a family touch, don’t miss Irie.
