The date

Trini To D Bone is a tiny, family-run Burnside kitchen that refuses to make things easy, which is exactly the point. The roti is rolled by hand every morning, the curry has simmered since before you woke, and the scotch bonnet arrives at full volume. Order the buss-up-shut, tear it apart, drag it through the curry. Nearly 600 five-star reviews say the honesty lands. Come prepared for heat.

How to do it

This is a tiny family kitchen, so grab one of the handful of tables and order the goat roti in a dhalpuri wrap, the meat falls off the bone and the bread is made fresh, not griddled from a bag. Get the doubles too if they have them (the chickpea-and-pepper street snack first-timers always skip), and ask for the pepper sauce on the side so you can dare each other up the heat ladder. Don't miss the dhalpuri itself; it's the whole point. Mind the early close, they shut at 7pm, and budget a relaxed hour and a quarter.
