Even better, and closer to the Prospect Park station, is Lenny's. It is a hole-in-the-wall on Washington Ave. just north of Lincoln Road where Washington runs into Flatbush.

There are also great doubles at A&A on Nostrand Ave. near Fulton St.

just ate there a few weeks ago (the Flatbush shop),and they are amazing! If you've got a bit more of an appetite, they'll stuff it with meat or chicken if you like as well...my chicken with chick pea double hit the spot!

I have been getting Ali's on Flatbush for lunch about once a week for a while now, after a coworker taught me how to eat roti "correctly"; with the fingers! You really have to dig in there and get yourself messy.

Their chicken roti is quite good, however I don't recommend their goat as I have had much better.

Let's see the look on the cashier's face when I order me "two doubles with chicken" next time.

And don't forget peanut punch as a drink. It's almost like a peanut butter pie in liquid form.

Ali's is the best roti shop in Brooklyn, both shops (Flatbush & Utica) pretty much nail it in terms of similarities to roti in T&T. I do wish they put mango in it like they do down in T&T, but the soya chunks are a nice addition.
