What is that quaint old-fashioned building
in George Hill that has been repainted
yellow with pink and turquois shutters?
It is Mala's Cottage, a new enterprise by
Heather James to provide Indian-vegetarian local dishes in the
Caribbean style.
Heather used to run the
Roti Hut across
the street in a
grounded food truck, but she now has a dining room,
a kitchen with glass viewing window, and porch with a full bar.
The menu is similar to the Roti Hut, but expanded. Each day the cook prepares main courses: Chicken, both boned and boneless, goat, Conch-seafood, and Biganee (vegetarian fish) and many vegetable dishes: Carnival rice, Curry potato, Curry Mango, and Steamed pumpkin. To place your order, you decide if you want a Roti-bake suitable for fast food/takeaway, or a more substantial meal plate. Roti bakes consist of one main course plus one vegetable in an Indian-style "tortilla". A meal plate consist of one entree plus two vegetables plus either rice or a side roti. Prices for Roti's are EC$10 to EC$14, full meals EC$15 or more, extra vegetables EC$1.50 each.
If you stop by, be sure to try the Fresh Local Fruit juices, made from whatever is in season. Heather had made papaya juice the day we visited - it was fantastic! US$2 small and $3 large.
