St. Mary's Street, St. John’s Roti King proprietor Mr Ajim Tahir may have his roots in Trinidad, but he arrived in Antigua in 1967, where he started in business with a mobile shoe store. Many of those same customers patronize Roti King today, even if their shoes have long since worn out. Roti King serves a combination of Caribbean and Indian cuisine in the form of fine Trinidadian fare to excite your taste buds. Their speciality dish is the traditional Roti - made with a curried filling of either beef, chicken, shrimp, conch or vegetables, mixed with spiced potatoes and wrapped in a floured chapatti.
Other Trini bites include ‘Doubles’ made with a curried chickpea filling, fried bakes (Caribbean styled dumplings), and the lightly seasoned potato pie (aloo pie) - add to this a little tamarind sauce for a sweet and tangy snack. Daily local lunches, burgers, fries and delicious homemade local juices add to the choice, making this an ideal stop to refuel throughout the day. A great venue for vegetarians. “Savour da flavour” of the full Trini experience here in Antigua! Open Mon-Thurs 9:30am-12:30am and until 2:30am Fri and Sat.

One Stone Ital Shack 2 Branches: Independence Avenue, Opp. Country Pond, St. John’s - Cobbs Cross, English Harbour, St. Paul's Shoy Southwell, better known as One Stone has been in the business of providing top class ital-style vegetarian food to the public of Antigua and Barbuda for 10 years. Business began simply because Shoy loved to cook and recognised the niche of providing good healthy food to the public. The business began from a strong foundation, out of his mother’s kitchen. He started with a friend who was also a cook and who is no longer with the business, but is credited as a founding member.
“We began by doing Ital food, which is coconut milk food”, says Shoy. He feels strongly that One Stone has revolutionized the taste of Ital food. “People would come from all over the island just for a taste of our food. Tourists to the island literally tracked down the restaurant just to experience our delicious vegetarian foods”. One taste of One Stone's food and any misconceptions go out the window. The food is delicious, good for you. It will be an instant hit if you're trying it for the first time.
