Singh’s Roti Delight

Singh’s Roti Delight sits at 4301 North State Road 7 in the Shops at Oriole Estates, directly across the parking lot from Bak A Yaad Cuisine, and it represents a different strand of Caribbean cooking from the Jamaican jerk-and-curry-goat model that dominates much of Lauderdale Lakes’ restaurant row. Roti, a flatbread-wrapped curry dish, traces back to the Indian indentured laborers brought to Trinidad, Guyana and other parts of the English-speaking Caribbean in the nineteenth century, and Indo-Caribbean restaurants like this one occupy a specific and well-established niche within the broader Caribbean food scene of South Florida.

The restaurant is registered with the state as Singh’s Roti Delight, Inc., document number P10000073167, an active Florida corporation whose filing year, 2010, matches almost exactly the sixteen years in business the directory listing reports, giving this profile an unusually clean piece of corroboration between the business’s own stated history and its state paperwork. Its category listing spans Caribbean and Indian restaurant classifications along with ethnic grocery and Indian grocery store tags, plus vegetarian, vegan and healthy food designations, pointing to a menu that goes beyond a simple roti counter to include grocery items and a meaningful vegetarian or vegan selection, notable in a cuisine built heavily around meat and seafood curries.

Customer feedback quoted on the business’s Yellow Pages listing is specific rather than generic: one reviewer called it “the best roti in town,” and another wrote that the “roti is always fresh and good” and that the kitchen will “customize your order to fit your taste,” a detail that suggests a counter accustomed to handling special requests around spice level or filling. The restaurant keeps unusually long Sunday hours, opening at 9 in the morning and running until 11:30 at night, later than any other day of the week, which points to Sunday being a significant day for the business, plausibly tied to church and family gathering schedules common in Caribbean immigrant communities.

Sunbiz records show three related, now-inactive entities under similar names, Singh’s Roti Corner Inc, Singh’s Roti Shop LLC and Singh’s & Son’s Roti Shop Inc, suggesting either earlier iterations of the same family business or separate ventures by relatives in the same trade, though the active corporation tied to the North State Road 7 address is the sole currently operating entity found under the Singh’s Roti name. For anyone in Lauderdale Lakes looking for an alternative to the jerk-and-curry-goat template of the city’s Jamaican restaurants, Singh’s Roti Delight offers a distinctly Indo-Caribbean menu just steps from several of the neighborhood’s Jamaican kitchens.
