When the roti crav-
ing strikes - and it will - Singh's will satiate with its multiple meat and tofu varieties. The
steamy, four-table joint also serves shrimp, conch, goat, turkey and tofu stews - all while

to the items in the display case that you want, and staff will heap it on. Singh's caters to a
constant flow of locals for takeaway.
