What rubbish - West Indies, wraps etc. mate India food dates back thousands of yrs and certain vegetables ( tomatoes, potatoes etc )were not native to India but spices and style of cooking are very Indian. Indians may have migrated to west indies and started putting veges in their rotis for ease ( my mum did the same for us as kids in our lunch boxes ) which doesnot equal it originated from West indies. Furthermore There is nothing called curry ( thanks to the Brits it's a blanket name for everything Indian and it is bloody annoying - its like calling everything Italian. pasta ) Kari not curry is a spice used in the cooking. vindaloo ( hardly known or eaten in India ) is a Portuguese dish not Indian yet the world over is called indian - go figure!

I assume this has been pointed out, but I will try to explain. While the Roti and Curry originate from India, they have been adapted and modified in the Indies. This place seems to be selling a hybrid of the roti curry from the West Indies. The girls in the video were talking about a WI curries while what Lucas ate was Indian curries in WI style. All a bit confusing so no fault of Lucas. Another point on the Roti this place seems to be using is not quite the WI roti which is closer to a Roti Canai or Murtabak. Anyhow, always a pleasure to watch these videos.

Hey Lucas! great video! I am from India and everything looked delicious, btw you are right about the rotis you got there, we have similar butter chicken and korma recipes here in India, but the rotis we eat are not what you got at Gandhi's; we eat smaller versions of these at home, and are made with ground wheat (atta) and not with all purpose flour; but ya when we eat out, we get tandoori rotis made out of a more refined all purpose flour, all in all. great video! thanks for covering Indian Food!

You know nothing about India. You mixed up Native Americans (what Columbus thought and called Indians) versus real Indians from INDIA. Even the history or whatever you explained was totally wrong. INDIANs were never International slaves. Whatever existed was punishment for civil crimes that landed them in Kala Pani (Andman island. Go take your AP World again, you would have failed if you take that exam now.

This host needs to stay behind the camera. boring, no passion, no prep, just makes up false information as he goes. It's Indian food from India! The owners are Indian. just because some millennials who say things like I'm from West Indian eat there doesn't make them experts. Fly Sheldon in to do these reviews, a million times more interesting and passionate about the food and the people behind the dishes.

Roti literally translates to bread in multiple languages. It may have taken of a particular connotation in the Caribbean but many times as many people worldwide use the word to simply mean bread. Also, the Indians who moved from the subcontinent to the Caribbean weren't technically slaves. They were indentured servants meaning they had more legal standing and weren't property like slaves.

Indian workers in the west indies were brought in after slavery was abolished, as a way of replacing the lost free labour. They were paid little, and treated poorly, but they were not slaves, please don't refer to them as that. side note. Trinidadian roti is rapped in a different way, you'll should come try it
