Ali's Roti Review

I've been going to Ali's for their roti for the past 15 years or more. Their chicken and goat roti are very tasty. They offer enough flavour and sauce, as well as a great house-made hot sauce. However, when I recently tried the oxtail soup, I found it completely unpalatable. The little pieces of oxtail were gristly, the meat was chewy, and just plain old tasting. The broth was "off" probably from the old pieces of meat. Also, the soup lacked the body, substance, and ingredients of a typical Caribbean soup. Instead, it was strangely overrun with an abundance of potatoes, celery, and carrots. Caribbean soup must have dumplings, cassava, edo, sweet potato, yam, and/or green plantain in it.
Needless to say, I am remiss to try anything else at Ali's ever again!
