Royal Baker and Roti House. Awesome Caribbean spot on Nostrand, about 10 min walk from the place. They serve traditional "doubles", which is a delicious blend of chickpeas + spices served in a fluffy piece of fried bread (only $1.50 each!). Their rotis are HUGE, and also great. Note: this place is takeout only
