Tassa Roti Shop is a Trinidadian roti shop located in Marietta, one of Atlanta’s largest suburb. It was established in February of 2006 by self-taught food creator and passionate entertainer Radihika (Ria) Edoo.

This was my first trip to Atlanta, GA, and had no clue about their Trinidadian food scene. So I reached out to my trini friend who lives in Atlanta. Sometime last year she coincidentally linked me with a roti shop in the Baltimore area.

Tassa Roti Shop surpassed my expectations. I imagined the roti shop would be similar to the ones up north by being located in a storefront or a plaza setting. However, when I arrived there, it was in a residential area with a home atmosphere. While waiting, “Tassa’s Wall of Fame” instantly caught my attention. There was a section filled with pictures of celebrities who visited the roti shop which became their go to spot (When yuh big yuh large).

My friend arrived with her friend who never tasted trini food. I got a shrimp roti (dhalpuri) and they got curry chicken with buss up shot (paratha). We chose to sit outside and enjoy the good Peach weather. While waiting on our food, we discussed why trini food is the best in the world. This was obviously a conversation for the textbooks…haha. When the food was ready, our eyes lit up to see the huge portions. The food was tasty and it definitely made me feel at home in Georgia.

I recommend Tassa Roti Shop. Get the dhalpuri or the buss up shot roti, you wont regret it.
