What Fijian roti is
Soft flatbread cooked on a tawa, eaten with curry.
Fijian roti is listed as a bakery item in the Fiji guide, where the index tags it vegetarian and mild. That is the useful shorthand, but it is not the whole story: the same name can cover a breakfast version, a street version and a restaurant version with different garnishes and prices.
Where to find Fijian roti
Fijian roti is listed as nationwide rather than tied to one city, so it is a safe thing to look for wherever you land in Fiji. Bakeries sell out early, so go in the morning and follow the queue rather than the signboard.
