Cooked on the Bone
Kitchen note
Bone-in goat gives the curry its depth. It takes longer and it is more work to portion, but the sauce is a different dish without it.
Curry goat and roti is Caribbean cooking at its most generous — bone-in goat simmered in island curry until it falls apart, then wrapped in a soft, pliable roti that soaks up every bit of the sauce. It is one of the signature orders at Bikkles N’ Tings Caribbean Eatery in Edmonton.
Caribbean curry is its own thing. It leans on allspice, thyme and scotch bonnet alongside the curry powder, so the result tastes warm and herbal rather than sweet or heavy. Goat is the cut it was built for — cooked on the bone so the marrow enriches the sauce, and simmered long enough that the meat pulls apart without effort.
Wrapped in roti, it becomes a meal you can eat with your hands; on a plate with rice and peas, it eats like Sunday dinner. Either way it is the dish we point first-time guests toward when they ask what to try, right alongside the oxtail plate.
The roti wrap folds the curry goat into soft flatbread so it travels easily and eats one-handed — the better pick for a lunch break or a walk back to the office. The plate serves the same curry over rice and peas with a side, which suits a sit-down dinner or a bigger appetite. The curry itself is identical.

What to expect
The roti is soft enough to fold and sturdy enough to carry a heavy curry without tearing halfway through lunch.
Order your way
Take it as a wrap for speed or as a plate with rice and peas for a full dinner — the curry is the same either way.
It is goat simmered in Caribbean curry with allspice, thyme and scotch bonnet until the meat is tender. The style is warmer and more herbal than South Asian curries, and it is traditionally served with rice and peas or wrapped in roti.
Yes. We cook it on the bone because that is where the richness in the sauce comes from. Let us know when you order if you would like it portioned a particular way.
It sits around medium — warm and aromatic rather than punishing. Pepper sauce is available on the side if you want to take it further.
