Singh's Roti Shop 2 opens beachside Caribbean restaurant in Revere

The License Commission Meeting held on February 19, 2025, in Revere City, Suffolk County, Massachusetts, addressed several key applications for licenses that could impact the local dining scene.

The meeting commenced with a discussion regarding the Perciado Brothers, LLC, doing business as La Cantina, which sought a change of hours for their establishment located at 480 Broadway. However, representatives from La Cantina were not present, leading the commission to table this item and proceed to the next agenda point.

The commission then reviewed an application from Bridal Budhu Singh for a common victualist license for Singh's Roti Shop 2, located at 76 Revere Beach Boulevard. Singh, who has 22 years of experience in the restaurant business, expressed excitement about bringing Caribbean cuisine to Revere, including dishes from Trinidad, Tobago, Jamaica, and Barbados. The proposed hours for the restaurant are Sunday through Saturday, from 11 AM to 9 PM, with a seating capacity of 16. The commission members showed enthusiasm for the venture, noting the lack of similar offerings in the area. After a brief discussion and no opposition from the public, the commission unanimously approved the application.

Next, the commission considered a transfer application for Kelly's Roast Beef, located at 410 Revere Beach Boulevard. The new management, represented by Lisa Whiteman and Jim Ratai, assured the commission that the establishment would maintain its current operations and menu while making minor improvements. The requested hours for the restaurant are Sunday through Saturday, from 10 AM to 11 PM, with 24 outdoor seats. The commission approved the transfer without any public opposition.

The final item on the agenda involved an application from Gibson Point Restaurant, LLC, doing business as Milas, located at 1 Gibson Way, Suite 131. The proposed establishment seeks an all-alcohol restaurant license, with requested hours from 7 AM to 12 AM, and seating for 89 inside and 50 outside. The applicant, Demick O'Brien, described the concept as a coffee shop restaurant similar to Tradesman in Boston, emphasizing their experience in operating restaurants in the area. The commission did not finalize a decision on this application during the meeting.

In conclusion, the License Commission meeting facilitated significant advancements for local dining establishments, with the approval of Singh's Roti Shop 2 and the transfer of Kelly's Roast Beef, while the application for Milas remains under consideration. The commission's support for these ventures reflects a commitment to enhancing the culinary landscape of Revere.
