Curry Tananca specialized in roti and doubles. Chicken roti Goat roti Duck roti Shrimp roti
Visited here for doubles today, had an wonderful experience. The service and food both were top notch. It was a busy time still the girl helped me out with my questions quite peacefully and with a smile. Ended up getting a lot of stuff. Everything was delicious. Must visit
When I tell you that I drove 2 hours just to grab some Roti you know this place is worth it. The Doubles here are phenomenal, the Roti always tastes delicious and there are few places outside of Trinidad that taste this good. Tabanca has always been a home taste for my family and I'm so glad it is still the same. I'll be coming here as long as they're open.
Horrible experience. When we came by to this location we were unaware that drupati’s changed their company name. We ordered our food and when we got inside the car decided to eat the palourie, it’s was not hot or warm at all a bit tough which was a second red flag. First red flag was this company changing their business name. When we got home about a 5 minutes drive we ate our curry chicken roti, it was dryyyyy no sauce it was not hot (fresh) it smelled like freezer food. I will definitely not be returning to this location we didn’t even finish eating our food because of how distasteful it was. The paratha was not cooked properly as well. It smelled like freezer food as well.
So here we are at Curry Tabanca formerly known as Drupati's. I think I prefer the original We bought Doubles, which were similar to Lena's they are sisters after all, but tastier. They both seem to be not putting enough chadon beni in their seasoning. Pholourie was spongy and nice. Loved it. Buss up shut still untouched in freezer so can't comment whether they are 'paratha' or buss up shu🙊 All in all much tastier than Lena's Very clean and inviting atmosphere.
I came here to buy roti and achar. I asked the worker about the shelf life for the achar and she said it won’t go bad for a while. Funny enough I came home only to open my container of achar to find mold in it.
Finally had the chance to pop in to Drupati’s after eyeing them a while. Decided to order their popular ‘Doubles’ and god they taste so yum! Will definitely be visiting soon to try the rest of the menu 🤤
My son really wanted Roti. Usually we head west but today (11/18/2023), we decided - let’s try somewhere new & on the east end, still a-ways from where we live. I read prior reviews like most & decided-this! is the chosen one 🤭 Here is my take: 1/ good idea to order ahead & pick up - was not super busy but we ordered when we got there, took 20 mins. We didn’t mind since we weren’t strapped for time. 2/ Service was ok. Wasn’t a rude experience, but wasn’t super friendly - just “order taking”. 3/ ordered the boneless chicken roti (dal..not paratha) - not a fan of white meat & the curry sauce was not as saucy - however, still pretty yummy! Next time. It’s bone-in cuz I’m sure it would be a tad better. My son liked his. “To each its’ own” 4/ Doubles with tamarind sauce (hot sauce on the side) cuz my kids can’t take heat - was really yummy!! I should’ve ordered more. Always next time (no specials - like buy 5 get 6th free-boooo) 5/ hot sauce (on the side) - is spicy! I loved it. 6/ the size of the chicken roti is - to me - huge! It’s definitely shareable! (See my pics) 7/ ordered a jerk chicken w rice & peas - I would prefer a Jamaican place for that - it’s not bad - just - something missing. I took a couple of bites & was just too full from half a chicken roti & a double 🤭. 8/ if u like tamarind sauce - ask for extra. 9/ u can also register & sign up for points??!!? I didn’t know & got lazy. 10/ I would recommend but order ahead 👍✌️
They have several locations throughout the GTA. Usually get the boneless chicken roti but today, I was craving some doubles. Freedom to pick your level of spicy-ness, choice of cucumber and tamarind sauce. Honestly it was good, the doubles were stretched out a bit but nonetheless, the flavours were complimentary to one another. $3 per Double, picked up 6, not too shabby and doesn’t break the bank. 🏦
Ordered a small tray of phlourie this week, it was bess!!
Doubles are good here.
We tried their doubles and Phulouries with the tamarind sauce recently and loved it.
Excellent food. Good and friendly service
Great food, I had doubles and the salt fish and bake but I was a bit disappointed that they didnt have any Bake and shark at the time. Will I be back? Theres a strong possibility.
Wont be back... probably should consider wrapping and packaging your doubles better... what a mess. And maybe a smile at the front desk also.. good luck.
The doubles are AMAZING!
First time ordering since the name change. I ordered their wedding size party roti and a party platter of curry chicken for my staff meeting....within 10mins of opening up our dinner the chicken was finished the staff RAVED about how delicious it was. Thank you!
Just yesterday bought a chicken roti dry, no sauce not spicy.. have bought before and good, going to rotilicious in future... so update August 24th, tried again, Rotterdam was not cooked gummy, lots of chicken but little sauce... replace the cook.... I have pictures of what I picked up please let me post.
Today we decided to have sada roti, bhaigan choka, fried ochroes, sada roti, and a dhalpouri with pumpkin. The food was absolutely delicious. We both enjoyed every dish and will order this again for sure. Thank you Curry Tabanka. Vegetarian options: The pumpkin, fried ochroes and bhaigan Choka were all totally delicious. Try it!
Overall not a great experience- Boneless chicken roti - dry and flavorless- seemed as if it had been sitting all day. Jerk chicken- meh, I swear I could taste the PC memories of antigo bay in the receipe. Doubles- sloppily put together, have to say they were the best of the order. Pholarie balls- seemed heated up from frozen, definitely not fresh. Wont be returning.
Loved drupatis doubles as they slapped on a nice tamarind sauce . Sad to see them go and hope the new spot can keep up !
Roti to oily
Bought doubles a couple of times in the past 2 weeks and the Chana is hard, so disappointed as drupaties in ajax had the best doubles in my opinion
Lawd!!!! Saturday, May 4th. We ordered curry chicken and curry goat roti, and 2 doubles. The curry chicken was a little dry, and the curry goat was tender, and it tasted good. The doubles were good. This is our first time trying their food. Not again!!! Since Saturday we ordered, we have been on the toilet. The first impression is everything. We cant go back I ate one of the doubles And I offered the other one To my girl shes scared to eat it.
Decided to try the curry chicken n rice. Not enough sauce and chicken, white meat, was very dry....undecided if i will go back Food
Ive tried 2 different dishes there. both delicious staff is always willing to answer questions.
I like them, but u know how it goes, today they good tomorrow they might not be! I had vegetarian roti, truthfully it was not good this time around.
I dont like to give 1 star reviews but I Did not enjoy the food here, something tasted off. Both my son-in-law and myself felt the same way. Not returning here.

I love the doubles from this place, and my daughter enjoys it equally! While I havent tried any other items on their menu, this is the only place I go to get doubles!
Did a takeout order. Front desk said all the food was ready. I asked again if everything was is the bag and the lady confirmed. Drove back home to find 2 dalpuri orders are missing.
Yummy doubles
Ordered online. They did not have a dish that I wanted and never bothered to call me to let me know it wasn t available but waited until I arrived to pick it up to tell me then pretended they didn t have my phone number (included when I signed up to do an online order) When entering the restaurant, the young lady at the counter did not bother greeting me. Just blurted out something that was tough to understand. Asked her to repeat herself three times then told me what name is the order under . They also did not check my order for accuracy and left out a dish. The doubles were good. The curry goat was too salty. The curry chicken was too dry. The bake and saltfish consisted of razor thin pieces of saltfish and looked nothing like the picture on the website. Not a picky eater at all but this was low quality!
Best rotis in the east GTA
My 1st time eating here and food is fantastic. This restaurant offers take out and dining in sit down and eat. Great portion size food and very hot in that food is cook and hot to eat. They have clean washroom. The place is clean. Decorations are simple and wish they could play some music in background. Their menu you can look up. Great carribbean food and drinks here. They offer variety of snacks as well. Lots of parking. Accessible here is great. On public transit bus route.
Food flavor, on point, with the right amount of spices and hot pepper, which made the food tolerable for those who have mild-hot spice tolerances. service was pleasant and food was served fast. Atmosphere was clean. A great experience.
The best double in pickering always fresh Parking: Park at anytime Food : 5/5 |
Not feeling the roti. Tried the pachouni and the tripe wasnt soft. Was not impressed
Roti!!!!
Absolutely the best Caribbean food i Have had in canada. The doubles was authentic and not dry. And on top of that the service was very speedy without compromising the quality of the food. No where else tops Drupati s Ajax!
Love doubles and was driving by and saw the sign. Went in and ordered some regular ones and the ones with chicken. I liked how they ask you if you want spicy or non as we don t eat spice. The doubles were legit, better than the other places I ve tried and the prices are reasonable for the size. Service is quick. Will return to try other foods
Hi, I ordered doubles today and we had specified that one be with Hot Pepper and everything in it and the second one with just Bandanya and Medium Pepper. Both doubles came with No Pepper at all. I did not want to stop eating in the middle and go up to the counter and show them. I was hopeful. But it seems like I can t depend on them to get my order right. We also bought 6 Dhalpuri and 1 wedding size. I hope that is good.
Epic. Just epic.
Place looks like if AI drew food poisoning. Got take out and shared it with a few people, we all got sick. I am not shocked, but next time will not join in on everyone else s poor decisions.
Too hyped
Food was okay. First time trying a double and it was delicious! I ordered takeout and they put some lettuce, tomato and cucumber in the container with jerk and rice and it got very warm and limp. Very spicy even with clicking little spice. Great portion.
Friendly service. Delicious roti
Glad I only asked for my take out paratha boneless chicken to be medium. It s spicy AF. But so good you just power through it
Very bad customer service. Never admits their mistakes. Ive always called in to order and this time the lady would not admit she she got my order wrong. Tasteless doubles
The food was amazing and the doubles are excellent, the service was good as well
Very friendly, very quick and efficient and they make fantastic doubles in roti
Went there the other day and the lady who served me had such a disgusting attitude. She had a grey streak at the front of her hair attitude matched it was as stink as a skunk. Ill never go back to this location, Ill make the drive to Lenas.
Amazing .....
One of my go-to places for lunch, about once every few weeks. I get the chicken roti. I also like the chicken doubles. Nice lady at the counter. There is tables but more like a take out vibe.
Doubles were like crepe and stretched like elastic.
Great customer service wonderful food.
The curry and roti is amazing, highly recommend!
Delicious paratha and curry but I ordered goat and pretty sure I got beef!? Will be back for breakfast sometime!
Always fresh. Always great taste. But 4 stars because I feel like daal poori and paratha has no salt. It s very bland but still taste fresh. I wish they would season it better their paratha and daal poori.
Amazing hospitality and tasty delicious food. We tried Double, Fuluri, Alu Pie, Dalpuri and they gave us complimentary curry to taste. I recommend this restaurant. Vegetarian options: Dalpuri, Double, Fuluri
Ordered their doubles. Delicious experience. Great customer service too, so the experience was even better. Recommended. Will be back again.
Love the Doubles. Would give them 5 stars if the manner in which they dish it up (particularly for a take away) wasn t quite so uncivilized. Impossible to eat without making a huge mess. The amount of sauce they add is never consistent either. It would be great if each roti could be rolled up separately like a wrap with the chana and sauces inside so it doesn t all spill out like it does now.
My favorite roti place - call ahead if you can as its a popular choice. Chicken or goat roti (ask for slight pepper if youre like me)... youll win with either choice.
Really good, you get bang for your buck. The doubles are on point.
goat roti (picture is of half a roti) with dhul was great! tried doubles for the first time and i m converted!
I love the food here! Pulauri is so good! The tamarind sauce is awesome too. Doubles are great tasting but definitely needs to be secured a little better for eating. The dough is stretched out a little too much and the channa spills out of both sides making it very hard to eat. Perhaps seal the sides like other places do. Today I found a hair in my doubles and that was a little gross. Please wear hair nets it s standard restaurant practice for a reason. Won t stop me from coming back but this shouldn t happen again.
I think Drupari has the best doubles in Durham. My favorite is their regular double with chickpea filling. Tried other menu items as well, but nothing exceptional. Its better if you take out from this place.
Delicious Roti and large portion!
Great service!
Cant get enough of Drupatis. Food here is excellent, and the staff are awesome to deal with. If this style food is new to you they will help guide. Jerk chicken, chicken or goat rotis, and doubles, all fantastic.
Delicious doubles and great Trinidad food
The best curry and roti, the-doubles are amazing. Love the food and the cook.
Doubles are so yummy! Highly recommended with their hot sauce!
Tried many places in Durham and east Scarborough since Rolands closed in Pickering. This is our go to place now!!
Came here to order food with co-workers, found cockroaches crawling around. Super disgusted
Best Doubles hands down.. Regular and Chicken or Goat. Great Service
This is my favorite roti place in Durham region. Not too soupy, good amounts of meat and potatoes. Roti shells are top notch.
I can always rely on their food being of great quality and taste. They exceeded my expectations today when they sent a consolation gift with my husband because he told them that I had to cancel my flight to Trinidad due to illness. Thanks for your great food, Trini warmth and kindness.
Good food. Love the doubles.
These are the best doubles I ve ever had! My brother lives in Ajax and I make him bring them to me in St. Catharines when he visits.
Great doubles
This is an excellent place to get your spicy food. The doubles are fantastic. The staff are friendly, helpful and approachable. The store is clean and well lite. I usually have it to go but you can stay and enjoy as well.
Shady Business Double check your receipts when ordering at this place, there could be random extra items that you are charged for. I ordered some dinner for take out and was charged for extra items that I didnt order nor were they in the bag. I noticed too late when I got home and when I called them they stated that if a previous order is in the system that does not get processed it may end up on the next order. Sounds very shady to me, and a sad way to try and earn extra revenue.
One of the main restaurants in Pickering where I get my doubles and parathas from. The doubles are amazing and they offer whole wheat paratha, which isn t available in any other West Indian restaurants I ve visited.
Hair in food lol
Still some of the best doubles and roti in Durham.
Update: Google auto corrected roti to rotisserie and made an error in the original posting. Friendly service. Large portions and a large amount of boneless chicken. We did not put hot sauce on the roti. We had four roti and found that it could have been more seasoned for flavour, without having additional hot sauce. You can have the roti wrapped or with the meat separately from the wrap.
The doubles are my favourite!
Vegetarian options: Chickpeas Parking: Enough parking available Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access
Drupatis used to be our place for doubles. We went a couple weeks ago with someone who is visiting from Trinidad and he said it was the worst doubles he have ever had in life, even the worst doubles man in Trinidad is better than what we got. The Chana was tasteless, hard and crunchy. We also usually buy buss up shut, but this too was disappointing, one paratha was barely enough for 2 people. I dono what they doing, but they gone to the dogs .
Wouldn t recommend spent $80 threw it in the garbage stop franchising ruin the name
Amazing food
Best place to fill your stomach with yummy food and welcoming service.
Very disappointed closing up shop half an hour early
When ever I got my food it s always so fresh and delicious. It s 5 stars all the way for taste. I wish they had a better place for the dine in. And longer closing hours. We r night owls.
Great trini food. Lovely people
Hands down the best doubles I have ever had!! Curry and roti all delicious, too. Wonderful service! We drive from NB to Toronto frequently and stop for doubles every time!
This will be my third time enjoying your doubles, roti and curry! We travelled 12 hrs today and almost missed picking up our order from typical 401 traffic and accidents etc. We were met with smiles and the absolute best feast of doubles any of us have ever had! The thoughtful addition of cassava cake and a coconut cake was just the icing on the cake! We will be back Tuesday to pick up some more to take home! Thanks ever so much!!
Amazing roti and doubles!
Best doubles in town
I cant say anything bad about the place. Best fast food on my current regular route.
always a pleasure to have their food
Had bake and smoked herring! Terrible dry: no veg cooked with it, didn t add pepper sauce like I asked. Horrible! Will never go back
Picked up Shrimp Roti, was not Good at all very Dry and the roti it self had more dal then the stuffing very disappointing I had Roti at the Scarborough location that was amazing Shrimp Roti
Drupati s was fantastic would recommend. the doubles are extremely amazing!
So yummy! Will definitely be back.
Parking: Plaza. Food
I had placed an order over Skip The Dishes not realizing I had place the order for pick-up. I dont drive and the owner called the see if someone was on their way to pick up the order as they were about to close and just wanted to make sure someone was on their way and how far. I explained to her I had thought I had placed the order for delivery and that I dont drive. I felt so awful for the mix-up. She ended up asking for my home address and personally hand-delivering my meal as she was heading my way anyway. NOW THAT IS FANTASTIC CUSTOMER SERVICE! In all my years of using Uber Eats and similar platforms have I ever had this kind of service. Not to mention she gave us a whole bag of phoulari for free! Thank you so much! We will definitely be ordering from you again, cause on top of the great service the food was AMAZING!!! Great flavours!
Always good rotis and doubles.. we mostly get the veg rotis and they are good!!
Server the most rudest.
I ordered a bunch of doubles for a party and they were really good. Im not an expert on them by any means, but they are as good if not better than the others Ive tried and I like that they allow you to choose the spice level. The inside of the place does needs some updating if you wanted to dine in though.
Nice
Great vegies roti. Nice curry flavor.
Great tasting doubles.
We ordered aloo chick pea doubles. There was way too much curry powder on the roti, absolutely no taste in Aloo chana. We also ordered mango doubles. It was full of mango pickles that was not that much edible. Roti was also not completely cooked from the edges. It was our first trial. Never going back.
Doubles are great!!
Friendly and understanding people here. Willing to accommodate to your special requests when ordering. Reasonably priced items.
Call ahead and use their members perks its worth it
I go there for doubles. And it is a must have for me whenever I go to Ajax.
Good food when you want to do the curry meal. My Trini wife likes it and shes pretty particular about these things. Give it a try you wont be disappointed. Not much of a place to dine in at, but you can if you like that sort of thing.
Great service, friendly and polite staff . Amazing food and prices are very reasonable.
Yesterday I visited this restaurant for my vegetarian meals, I ordered a variety of dishes and let me tell you the food was tasty (fantastic) and wow the portion size was more than sufficient for my family and I we enjoyed every bite. the service was A class, I highly recommend this restaurant to the public.
Was there a change in management recently? The last couple of visits there has been a noticeable difference in food preparation. There is way too much Dahl Puri, the goat filling I had was dry and tough compared to what was tender, juicy, with the right amount of gravy. The food tastes like it was made by an angry unhappy person. Which is too bad. We used to enjoy the food here.
We tried the doubles, chicken roti and potato and channa roti. All were great and lady was really friendly.
Very expensive for such a small quantity and poor quality, don t recommend!!
Order, 10 Doubles & 3 Slice Macaroni Pie only to find out that no Pie is in the bags and not like I can just swing back as I live in Markham :(
Doubles are amazing! The regular lady who works there is great some of the other ladies need a bit more training on how to treat and deal with the customers
Amazing doubles!
We ordered a large beef and shrimp roti. Despite the large size, there was hardly any filling in it- especially in the shrimp one. I ate 3/4th of the roti dry- really disappointing. Some other roti spots are much better- they dont skimp out and charge less per roti.
Great food, great service, and friendly staff.
Eaten here a couple times, and its pretty decent if youre craving some West Indies style roti. But it seems prices have been inching-up the last few months
Jerk Chicken with Rice Peas & Curry Chicken gravy soo good. Mild Spicy and When you try the chicken you feel mouthwatering. Best Caribbean food in the Ajax.
Doubles were amazing. Cant wait to order more and other items on their menu!
Delicious tamarind chutney/sauce in the doubles! You have to eat it in the parking lot. Lol the bara dont travel fabulously. We tried the polite recently and were hooked. Ask for a double side of tamarind sauce and be prepared to just drink it. Lol
Good tasting roti
It has gotten expensive but you cant find a better quality Trinibagoian food in Durham region.
Always cheerful and great service!
I ordered doubles and curry chicken for Drupatis for me and my coworkers. We all got sick. The curry chicken was so terrible didnt cooked property. I was so disappointed with the food. I will never go back there.
Doubles melt in your mouth. Drupatis is Caribbean soul food and my favourite fast food joint!
Im a regular patron of Drupatis scarborough and decided to try the Ajax location. I had to put up with a very rude cashier and waited for half an hr for my food with was served cold and tasteless!. After being treated this way I wont recommend this place!
FANTASTIC na! Closest to my moms dishes....but dont tell her that!
Good tasting Trini jerk chicken, curry chicken and goat, BEST rice and peas! A bit pricey, but authentic tasting.
Worst service . They took our orders and did not deliver 1 hr. Very unprofessional I will never visit here again
Hit or miss. Some days good some days not so good.
Love the Roti and Doubles! Jerk good too. Have to try fish n bake next. One of my favorite dinner take-out stops.
Very good tasty food friendly staff
The food is always great and the daily specials make it so much better
I ordered for take out here yesterday. The Jerk chicken was way too chewy and not upto the mark, the goat curry was good and the fish curry was a complete disappointment. They had literally put in like 2-3 teaspoons of curry in their, I was wondering what did I pay for..
Best Trini roti, curry & other indian dishes in Ajax!!
Awesome Food!! Great Service!!! And very efficient, very pleasant staff!!! By far the best place to eat!!!
Always good roti and doubles. Great daily specials on mini rotis.
Went in to order and stood there for 20 minutes and no one took my order very unorganized and Unprofessional they couldnt even tell me to wait a min or 2 just got totally disregarded
Roti not good at all
Not bad, portions are kinda small
Best roti in town
This is an amazing place for Caribbean food or Trini cuisine. Try the goat roti the best thing ever.
Yum.
Love you services (Brenton)
Great food and good service
Im a born and raised Trinidadian and this is the closest doubles Ive tasted to a road side doubles from Trinidad. I will travel back to Ajax just for this doubles. Tasty
The worst Doubles Ive ever had in life!! The Doubles are so flat and paper thin, that I wouldnt even consider it Doubles??!! It should be call sometime else. I would discourage any one from buying Doubles from Drupatis until they learn how to make REAL Doubles!! PERIOD!!
Food is excellent and service is great
The doubles tasted great, will go again.
The best doubles I have ever had! The place is not beautiful but the food is
Drupatis doubles cant be touched, so good, but it seems since I last there, theyve changed their curry or something. I just picked up a mini curried goat rot, a mini chicken roti and two doubles. Doubles were great, but the roti? Flat, tasteless and underwhelming to say the least..
LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. Best roti in the area.
Very tasty food and friendly service.
Food is great, which the staff would smile more often.
Nice and spicy Jerk Chicken
Very tasty doubles
First time trying doubles and Im hooked.
I paid $14 for a medium-sized channa only. I repeat, $14 for channa. All I need to say.
Been coming here for years. Always great food!
Best food in all of Durham region
Was not my favorite place to eat, food was costly and person cashing out not friendly. The food was missing some ingrediencies , not very tasty, not sure if I would eat there again . I would prefer Roti Hut or Monas any day.
1st time here, got the boneless curry chicken and dahl pourri roti. It was good. Will definitely go back to try something else!
Got sick every time ive eaten here.
Best roti in Durham
The doubles are good, so the food we have tried so far is not the issue. Customer service is the issue. The people working here are rude. They act like it is an inconvenience for them to take your order. News flash: The people who are ordering from you are keeping you in business. Be thankful at least that you have customers especially at a time like this. You need to treat your customers with respect. Your food is good, but in my opinion not good enough to excuse your customer service.
