Ordered the curry chicken roti for take out and it did not disappoint. Tastes like it was homemade in a Caribbean household it was fresh/chewy and the filling wasn’t too runny which I find with other Roti places. Remember to bring cash.

I love this restaurant! Truly underrated. Come here and see for yourself. I have come here a few times & Everything on the menu is amazing (the oxtail and goat dish as well as the goat roti being my Favorites!) the service is top notch, pleasant woman behind the counter with her only priority being that you leave happy. She clearly makes her food with love. It's fresh and just feels like home!

Do not miss the opportunity to try this place! I am so happy this is close as the roti is 🔥 Cash only, worth the price as the roti is packed with meat! Try the goat, you won’t regret it, and ask for it spicy if you like heat

I tried this place on a whim, despite the street appeal making me wonder what it is exactly. I couldn’t tell if it was a dive bar or restaurant—it turns out it's both. I’m going to come out swinging and say that this is the single greatest roti I've ever had in my life. Try it and thank me later. The roti (bread) itself should be the gold standard (chewy, light, airy), and having tried the chicken, beef, and goat, they're all amazing; the goat stands out as my favorite. The service is amazing and friendly. There is such a kind woman behind the bar, and you can tell she puts a lot of care into making a great dish. The only thing preventing this from being a full five stars (and I do feel bad because the place has amazing food) is the cash-only policy, and the price does seem a bit inflated on the roti; $16 for roti is a bit of stretch given that San Remo is across the street and offers $12 sandwiches that will feed you for a week.

The food was hot and fresh. The roti was nice and soft. The lady working there was very friendly. It felt like I was at somebody's home being served a homemade dinner, which was nice feeling. A bit pricey, but taxes are included and you know...Canadian inflation these days.

I was working in the area and found this place. The owner is very nice. I ordered a goat roti to go and this is probably the best roti I've had ever! The curry and roti was Sooo good, hot and fresh... Check this place out!

Best Authentic Trinidadian 🇹🇹 and Guyanese 🇬🇾 food in the GTA. Literally taste like homemade food. Roti's are made when you place your order (e.g., roti(s) are not made early in the morning or reheated from the freezer. Highly recommended, and respectful suggest you come here over Leela's Roti & Doubles, Debe’s Roti, and Doubles, and Lenas Roti & Doubles. My partner is vegetarian and she loved her meal. They have many vegetarian options as well. No filter or lighting adjustments made to my Curry Goat photo, which btw was AMAZING 💯🔥🙏🏽

Roti's are made from scratch and fresh for each order. Give yourself about twenty minutes for them to be prepared. I arrived early and enjoyed a well priced beer. The goat roti was perfect. Tender, bone-less, and delicious. We ordered two types, one with hot-sauce and one without. Both were winners. Lovely lady working behind the bar/kitchen. Would repeat order!

Boneless Goat curry roti hits the spot on Canada Day, and I learned from a fellow patron that today is Newfoundland day of remembrance! Makes sense, Newfoundland joined confederation in 1949, after the war! Canada has two unknown soldier memorial sites as a result! Will have to check out the rest of the menu another time! Friendly for sure!

Ive been searching for great roti since Barbs and Island Foods both closed. I can stop looking - this is number 1! Dont be deceived by the low-key appearance: the roti were the best Ive had in ages. Goat was remarkably tender and flavorful - must have been cooked low and slow. Roti itself (wrap) was equally done with care. Only thing missing is the Caribbean ocean and air.

Fantastic spinach & potato roti. Not much gravy but really, nicely spiced and filling. The real deal with a really friendly lady doing the cooking. Make sure to call ahead as the rotis are made fresh-to-order. Not many Caribbean roti places left in the west end, but this ones a standout and one you have to try if youre in the area. Be aware that its cash only and more of an old-school, beer-drinking spot for locals rather than an eat-in restaurant - youll probably want to do takeout if youre with a family.

I had the curry chicken roti. The chicken and potatoes filling was delicious. The really impressive part was the soft and fresh flatbread wrap. I have tried roti from other restaurants in the area, and all of their flatbread is dried out, especially in the corners. The roti from here was fresh from edge to edge and I ate the entire thing in one go.

Must have been a bad day. The service was very slow and very long resulting of parking ticket and the food was quite dry. Was chicken roti. I really looked forward to going there cuz I love roti and a little bit tired of shawarmas but for $15 this was no deal limited gravy and just not a place I would go to again but I will just to see if it improves because theres lots of people who seem to like the food so maybe it was just a bad day for them

My husband & I are visiting Toronto from Florida. We were on the road to go visit family. It was dinnertime and I was craving roti. I searched online for Caribbean Roti Near Me & found this restaurant. I was really looking forward to roti. I called at about 6:30 pm to ensure they were open. The person who answered was very pleasant. She let me know they were closing at 7 pm but I could place an order with her. She would fill the order and I could pick it up when I arrived or thats what I assumed she meant. We hurried and arrived there at about 6:50 pm. I went in and introduced myself explaining I had called 20 minutes earlier. The lady at the counter was the person who answered the phone. She let me know it would take 30 minutes to prepare. That she only made them on the spot. And she only took cash. Its $15 per roti. I ordered 4 so that would be $60. Im traveling and I dont carry cash let alone Canadian cash because most every business now takes debit or credit card. I was disappointed for several reasons. 1. I wish she had clarified her store policy when I called on the phone. In other words, let me know: Even though you called, you will still have a 30 minute wait when you arrive. You will also have to pay cash. It would have saved us the time and effort. 2. I had an appointment with family. As much as I was craving roti, that 30 minute wait was too big a sacrifice to make. 3. I was fine paying $15/roti. But I had a real problem with them only taking cash as payment. I left disappointed and because I was hungry, I was also hangry. We had wasted time to call and then to drive there. At the end of it all, I didnt get the roti.

Such a sweet woman with a beautiful smile and hearty laugh. I ordered a chicken roti and goat roti. The dhalpuri was made fresh to order. The rotis were saucy, spicy and very flavourful. Fantastic food and great experience start to finish. I can t wait to try what else they have here! Highly recommend

I wanted to bring some goat roti home for my husband on a weekday, so he could have a yummy lunch. So I googled the closest place and crossed my fingers. Was a little worried when I arrived, was a kitchen in an empty bar, but the woman who made the lunch was so nice and welcoming. Husband was very happy, said it was delicious. Score! We would go again, especially if were in the mood for an old school bar. Cash only

Traveling from Edmonton, we wanted to try some delicious Caribbean style roti. We found this place on Google and boy were we in for a treat. It is a no frills place where locals hang out. Kind of like an old school pub with a pool table. Upon ordering, the older aunty making the food informed us that it will be 15 minutes as she would make the meal from scratch. -Jerk chicken with rice was juicy and succulent and spicy. - curry chicken roti was nice as well. - curry goat was the show stopper, packed with lots of meat and a few potatoes. The roti eas nice and flaky, almost paratha like texture and it held onto all the juices of the goat curry. If we are back in GTA, we will definitely be
