I went here last night just before closing. There was a young lady at the counter that wasn’t sure when asked if the doubles were buy 6 get one free. She went to the back for about 10-12 minutes and then my food was brought to me. There did not seem to be a cook there. I could hear a lot of banging around and microwaving. Paid for my food and brought it home. It was disgusting. The dough was hard. The chickpeas were laid between two doughs instead of folded into one nice soft dough. It was cold. There was no flavour to it. We had multiple people at home try it. We all felt the same. I am so disappointed. As I used to go here many years ago and it was the best place to get doubles. I would never go here again. There was a homeless guy outside the store who I had given what I thought was a really nice double, and was disappointed I gave him that as food. Not sure what happened over the years but it’s not a good change. As well there was one other lady with her that didn’t help the other worker but complained about how she wanted to go home. I got there at least 20 minutes or more before closing.
Use to be a good west indie place. Now price gouging people. If your a different race; they tell you a different price. My skin color or religion should not reflect the price. Each time I've been to roti n thing in pickering, it's a different price. I'm sick of paying random higher prices and having less quality & less meat in the food dish. Not likely to go back anytime soon. Unless price is advertised and printed.
Service was not the friendliest, roti was watery and not tasty, definitely not authentic Trinidadian. Four of us came in, two of us ordered 2 rotis, then they didn’t went in the back up assemble it and took about 15 mins. When they came back a third person in our party tried to order a roti too and they told her there was no more- even though they didn’t say that initially at all.. seemed like they just didn’t want to make the third one.
My wife and I love the doubles from here. We are by no means connoisseurs of Carribbean food but we know what we like! We've tried doubles at a few other places but nothing compares to the size, quantity of filling and taste of the doubles from here. The chicken roti is also very very good which we split in half to share! Service is friendly and clean.
Went here for lunch, used to come here as a kid and the food used to be great but the quality has gone done dramatically. Ordered the oxtail meal along with a goat double the oxtail with rice and peas was soggy and the oxtail itself had no taste. The double the roti tasted stale but the goat inside was surprisingly good. Likely won’t be giving this place another go. On a positive note the service was good. But that’s about it. For $25 not worth it at all.
I got extremely sick after eating from here. I had the Chicken Roti. It tasted fine although the food was extremely wet and sloppy. 12 hours after I ate the Roti, I had digestive issues and the runs. This lasted for the entire next day. I was extremely uncomfortable and had to take the day off work because I was on the toilet every 30 minutes. My concern is that the meat was old and had turned before I ate it. Please be careful if choosing to order here. It's ok to ask questions about when and how the food was prepared.
I WOULD LIKE EVERYONE TO PLEASE REALLY PAY ATTENTION TO THIS REVIEW! *CAUTION THE FOOD HERE IS A HEAVY DISGRACE TO THE TRINIDADIAN CULTURE! 🤢🤢🤢 So I decided to try a doubles today from this establishment. When I got my doubles I was confused by the weight it was like a pound. When I opened it up I got a hard and huge doubles burger. This is an insult to the doubles shame on you guys. Your doubles is so bad I won't even give it to a vagrant. 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎 Trust me I would never eat here again!
I have been living in Pickering for almost 3 years and I just discovered this gem. What took me so long? Lol I had their pumpkin and chickpea roti and it was the bomb. It had a light taste and it wasn’t salty which is a good thing. Price wise it’s very reasonable and get good portions plus the people who run it are great. I noticed they had so many regulars. A must try for sure!
Close to Pickering Downtown Roti, that is within a block of Pickering Town Center. Portion are nice.
Chicken meal with rice, peas and potatoes. The best!
The doubles are terrible! The bars is so stiff and hard. They need to work on their recipe for the bara
Unbelievable food. Great price. You will not be disappointed especially with lunch specials.
Great Food!!! Really enjoyed it!!!
Dont waste your time and money here. Just ordered a large curry chicken portion and wow what a disappointment. Watery gravy . Not traditional curry chicken you expect from a roti place. Wont be back.
The problem with us West Indian/Caribbean folks is that we have gotten spoilt over here in Canada in terms of our goods and services! We ve grown unappreciative of the vast variety of food choices offered over here from back home! Of course it s more prevalent and widely offered in the larger cities like Toronto s GTA, Vancouver, Montreal, etc. I see complaints in the reviews and my blood boils. If it was the only Roti spot to go to in all of Toronto, wah yuh guh do , you gat no choice but to love and appreciate it right!! But no we go on and complain about the portions, the taste, the texture, the price, the amount of meat versus roti shell, etc etc! Roti and Ting serves up one of the finest Rotis ( beef, chicken, goat, shrimp or potato/channa) in our city! Loaded with correct portions and packed with awesome flavour! Kind and courteous service, if you re in a bad grumpy mood STAY HOME!!! They have been around for years and years! This google review is the worst demon that avails you the means to complain and tear people down! Used to be one on one with the owner and he or she would readily solve the issue! Footnote: the word Caribbean reflects mainly Jamaican cuisine (which is sooo tasty) and the word West Indian reflects more Guyanese and Trinidadian cuisine (sooo yummy). After being in this country since 1965 (as old as the Canadian flag) from Guyana and Trinidad I noticed the signs on the restaurants and grocery stores, there s a difference folks! So get out there and knock a Roti and doubles and stop yah whinin!!! Thank you Roti and Ting for providing quality service to us for all these years, heading there now by bus to enjoy bake and salt fish ( Saturday special only I believe) and might bring home a roti for dinner!
Med spice shrim roti. Excellent!
Best roti in pickering/ajax hands down.
Only place in Pickering that does curry chicken and rice well.
Their doubles are awful! I was craving doubles and was sooo incredibly disappointed. Thick Bara, too much channa and the flavor is just a NO! I could be wrong but I dont think they are from the Caribbean and did not learn how to make doubles properly from the last owners.
Gf bought a chicken one for me today after work and it s my first time having one. But it is amazing and love it!
This restaurant was okay. Ive been here and had chicken roti for lunch and water. I give it okay. Wheelchair accessibility: This RotiN Ting restaurant is a small space. I believe it has 3 4 tables and its on the main floor.
The best roti Ive eaten.Well worth the money
Excellent food
Bad experience Parking: Bad food Atmosphere : 1/5 Parking space
Goat roti lunch special is awesome. One of the best I ve had in the GTA.
The Roti here is dialed in. I highly recommend it!
Food is superb. Jerk chicken was perfect. Chicken and beef roti were excellent. Prices are steep though . Two large jerk chicken meals ran 36 bucks. Not somewhere I would eat regularly based on the prices
Great roti spot! The parathas were huge!
The best roti in durham ! Love this place
This place has the best chicken roti.
The Shrimp Curry delicious tons of Shrimp..everytime Food
Found a long hair in my beef roti!! Waited 15mins for the lunch special. This is not authentic West Indian cuisine.
I ordered 2 doubles and was very disappointed, they reheated the food as I heard the microwave go off and the bara was stale, absolutely lacked flavor, and they dont put any cucumber, but the lady was very polite
Do not waste your money. The doubles are honestly disgusting. I never had the roti, but if the doubles are not giving, I m guessing the roti is not giving either it tasted like the doubles were already made and she probably just warmed it up a little or put more sauce on it. There s way better places in the GTA. This one is not it.
I have tried both the chicken and shrimp roti. The quality of the roti is really good and the helping is pretty big for the price. They also have lunch specials which are a cheaper and a smaller portion. If you want something really hot, get it spicy otherwise go for medium.
This is the best roti around. I drive all over the place about 250kms per day and this place has the best roti Ive found.
Possibly the worst doubles in the GTA - wish I had seen the reviews commenting the same before ordering. They went straight in the trash. At this point they should probably be removed from the menu.
This place has the most disgusting and unauthentic roti ever! So bland no flavour not taste. Absolutely horrendous. DO NOT GO HERE!
Their doubles are not good or authentic. I can t speak about other menu items but would advise against getting the doubles.
Small roti shop with a few small tables, mostly takeout. Very good food, and the lady who provided me service was very pleasant. I would eat here again. Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian items, and since food is prepared for you when you order, many dishes can be modified.
Nasty food, no tease I don t know how the still in business spoiled food
Excellent first experience! I tried their mini jerk chicken roti, lunch special. Don t let the mini fool you! You will be satisfied. The flavours were great, and loved that I was able to eat the roti as a handheld. You also get a bottle of water or can of pop all for under $10! You can t beat that for excellent homemade food! I will be back to try more.
Food was terrible . The curry in chicken roti was like water no flavour . Feel like it will be coming out soon lol I just ate
Ordered 4 doubles and they were very bad. The dough was old and hard. Insteadof hot sauce she had put sweet sauce . The worst doubles ive had
Great food and friendly service !!! The pumpkin roti is fantastic !
This place food is absolutely disgusting and does not represent Trinidad food and Indian delicacies at all. Period. The BADDEST man from Debe, Trinidad. Debe doubles is the best. I still have some doubles from there but I cannot give it to anyone. These will be going directly to the land fill in Toronto. I hope that no animals die if they eat this. For real. Learn to cook proper food people before going into the food business to represent my culture and my island. I am ashamed and apologize to everyone who had to eat the food prepared from this place. Please shut down now and learn from Druppaties Roti and Doubles before attempting to go back into the food business.
Used to order here all the time. I was clearly overcharged. It says the roti that I ordered was $13 online but I got charged $15.75. $13 plus tax is $14.69. On top of that I used to pay $11.05 for it. Meaning the price went up. Needless to say, I ll no longer be supporting.
This place has horrible customer service. They constantly get orders wrong. Everything is microwaved and never fresh. You can hear them putting it in when you order. 5 bites until I got a piece of meat in my goat Roti. Save your money and time. Got to The Roti Spot down the street. It s way better and you get meat in every bite not potato.
Very good
Always excellent food and service
Absolutely love their curry chicken roti. 5/5
The food is ok. I personally feel it lacked depth of flavour. I ordered the goat curry and the doubles. The channa mix without hot sauce is very bland. My measure is usually that pepper sauce should enhance the food but shouldnt be required for the food to taste good. I feel like more herbs can be used in their sauces. The portion sizes are great. I just felt that I needed to add some spices and herbs to give everything more flavour.
Love roti n ting! Always treat me great!
This is not Trinidadian doubles ,I was highly disappointed
had a daily special today. the food was very good! thank you! ill be coming back for sure when in the areA!
The food here is just ok. I ordered the curried goat roti, jerk chicken meal, and doubles. For the price I paid, I was expecting more. I used to get doubles from Lenas Doubles in Ajax, but I moved and thought Id give this place a try. The pastry that the double is in is like naan; very thick and doughy. The chickpea filling was lacking depth like a hot sauce or chutney. It was pure chickpea. The jerk chicken meal is ok. It was missing some sort of gravy to make the meal more flavourful. The curried potato it was served with was a nice surprise. I wish it had coleslaw though. My husband enjoyed his curried goat roti. I thought I heard a microwave beeping around, but I cannot confirm or deny that their food is microwaved. I hope not!
This is my second time going here for lunch. I got the jerk chicken roti the first time and let me tell you it was huge and absolutely delicious. Thats why I came back a second time but this time to get the lunch size so I can keep working after eating. I also picked up a couple doubles as well and yet again huge, packed, and delicious. These ladies do not disappoint. Great price. Huge size. Phenomenally delicious and spicy. Highly recommend and I will definitely be returning again and again.
Dosent look like much but the food and service is great
The best roti shop in Pickering by far!!! The portions are huge, the prices are fair, the food is incredible! I ve had rotisserie, and jerk chicken from many places in Pickering and Scarborough, but Roti n ting is easily the best!!! The doubles are amazing too!
Roti n tings mini curry shrinp has been a weekly thing for the past 10 years and more and will till the day i die
Great food. Service was awesome.
Best place for roti...just love it
I bought doubles it was soo bad
Amazing roti... Tried pumpkin & chickpea... Super soft & yummy!
Their rotis are always on point, very consistent. Food is always hot and delicious. Lady that works here is very friendly.
If you like fresh food do not buy from here.... everything is frozen or refrigerated when you get your food its there is water on the bottom... they are hiting in the back doing God knows with your food... there is a reason its hidden ay the back... food is never fresh and it takes them for ever to serve it to you because it takes long to defrost and warm up your Wattery food.... ewwwww Why cant they display and serve your food in fron tof you???? Because they like to cook once a week if that...
Loved this place for over a decade, my favorite place to get Roti and Doubles! I have even traveled from Kitchener and Peterborough to get it.
Definitely recommend this place! GREAT food and satisfying portions.
This place is the REAL DEAL! I had the beef roti, it was so BOMB! Ut was cooked to perfection and the gravy was SO tasty! YOU AND EVERYONE YOU KNOW NEEDS TO TRY THIS PLACE!
boneless curry chicken is big and nicely stuffed, Roti is good and not too doughy. I prefer to get it hot and like the name suggests with a cold grapefruit ting!
Our go to for roti in Pickering! Its AH-MAZING!
Had the jerk chicken roti, butter chicken roti and doubles. Recommend all!
I ordered the mini chicken roti yesterday, by 8pm I was sick with food pensioning.
Too much potatoes but pretty good
Bought roti shells. They were not fresh made but defrosted from frozen. They were like rock the next day will not go there ever again.
Best roti and double spot.
I bought doubles salfish and bake and paratha.It was the only thinga I ate all day woke up in the middle of the night with food poisoning.I havent had that in over 12 years The paratha was piping hot but def not freshly made to order seems it was heated up. I read the reviews and took a chance but honestly I wouldnt recommend.
Go to McDonalds.
I had the curry chicken roti, medium spice. Very tasty. Thank you!
I just love the chicken roti - !
Great food always fresh have not tried anything that wasnt delicious
Just got oxtail rice and peas and doubles and it was ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING NEVER EVER AM I GOING BACK THERE DISGUSTING WOWWWW
Best roti
First time coming to this place after looking for something local. Came in 3 mins past 2p and was denied the lunch special which was kind of disappointing, as the cashier was cashing and chatting with the other people in line. Would have been good customer service had they honoured it. Ordered the chicken and goat roti and came to $22.30 which was a bit pricy, since there was no drinks or other accompaniments. Portions are decent and flavours are pretty good. The roti was just a bit dry, would have liked it with more gravy.
Love this place! Always fresh, always friendly, great prices! Try the Goat Curry!!!
The worst roti these people should not be allowed to sell food no taste no gravy the doubles like fry bake and the channa have no taste
Large portions, tasty food, friendly staff! I always get doubles. ^_^
Food is very delicious and staff is really nice owner is amazing great food all around
We absolutely loved this place! The owners are so sweet and lovely! We wanted to try the pumpkin and spinach, and though they were low on pumpkin, still gave us some to try! Their roti, oxtail, jerk chicken, potatoes and beans were just delicious! We certainly hope to come back and enjoy the food that s clearly made with so much love! Thank you to the dear owners!
Had a Roti was very good.
I am a regular at this place and I normally order lots of things but today I just ordered a goat roti. When I got home sat down to eat, I was very upset to see only 2 tiny pieces of meat and the roti stuffed with potatoes and very dry. That was the end of my lunch. I will go again another day and if it happens again, well then it will be my last time going back.
Enjoyed a nice Curry Chicken Roti and doubles today for lunch! Pretty satisfied with how it turned out! Not too salty, not too spicy! Just right. I d definitely go back again. Thank you
I go get roti shells. There good. Dint get anything else not because i dont want to. Didnt get the chance yet.
The best
Ive been a costumer of Roti and Ting for many years. I love the mini roti; perfect size lunch special.
Great food and friendly service
Good food good service
I love this place by far the best rotis around.
Its pretty much the only good roti left.
I ordered butter chicken and jerk chicken dinners here today. The ladies working were very nice and helpful and the food was delicious. By far one of my favourite butter chicken dishes and my boyfriend loved the jerk chicken, so much flavour! I will be going back for more!
I frequently get Doubles at this place and they are really good. Counter staff is not very friendly but I dont go for conversation, I go for the food so they get 3stars from me
Great food, fantastic staff, clean facilities
Just cant get enough curry chicken
Not bad we reied for first time too much potato in the chicken roti
Doubles was tough and not like real Trini doubles. More like bake. The channa was tasty but that was it.
Amazing
Ya my
Not a big fan of the roti from here. But I absolutely love the doubles! The hot sauce is quite spicy but is Cut down by the sweetness give it another bite. Every person in the Ive given it to loves it. I also love how enjoyable it is for only 2.50! Also makes me feel that it is healthier not eating meat but chickpeas instead and being just as satisfied
Love this place. Great roti here.
My goat Roti was delicious!
Pretty good food
Stopped in to Roti N Ting for the first time in July. Ordered three chicken roti, one goat roti and two doubles. Everything was delicious and the serving size was actually more than any of our family of four could eat as a single meal. We have a favourite roti shop closer to home, but the owners are retiring. Despite the drive and distance from our home, we hope to return to Roti N Ting soon!
Good customer service and food is amazing.i ordered goat curry with roti and its very tasty and I ll try it again
The chicken roti is really good...very tasty and great portion size! Will go back again for sure!
Good food, great service!
Tasty doubles
Love their Shrimp doubles!!
Tasty and fresh. Clean place. Great staff
Reliably delicious oxtail and rice
Horrible customer service. Would have like to give ZERO stars if possible.
Didn t taste like it did before it closed from the fire
The menu is a bit limited, but they sell generous portions of tasty roti and dahlpuri at reasonable prices.
Had a shrimp roti here. It was pretty good! They also have chicken or shrimp doubles - which is pretty rare. Worth a visit if youre in the area and looking for good roti etc. They also have jerk dishes.
The best roti I have ever had!!! And I have had roti everywhere!!!! They have chow mein on Fri and SAT that is also absolutely top shelf!!!! Great place
I come here like once a week now. There goat roti is so good its crazy. I usually only get roti so thats all i can comment on. It is also really big and can serve two people.
I just purchased a channa roti if thats the way it spell, and the dough wasnt even cooked properly. Never going back there again. Heading back to I love Roti.
Good roti. Looking forward to their salt fish and bake every Saturday now. Missed them when they were closed.
love their doubles!! Absolutely delicious with a very generous portion size.
We stopped in for lunch and both had the Roti special. $6 with drink included. I had the goat roti which tasted good and considering that it was a lunch special was quite large. I asked for hot sauce but wasnt particularly spicy. A had the chicken Roti which she said was good. They have renovated recently. Clean and bright atmosphere. Three tables and some hightop bench seating. Service is quick. Lots of free parking. Well worth a visit. We have only been here at lunch so not sure what it like for dinner.
Great food! Fast. Love their doubles!
I did Skip-the-Dishes app on this one... I was visiting a friend and was craving some Roti. Wow, sooooooooooo good. Portions were great, it was so delicious and the hot sauce, yikes, yum and spicy. Only disappointing thing, is that they are not located near where I live. But I can tell you that every time i will visit Pickering, this will most definitely be on the menu.... YUM!! Drool!
Love the food
Customer service sucks here.2 attempts made and left like they were doing me favour. Will never refer or spend money there again.
Love the roti and service... Excellent
I have had lunch there several times and found the Curry goat roti to be excellent.
Stale Bara from doubles . First time there, wont have a second visit. What saved the rating was the curry chicken roti size .
Great place to get Roti! Love the goat.
Great food and prices.
Ever since this place changed owners its gone downhill. Roti isnt as good as before and they microwaved my order. Rude counter staff, they didnt wash their hands after handling money and they short changed me. How can this place get any worse?
Mainly went for some doubles. They were just alright. Shark n bake was also decent.
First time customer..really friendly staff..phenomenal food. Compare the price to comperable volumes of chinese take-out. We are getting hosed on the chinese takeout. Theres an alternative! Tx Roti n Ting.
do not get their ox tail.
Delicious bakes
Tried the chicken double, it was good! :) Portions are HUGE
The best place to get roti!
My favourite for boneless goat roti.
Great fast food
It took a long time to reopen but Ive been reunited with my favourite local roti spot. Theyre still doing it right.
Good but never open.
Always good food
