ACR Hot Roti & Doubles in Scarborough

Just visiting Toronto from another province. And wanted to try some Caribbean food. And they were closed at 4:20pm although google says 5pm closing. Very disappointing they didnt update their information nor stay open till actual closing.

Had the doubles so soft and satisfying! Yes chickpeas on the soft side and so is the wrap, Went back home and literally went for a nap after

Best place in scarborough, hasnt failed me in the 20 years Ive been going there!

I was reffed to this place as the best doubles spot in scarborough. I went out of my way to try it. When I got there a younger guy with facial hair took my order. He wasnt particularly welcoming to me. Im from the Caribbean. I did mention that it was my first time. When I got home after taking a few bites of the chicken roti my stomach started to turn. For the past 4 days I have had severe food poisoning. Diarrhea 24/7 I was hospitalized for it. At the moment I am waiting for my results to see if I ate any parasites. I will never go back to this place again! For a roti shop located in the heart of scarborough I had higher expectations.

Young man with attitude who sells, he thinks he is doing you a favour when buying there. Shareen s just around the corner hundred percent better

Good value, tasty food. Take out only. Definitely worth a visit.

Vegetarian options: Yes Food

No longer owned by Trinidadians.............. wompo

Best doubles in scarborough, very tasty . Food

One off my favorite place like to go againnn

Beet doubles ive had in the city!

Old lady in this store do not know how to talk to customers and these guys gets offended if we pay by debit or credit.

Been going here since the early 90s. Great place for some traditional foods.

Food is okay, also the owners never had a bad occurrence with them. It s just the guy that works the cash register younger man with a beard has a terrible attitude problem and is rude to everyone for no reason. The owners should honestly do something about it because there are multiple reviews on his rudeness, un professionalism, and terrible customer service. The food honestly tastes great when fresh I have been coming to this spot ever since I was a child and the lady and the owner have always been nice and pleasant no problem with them. It s just the son In law that kind of ruins the atmosphere with his constant attitude and terrible customer service.

The doubles here are fantastic if you can ever get to the restaurant when it s open. Hours on the door and on Google don t correspond to when the place is actually open. My guess is they close at 5, so don t expect to get dinner from here.

Always randomly closed

Best doubles in Ontario

Great customer service food was excellent.

Had to try this place out. Prices were reasonable. Great spot to grab a snack or lunch, and its hard to find some good doubles with some nice hot sauce. This place hit the spot. Definitely will return for some roti and goat. Parking: Parking on the side of the building. But It could get busy cause its a shared parking lot.

The doubles and saheenas are absolutely top-notch and . The roti, though, is a bit dry and for the price, I would expect more on the inside. But again, I love love their doubles and saheenas, extra spicy please.

Ordered a saheena with channa and got a tea spoon of channa on it ,when I call to complain the guy was laughing at me and said it already came with Channa so does that justify a tea spoon, I am very disappointed at the service I got.

Great roti, curries and deserts from the islands

I visited this place recently. First of all, the workers or whoever are so unfriendly, not a hello or hi when I entered. This place looks so run down, I almost walked out when I saw it. The food is AWFUL, nothing tasted good for me. I got some Bara, they loaded it up with so much dam pepper, suppose I was allergic to pepper. Well, what a waste of money. NASTY FOOD!! NEVER AGAIN!!

this is my favourite doubles spot in the city.

Ive been going here for over 30 years and I have never been impressed by this place. I started in high school because Im from trinidad and want a taste of home but this is far from home , besides it not being authentic and tasting like real trini style food , their attitude there is very cold and unpleasant they dont actually care about the customer, I heard the son in-law who is definitely not trinidadian arguing with a customer, when the customer asked for slight pepper and saying that the last time the slight pepper was a but hot he started to argue back with the customer saying next time he should ask for no pepper instead , when the customer said there a difference between no pepper, mild pepper and heavy pepper the cashier started to argue and raise is voice , its not the first time Ive noticed the scetchiness there and bad customer service , and like I said Ive been going there for over 30 years and havent said anything, I actually drive all the way to drupaties if I could , or get food from the Guyanese at Caribbean wave instead to wasting my time and being disappointed at acr and having to witness the disrespect, they dont even give back to there trinidad coustomers , they basically capatalise on the food and culture with out giving back and being authentic all because a man from trinidad is technically the owner , and they are filthy rich and worst even change the ripped up dirty 40 year old posters of trinidad or wont even clean or paint the place and make it nicer for the customers. I went for over 30 years without saying anything, but now I have to if I could give there rating a 0, I would , but I really cant support them anymore and I think its right if I let other people know , and Im sure not the only person , please support real authentic loving cultural trinidad establishments not culture vulture places like this with the worst customer service in Scarborough.

My favorite roti place , I love the owners

Terrible customer service, rude people standing at the counter. And prices are wayyy too high. Can getting a filling pizza slice for way cheaper than a small double for almost $5

Cannot call that a doubles, the worst ever

Best doubles in Toronto

It appears they aren t handling there food very safely; I got legitimate food poisoning after eating here.

When entering this place its like from the 80s. They take your order and dont give you a order number. Very disorganized. Doubles and boneless chicken roti wasnt good. The older lady at the cash needs to work on her customer service skills. They charge fifty cents for a small container of pepper sauce and they dont even put enough on the food. I went this one time and wont go back. Much better places like Lenas, drupatis or Monas. If I could give a zero star rating I would.

Scarborough hidden gem , always busy.

A long time customer here ... decades! I go for the doubles mostly but the baiganie, alloo pie are all good. My family likes the roti and kurma, Sometimes (rarely) a slip of the hand re baking soda in the channa which impacts the flavor, but this is one in a hundred. Small place, so go prepared for a lineup, esp on the weekend. Takeout only. Wheelchair accessibility: No wheelchair access

I just sent my stepdaughter here to pick up some doubles as I remember this place had really good doubles. When she brought it home I was very disappointed and if they were closer to me I would have brought the food back. The doubles were disgusting and there was nothing on it except the channa which tasted like nothing and the Bara wasnt even soft. I told her to get curry beef and rice bit they said the rice would take 30 minutes! I got the curry beef with roti instead. When I opened the package there was a huge roti, a table spoon of beef in one corner and channa in the next corner. I didnt pay over $20 to get channa and roti with a pinch of beef on the side. Is there new owners or something?

Amazing food always!!

Always a pleasure going to this shop, the doubles, is a must have, the they always welcome you, very nice. Great food.

Had the chicken roti and it was very tasty. Doubled finished for the day. Definitely coming back for the doubles.

Fav doubles spot by far! Always buy our pepper sauce here!

Been going here for a couple years now and love the doubles!!

Doubles? Great. Saheena? Great Customer service? Could really use some work. I was looking forward to trying ACR s food after seeing Toronto Chef Devan s review online. I came from the other side of the GTA to try it out. Google said their store closed at 7:30. I called ahead to place my order at 5:35. They initially took my order and informed me they were about to close. I told them I d be there in 15 mins. They said ok. Then about 10 mins later I got a call from ACR telling me they were closing and asking if I was still coming. I said yes, that I was 5 mins away and I mentioned that Google said they closed at 7:30pm. Then, they just hung up on me. I did in the end, get my food but the experience was very off putting - like they didn t want me to come.

Doubles were sooooo good!

These are the best Doubles in Scarborough.

Best doubles Ive ever had

The doubles never disappoint us. Quick service and good food!

Hubby went In to pick up some doubles. He had a craving. He said the place was very old but clean enough. Customer service was ok as well. I was skeptical because of the reviews. I really like doubles and I didn t want this to ruin it for me. So we started by getting just 2 and tasted those. If it was good, then we would get more. It wasn t bad! Not oily! Tasted ok and it had enough channa filling. Definitely their hot sauce is what makes it better! But we found them to be a little on the small side compared to some of the other restaurants. We were hungry and it was good enough to get more. Is it my go-to place in Scarborough to get doubles? Probably not. But if I m in the area, I would have it again.

Worst service. No manners or sense of communication. I spoke with a man to ask about the doubles to ensure there were no allergies (no meat or dairy) and continued to ask about what fillings they use to which I did not receive a clear response. I asked again and the man got short with me and hung up. I called back thinking it was a mistake. I asked again and again the man got short, asking how many I want to order, and what time. I specified that I would be 10 minutes before closing and to which he replied, no thanks, were closing now 45 minutes before closing time. Glad I did not give these people my money.

Kid-friendliness: I am a kid and the worker is always friendly Food

Had my first double the other day, got the spicy one. It was very good. I walk by this place all the time and never really knew it was there. Its small and simple but the staff were nice and the food that I had was very good. Will be going back for sure

Food is good, they definitely need to revamp the place at least the front. Be careful man often over charges double check your food to ensure you got all you ordered. Food always missing. Food

This place is a small hole in the wall with excellent food. Do miss out go check it out.

Sign says open until 6, Google says open until 5. Arrived at 4:28 to see closed sign.

Best doubles in scarborough

Best Saheena in Scarborough

Food used to taste good back 30 years ago. Went back this weekend food is terrible, taste like they use old oil. Pholorie and chutney taste and smell nasty did not even try it just dump it in the garbage. Their food it very stale karma taste really old. Hubby got sick from eating the curry. Waste of money and an embarrassment to Trinidad food .As for the place over 30 years and they never even update the restaurant. It looks and smell even more dingy and musty...Sorry to say customers but Trinidadian food taste a hell of a lot better than that. This place dont even worth 1 star.

Ordered doubles and saheena. It was microwaved. No chutneys, toppings or pepper. Waste of money and its a disgrace from when we use to get food back in our high-school days

Cassava pone is amazing . Trini doubles are always fluffy and tasty !!!

Delicious doubles with pepper and plouri yumm

My first time going here and I just loved it. Doubles are really good Food

One of my favorite places

I had tried ACR doubled and to be honest the hype some people are giving it is not worth it. I dont find the taste to be all that people make it out to be. I know doubles is greasy but this was more than greasy and flavour was missing. Not sure if that could have been a one off day or what. I tried it and I will not return.

They have the best doubles Ive had in Canada. Its a bit pricey but okay for an occasional treat. Highly recommend the sahena roll especially for those who like the doubles

They will overcharge you if you are not paying attention to what they re ringing in. Be careful.

This place is a cozy, clean, take-out little restaurant. Good customer service. I bought some stuff and also some pulourie, but I think the pulourie needed some flavour added to it. Turmeric and little seasoning will do the job.

The best.

Amazing food, the man that served us was such a kind soul... will be back forsure! The doubles

Awesome. Im addicted

Kid-friendliness: I work at the High School down the street an come here often. The guy that works there extremely friendly an always makes you feel welcomed Food

The taste of the food has changed. It was better before. Had gone all the way from Brampton. It was ok.

Doubles was smashing, best I had in Canada so far after leaving Trinidad. I heard indas proper tho. So I ll check out next. This is a deff try tho, will be worth it !

The absolute BEST spicy doubles in the city!

Get the doubles. Spicy. It s not the same without the fruity hit of their hot sauce. This place typically has (a lot of) people in it, so expect to take this to your car and eat it right away. Do not recommend you wait (though it is no less delicious, the bara is best fresh). Consider getting the house made peanut punch.

Best Doubles in GTA. Prices are now $3 per doubles compared $1.xx few years ago but it s still worth it.

Best tasting doubles!!! Absolutely delicious with spices as tasty chickpeas. This place beats all other West Indian food spots for flavour!

Best sahena, doubles Ive ever had..flavor is untouchable

I was very disappointed with the items purchased i.e. Doubles, Phoulorie, Sheena, Biganee and Chicken Roti. Nothing tasted authentic. It was some of the worst East Indian Delicacies Ive had. The items were also pricey. I will not be going back!! Parking: You can park over by the Freshco Supermarket Parkibg Lot and Walk over to the Store.

Best double in Toronto, but even medium spacy is tooòoo spacy

Just a staple in Toronto. Been around for years and amazing food.

Good food, really good food. The doubles are amazing. Service was likeable, although I had to walk back because they forgot to give me napkins and utensils. The place looks run down, but the food is good.

The food that I ordered seemed to be a bit over done for 1 of 2 items and a bit smaller than the last time I bought there before covid. Otherwise it tasted great.

Delicious food and snacks

They don t pick up the phone.

Not consistent with their saheena...drive all the way from Innisfil

Love the dubbles

I cant understand some of the negative reviews on here - but I can only speak for myself when I say that the times Ive been in for lunch, I was greeted with a smile from start to finish. The doubles hands down are absolute killer! You cant go wrong at all for 3 bux, Im serious! The chicken roti was decent - Took me a several bites to get through the actual roti to the meat itself - I will admit that the pepper sauce needs to be more hotter and spicier for that type of dish and type place that is it coming from, however it was flavorful. Have I had better elsewhere - sure / would I get it again there - maybe not. But I am enthusiastic to try a lot more on the menu no doubt. This is an old school family owned and operated west Indian roti joint - a hidden gem in an old round strip plaza, hidden close to deepest darkest Scarborough. Very easy to pass this place if your not looking. So why not stop in for some doubles and a Solo pop / they also carry the Peardrax drink (very recommended and hard to find!) Parking: Parking at the Freshco

The BEST doubles! Their roti is good too.

Good

Usually good, but the doubles today were very salty.

Best Doubles in the city. Take out only.

Smuggled 50 doubles across the border...

Ordered curry chicken and potato roti a few weeks back and it was delicious. It tastes so authentic and like home cooked.. first time coming here and my 3yo loved it. I didn t get it spicy cause I can t eat it spicy but it had a light kick which was enough and I just realllly enjoyed this roti. Way better the Mona s roti wraps.. like WAAY better!!! Can t even compare, and it s cause the chicken and the curry was well cooked and also seasoned so well. Mona s taste water down unfortunately.. just being honest. We also had the Chana which was BOMB. Oh man.

Love thier doubles

My coworker turned me on to this place. Absolutely killer doubles...the best doubles Ive ever had. Other places around make ok doubles but we always come back here because theyre the BEST. Love this place. Everyone at work gets soooo excited when anyone walks in with a bag of ACR doubles.

Its been a couple of months since I last visited. The food has the same great flavor and taste. But the prices are ridiculously high!!!

The worst. Dust on all the displayed objects and trash visible to customer. Cashier was beyond rude even charged me more then the displayed price and when I inquired as to why he wasn t even apologetic for his error nor did he offer to refund the difference. As for the food, I wasn t offered any toppings for my doubles (cucumber tamarind etc) so not sure they have Are they even West Indian? I m just saying.

Very nice people, solid doubles

Real south doubles recipe

The doubles are fantastic but I couldnt eat the chicken roti. The dalpurrie skin and dal were dry and the chicken was dark, fatty meat. M*nas or R*ti Hut are so much fresher and tastier. The store is extremely old and dirty. Dont expect a friendly hello or thank you.

We bought doubles, aloo pies, baiganee and saheinas here. Worst food ever!!! We have eaten at a lot of Trinidadian restaurants in GTA and this is by far the worst excuse for Trini food. Saheina was hard and soaked in oil and tasteless. The baigan in the baiganee was not even cooked. The dough was thick and hard. The hot sauces lacked flavour. The rest of the food was just as bad. We threw out $30 plus spent on this. These people need to close down this place. No shame whatsoever to sell this garbage and present it as Trini food. Hard pass!!

Definitely one of the best doubles spots in the city. Can never go wrong with doubles from here

Rude guy that sells there with beard. Every time I go there, he gives me attitude for no reason, give him $100 bill, he said for one double. And laughing about it. This place needs to close down. There is a lot of good places out there stop going here people. Go to Shereen s they cook fresh food every day only a minute away from this rude place, follow them on Instagram , Mona s, Rajin, Drupatee, roti hut. If I could give a zero star I would

My mf childhoooddd!! Love this place. Been around since timmeee. And thet not stingy with the spice frrrr!!

Been going here since I was in high school, their doubles are the best that I ve tried compared to other shops.

Vegetarian options: Chickpea filling Food

This place has the best food better than most popular restaurants. I will keep coming back.

Best doubles in the city

3/10 for taste. Way better options around

Love the doubles!!

The aaloo pie had raw dough in it (half cooked), it tasted awful. Had to throw it out. Doubles was decent but no sweet chutney for some reason.

All these American complaints I swear, this is a doubles spot is a boss, like these people never eat street food or wha? Acr has been consistent with their food for a long time, 17 years and haven t had any issues here yet! This is d rel trini experience for food service nice here too uncle and tanty could rel joke to bad

Love this place my dad loves their rotis

This was my favorite place for doubles. Now its hit and miss. Sometimes there horrible. And the price, not great.

Best Doubles n Aloo Pie in Scarborough! Been going here for about 25years now!

Best doubles!

Been coming here for 20yrs for doubles that still taste delish. Thanks for keeping my Trini culture alive. See u soon

Shady hole in the wall? Sure. Great doubles? Definitely.

Awful service! All the staff are extremely rude. They treat you like s*** as a customer as if they are doing customers a favor by serving us. Cant ask any questions otherwise they get upset. Their food is not that great either. Very oily doubles and small for that price. Their meat curries are mostly potatoes and has a bitter after taste. Their saheenas are dripping oil....gross. Cant emphasize enough what awful service they have. Very very slow serving customers. Sometimes I end up waiting for 25 mins for just doubles and saheenas. Many times they have closed their store before closing hours and doesnt update it on Google. Several times, I looked up their opening hrs on Google and drive through traffic to get to them only to find out theyre closed. Last time supporting this business! Not worth my time or money! Better options elsewhere customers!

Love the doubles and phoulorie

Read their google reviews and wanted to try out their food. Purchased 1 shrimp roti, and 1 goat roti. Also purchased 2 saheena, and 2 doubles. As stated in other google reviews, their food is delicious, and well prepared. I asked for xtra spicy in all ordered items. Now that is where i find their pepper sauce is quite good. It was just enough heat but it did not overcome the taste of the spices and ingredients. They are open on the weekend. I plan to add this restaurant to my goto list.

Ive been going here since I was a child! My favourite doubles and aloo pie than any other place Ive tried. However, a couple times Ive received one less pholourie and the doubles dough wasnt fresh.

Foods always amazing here, but they are going a little crazy with the doubles and sahena pricing.

Best Doubles in the GTA. Was given the wrong order last time I was there. Very disappointed since the food is so good. Still ate what I was given though. :)

The food here is delicious! Ordered a chana and a chicken roti and some doubles. The servings are generous. Will definitely be back for more.

THE WORST customer experience. We called at 3:30pm to order. We were pressured to come before 4:30pm because they close even though their website says 5pm. I confronted them on the phone to which they replied they close earlier (every single tone was rude that they spoke to us in). They called us at 3:58 we were 4 min away asking us if we were coming. I got on the phone AGAIN and met him with the same tone. Super rude we will NEVER order from here again. Change your attitude when you work in customer service regardless if you re the owner or not. I normally don t make reviews but this had my blood boiling.

Hot place you want to eat doubles and shainah

Best Doubles in Toronto!

Staple of Scarborough! Cant go wrong for good Trini food!

Still the best doubles and Aloo pie in town The guy behind the counter could use a little training on politeness and customer service though.

This place has been around for many years but the food is just average. If you can make it out to the west end, Indar s has far better doubles and does not charge for every little condiment. Also, they do not drown the doubles in pepper especially when someone requests for it not to be spicy. My family and I can handle spicy foods but this was not enjoyable. The customer service is some of the worst that I have come across. Mind you, I was not expecting much given the reviews online and the fact that this place is a hole in the wall and yet I was still disappointed. I spent $70 but the employee working at the front treated me like I was an inconvenience and did not respond to any of my questions. Also, this place only takes debit or cash.

Yes ppl arent happy about service but this IS a smaller take-out shop and they make it relatively fresh. Down in the islands, youd be served about the same time. And remember you dont see the phone orders on the back end that theyre trying to complete. Also just cuz youre not happy with service doesnt give you the right to be rude to someone. Ive never had issues with service other than me needing to rush because Im the one thats late. Cant beat the authentic Trini flavours tho. They havent changed their flour like Roti Hut. This reminds me of back home. Except for no spice. They make it for the North American tongue. Ask for extra spicy. Pholourie dip/chutney changes on who makes it. Not as good as it used to be years ago. Doubles were never my thing so the greasy nature of it doesnt appeal to me.$3 for one also not worth it to me now. Other items better like the roti Works well to reheat if needed (dont microwave, warm in real oven better). And while not accepting credit cards is odd nowadays, its understandable as then they dont have to pay merchant fees. Cost of food already going up so any increase is going to go down to the customers. Parking is in the back/side of building, or just use the Freshco parking lot. Heaven forbid you actually have to walk to the store. Keep your expectations realistic for a shop of this nature.

Food is still on point. Just the same as it was back in 98 when I was first introduced to this place.

Tried for first time. Bought some doubles. We generally buy it from drupati. As we were in rush we bought it from this place. We bought around 3pm and by 7 it went bad. Started smelling. Wasnt expecting that.

Love the spicy shaahinas

Doubles wasnt all that grand there are way better places now. Some I would say is just as good as Trinidad. I wont be going here again.

Food is good. Customer service is not th greatest nor the friendliest. Also, the actual price charged does not add up to whats on the board after you factor in taxes. I can only think that they charge extra for spice but why? Its not like doubles or saheena should be bought without spice in it. Very sneaky.

This ain t the spot for roti they don t wrap it good the curry ain t cook down it s water down and run belly the best spot for roti that better most roti is koris roti !!!! In Oakville ! Real Trini base

Best doubles in Scarborough, hands down

I had a dine in at this place on Saturday along with my friends and I must say the food tastes good and the portion they serve will fill your belly. I recommend this place to people who love good spicy food, worth every cent.

Favorite.

Drove to pick up doubles told him online it says closed at 730 I was at the door at 7 and it was closed bad customer service. You try to support local but local behave like a local.

Been going here for over 30 years! Best Doubles in GTA! Great people too -- family-feel.

Been eating here for 20 years, and has been consistently good every time.

I observed the cashier being very rude to customers. Long wait time and food wayy below average. Would not recommend.

Very good doubles

The BEST doubles. Get them spicy, yum yum!

Best doubles and palories in town!

Best Doubles!

Terrible customer service. Closed an hour before closing but left the sign on open. Walked in and asked if they were still open as the door was open and the sign was on but lights off (happy to leave if they were not or wanted to get out early), asked twice and the only response back from grandma was what do you want. K. Then they said no debit only cash, despite there being a debit machine on the counter. K. Fished out change from the car and got my food but regretted not just driving away. No thank you, no answer or acknowledgement from the other side of the counter. Last I checked it was your customers that keep you in business, very odd choice to treat them as poorly as you can. If they didnt want to serve me and close early all they had to do was answer my question, thats it, and they couldnt even do that. Been going here over 15 years and never going back and Id recommend you never step foot in this place, better service and food elsewhere.

The Male on the counter is really rude.

Great food just getting pricey now to expensive

Not a clean place, I wouldn t return

Food was very tasty. Price was reasonable

Love their Sahenas. Prices have skyrocketed. Ambiance have not changed in over 20 yrs.

Been coming here for 25 years. Best Trini food in the east side.

Fresh hot food, been coming here for food for years.

The best doubles around

I have been coming hear since I was a tiny kid lol! Its the best doubles I have ever had and even the kids n fam. Enjoy it, always.

Man the parata roti is really good Vegetarian options: Lots of different Currys Food : 5/5 |

Going this place today& was quite amazed and amused. Amazing that they serve Trinidad style doubles and ask different sorts of Roti. No jerk style food contaminating this establishment. Amusing that they spelled Roti wrong twice Rotti but got it correct everywhere else on the menu. The doubles were first class old style Marabella doubles, not the hard skin bake style imitations that all the other west Indian Roti shops try to pass off as doubles.... The rest of the food looked like it was fresh from Trinidad. They even had solo drinks!!! The only downside, they have no parking so you park in the large lot just to the west and run across the side street to get to the store....

I had never heard about a doubles in my life. One of my friend suggested me to try and i have to say that i am now addicted to it. I am indian and doubles taste very similar to our traditional dish. This restaurant absolutely deserves 5 stars for their taste and reasonable pricing. I live a little far otherwise i would have doubles every second day!! Love it
