The food and service is always great here. The breakfast on the weekend is a must try!

July 9, 2024

Ordered a chicken roti (bone-in) with hot sauce and was advised that they could only offer stewed bone-in chicken. Agreed to it. Unfortunately the product was ultra disappointing! Chicken had a smelly raw taste like it wasn’t properly prepared/seasoned and I was afraid to continue eating it. I had to throw it out. There was no other filling, no potato nada. So how does a dhalpuri which retails for $3.50 plus a small chicken leg (cost $1.25?) cut in 3 pieces & improperly prepared represent value for $15.25? It’s a huge disappointment! No stars & never going back!

Loved the doubles here! They’re fluffy, the Channa is not runny and the chutney is delicious! This now rivals my other favorite doubles (ACR) Aloo pie options were also amazing with the many additions. All meats halal.

This place is hit or miss. One day it's good, the next day it's average, and another day it's complete garbage. It's almost like buying a lottery ticket, you can only hope to win. Also, their opening and closing times posted on Google are completely wrong. One day they open at 11, another day at 12, and another day at 10. Consistency is not a factor when it comes to this place. But their customer service is good 👍.

The last time I visited I gived a very poor rating as the food I ordered was extremely gross. I was very apprehensive to visit again but since there was no other nearby place to eat and I was hungry I decided to pay Rajin's another visit. I decided to go for a goat roti now, the Roti was good I was quite impressed with the soft skin the curry seem fresh quite tasty and was more than adequate, what a far cry from my previous visit when I had the rice. So this time I'm going to give Rajin's a three and a half.

Not quite friendly... Bought 15 Doubles. Paid with a $50.00 bill... Person was suspicious that it was counterfeit. Paid with another $ 50.00 bill. Accepted. Doubles tasted like ""Counterfiet" Doubles! Won't ever go back!

They have the best doubles I've ever had! I travel all the way from Milton just to have the doubles. It is a take out place. Great value and great flavour. If you can handle some heat, I'd recommend getting it spicy!

Love the rollup sahena. Doubles are great also. Sunday morning Baigan and tomatoes choka with sada roti is a must. Feb28, 2024: this is one of our favourite places, until today they gave me day old bara for my doubles. Very disappointed.

Located at Finch and Baldoon (near Nielson), in a little plaza is Rajins roti shop. Not everyone know how to make Doubles properly...but this shop does mmm mmm good I also love curry goat roti, so delicious. They also sell many other things, including treats, drinks, and music . Theres no public washroom. Theres parking outside. Theyre open during covid but be sure to go before 4pm.

Awesome taste and intriguing menu. Love the paratha or dal puri combos. Probably the best tasting Carribean food in TO. They know how to blend and cook their curries with no bitter/raw curry aftertaste that alot of other places have. Every time I finish a meal I eagerly await the next one. Just delicious.

Been buying a while now, however after repeatedly receiving missing items I will no longer be visiting this establishment. From roti, doubles, items or missing condiments. Great food but imagine placing large orders and your children or wife has nothing to eat. Its not worth driving back because how far it is from my home.

Local Guide
December 21, 2019

The service is teribble, the food presentation is awful the food quality is below subpar. I cant believe they are still in business. We ordered 2 salt fish and bake and took over 30 mins to get. Then when we got it, they paymebt machine isnt working ( seems to be normal), so they can only take cash and then they dont have change. What kind of business is this. So its either you leave your change or take other items to use up the change. Here is the good part, when u get your bake and salt fish, the salt fish is normally stuffed in the bake. In this case, the made a sandwich. They took 2 bake and in between them they place some sort of tomato sauce that they call salt fish. Its was just terrible. You can believe that I will not be returning here at all, I would prefer to do without that support this quality of food service.
