| - Owned by Muhammad Ali and Ali Larter, this shop knows how to do Doubles. They may also know how to do Double D's, but I haven't had the nerve to ask.
What to get: Doubles.
What else: Ali want are doubles.
If you haven't had Doubles before, you're missing out. They're a Caribbean specialty, they're spicy a.f., they're vegetarian, and they're absolutely wonderful. They have chick peas aka Garbanzo beans in them and I have no idea what else. I don't want to know. I just know they're amazing.
There are plenty of places in Brooklyn to get them, none better than Royal Bakery. In Buffalo, Michelle's makes them amazingly. And here in Toronto, Ali's is the place to go. They are absolutely perfect here. Wet, spicy, delicious. And of course dirt cheap (less than $3 Canadian and very filling).
The guy who runs this place is really friendly too and his prices are great. There are lots of other amazing things on the menu such as Rotis, and you may also want to sample their baked goods such as the awesome Currant Roll. Do not miss Ali's, in the best and coolest part of multi-ethnic Toronto.
And don't be surprised if you see Ali Campbell of UB40, Ali Son Sheedy, and an Ali Cat here too. They all love doubles almost as much as I do.
