| - Location: Victoria, below Jean-Talon. If you're using transit, Plamondon is the closest subway (less than 10 minutes away if you're walking). If you plan to use street parking, be sure to check the signage.
The place: I can't comment on the location or service because a group of us called in our order for pick-up. The process is pretty smooth - just call them to place your order to make sure it's ready for pick-up at the time you plan to go.
The goods: I should start by saying that I'm not an expert on Caribbean cuisine. In fact, the extent of my knowledge starts and ends with Jamaican patties. However, I do think I have a decent, though be it, selective palate. I'm a big fan of the Roti - I ordered the shrimp and wasn't disappointed at all. The ratio of shrimp to chickpea/potato/veg was pretty good, and the size of the Roti was definitely big enough for one person. The flavors were subtle, yet delicious - for those of you worried about spice, this isn't spicy at all. Based on my buddy's feedback (he's a regular), these guys will make it as spicy as you want, but you have to ask for it. He also says it's the best place in town to get Roti and so far, I can't disagree. Great place to grab lunch.
Service: N/A
Price point: The shrimp Roti was $8.95. I feel like that's a bit steep, but like I said, the portion is pretty good. Check it out and let you judge for yourselves.
