| - Great Trinidadian Rotis here! It is a no frills kind of place so don't expect 5 star service. The prices are very affordable, less than $6 for a chicken roti and about $6.50-$7 for a boneless chicken roti or boneless goat roti. There are also other Trinidadian staples like currant rolls, doubles, stewed oxtail with rice, tamarind balls, etc but I l didn't try anything else besides the rotis and doubles.
The rotis here remind me so much of home, I had the boneless chicken and boneless goat, both were great. The boneless goat roti is in a darker curry sauce as a result of more geera in the curry while the boneless chicken is more yellow. The rotis here are "saucier" than rotis I have had at most places back in Trinidad or anywhere else in Toronto, so it maybe messy to eat at a park (I was going to take my food to go to eat this at High Park but seeing the amount of sauce deterred me). The pieces of meat are tender but not dry or fatty. The boneless chicken roti is made with only breast meat, so the fact that it was not dry was impressive. The dalpourie which is the wrap was thin enough and nicely cooked (I like rotis that have that "poxy" look derived from a nice hot cooking plate).
Overall, I really loved the roti, the only complaints I have are (1) that the roti does not automatically come with channa, you have to pay extra, all rotis come with curry potatoes though, (2) that they close at 8pm on most days and 9pm on Fridays, that is kind of early but maybe I am just a night owl.
Overall, I think this maybe my new favorite place in Toronto for Trinidadian Roti, my hubby likes here too but prefer Ali's Roti shop, I disagree since I like the dalpourie at Island Foods more. My ranking for Trinidadian Rotis in Toronto right now are: (1) Island Foods, (2) Ali's Roti (3) Caribbean Roti Palace (rotis here are kinda dry)
