HOLY SHT THESE TRINI DOUBLES ARE OFF THE CHAIN!
I cant handle it, the cravings are worse than being a heroin addict! I want those doubles in my mouth every second of the day. The way they prepare them is so unreal its like no other double that i have had before. Lightly crisp on the outside tender in the middle with chickpeas that are curried perfectly and too top it all off they have the most UNREAL TAMARIND sauce for them!!!!!
Trust me on this one best doubles in Toronto hands down! -

Delicious Roti! If you want it hotter, dump more of the scotch bonnet hot sauce on it.
Dont mind the cheesey oil paintings of island mural on the walls, as soon as you get your food you'll be happy. Great deal! -

I will be honest - I definitely wanted West Indian food, but came here because Bacchus was closed. I was initially put off by the large, tacky signage and the interior murals. My fears were quickly allayed once my double and GOAT (greatest of all time, for you LL Cool J fans) daal puri came. Holy hell, was it all good. I love me some good goat, and this was wonderfully tender and fatty. The double was also amazing. Hooray for West Indian food.

This area is starting to be my go to for a fix of west Indian food, and little by little you don't fear or your life up here anymore! Ali's delivered a massive roti that packed a lot flavor and good spice if you ask for extra pepper on it. Beware as it will make that nose run!! Happy Dining!!

Ali's Roti is very good. Of special note is their hot sauce or "pepper". If you don't have a taste for spice, make sure you ask for "light pepper" or you'll get damaged.
Their pepper is AMAZING. So tasty and hot and they aren't afraid to use it! Their doubles are great too. -

Ali's has some great rotis, all served up in a dining area with a wacky wraparound mural of island vistas. You can tell it's the real deal because there aren't any honky poseurs around, only real West Indians.
In addition to a wide roti selection, they've got some great appetizers and side dishes. With our roti we tried an aloo pie (a kind of tasty potato turnover) and mango anchar, which was covered in a delicious tamarind goo. The only downside is that "for here" gets you the same packaging as "to go," only on a tray; had to go back and ask for more plastic utensils and napkins, especially since it was all pretty greasy. -

I grew up in a suburb with a fairly large West Indian community and spent my formative foodie years eating some of the best and spiciest dishes I could get my filthy little hands on. So imagine my infinite sadness when I moved West to the city only to realize West Indian meant solely Jamaican. Not that I don't love Jamaican food, but there is only so much Jerk chicken one can handle. And so for the last three years I have made it my mission to find decent doubles in this city. A mission that has taken me to some very, um, "interesting" places only to leave me gravely disappointed and sometimes scared for my life. I had almost resigned myself to making a bi-weekly trek to Scarlem to stock up on the tasty little buggers and then the awesomeness that is the Internet led me to Ali's. Hot, delicious, with a solid amount of spice and not at all runny (like some of the other doubles I had encountered), Ali's is my night in shining fishnet shirt. And the best part? You don't have to take the RT to get there. :)

Ohhhhh ho ho, want to have spicy west indian roti, or paratha, make it this place, this place has very good roti, be it chicken, beef, daal or my favourite GOAT roti, yum yum, if you want spicy this is what you need. After you're done with your meal I'd suggest try their home made coconut icecream, not the best texture, but veryyyyyy good flavor. The service is pretty fast and the people are very friendly and if you're muslim and religious, all the food is halal, wicked eh?
