Review from Vivek S.
If you look past the specious claim that it is Toronto's #1 roti shop, I will concede that Coconut Grove is A-OK. It's tucked between a strip of similarly pocket-sized eateries along Dundas west of Bay street. Inside you'll find a sassy lady shelling out loads of curried meats: oxtail, beef, goat, chicken and stewfish and you can them with rice or roti'd. All the meat is Halal.
I went with the stewfish roti and asked for it spicy. It definitely packed a punch. I thought it was pretty good, though I probably wouldn't go fish again. Prices are pretty reasonable but note there is a $0.25 charge for debit, so you might want to bring cash.
Obligatory Title Pun: They've got a GROVEY thing going on.
Menu Readability: I don't even remember one.
Need to mention: Or 10 rotis and get your 11th free.
What this place teaches me about myself: I'm not even remotely sassy.Listed in: Lunch Time!

Poor Coco got a bum rap from Connie three years ago and nobody has bothered to correct her.
The Trini lady at Coconut Grove made me a wonderful stewfish roti, and carefully packed it up for my trip to the airport. She helped me figure out what would be tasty and easy to eat on the plane and was careful to make sure I was familiar with Trini hot sauce before she dosed it.
The place was very clean. The customers were charming.
Roti wrap was fresh and tasty. Stewfish was a nice sea bass that had itself been lightly breaded and sauced. Potato, lentil and other nice things made it a very good roti.
People in the airport lounge looked at me enviously as I ate it.
Also, great selection of sweets and Carib beverages. -

Small little shop with authentic food! The roti could've been better, but the boneless chicken curry was delicious! Makes for a great lunch!

My stomach told me to go to Island Foods, but my mind chastised me, saying something along the lines of, "Hey, you wimp, stop being predictable and have an adventure!" Normally, that's fine, but that day Mr. Mind totally effed up and guided me down the path of bad decisions.
Here's what I like about Coconut Grove: The sign. The cheap food.
And that's where it ends. The food is cheap, but the roti, with its too-tough and dry skin and the clumpy, mono-flavour channa-potato filling, was not worth the savings. Plus, the annoying kid behind the counter was just too much for me that day.
Pass and pass.Listed in: Hunt for good roti
