I went here to grab some food w my mom for fathers day. Had heard about them from yelp so thought I would check it out myself.
The owner, Lena is very friendly. She was at the till and hearing I'd been there for the first she offered some doubles (I blurted out " like at tim's - clearly not a coffee but a little of cultural ignorance on my part). The double is 2 Small flatbreads with curried chickpeas in between. Not too bad but oily and carby :) which of course makes it tasty.
We got the chicken and goat ( there are bone in options- i opted for boneless) roti, one spicy and one medium. The spicy is....OHMYGOD spicy but holds enough back that you can taste the food. The medium is actually just right if you like spicy.
The restaurant itself needs to be redone. It isn't designed for glamour but is clean. Has a lot of ads for local items or events that gives it a cheap look, and hand written signs are on the walls outlining rates or sales.
However, the warmth and support of the customers overshadows the physical attributes of the site. We had customers talking to us about the history and food. Living in Toronto I never get a small town feel in any place except this one. People were not customers, they were family. -

Food was terrible, curried duck was hard, undercooked and way too much oil.
Polourie, doubles, saheena were like flour fried in oil, no taste and very greasy.
I did not tried anything else.
Service was great.
Prices a little on the high side.
I won't be going, I think I can cook better, even though I don't know how to boil water.
Very dissapointing after reading all the great reviews. -

Just as the title, nice little place to grab a humongous, yet delectable roti, wrapped or separate. The doubles are equally good. You can opt for a "spice level" for most everything on the menu, from none to hot, and can choose from a myriad options, like lamb (boned or boneless), duck, chicken, etc.
The service was so fast, by the time we ordered, sat, and opened a pop, it was there. No waiting for the food, and there's no stopping your mouth once it's in front of you. So good. -

This owner and employees at this location always have a nice smile and welcome you with open arms to their resturant. The food is really good expecially the doubles. The wait time is very short but be prepared to join a crowd cause there are a lot of people in there.
