Hunt for good roti
See All Lists
1. Vena's Restaurant
Toronto, ON M6H 1N7
(416) 532-3665
Category:
Caribbean
Neighbourhoods: Brockton Village, Bloordale Village, Wallace Emerson
Of all the roti joints in all the towns in all the world, I had to walk into this one.
Vena, I don't know what magic you fold into your roti skin and juicy curries, but you've made this gal completely smitten. You take "hole in the wall" and push it…More »
2. Island Foods
This is, hands down, the best West Indian roti I've had in the city, with the channa mix being one of my biggest vices. In fact, my stomach seems to have some internal radar that points me to this joint almost every time I have a carb craving...…More »
3. Island Foods - CLOSED
Toronto, ON M5T 1G1
(416) 599-9339
Category:
Caribbean
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
If Island Foods couldn't get any better, it opened up a counter right downtown so I no longer have to make the trek out to King and Dufferin for a roti fix.
Not only is this place more central, but the rotis here are just as good as the mothership at…More »
4. Bacchus Roti Shop
The first time I ever had a roti was over a decade ago, from this little joint called Bacchus in pre-gentrifying Parkdale. Despite the grubby interior and crack heads raging about outside, my internal soundtrack shifted to a romantic melody, and my…More »
5. Gandhi Cuisine
Toronto, ON M5V 2B5
(416) 504-8155
Category:
Indian
Neighbourhoods: Alexandra Park, Queen Street West
A-ha, Gandhi, you have totally won me over.
MUTTER. PANEER. ROTI. Medium-mild heat.
It took me four trips here, but I've finally found the dish that puts the Viagra bounce in my step. Good mornin', good moooooornin'!

Why did no one warn me about Gandhi's steam-exiting-my-eyeballs heat scale before I stepped into… Read more »
6. Chicken Plus
Toronto, ON M6K 2V5
(416) 516-0747
This is another one of the roti places in what I consider Toronto's roti mecca at Queen and Lansdowne. Chicken Plus is a small two-tabled food counter tucked away on Close Avenue, serving up rotisserie chicken plus a bunch of other fast food items,…More »
7. Caribbean Bistro
Toronto, ON M4P
(416) 480-1581
Category:
Caribbean
Neighbourhoods: Mount Pleasant and Davisville, Yonge and Eglinton
Going to Caribbean Bistro is like going to an Italian restaurant in India. You. Just. Don't. Do. It.
My friend and I found this place on Yonge, just north of Eglinton. Not the first place you think of for island food, but it looked super homey and had…More »
8. Coconut Grove
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…More »
