Drupati's Roti & Doubles

I was gonna give this place a 1 star but I'll give 'em two stars cause their coleslaw and jerk chicken was good. The wrap was pretty dry.

This was the first time my girlfriend and I felt discriminated. In Scarborough, as two Asian people, I did not expect this to happen to us. The cashier clearly didn't want to take our order. No eye contact, no smiling , and so much attitude.

I usually ask what they recommend to get to new people to break the ice or the tension but she did not budge. After she took our orders, we overheard her making it clear that she's talking about us, and saying she just "speaks the truth, I don't care". HUHH? What the heck did we say?

We sat there watching her small talk, care, smile and me friendly with West Indian customers.

This is a crazy experience that my girlfriend and I thought we would ever experience.

Lede: go to ACR Hot doubles and Roti (2680 Lawrence Ave East) for a better experience, and better quality of food.

I should have known that this joint was going to be Disappointment Central we walked in and we saw Mike Lindell (aka near bankruptcy, TheMyPillowGuy) on a Teevee screen doing an infomercial on F*xLews.

Trying a new Caribbean spot, Doubles and Saheena are the litmus test for me. So we ordered three Doubles (3.00 each) and a Saheena (3.99).

I asked for NO sweet cucumber chutney, and they dressed all with it and the Barra was rubbery, and the Channa was mediocre. The Saheena was a colossal joke. It wasn't a Dasheen bhaji (spinach) roll, sliced and enrobed with ground split pea batter and filled or topped with Channa. Nope, it was chipped up bhaji style in a fritter batter deep fried, zero Channa.

As for the doubles, in addition to giving me their nasty chutney, they gave us not doubles, but for two of three Doubles we ordered they gave us what they deem 'Singles' in Trinidad. One Bara, filled with Channa, folded like a taco and wrapped in a paper presented like a hot steamy baby's doody bag. Hmm, so appetizing.

PS, this meagre order was costly, and terrible in quality, took sooooo long to come out? Why, maybe they were snacking on the two missing Barra from we ordered?!

Good Grief, people who don't know better are eating here. You are wasting your money. I do not recommend.

I ordered the chicken curry and a few variations of the doubles, and I wasn't super impressed but it hit the spot for my craving at the time.

The portions are a good size and the food was authentic.

I personally didn't like that the doubles came in a thinner wrap similar to a tortilla. I also thought the spice was pretty mild and could've been hotter.

The curry was good, although I wish there was more flavour or spice.

Good but not great roti and doubles in Scarborough. We were here recently for dinner. We tried out the chicken and goat rotis, along with some double and pholourie for the kids. Both currys were great, with lots of flavour and balanced heat. The roti itself had a good stretch. Portions are gigantic.

While the roti were great, the doubles were very soggy. It seemed like they had been sitting for a long time before they were served. We also had to wait 45 minutes for the food despite an empty restaurant.

This place is only worth it if you actually get what you ordered and even then it's over priced due to lack of competition nearby.

Today I placed an order that in total came up to 70 something dollars. Reached home, the special request that was made twice over the phone order was not honoured. When we called them back they were downright bullies and said the person who took the order said she doesn't "recall" hearing that. Well that sounds like a problem for the person taking the order. They then offered to refund it if we brought their food back Uneaten and now they would have to throw it out. Guess no one told them what owning a food business was like. If it wasn't for my grandparents who had to eat at the time. I would have returned their uneaten food and happily taken my money back but I asked for it to be remade.

I will never support this business again and yes perhaps losing one customer means nothing to them now since they have somewhat of a monopoly but nothing lasts forever so be careful when ordering as if you have to bring anything up they act as if you're in court - your word against mine vs this is a restaurant and I served you something you're allergic to/requested to be excluded. My mom placed the order right next to me so I know she repeated it twice. Not only that. People with allergies don't suddenly forget to mention it.

Stars in the negative for this horrid experience and accusatory nature of dealing with customers.

Quick and easy takeout when you're having a Stew Chicken with Callaloo craving. I ordered mine with plain rice but you can opt for rice and peas too. Taste was right and there's definitely some generous pinch of seasoning salt used to really amp up the stew flavour compared to home cooking but that's why it's tasty.

For the win add on an order of 10 pieces of Phulourie with Mango Sauce or Tamarind Sauce. This time I picked Mango Sauce for a change from the usual; it was watered down yet flavourful with a hint of garlic seasoning. Nice touch!

All meat is HALAL.

After seeing the (alleged) owners classless responses to honest reviews on google, I wasn't going to give my money or support to this business by dining here but I made a committment to others to come, so I followed through. I recommend that he grow up and take the feedback and improve the service and quality instead.

We had the dine-in experience, and a week later; the takeout. I must say that the food for dine-in was quite tasty (however the take out was tasteless). The jerk chicken chow mein was not strong with the jerk flavour but you could taste it. The general tao and chilli chicken did not taste like what it was supposed to but was still good enough. The pholourie balls were huge and pillowy and I like The Tamarind sauce they give with it.

As for the dine-in customer service, they were friendly, but for some reason although we were a table of 9 they only kept giving us three or four cups, or three plates or a few napkins. The dine-in service was delivered in styrofoam cups, Styrofoam plates, and packaged plastic forks. Lots of seating available though.

However a week later when we had the TAKE-OUT, it was very TASTELESS. I don't know why they phoned it in on takeout of the Hakka food. The hot and sour soup was indeed sour and spicy but there was no other flavour. And even though the bits of chicken is drowned in soup, it still managed to be dry in texture. No egg drop or tofu, but it was full of cabbage (?). We will have to add seasoning and sauces to The Leftovers in order to make it edible. That's never a good sign. *smh I DO NOT recommend take out for the hakka food. I don't know why the quality dropped for takeout but it's not a risk I'm willing to take again.

Aside from this, I love the aloo pies from this place.

I recommend this restaurant for dine in and aloo pies but not for take-out. They take debit and cash, no credit card.

Incredible food!! The doubles are out of this world . So tasty! So comforting. I go there every time I'm in the area.

In the spirit of supporting local businesses, some doubles and roti were on the menu today!

My friend had never had doubles. I know, right?! They were so so good. Lots of flavour and the wrap was definitely made in house.

The chicken roti was delicious. Lots of chicken and potatoes wrapped in a giant roti. It was HUGE! I had to cut it in half; I don't even have plates that big!

Would love to try more stuff on their menu!

Hands down my favorite roti place.

The boneless curry chicken and the curry shrimp are so darn good!! 10/10. Paratha so good and chewy.
