The Roti Hut

Only the beef is halal, which can use some more meat. Good and friendly service and the place looked clean.

Oh man
Where do I start
First I miss this place
Used to work nearby there and this place I used to frequent at lunch all the time
Next the food
Hooooo weeeee
Chicken roti
Doubles
The food is definitely a hit
Good Carribean food made proper
I have to make it back for a bite to eat!!!

I really like that this roti place has been around for so long and it is very spacious for dining. I went with a friend on a Tuesday evening and we were the only ones there. My friend has been coming here for years and got a roti craving so I decided to come along for some good food.
Let me start by saying the Pholourie is amazing with their spicy mango chutney. I need a bottle of their chutney to put on everything. What I really wanted to try was the Curry Duck I will have to return on a Friday or Saturday. I went with the Curry Goat and it was really good, the meat was nice and tender. I don’t have much experience with roti, but I felt there was too much of it in comparison to the curry goat filling.

This is a nice little «fast-​food» joint if you want to get a quick fix for some Indian food. When I first walked in, it looked pretty nice and clean. It wasn’t anything special though. The place is exactly as you would expect just from looking at the pictures. One thing to note is that they have a hand washing station in the dining area, which comes in REAL handy, because it can get messy and really spicy for those sensitive to spicy foods.
The service was mediocre, the woman behind the counter wasn’t that nice to us at first, since I assume she thought we were just some high school kids that wouldn’t order anything. We asked for her suggestion, and she said to get the boneless chicken breast roti. She cheered up after we ordered, and was actually pretty nice to us with a smile.
We ended getting their friday/​saturday special, «curry duck» roti and their suggestion, and boneless chicken breast roti. These may look small, but these are actually stuffed to the brim. Unfortunately, these are mostly roti rolled to the point where it gets really thick. You know how wraps can taste bad when it’s rolled and you could only taste the dough? This is what the roti tasted like on the edges, which is unfortunate. I’m used to the thin, lightly toasted, and rich tasting roti, like the one at South Asian Malaysian Curry. The meat on the other hand was very flavourful, and for those who like spicy foods, this was not too hot. Personally too hot for me, but this should hit the medium level in terms of spiciness.
The meat on top of rice looks good though when I was looking at the other people beside me. I would personally not come again, since it’s not my cup of tea, but I have nothing against it.

Living on the West coast for the past few years has limited my access to West Indian food — it is almost non-​existent in Vancouver. This time around, during my visit home, it was necessary for me to eat something I knew I wouldn’t be able to get upon returning to YVR: boneless chicken roti.
The boneless chicken roti at Roti Hut was stuffed to the max. I thoroughly enjoyed it — moist chicken, ample seasoning and a roti shell with the perfect texture! If I had room, I would’ve tried the doubles. I guess I’ll save that treat for my next visit home!

Went to this place the other day and tried some curry goat with rice and peas with some cabbage and carrots on the side. To my surprise, there was indoor seating at this place unlike many other places in Scarborough. But like most other caribbean places, I still had to add a lot of pepper sauce to my dish to get some heat to it. But otherwise, the goat was very tender, the cabbage and carrots were nicely cooked, and the rice was fine. A surprising addition was dal as I wasn’t aware that my meal would come with any but it was a nice surprise. My only real complaint was that my food wasn’t all that hot temperature-​wise. But overall, one of the better West Indian places I’ve tried in the GTA.

The best boneless chicken roti in all of gta. Been coming here for over 15 years. Tastes just as good as back when it was a dive joint. Service isn’t the best but who cares… if any of you are from the islands you will know it’s pretty much standard island service levels. Speed of service is always up or down depending on the person at cash. I come here for the food. The service isn’t so bad that I can’t tolerate the wait and robotic service at times…

My go to roti and doubles place. God this place is friggin’ fantastic!
Whenever I have that craving for roti or a good double, I run to The Roti Hut. Writing this review alone makes my mouth water.
I’ve tried the plethora of rotis and doubles that Scarborough as to offer, and nobody can touch The Roti Hut.
The chicken put in the roti is a tad more dry than I would like, but the flavour is ALWAYS spot on. As with the doubles, always delicious with that greasy goodness. And that’s what keeps me from coming back here time and time again. The Roti Hut is perpetually consistent in quality. And that’s the number one thing I always look for when I dine out. All of my top go to places have one thing in common, consistency.
It’s tucked away in a small down hill street, but not too far from the main road.
The service here is always great, food comes out (weirdly) quick and the staff always serve you with a smile.
I highly recommend The Roti Hut!

Came here on 06/​17/​2015 at lunch with my cousins, have tried Drupati’s in the past but came here to give it a shot.
The plaza it’s located in seems a little run-​down, but this is a review for the establishment, and the inside of this place was clean. We looked at the menu and I ordered the Boneless Goat Roti as well as a Double.
There’s a nice seating area and they bring the food to you, definitely a great place to bring friends, but more of a casual/​fast-​food sitting area. The roti was huge, there was plenty of goat, and the spices were great. Definitely a satisfying roti. Had a great ratio of meat, I prefer a little spicier so I ate it with the complimentary pepper sauce. The double was a thing of beauty, the bun was deep fried to perfection and was great to accompany it.
Another great place for roti in Scarborough, definitely recommend it!
Cheers!

We were recommended by family who live in Toronto. We tried the doubles, they were OK, a little on the dry side but reasonably priced. Tried the police balls they were nice and fresh. The peanut punch was great. Also had their chicken and potatoes, there was no. Chick peas in the roti. The roti was not well seasoned. The jerk chicken had too much sauce. The gal messed up my order but there were 9 of us. I was reasonably surprised. Portions were big. Hot sauce was a little weak. Price seem average. Service was not great

I love the roti hut! The food is good and they have PEANUT PUNCH! It’s like drinking peanut butter but it’s fantastic! You order up front like a fast food joint.
There is lot’s of seating and it’s comfortable. However, the plaza is ghetto in which this restaurant is situated in.

Ordered the boneless chicken roti $ 9 and I had high hopes for it! The chicken was dry and not enough curry to compensate it. Not a huge fan of the roti itself… But this is in general as they put some form of nut spread or something in it – making it really gritty. I prefer Indian roti that’s for sure.
However the music they play makes you feel like youre in the Caribbean. Love that.

Mmm! So I’ve been trying to find a good roti shop — the Caribbean kind! I had the boneless beef roti and it was flavourful but not overpowering and not too spicy. They mixed the beef with some potato but not a lot (like other places) so that it wasn’t too wet. We saw the women in the back making the roti fresh! Apparently they started the store at least a decade ago. There was a steady stream of customers. They had a huge selection of drinks as well including coconut water, grace carbonated drinks and mauby — a drink made from tree bark. The roti was soft. I definitely could have shared the roti — at least for lunch. Great place for authentic roti. If I’m ever in this area I would definitely go again!

I had the chicken roti. It was good but not the best roti I’ve ever had. Service was pretty poor so I think they my have ruined the experience for me. Cashier/​waitress was not friendly at all! She forgot to add my doubles to the order even though I paid for it. When I told her, she was very rude about correcting the problem.

Have been going regularly for the last couple of years. Huge rotis stuffed with flavor! They do not skimp out here! One roti feeds two. The atmosphere is nice too for a grab and go place.

Place is clean staff are friendly and quick but most importantly they def make the best roti you can find in Toronto. We go once a month to satisfy our craving. If you like hear ask for pepper.

Craving some Island delights and decided to visit the Roti Hut for an early lunch. Ordered the Chicken Breast Roti, Doubles and Sparkling Pear Soda to share. Roti was but a tad salty for my taste. It was, however, perfect eaten with the Doubles. Pear Soda tasted like hard cider which was ok. They also serve Grace Pops and Ting. The line up for lunch can get long (come before 12:30pm or after 1:30pm).

I can’t say anything about eating in this joint because we did take out. I am reviewing strictly on the boneless chicken roti I had. To begin with, it was a decent size, but the weigh of it alone let me know that it was stuffed full. First bite, I was taken aback. This didn’t taste like what I am used to getting. Then I put my finger on it. The roti itself was made fresh and its texture was a little more spongy than the premade, pulled out of a plastic bag roti I’m used to which tends to be a bit more dry and crumbly. Maybe for this reason, the filling wasn’t overly saucy. It was, however, jam-​packed with tender, flavourful chicken. No skimping on the meat quota here! Despite my better judgement, I devoured the whole thing in one sitting. What a bellyful, but a happy one!
My biggest regret is that I didn’t get to try the double my friend had picked up in addition to the roti. I was just too stuffed full, so I meant to take it with me but forgot! A sad day as I LOVE a good double, but an excellent reason to return to the heart of Scarbs for yet another meal. Maybe pick up some jerk chicken too as I’ve been told it is legit!

why do you have to be in Scarborough???
This is the best Carribean Style ROTI I’ve ever tasted in Toronto area…
AMAZING curry, good prices, easy going staff…
living downtown is the challenge, Scarborough is awful, not as awful as say; Brampton. but this place is worth the drive!

The best roti I’ve had in Toronto. I’ve been coming to Roti Hut for 10 years even though it’s a bit of a trek.
My favourite here is the boneless goat. The roti is grainy and soft, the meat is tender and the curry has just a bit of spice. Add their homemade hot sauce for a little extra kick. A surprise for me was the pumpkin and spinach roti I tried once. It was delicious and just enough sweet. A great option for for a vegetarian. Make sure you get a few doubles to go. They taste great reheated.
Service is friendly. Go at off hours to avoid any potential line ups. I’ve yet to try a roti, whether home made or at a restaurant better than roti hut!
