Maison du Cari des Caraïbes — Restaurant in Montreal

Location: Victoria, below Jean-Talon. If you're using transit, Plamondon is the closest subway (less than 10 minutes away if you're walking). If you plan to use street parking, be sure to check the signage.

The place: I can't comment on the location or service because a group of us called in our order for pick-up. The process is pretty smooth - just call them to place your order to make sure it's ready for pick-up at the time you plan to go.

The goods: I should start by saying that I'm not an expert on Caribbean cuisine. In fact, the extent of my knowledge starts and ends with Jamaican patties. However, I do think I have a decent, though be it, selective palate. I'm a big fan of the Roti - I ordered the shrimp and wasn't disappointed at all. The ratio of shrimp to chickpea/potato/veg was pretty good, and the size of the Roti was definitely big enough for one person. The flavors were subtle, yet delicious - for those of you worried about spice, this isn't spicy at all. Based on my buddy's feedback (he's a regular), these guys will make it as spicy as you want, but you have to ask for it. He also says it's the best place in town to get Roti and so far, I can't disagree. Great place to grab lunch.

Service: N/A

Price point: The shrimp Roti was $8.95. I feel like that's a bit steep, but like I said, the portion is pretty good. Check it out and let you judge...

Went to curry house today on Victoria and I have to say firstly the prices went up sky high while the food has deteriorated big time I was totally disappointed the phlourie had no taste at all the doubles was terrible the roti had an acid taste to it what a waste of money I am done going to curry house if I can give it half a star I would disappointed

So after forgetting how bad curry house food was I went back today and second worse mistake of my life $50.down the drain again food is more disgusting than two years ago I bought doubles there was no curry chick peas inside they put tamarind sauce that I didn’t as for made the food sweet I asked for hot sauce didn’t get that this place should be shut down because they do not know how to cook Caribbean food I’m sorry but can the original owners come back please please it’s a disgrace what they are doing to people and taking people money and the food is terrible stay away from curry...

In my constant search for an Island Foods replacement (those from Toronto will know what I mean) I came here on a recommendation and I am glad I did. It's not perfect, but it's damn delicious. The Roti shells are nice and tender and flavorful, and the chicken meat is amazing (best I've ever had in a roti....including Island Foods). My only gripe is that the roti can be a bit dry so I'll ask for more chicken gravy next time. The doubles are equally delicious and yummy and the shells are amazing. All this and service took less than 5 minutes and was made fresh in front of me. My major annoyance in most roti places I've been to in Montreal is the awful sound of the microwave... that was not the case here. All fresh. All delicious. This is my fav in Montreal now by a long shot. Some seating inside as well as a few tables outside.

Street parking only along busy Victoria. Not...
