Yesterday around 3:00PM I went in to grab a late lunch. I order the tandoori chicken(mild). I hadn’t been to Ranee’s in a while so decided to go back since I had enjoyed it in the past. But yesterday was not a good experience at all. As I was in the last pieces of my tandoori chicken I notice that the piece was raw. I stopped eaten and was concern of course as eaten raw chicken can be bad for you. I proceeded to tell the gentleman who is always there and I believe might be the owner of the place. I was polite and didn’t want to make a scene so I called him over to the side as there were other people enjoying a late lunch. I proceeded to inform him and show him the raw chicken. His response was only “yes, raw chicken”. I looked at him and just said “yes, that’s right and raw chicken is not good”. He just took my plate and walked away. I was a bit shocked at the lack of urgency from his reaction and I don’t think he understood the seriousness of the matter. I proceeded to pay for my meal and he gladly took my money. Needless to say I will NEVER go back to this place. My review is for people that take the time to read them in order to make a decision before trying a place. If you decide to go, please be very careful and check you food(chicken) that is cooked well. I take it that by looking at the reviews in here, good or bad no one at Ranee’s bothers or cares to even read them or comment on them. So again if you go please be careful and check that your food is fully...
Read moreI genuinely dislike giving negative reviews, especially to small businesses, especially during these times, but I really had to do this!
I ordered a large plate OXtail, with rice, and this is what I got. Take a look at the picture. The whole plate was filled with just rice and curried potatoes, and a small square in the corner had literally 3-4 very small pieces of OXtail with barely any meat. Now, I'm not trying to sound cheap, but this was ridiculous, esp when they are charging $21.5 for this plate. Although I felt weird, I still immediately called them and let them know, and the lady said to me, "what do you want me to do? We're going to close soon, that's basically how much you get"! She then went on to say, "you can come by next time and mention it to us, and we'll see what we can do". I'm not looking for a handout over here. She didn't realize that she is literally ruining someone's dinner. I would definitely not recommend anybody to ever get this...
Read moreSome of the top goat roti i ever tasted. Melts in your mouth. People complaining about lack of curry taste, jerk chicken issues or store bought patties dont know much about West Indian food. The tame usage of curry is a cultural thing. If you want a strong curry taste, get a roti or dosa at an east Indian place that serves food from India. This restaurant is really a Trinidadian spot. Personally , i love the West Indy/Caribbean take on curry dishes more then East Indian. And since this is a trini place, you cant expect their Jerk or patties, which are Jamaican dishes, to be what they are known for. Im sure they include it because the market asks for it and not because its something they have expertise in. Its a Trini spin on it as well. And Jamaican patties are 90% store bought from the 2 or 3 main bakeries in GTA. Very few make their own from scratch. I live downtown TO and wish there was a Trini Roti spot closer i could indulge in. All the decent ones...
