Roti N' Ting — Restaurant in Pickering

The problem with us West Indian/Caribbean folks is that we have ‘gotten’ spoilt over here in Canada in terms of our goods and services! We’ve grown unappreciative of the vast variety of food choices offered over here from back home! Of course it’s more prevalent and widely offered in the larger cities like Toronto’s GTA, Vancouver, Montreal, etc. I see complaints in the reviews and my blood boils. If it was the only Roti spot to go to in all of Toronto, “wah yuh guh do”, you gat no choice but to love and appreciate it……right!! But no we go on and complain about the portions, the taste, the texture, the price, the amount of meat versus roti shell, etc etc! Roti and Ting serves up one of the finest Rotis ( beef, chicken, goat, shrimp or potato/channa) in our city! Loaded with correct portions and packed with awesome flavour! Kind and courteous service, if you’re in a bad grumpy mood STAY HOME!!! They have been around for years and years! This google review is the worst demon that avails you the means to complain and tear people down! Used to be one on one with the owner and he or she would readily solve the issue! Footnote: the word Caribbean reflects mainly Jamaican cuisine (which is sooo tasty) and the word West Indian reflects more Guyanese and Trinidadian cuisine (sooo yummy). After being in this country since 1965 (as old as the Canadian flag) from Guyana and Trinidad I noticed the signs on the restaurants and grocery stores, there’s a difference folks! So get out there and knock a Roti and doubles and stop yah whinin!!! Thank you Roti and Ting for providing quality service to us for all these years, heading there now by bus to enjoy bake and salt fish ( Saturday special only I believe) and might bring home a...

I went here last night just before closing. There was a young lady at the counter that wasn’t sure when asked if the doubles were buy 6 get one free. She went to the back for about 10-12 minutes and then my food was brought to me. There did not seem to be a cook there. I could hear a lot of banging around and microwaving. Paid for my food and brought it home. It was disgusting. The dough was hard. The chickpeas were laid between two doughs instead of folded into one nice soft dough. It was cold. There was no flavour to it. We had multiple people at home try it. We all felt the same. I am so disappointed. As I used to go here many years ago and it was the best place to get doubles. I would never go here again. There was a homeless guy outside the store who I had given what I thought was a really nice double, and was disappointed I gave him that as food. Not sure what happened over the years but it’s not a good change. As well there was one other lady with her that didn’t help the other worker but complained about how she wanted to go home. I got there at least 20 minutes or more...

I don’t give reviews. I don’t think I’ve ever given a review. But I really had to for this place. We ordered a curry chicken roti, curry goat roti, butter chicken roti and doubles. Let me tell you nothing absolutely nothing was good. I should have just listened to the reviews instead of giving it a chance. Everything was flavourless. Even adding my own bandanya pepper sauce and scorpion pepper sauce couldn’t save it. The bara for the doubles is very very thick and bland. Doubles is suppose to be thin and have that slight chew, these are not it. The channa was mushy. As my kids said I should have just made my own instead of wasting my money. Now I see why their prices are so cheap. Go elsewhere, drupatis, Mona’s, Leelas or Lena’s

Update: it’s the next day and I literally had to re-curry the meat and re season it. The channa unfortunately there’s no saving it. There’s something in it, I have no idea what it is but the flavour is just not it. Maybe way too much baking soda or something. No matter how much seasoning I added it will not save it. Plus I think it’s on the verge...
