Roti Palace Restaurant — Restaurant in Toronto

A simple metric for ANY West Indian restaurant is their doubles. If they cannot make simple fried puri and curry channa, I wouldn't trust anything else on their menu to be good. I visited Roti Palace at lunch for a couple doubles and (hopefully) a peardrax. My first warning sign was that they were not at all busy...and this is during peak lunch hour. My second warning sign was seeing a plastic bag full of puri sitting in the display case.

Pros: Clean looking establishment. Neutral staff. They were not happy/polite, but at least they were not rude.

Cons: Fried puri is HEAVY(more like fry bake) Puri is NOT fresh. They fry a batch at once and store it in a plastic bag. Curry Channa is bland. Only 2 choices of chutney(pepper and tamarind). both sauces are watered down and bland. On top of the bad tasting doubles, they charge me $2.50 each. I would only pay that amount if it actually tasted GOOD. Very little assortment of West Indian drinks. They didn't even have Peardrax.

In general, If you have ever had a "tasty" doubles (such as from Roti Roti, Brampton Roti Shop or Leela's) before, you will NOT like these doubles.

This Restaurant is clean and service is good as always by the staff! Food is very tasty! Whether it’s the veggies, chicken or goat! Portion is excellent compared to Leela, Roti Roti, etc. In those places, u hve to pay for hot sauces, tamarind sauces but it’s watered down, whereas this place it’s very hot sauce bcz I like hot. Chowmein, Fried Rice, Fried fish, salad, fry plantain and Dholl Puri, etc. is excellent bcz I hve a good taste bud. Also, I am a very good cook too. To be honest, this place sells lots of poulouries, but doubles isn’t too much of seller bcz of the area and customer. That’s what I observed! No Restaurant makes fresh DBLS bcz the cook makes a bunch of them and keep them inside bcz I eat out a lot from many other places. Cooks are Guyanese and not Trini. Doubles isn’t a Guyanese thing but a Trini snacks but poulourie, and baras yes. This Restaurant cater as per customer’s need and location bcz u only cater for what u can sell. That’s what I observed. As for taste and cleanliness this is the place to visit. U will not regret, the portion and price is right. Drop in and see for...

On Monday I bought a small cookup rice which used to be around $7 plus taxes and I noticed a sign saying new prices on menu and so I looked at it and saw that the small cookup rice is now $11 plus dollars almost double what it used to be so as I'm there I went ahead with the purchase only to find out later that I was charged $15.40 on my debit card and to top it off the food tasted stale and it looked like they used left over chicken and mixed it all up, I'm so done with this place see...
