Maybe a personal record between the time of updating reviews, but after checking in here recently I was surprised I gave it 4. Not a bad review and perhaps the experience at the time, but just that I can say I've been back here countless times since and that I absolutely love this place. I can say for sure my experiences with service and spice level are different from my first visit. They're super friendly here and provide such wonderful service, even when ordering a simple lunch special. Very nice place to dine in too. And the spice is VERY hot here. I really enjoy spicy food and I can say that even the standard 'hot' here can really test my limits. The roti is fantastic, as are the doubles. Love this place and a major bonus to have in this side of town. read more

Had roti with chicken curry wrapped so good and fresh and tasty,nice sitting area if you wanna dine in. Very nice people running it.

The food was delicious! We had jerk chicken and curry chicken. The double is a must try. So good!!

It's been a while since I have had Trini food and was really craving for roti. This place was marked for a long time and finally made it. The best part, the menu is clearly marked what is vegan, ordering is so easy. The girl on the counter still answered all the questions. Stuffed Roti with Daal and Channa and ordered extra hot. The large roti is LARGE and good size. The Channa very flavourful and hot sauce super good. Would definitely come again and try other dishes. read more

Hello fellow foodies I bring you another food review today for some curry goat and roti . This restaurant is located in the plaza beside the Fresco grocery store a nice clean and covid compliant place . I read some mixed reviews on this place but decided to try it out for myself today and see what there all about. Food 4/5 The curry goat was very nice tasty flavorful and tender well made with a really nice gravy . Really enjoyed it However for $11,00 dollars for the small portion I found it pricey . The paratha bread I really cant tell you if it was good or not as this was my first time trying this type of bread , but it seemed nice to me not having anything to compare it to . The reason for my rating is there price point and customer service . Service 2/5 my biggest issue with my first time visit to this place was the poor unsatksfactory customer service at this place just terrible . The young gentleman working behind the counter with a thuggish attitude that really seemed that he did not want to be there. Very rude attitude, not friendly at all, did not listen to instructions after asking him for hot sauce on the side twice ,he still managed not to listen or forget it in my order. And just mumbled extremely poor communication skills . I dont understand how owers of restaurants can have a front line worker like this greeting there customers and taking orders. read more

Found this little gem through Yelp (thanks fellow Yelpers!). Opted for the veggie plate with roti - it was so good. Tried the pumpkin, eggplant, chickpea, and potato curries, all were delicious. Roti skins were thin and tender, so so satisfying. We chose to eat in the restaurant which was cozy and clean. Bae had the boneless chicken roti and said he enjoyed it very much. They also have plenty of meat options for all of you carnivores out there. Try the "Ting" soda if you haven't before, it is a great accompaniment to the spicy roti. Will be back again to try their other vegetarian options. read more

I came here around 1pm on a friday and it wasn't busy at all. I ordered their lunch special to go which a small boneless chicken roti for $6 including tax. I asked for spice on the side because I find this can easily overpower the other flavours. Although they are not skimpy on the chicken, I felt that the roti was quite dry and different then what I normally get in Mississauga. There was also not enough sauce inside the roti. Although it was decent, it did not wow me enough to come back. read more

Came here twice in one day... literally hours apart! first time we came just got pick up some doubles because we had a craving and we were really happy with their service! Not the mention the doubles tasted amazing. While we were there we looked at the menu and decided what we did want to come back for. We usually go to the location down in scarborough so it was nice to know one closer to me was now open. So we came back to this plaza to get dinner only to be disappointed by the location we visited so we decided to go back to where we were happy. This time around we dined in, i got the goat boneless small roti and my fiancé got the regular chicken roti - mild of course. We were both happy with the portion size and flavour it, totally gave me my fix for west indian food! we definitely will be back again! read more

This review is solely based on their doubles as I haven't tried anything else on their menu. My coworker has gotten me many doubles from the Etobicoke location, so I was psyched when I saw they were opening a location right by my house! I don't like getting my food too spicy to the point where I can't enjoy it, so I always get my doubles with slight spice. Trust me, they can make them really spicy for you if that's what you like! I just love Drupati's doubles so much! Their flavours and chick pea filling is so delicious. I've tried Vishnu's and they're just not as good to me. I kind of feel like theirs is a little too greasy. Yes, Drupati's doubles can get greasy but not as. Also a double is pretty much a meal for me and at 1.99, you really can't lose lol. They just opened this year, so if you're looking to try some good doubles, come here! My coworker also loves their chicken roti. I have yet to try it! read more

Yummy food and quick service! Obsessed with their boneless goat and roti and aloo pies.

Their food is healthy and delicious . The food is so filling I love supporting my culture proud to be Caribbean happy to support my people I love the seasonings and spices they put in there food . The people are so friendly and courteous they have such a positive attitude I have had really great conversations with them they're so pleasant to talk too which is rare you find people like that to talk too usually most people at restaurants are so rude and unfriendly and just the opposite so it's so refreshing to see people who are not only professional but very cordial to talk too . No complaints love this place . read more

The food here is so flavourful and amazing! The staff is very nice, friendly, and gave me recommendations on what to get! Food is so fresh and I didn't have to wait long at all. The setting is very relaxing and comforting. 10/10 I recommend this place to everyone. read more

Probably the best roti I've ever had ANYWHERE in the GTA. Prices are reasonable, and they have an impressive selection of West Indian drinks and snacks in addition to the mindbendingly good roti. read more

Food was okay lacked seasoning and rice was very over cooked . The corn soup lacked flavour.

Good curries...the rice and beans could be much better. The jerk has a good taste to it but the chicken seems fragile ...( brittle chicken bones). read more

First attempt at Trinidad cuisine and luckily a good introduction to it. I was told by a friend to try Doubles in general and due to proximity & timings we ended up here. Service was super friendly and place is tidy. Doubles were great, not too greasy and chickpeas were melting in my mouth. For a party of six, I believe we ordered a lot! 2 doubles, 1 plulourie, 1 sahiena, 1 jerk chicken plate, 1 veg platter, 2 boneless chicken and 1 bone-in chicken plate. Too much! My major take away from today's adventure was Sahiena and Mango Curry. Without giving away any spoilers, these are a must try! Chicken in all dishes was tender and juicy. But next time around we're gonna ask for spicy level. Medium didn't leave any after taste. Guess we're gonna hunt down all other Trinidadian joints now! read more

My boyfriend ordered the curry goat roti for us. It looks like a burrito. The curry goat was savory, spicy and very flavorful. We would come back again to try the other items on the menu. A medium is a little too spicy for him so be careful. read more

Ohhhhhh how I love roti. This is by far one of my new favorite spots for roti. Its very busy services is quick and food comes quick. T None the less its well worth the wait. I ordered the regular size boneless goat roti. Now for those of you that have had roti you will know that sometimes depending where you get the roti 1 may not be enough. Being my first time i ordered a small rice and peas to go with the roti that I ordered. Big mistake the roti was huge and probably weighed about 5 lbs lol. A meal on its own. The roti was bursting with flavor leaving me wanting to lick the plate lol. Rice and peas were fresh and tasty as well. Drupatis you will be seeing a lot of me. read more

Doubles are great. Always the get the jerk Chicken and rice and peas. Recently the jerk Chicken has become too dry for tasting.

Drupatis in Toronto has been a staple for our family so I expected the same from this location. Friendly staff 10/10 Food flavour 10/10 Value 5/10 I ordered the goat roti and you can only imagine the smile on my face when I walked out of the restaurant with my order that weighed a good 3lbs. When I got home and opened the massive roti I was surprised to see it was almost ALL ROTI. Goat roti $10.75, roti skin $2.75.....smh!! read more

Pepper On The Side - Drupatis Brampton...specializing in CARBS smh! - Caribbean Near Me - Brampton, Ontario

I ordered a large spicy hot chicken bone in plain roti wrapped to dine in. The portion size of the roti is good, the portions of the chicken is way too small & insufficient. Tastes really good! No gravy inside the roti very dry, I've had better at other Caribbean restaurants. The prices are a bit high, paid $10.49 for a large chicken bone in roti wrapped. The restaurant was empty, the menu is limited, save your money if you definitely set on Caribbean food read the reviews on yelp. I highly don't recommend this restaurant. read more

Discovered this place with a friend! I love their poulari and doubles!!! Place is clean and the staff are friendly. Prices are reasonable. They serve their food hot and fresh :) I love it - would go back here. I live five minutes away from this restaurant which is a bonus! read more

Loved their roti and chicken wrap. Was not a fan of their doubles. read more

Always go here for their doubles and chicken roti... consistent and never fails. Their food is delicious, their pepper level variates die to the peppers itself, one week they may be hotter then other weeks- it's all about the peppers. They offer variety of Caribbean eats, sweet and some home cooking to hit the spot! read more

We love this place. Have ordered several times and the food (vegetarian) is consistently delicious.

Ok their $5 mini rôti special is good. Def get the boneless goat, avoid the chicken which is just meh. Had their jerk chicken with rice and peas and curry goat gravy. It was SPICY!!! However the jerk chicken wasn't - it was more sweet, like BBQ or stew. Weird. Still tasty just not true jerk. Also had a bake and salt fish - nice. Will def eat here again and again and keep trying diff things off the menu. Next up - shrimp rôti, doubles and stew chicken!! read more

Don't ever order from this place. I have a injured back and can't walk and placed a order through uber eats with instructions requesting cutlery and hot sauce on the side. When the order arrived. There was neither. I called them and the lady I spoke to told me to eat with my hands and that they couldn't do nothing about the missing items, I told them I would've come picked up the food myself if I hadn't hurt my back, I was shocked at the ladies response. I hope people never go to this business. Worst customer service ever. read more

Best roti shop! Their doubles are amazing and they even sell the rotis separately which is great.

I am in search for good jerk chicken. I tried their jerk chicken style and it was pretty good. The flavour didn't seep into the meat though. It was dominantly the skin that had the flavour. Spice level was decent. The rice and peas was pretty good. Not as dry and flavourless as others. Is it normal to have slaw with your jerk chicken because I didn't get any? Other places I've tried always gave me coleslaw. I tried the chicken boneless roti and it was pretty good on the spice level. Portion wise, decent size for the price. read more

I've been going to this place for a while now. I personally feel that their food isn't as original as some of the other shops, but rather comes out much more refined and arguably better. They got the balance between all the flavours down nicely. The quality of their chicken is great too, just falls right off the bone as you touch it with the fork. Their spice levels vary greatly, they've still got ways to go to find the right amount of spice for each setting (mild,medium,hot). I first time I came I got medium and I was full from a couple of bites simply due to the amount of water I had to drink. The real hidden gem here is the coleslaw. It's simply amazing. However, if you want extra slaw it's a complete ripoff. $1.50 for a tiny container. Their doubles are pretty nice too. 4 stars for the work in progress spice levels and the ridiculously priced extra slaw. read more

I consider Drupatis to be one of the best roti shops in the GTA! I try to come here at least once a month for my fill of rotis. My usual order: boneless goat roti with slight pepper. As I write this review, my mouth is watering at the thought of rotis (lol). Great portions, one mini-sized roti offered in the week-day specials is enough to fill me for one meal or even two depending on my appetite. The spice used on the rotis is quite spicy and can overpower the other flavours. I have a decently high tolerance for spice, however, I found the medium spice difficult to eat. I recommend adding slight spice for those who enjoy spicy food as a starting point. The rotis served here bring back memories of those I enjoyed as a young child while in Barbados. Ah, if only Chefette could expand to Canada... Pros: DELICIOUS, great week-day specials, friendly staff, decent wait times. Cons: Can be a little pricey, but the quality is worth it. read more

I had a good Roti and it was pretty good. The Roti was soft and fresh and the curry had lots of flavour. I ordered a small and it was more than I could manage. The doubles we had was amazing! Great flavour - just the right amount of tamarind flavour. Warning get slight or med pepper unless you have a serious threshold for heat. I got medium and it was HOT! And i usually order hot with extra hot sauce on the side at restaurants. read more

Excellent jerk chicken. Rôtis were pretty stuffed. Curry chicken was great as well. Been back twice and will return again.

When I heard this restaurant had opened and in my neighbourhood, I was stoked. I love me some doubles and pholourie. It was recommended to try the bake and salt fish. Omg! The flavours in this dish is super delicious. They stuff the bake with ample salt fish, not too salty, balanced with the famous trini green seasoning and cabbage. My absolute favourite to order thus far, with a side of pholourie. The pholourie are deep fried dough balls served with a tamarind chutney sauce. Can be easily shared as an appetizer. Super yummy. A must try. I haven't tried their doubles yet, but it's next on my list. The staff are sweethearts, great customer service and always welcoming. They also have daily specials, which makes it affordable if you want something cheap. read more

We went to this restaurant last week for breakfast. We were pleased to find out about their breakfast buffet for $10.99 per person. It had all the good old home cooked foods like bake and saltfish, baigan choka (eggplant), fried potatoes and more. The only one thing that I'd say would have been nice is the buffet included only tea or coffee for a drink and if you don't drink one of those they wouldn't substitute it for juice or water so you had to pay extra for that. We will certainly be going here again :) read more
