    Conch roti
    Ayana P.

    One of my favorite spots for roti and doubles whenever Im in town for Caribana. The conch roti was delicious and it wasn't dry. The conch was perfectly tenderized. I quenched my thirst with a peardrax. Also, I always get a few of the coconut fudge to travel back with me. The wait and service is reasonable.

    Roti Hut, we love you and have for a long time. We love your Channa with doubles and pholourie. Dhalpuri roti so fluffy. Paratha roti. With goat, curry shrimp, conch, curry chicken, you name it, the seasoning and spices are just right. Everything tastes better at The Roti Hut. We love that you are on UberEats and SkipTheDishes too.

    This used to be the best authentic Trinidadian rotis in Toronto and my go to place for my roti cravings. But lately their roti is not what it's used to be. I usually order the Chicken Breast Boneless Curry roti and I now find that they're skimping on fillings and there's not enough sauce inside the roti. The meat is also rather dry and the dhal puri flatbread is not fresh and tasted old. Not also a fan of their doubles, too mushy for my liking and filled mostly with bland curried channa (chickpeas). I also find the service slower than before. You always end up waiting more than 15 mins for your order eventhough it's not busy and there's no lineups. With limited places to go in Toronto for the best Trini roti (and I've tried a lot of them), I'm having second thoughts of coming back to Roti Hut and just suppressing my roti cravings until I find the next best place.

    Vegetable roti
    Sherif S.

    This place is a hidden gem. It is not located on the main road and I only came across it because I did a search for rotis on yelp. We ordered the beef oxtail roti, vegetable roti, and the chicken roti. The chicken roti was good. The roti that was surprisingly good was the vegetable roti .... There were chickpeas, spinach, potatoes in it that helped give it a different texture and taste to it. I highly recommend this one. The oxtail roti was a bit of a disappointment ... I didn't realize there were bones in it so I spent some times digging the bones out. Overall, I would come back again for the rotis.... It definitely warrants a repeat visit!

    Roti Hut has some decent roti. We tried the goat roti and chicken roti, and I'd recommend the less expensive and more tender meat chicken roti. There's a good amount of meat and potatoes. Maybe a tad too much wrap, but at least it is fresh!

    Went to the roti hut after seeing a lot of pictures off their doubles on Instagram. Ordered two chickpeas curry doubles, oxtail dinner and their homemade peanut punch. The doubles were very dry. The oxtail curry taste was good but the oxtail pieces were very fatty. The homemade peanut punch was very good.

    Beef roti

    The beef roti we ordered was delicious. The portions are pretty generous, enough to share a meal. Can't wait to go back!

    Jerk chicken with rice and peas and a homemade peanut punch!

    You can tell this place was a local favourite by the vast amount of people constantly coming in EVEN during quarantine! The advantage of waiting in line was that I had more time to think on what I wanted to order. HOWEVER, the way their line up snakes is completely not social distancing and I wore a mask but many people did not, eek! I would recommend calling ahead and picking up directly from the counter to skip the squished line. I had to google like half the things on this menu because I'm not always exposed to Caribbean food but was pleasantly surprised to see how much choice there was. I ended up getting a curry goat roti and homemade peanut punch. Phil got jerk chicken dinner with rice n' peas. He just had jerk chicken dinner from Chris jerk yesterday so he wanted to do a direct comparison. Shivani got doubles with meat (chicken and goat). The waiting area was very busy and the music was loud so it has hard to hear the orders being announced. I would suggest they use order numbers instead of just naming the items so it's easier for the staff to say and easier for patrons to hear. The peanut punch was so good and creamy and pure peanut, loved it!! Curry goat was really good but at one point half the roti was potato and half was goat. Not really even? However I would order again. Jerk chicken dinner was not as great as Chris jerk but still decently good. The chicken was moist and the rice was flavourful, however I think this place really is meant for roti so I would not order with rice again. The meat doubles were good too, very tasty gravy. Overall pretty decent roti!

    I've been coming here for over 10 years. I try to visit if I'm in that area of Scarborough to satisfy my Roti cravings. My faves are the Pumpkin and Spinach and the Curry Chicken Rotis. Seriously some of the best in the city. They also sell Allan's beef patties! Also, one of the best in the city.

    I haven't tried this place in awhile and they got a renovation honestly the restaraunt looks really nice and the service was really good but I ordered the jerk chicken roti maybe it was a mistake in my order but I didn't really like it there was no flavour I had to put the scotch honey hot sauce which was to hot. I don't know I lost interest going to this place again

    Chicken roti
    Caitlyn M.

    Good spot. Lots of seating. Ordered, sat and the food came out quickly. Service was friendly and the seating area was comfortable although relatively bare of any character. I came with two friends, two of us had boneless chicken roti and one had the jerk chicken roti. All of us had doubles. The food was okay. The doubles were missing the tamarind sauce, the filling was a little bland. Overall, not a bad place for roti... but not my new favorite. Theres a lot of competition in a small radius and Ive had better roti at spots a street or two away.

    As a newly located Scarborough resident of Carribbean descent I often ask myself where do I go to get some back home food, taste and flavours? Look no further then The Roti Hut ! This restaurant has years of experience in the caribbean market as it was established over 35 years ago making it a pioneer in providing mouth watering foods such as rotis of different flavour including veggie chick peas, chicken or beef, doubles, pholourie, curry goat and jerk chicken. Don't forget to wash it down with your choice of drinks like peanut crunch or your favourite soda or pop. I like pineapple, banana and of course kola champagne! I highly recommend to make you next caribbean style food choice to be The Roti Hut. Enjoy the music and the friendly vibes at this take out or sit down style family restaurant. Big group, family or just buy for yourself.

    Chickpea Double
    Tarrah L.

    Well, it's been about 10 years since I had The Roti Hut & I'm not quite sure if they changed management within that time frame but it definitely is not tasting how it used to. Overall the curry chicken roti had tender chicken & succulent potatoes but I found it extremely dry overall. Lacking in juices and flavour. The chickpea double was OK, but what do you really expect for chickpea mush in between that double bread? I was pumping myself up for this place but sadly I am disappointed. I also found a lady at the front was a bit stale in personality. I guess she only likes it when men come to the counter, not women, she looked at me like I had three heads. So for that reason, I will not be returning! There are much much much better roti places out there.

We had the jerk chicken with rice and peas, snapper with brown stew veggies and rice, stuffed oxtail patty...EVERYTHING WAS EXCELLENT! Jerk chicken was tender, full of flavor- great spices with the perfect balance of heat that was experienced throughout the bite, not just on the skin. The Snapper was cooked to order (30 minute wait). Tender, great flavor, not too many bones. Even the fish gravy was made to order as when I asked for more they had to make it. Deliciously worth the wait. The STUFFED OXTAIL PATTY was the star of the show. When they say stuffed, they mean it! This beauty is a creative love song in your mouth that your stomach will thank you for. It's buttery, soft, flaky, flavorful, fatty in the best oxtail kinda ways, and just....YES! You didn't know you needed this in your life but your welcome. This menu item can be a meal that stands on its own as I could only get through half of it as a side. Service was good. Just one young lady at the register holding down two long lines alone. One for the order and payment, and the other for pick up. She did well navigating high demand and customer satisfaction. Tip: Get extra gravy- we got extra oxtail, jerk, and fish and used it. Ambiance is mom & pop. You can eat there, or take it to go. Most people grabbed there's to go. Had we eaten ours there we probably would've ended up doubling our order and waistline. Well... in my Arnold Terminator voice, "I'll Be Back!"

All of the oxtail shredded meat, the cheese, the slaw, and the patty all perfectly come together into a very hearty meal. For its price, it is very filling and extremely tasty. The other thing we had was the Large Jerk Chicken meal. The Jerk Chicken was how I personally would want it. Not too hot, not too salty, not burnt, and spiced just right. The rice & beans proportion to the protein was just a little more than what I would prefer, but it is not a big issue. There was also a piece of bread that we had along with the meal which I enjoyed having. It was tasy and soft bread that perfectly acts to refresh the palate so we can go for another bite out of the Jerk Chicken or the Oxtail patty. What was a little letdown was that the place was a little small and not really primarily setup to accommodate a lot of indoor dining. There was no washroom or at least a place to wash hands. Service was also just alright. It was not bad, but just not among the best service standards that I know. You would need to come in with a lot of patience in waiting to order and waiting for the food to be ready to serve. Between taking orders, the person over the counter would also be occasionally be on the phone answering call inquiries.

    I learned recently that Grace Foods makes jerk chicken patties. I had to figure out where I could…read moregrab some. Aunt Elsie's Caribbean Kitchen had them in stock. I decided to drop by on Saturday, just after noon. It's in a fairly dumpy strip mall on Eglinton Avenue East, just west of Brimley Road, in Scarborough. There is plenty of parking. I parked fairly close to the entrance. A car was illegally parked in front of the business next to Aunt Elsie's. I don't get why folks need to do that when there are so many parking spots. Aunt Elsie's looks like a tiny convenience store from the outside, but looks are deceiving. It's also a small Jamaican grocery store that doubles as a takeout eatery. I was not expecting such an amazing place. I simply wanted patties! I found the Grace jerk chicken patties. They came in mild and hot flavours. I always go with mild when I'm not familiar with how spicy items can be. There are also Allan's and Michidean patties. You know that you are at a decent place. Although I felt like Ms Pac-Man as I moved around a small space with a bunch of folks while trying to physically distance, I looked at all the condiments and spices. This place uses space wisely. The wall of condiments and spices is impressive. I also looked longingly at the chilli peppers. They looked pretty and deadly! The hot foods counter blew me away. You can't help but gawk at all the yummy food options, from various fried fish, to jerk chicken and curry goat while you are in line to pay for your items. I took one look at the salt fish fritters and knew that I needed to try them. I got two. Note to self: Get the oxtail dinner next time. Get more hot items after that. I had a lovely, sweet woman behind the counter get my fritters and cash me out. I paid using my debit card. She also bagged my goodies. I thanked her and wished her a lovely day. The customers at this store are friendly. I loved the vibe. They were courteous and nice, which I'm not necessarily used to in my neck of the woods! I was still full from breakfast. However, I made room to consume a salt fish fritter in my car before I continued running errands. OMG! It was so flavourful. The fish was salted, but not to the point where you feel like you need to down a litre of your favourite beverage afterwards. It was seasoned perfectly. I think that there was garlic, onion, and red pepper, at least. So good! I have such a weakness for fritters and I'm glad that I caved here. I heated up a jerk chicken patty for breakfast (hey, why not?) this morning. It does have a spice kick that is more than what you'd typically expect from an item that is labelled mild. Highly yummy. The filling is flavourful and the dough part was perfect. Each patty is individually wrapped to preserve freshness. A box is $5.90. I love them! Aunt Elsie's was such a terrific find. If you want to order hot food in advance, this eatery is on Uber Eats. Otherwise, you can call ahead. (396)

Oxtail is always my go-to and this one didn't disappoint. We enjoyed everything. I wanted to give the full 5 stars but I have to say, I was missing the heat. That might've been on us for not asking for pepper sauce.
