I went to the Roti Lady for the first time today. It was enjoyable and I'll definitely go back. I got three roti for $13.50, and even though they're a bit smaller and a bit doughier than some other places, it is still incredible value. 

I really liked the flavour of these rotis. It's funny that the reviewer didn't like the squash or the spinach. Those are two things I really felt like praising. The spinach in particular was remarkably flavourful. The squash is sweet and a bit tangy, absolutely, I assumed that was the point and I liked it. It's probably store-bought pumpkin purée or something jazzed up with spices but so what? That's the way I like my rotis. It goes great with the vinegar/habanero flavour of the hot sauce.

Yes, these ones are really folded up so you get a few bread bites. I'm fine with that too (at this price). If I wanted all filling I'd buy (guess what) curry on a plate. Roti is a bready snack, not an elegant meal. People who are offended by bread should eat something else.

I agree with Chip.  Roti Lady is a simple family (3 people) run business.  I consider myself to have a somewhat personal relationship with Roti Lady herself.  We chat like neighbours.  Granted, the food quality has gone a little downhill, and she did raise her prices a tad - but I think that she has done wonderfully considering the hand she was dealt recently. Her family back home has been sick, as has her husband.  She's doing a great job getting back on track - and I'll continue to support her.]]>

I went to the Roti Lady once. Yeah, it's a bit grungy, but if they pass the savings onto the customer, then why not? But one bit and *crunch*. wtf? Both of the rotis had multiple pieces of hard plastic in them! Looked like it was from the side of an ice cream container. I took the hint, considered myself lucky that it wasn't worse and never went back.

If you want try a small, family-run roti joit, there's a place one block east (across from the vacant lot where the 7-11 used to be) that is inexpensive and quite good.]]>

I won't be going to Mr. Sub. I will be going to Bacchus or Mother India which have better tasting rotis for about the same price.

I don't mean any disrespect to the owners of Roti Lady. I'm sure they're nice people and I take you at your word that they're community oriented. I just, personally, don't much care for their veggie roti. It has nothing to do with the fact that the restaurant looks like a storage locker. I'm completely comfortable eating food from less polished places like this. It was simply an observation and didn't impact my feelings about the taste of the roti.]]>

I have been eating roti in toronto for over 30 years and I am a regular at Roti lady among other parkdale roti shops. I find the Roti Lady to be a pleasant step into a rapidly disappearing world of small casual family businesses . Seeing as the reviewer  takes issue with this and the the decor or lack of it here perhaps he should seek out   a big box roti franchise more to his liking in the suburbs. Personally i like the total west indian vibe and character of the tiny place, i don't mind the cardboard boxes  though the reviewer above seems to be completely oblivious to the fact that it is very small place and where the heck else are they supposed to store all their supplies and besides it is obviously a take out place. I prefer to sit outside when eating there in the summer, a nice picnic table is provided though the reveiwer also missed this delightful opportunity to sit and watch parkdale roll by while enjoying a home cooked with love affordable Roti. (not everyone can drop $10 + for a roti at some of the other locals)Any one else who frequents the shop knows that the warm loving  Roti lady herself cares deeply about her community and people in it, she  cooks for many of the high schools students and watches out for the local kids including making sure they eat something nourishing.Roti lady isn't for everyone but then neither is parkdale.
advice to Tim, next time go to MR sub.]]>

I have eaten there about a year ago, and it was fine.  The owner herself was very friendly and made delicious plantain - best I had ever had.  But the second time the plantain was just average.  So it's a bit of hit and miss, I guess.  It was also dirt cheap then, too.]]>
