This isn't a roti shop and shouldn't be in a review that involves authentic Caribbean roti, which is entirely different.]]>

Alex asks "Wow... did somebody just compare The Ghandi to some barely known run of the mill franchise?"

FYI Alex, Island Foods has been around for more than 30 years and have had a stand in the CNE food building since the 70's. And each of their 3 locations is family owned and operated, not franchised out. (The father started the business and each of his children run a location.)]]>

I think it's unreasonable to criticize Gandhi's for taking 20 minutes to serve you your roti.  They make the them fresh to order, even rolling out the shells. If you want fast food, go elsewhere; Gandhi's makes no pretense of offering it.  ]]>

I hired Avtar to come over and show how to make his chana masala and, yes, his butter chicken.  One of the people took detailed notes for the recipes.  I am obsessed with ghandi.  I also have the roti recipe.  

If you haven't gone, go mon-fri.  Avtar closes his shop to hang out with his family on the weekends.]]>

You miss so much in life that way.  Just go check it out then decide.  Don't let assumptions get in the way of good eats.  You don't have to be a vegetarian to admire Gandhi.]]>

I agree - the portions are smaller but the quality hasn't seemed to change - granted, I generally eat veggie. Honestly, I think they're tryna keep up with inflation without raising their prices. It's not easy to cook fresh food so cheaply...]]>

i love gandhi's and east indian style rotis, but the quality has been steadily going down the past few months.

1. the portions are getting smaller. the roti used to fill the entire container, now there are frequently corners "missing".
2. the rotis are sometimes very very salty.
3. the quality of the meats has been going down. before, the lamb was soft and tender, now its more chewy and rough.

i still go there once a week. but i think they are slacking since there is no competition in the area. i've also noticed that the girls behind the counter are no longer there, and now its some random dudes. was there an ownership change?

i hope they get their act together. and no longer open on weekends?!? boo-urns.]]>

Gandhi's is one of the best roti I have ever had.  I have tried all their non-vegetarian rotis and they are all excellent.

> I think on ethical grounds alone, I couldn't patronize a *non-
> veg* restaurant called 'Gandhi'. Like, seriously, wtf?

It's just a name.  Like Shoe.  It could have been called Shoe Roti, but that would not be very inspiring, would it?

ok ppl listen up and listen good bc i am only saying this once. gandhi is not a traditional "roti" shop in the common meaning of the term. basically gandhi sells mughlai dishes wrapped in sada roti. roti means "bread" in hindi and sada means "plain."  this maybe a unique hybrid of food peculiar to toronto as i have never seen anything like it before. 

as for traditional roti shops, they are based on the indo-trinidadian folk dishes. the roti used there is "dhalpuri" ( dhal = split peas, puri-a roti cook in oil, in trinidad this differs from the fried indian "puri" found in india). the filling is traditional "talkari" ( talkari = things you eat with roti , similar the the bihari talkari, most indo-trinidadians are from bihari origins). 

so in conclusion i hope i have shed light on the whole gandhi v. island foods debate. me it really depends on my mood but i do loves me some dhalpuri...]]>

Alex,

>>>Wow... did somebody just compare The Ghandi to some barely known run of the mill franchise? What has this world come to?


What an ignorant comment to make. Everyone knows Island Foods, and the only reason it's a "franchise" is because there's so much demand for it. And opening up two different locations isn't franchising, just like Ghandi opened up another store, with a different name mind you, but still the same thing.

I won't comment on Ghandi's because I've yet to try it, but I'm quite versed on Island Foods and I found your comment to be total bullshit.]]>

I'm going to try the "deluxe" Roti's but you can never go wrong with medium heat boneless chicken Roti. Yu-u-u-u-u-um!It is *so* good and the portions are *huge* (and I am not a light snacker)! I always drop by for lunch when I'm in the area and always leave full and satisfied after one of their wonderful Rotis!]]>
