What Samanta B doesn't like about Ali's Original Roti Shop:
Save your money and go to Richmond Hill for quality Trinidadian food at a cheaper price. This is a buss- up-shut Roti I just bought from them. It smells like it was cooked with oil oil and on a dirty surface. I've never seen anything like this. It is flat, View all feedback. What Marg G likes about Ali's Original Roti Shop:
This was not the roti we were expecting but WOW was it exactly the roti we needed. So delicious. Between my husband and I we ate the majority of the menu and it was all good. Each item worked as standalone components as well as a coordinated whole. The staff here is lovely and welcoming and was happy to answer all our questions about their food. Personally, I preferred the boneless beef simply so I didn't have to wor... View all feedback.

Nestled in the heart of the community, this once-beloved roti shop has seen a decline in quality and service, disappointing loyal patrons. Customers have reported issues ranging from poor food quality, such as off-smelling rotis and overpowering spice levels, to unwelcoming staff interactions. In contrast, a handful of diners still resonate with the flavors offered, praising dishes for their deliciousness and friendly service. Despite the inconsistency, many lament the lost charm of a locale that once promised an authentic taste of Trinidad. As patrons weigh their options, the restaurant faces an uphill battle to win back its previous acclaim.

I was disappointed to find out that they were out of spinach and I didn't get the Buss up I had wanted. Instead, they replaced it with a veggie plate, but the f...
