What Jonathan Gurvey likes about Famena Famous Roti & Curry:
One of the best restaurants in Winnipeg. I absolutely love this place- the roti is full of flavor, and can be as spicy as you want it. Mohammed and Famena are genuine, salt of the earth people who are always dependable for a great conversation. I hope this spot sticks around forever, I don't know what I'd do without it.
