I hate giving bad reviews, but this place has earned it. My first experience of this place is when my roomate ordered a medium butter chicken roti. The medium was the spiciest thing i have ever tasted in my life, and I love spicy food. I thought they possibly messed up and spilled the whole bottle of cayyenne pepper into the roti and served it anyway. I decided to give it another shot, ordered it medium-hot. I guess i should not have been suprised but it was legitmately unedible. I wasted my money, and i havnt even mentioned that they refuse to give you a decent portion of chicken. this place sucks, find a better roti elsewhere.

It’s good. If you enjoy roti this place is yummy. Good somosas too. Saag paneer is better at roti time but the butter chicken roti and fries are awesome.

This place cut off the protein pinnacle of the food pyramid to make a depressing food trapezoid. Pros: Wide selection of vegetarian options… including the meat ones. There is adequate butter in the butter chicken. Within walking distance to better burritoed food options. Cons: Poverty protein will catabolize your heard earned gains. Made to order = long waits, stiff vegetables. Spicy scale depends on how you’re racially profiled. Can vary from Michael Cera harmless to subcontinent fury. The bright signage keeps me up at night.

So good. I’m in Toronto and wanted something quick and delicious and this hit the spot. I was staying by the airport and drove all the way here to try it based on the reviews alone and I got lucky! This place is great! I got the butter chicken roti and was not disappointed. The chicken is delicious, I love the potatoes in the wrap and it is spicy! Whew! If you are spice adverse be cautious. I like spice and usually order medium or even medium-hot when I get Indian. I got mild-medium and holy smokes! The perfect amount but very spicy still. This place is a must try for take out, dine in or delivery!

Ugh, frik this place. Honestly, their ratio of BS filler ingredients, i.e. potatoes & peas to the good stuff i.e. Paneer, chicken, Shrimp is flipping whack. I’ve been here twice and got MADSHEISTED on chicken and paneer, yea, the rotis are big, but its 90% cheap shit like potatoes and 10% of the protein you should be paying for. Like, get the fuck outta here guys. First time I went here I got the butter chicken roti, and that shit was basically all potatoes ya, ll and I paid like 15 bucks for it? And the pieces of chicken were fucking little baby pieces that an infant would spit at and be like«What the shit is this shit ya fools?» So I held a grudge for a year and promised I would never go back. Then yesterday I was walking by and the smell emanating from this place was too good to resist so I was like«OKAYBUTTERCHICKENROTIHEREISYOURSECONDCHANCE.» I went for the Mutter Paneer and asked them to «hold the potaties and make it saucy» and what I got was a FUCKINGPEAROTI. It was absurdly over packed with peas, like straight up exploding with peas, WHOWANTSTOEAT A FUCKINGROTICOMPRISEDENTIRELYOFFUCKINGPEAS. It was an atrocity. And yet again, maybe a total of like 7 pieces of paneer. The cook here is a sheister and this time I AMNEVERCOMINGBACK.

Pros: Menu is massive! The best thing about this place is that it can accommodate vegan, vegetarians, and meat eaters. The place is really clean and quite spacious. The portions of the roti are huge. The food is made fresh! Cons: Be prepared to wait a while. It takes about 10 – 15 minutes to get your meal. But keep in mind it’s made once ordered. The stools by the window are strangely designed and are uncomfortable. If you’re wearing shorts you’ll probably leave with these geometric imprints on your legs.

At first I thought this place was a bit pricy, but it’s a lot of food! You could probably have half for lunch and save the other for dinner(or share between two people). Aside from large portions, it’s pretty tasty too! I’ve tried their Butter Chicken Roti(spicy) which was amazing! I’ve also had their Saag Chicken Roti(Saag Chicken is one of my favourite indian dishes) which was okay. Would come back!

Came here a few times to try different rotis. Had the butter chicken as well as lamb masala and the vegetarian eggplant roti. Lamb masala was the best of the three, but watch out for the spice levels. Medium is not for the average Joe!

Beautiful! Hits the damn spot. I always get the signature dish, butter chicken roti. Totally delicious. Note: this stuff packs some serious heat. I usually order spicy things«medium» but the medium here is actually HOT. The hot(never tried it) will likely scorch your esophagus and melt your face. However, having said that, the«mild» isn’t punchy enough! So they split the difference and offer an ingenious compromise: «Mild-Medium». Perfect.

Just thinking of this place makes my mouth water! I’ve tried the lamb masala and the butter chicken roti and they’re so goood. I’d say to be careful to challenge their spicyness because it truly is spicy which made me have to chug two fantas and take breaks inbetween eating – and I’m usually the type to add hot sauce in everything.

Admittedly, last night’s dinner was my first-ever roti. It was also concequently the first time that, a la Lisa Simpson, I could see through time. I like my heat but holy hey, that«medium’ was suicide-wing level. One star removed for having to deface the delicious flavours with ketchup to help it go down. (Side note: The masala fries were fantastic, and did not require any sort of ketchup dousing.)

After a busy day in downtown I decided I wanted something to eat where it reminded me of back home but it gives the kick where only certain people could enjoy it. I was surely mistaken. Because with their variety in the menu everyone can enjoy their food! Especially those who were trying spicy food for the first time as there are different levels of spices you may ask for in your food. The food was fresh as well as the vegetables that were given to us on the side. Having such fresh indian food with a kick is not something we get here everyday! Very refreshing, very authentic flavours. Priced right according to the area!

Wowzers… Now I’m Punjabi & this roti is better then back home. This is the best East Indian delight Ever! Watch out though even Medium will burn your mouth down, try to order in between Mild-Medium for the best spice unless your a daredevil or a Mistress of the Spices.

I heard of this place from a coworker and have had the opportunity to try it twice. I’ve tried the signature butter chicken roti and the chicken korma roti. They are both very good. The sizes are very large and enough to share with 2 people if you also get fries. I’ve gotten the mild-medium spice level and would recommend that if you are not sure how spicy to get. I would say their spice rating is reflective of indian spicy, which I think can get very very hot! Great place to check out, décor is very nice/hipster, a lot of seating. Mango lassi is worth trying as well as they do a good concoction.

I am on a butter chicken phase and had been trying a lot of different butter chicken roti’s downtown but this is by far the best I have been to. Recommend their signature butter chicken, it’s delicious, their spiciness level is the real deal, and the portions are appropriate. Highly recommend it if you’re an avid butter chicken fan!

I had the saag chicken roti and tried a bit of the chicken korma curry roti. The thing is absolutely massive. It weighs and looks like a brick sitting in its cardboard box. It’s packed with a piping hot filling and the aroma that escapes as you first cut into it is quite tantalizing. The romance wears off with the second or third bite as you realize you’re just eating starch. My biggest issue was with the roti itself. I found it too leathery rather than soft and doughy. I also wished that the chicken was more of a slow cooked and tender variety as opposed to chewy. Come with an appetite, a big one.

I had their main«butter chicken»(which oddly enough seemed to be offhandidly mentioned in their menu — it was pretty damn delicious, and pretty massive. One thing — I asked for medium, and it was way hotter than that. I’m an immigrant and all that, so I’m used to some heat, but medium was more than just that. I’d actually give it a 3.5 — I’d eat there again, but the serving size was so massive that I would only do it if truly starving.

My colleagues went there on Monday and enjoyed it. I got something with them on Friday. Apparently the butter chicken was better on Monday. I was not a fan of what was served either. Not the traditional butter chicken. this seemed more cumin’ish than tomato based. I’ll give them one more try. $ 11.95 for a huge roti so it’s definitely worth the money.

This is another College restaurant I’ve been watching go up on my morning streetcar ride to work. Finally, today was the day I made lunch plans to head to Butter Chicken Roti! Being a huge fan of Gandhi’s, but working too far away to make it a feasible lunch option, I was pretty excited when I saw Butter Chicken Roti(let’s go with BCR from now on) — it’s only 15 minutes away, which is totally doable for lunch! Upon arrival, I was happy with what I saw — a few smaller tables and a communal table. It has a casual feel — you go up and order and pay at the cash, choose a seat, and let the waiting commence. Perfect for a quick lunch. The menu has a decent selection of vegetarian, chicken, lamb, and shrimp rotis, as well as a few other side options such as fries. I decided to go with my heart and order their special dish — the butter chicken roti, in mild(of course). At $ 12 compared to $ 10, I was hesitant, because I was already feeling like perhaps prices were a bit steep. I also added on a $ 2 mango lassi, which was tart and delicious, and tided me over while I waited. And wait we did. A group of 6 had come in before us, so the cashier let us know to expect a 10 – 15 minute wait(we had already ordered, what choice did we have!) but I think it stretched into about a 20 minute wait. In addition, a few other people had ordered my lunch dish, so it was a great disappointment every time my order was called, but then wasn’t mine! A number system is definitely in order from them. Since the restaurant wasn’t even half full, they should think about getting another chef — BCR quickly was being written off as a lunch place after that wait. When i finally got my giant, delicious roti, I was starving! It was quite good, but at $ 12 and waiting 20 minutes, it wasn’t really worth it, and I’m not tempted to go back any time soon. Unless they make some changes to their pricing and wait times, I am disappointed to say I’m not sure how long BCR will last — but here’s hoping it becomes a more viable lunch option as time passes and they work through the kinks, and roti can become a more regular part of my diet!
