Roti Time

This is the best Roti in the city. Some people will tell you Ghadhi’s is better, but they you realize they’re all owned by the same family and it makes sense why they’re equally delicious.
At about $ 10 bucks each, they’re not priced to move, but they’re totally priced fairly. You get a good about of food for a fair price.
If you’ve followed any of my reviews, you’ve discovered that price plays a huge part in how I give out my stars. For me to think, «this isn’t a super deal, but my word would I return,» that’s saying something.
If I was feeling a Roti, there’s no other place I would go!

I really wanted to like this place but there was a lot of things holding me back.
–This place was not the prettiest on the inside.
–Flavours just weren’t there!
–My roti was very bland.
–Price was not worth the food.

The food here is good, got the butter Chicken roti. The service is slow and when you order food it takes forever, so call in advance.

Unassuming little place in a WalMart neighbourhood — but what great Roti! My favourite roti place in the city.

Place looks good from outside, but is more of a dive inside. It doesn’t look the cleanest, but not dirty either. Ordered the tikka massala roti and eggplant roti with a pakora on the side. It was served to go although we had intended to stay. The guy said I told him it was to go, but I never mentioned it. He did accommodate us by giving us some utensils and a pitcher of water. The pakora was quite dry. It didn’t matter how much chutney I used, it feels like I was eating a powdery cookie. Both roti was pretty good. Not much meat on the tikka massala chicken and the sauce was quite hot even though I ordered medium, but the roti itself was great. The crêpe like texture made it amazing to bite into. Overall, I don’t think it is anything special. Further to that, the previous reviewer was right… They take a while to prepare which is not necessarily a bad thing, but I should have ordered ahead of time.
Update: we had had left over from this visit and had them the next day. The food is like KFC. It was better the day after. My Gf thought the same. I think the roti absorbed some of the liquid which made the texture and taste much better. It also wasn’t too hot like when it is served fresh.

Regarding my experience a few years ago, while this restaurant was named Gandhi Roti:
After finding out about an Indian restaurant in our neighborhood, my family was very excited and we had high expectations. Sadly, our experience fell way short of our expectations. We ordered a bunch of curries (chicken korma, butter chicken etc.) and they all had very little meat and too much potato.
We were also disappointed to hear that rice had to be order separately and did not come with the curries. My brother also got food poisoning after eating here on that occasion. So no more Gandhi Roti/​Roti Time for us.

Butter chicken roti hands down is the best! I also enjoyed their mango lassi too. Their veggie pekora was a little burnt but tasted delish nonetheless. It’s located at a location that turns into a one way so you might have to make a U-​Turn depending where you’re coming from. Also, if you’re going order for take out call earlier as they take a bit of time to prepare and you can run errands at the Wal-​Mart across the road :)

Kind of expensive (like $ 13) but the butter chicken roti is beyond delicious. Word to Vishnu.

Big fan of the food. Regular customer. Went in the other day, stood there, looked around, called hello, waited and waited, nobody ever showed up. Left. Hungry.
Call first.

Take a quick look at yer skin color right quick cuz this ain’t no wing place, it’s a Roti shop boy. Belieee dat.
Whatever you decide to order lemme talk to ya, mainly to you white folk — please please be careful on what kinda hotness level you choose, this ain’t wing toppings, it’s straight up spice and when they tell you it going to be spicy; that’s brown for multiply that by three.
If you experienced Roti and brown food then this place will bring you home. It’s straight outta the south (asia).
Uneducated folks start googlin’. The chickens spiced deliciously, God dam. The breas cooked up to par and toasted as perfect as can be. When you open up the Roti you got the korma lookin’ mixed with butter tastin and if you brave enough, spicy flakin (I know. I’m a loser) but seriously they mix It up with potatoes as well and cook it very evenly.
Now here’s the problem. There’s way too much korma or butter or whatever they mixed to make the tastey goo, slim that down a bit and it be perfect.
Next problem… Unless you’re going in at lunch. A Roti gonna cost a brotha 14 $ and add another 3 if you want rice. I ain’t complaining about portion size cuz it’s dam good amount but this is considered fast food Indian style so charging 14 $ is robbery which is why if you step into this place at night it’s lookin like the real Sahara.
Momma approves but her bank account don’t. Awesome tastin place tho.

Good portion, good spice, good flavour, good value!
Will definitely be back!

Well I’ve been ordering here for a while now and I personally love the butter chicken. The prices are pretty high but the food is kind of «meh» for what you are paying for. BUT the last time I ordered there, my mom, brother and I decided to eat there. We ordered two dishes, the butter chicken, and a roti. First, we were ordering at the counter, and the phone would ring and the guy would spend massive times on the phone, not talking to a customer. Second, he wasnt very friendly, he seemed clueless and tired. We came there expecting to take less than an hour to eat. But it took over a half an hour to get our food! It was empty at the time and the kitchen was quiet. Having this much time to sit, bored, I noticed that the place is super out dated and old. But besides all that, I give 5 stars for the food and 1 star for service, I recomend calling and eating at home.

We have been to this restaurant a number of times in the past. I loved their samosas (when they had them) and their mutter paneer roti. However, we ordered once about two months ago and we had to throw it out it was so bad. We tried it again last month, thinking it was just a bad day. Again, it wasn’t the same as it used to be. But giving them the benefit of the doubt, we tried once more last weekend. We placed our order at 7:00pm– again they had no samosas, but that was expected– at. 7:45 when our food was still not ready, we told them we wouldn’t be returning. It’s a shame, we used to love their roti but definitely not worth the wait and sick of them not having items in their menu.

Just like Ghandi’s downtown but way more seating area, cleaner and right in my neighborhood! We were the first to arrive sunday (open only from 6−8pm) and took about 15mins for our food. Right after our order the phone calls and customers rushed in. Small business but good, affordable food. Would definitely come back here!

Better than Ghandi.
That’s all I need to say here I think.
Order take out… You’ll be back again next week.

Love this place. Delicious and huge portions. Haven’t had anything non-​veg but the veg rotis are top notch! Try the saag paneer! You won’t be disappointed!

After driving by this place for the last two years, I had a roti craving and needed to satiate that and my curiosity. Thanks to these Unilocal reviews I decided to try Roti Time. I am so glad I did! My experience was consistent with previous reviews. The place is plain inside, but clean. The smell inside this place really got my taste buds excited… the wait for food might be welcomed by some! The order process wasn’t clear, however. I called in my order and don’t recall hearing an order number but upon arriving people were quoting theirs. So be prepared when calling in…
I ordered just the butter chicken roti and it was fantastic! I have not stopped thinking about it :) I was pleased to find that it didnt have too many potatoes and would call the mix ‘just right’. Give this place a try and enjoy.

One evening a few months ago i felt like taking a longer detour home to maybe explore the neighborhood a lil bit. Just as i passed by this place I was hit with an invisible force of fragrant spices coming out of this corner street establishment. I continued walking and was about a block away and the aroma was still lingering in the air and, I no longer had the ability to keep walking away so I turned back and walked in to the resto.
Since then I’ve been here 4 times: the first time was a little bit too spicy and oily for me but that’s just personal preference. The last time I went I asked for mild spice and less oil and it was bang on. I still get craving pangs for The vegetarian cauliflower which is my favorite so far.
Do check this place out. It is sort of a dive so don’t expect designer décor.

They used to be on par with Gandhis but the new owners are not the same. Not that its bad just not nearly as good as Gandhis.
Worth a visit but if you want the real deal go downtown.

When we can’t make it down to Queen West for Gandhi’s rotis, we swing by here. I think the story is that the owners of Roti Time were trained by the Gandhi guys so the food is quite on par.
I always get the same thing — mattar paneer roti ($ 10). As I watch them pour the cream to make the sauce, I’m sure that one roti probably has the calorie equivalent of 5 Big Macs so I can just hear myself getting fatter. The roti is large and I can only eat about ½ in one sitting. It’s stuffed with plenty of peas and cubes of cheese.
We usually grab our food to go but there is a small dining room. Plenty of parking near by on the residential streets and in the Walmart parking lot across the street.
