This popular West Indian Toronto chain offers over 10 different varieties of roti and nine plated dinners (all with curried potatoes, mixed vegetables, rice and peas). Oxtail stew satisfies cravings for comfort food. Sweet tooths are tempted by desserts: gizzarda (coconut tart), tamarind balls and peanut drops. Although popular for takeout, the dining room is large enough to accommodate both couples and bigger groups. Mains $3.75–$7.
