Opinions de Jen's Roti Shop Brooklyn
Wow! Hands down some of the best roti I've had in a long time... Full of flavor and the food made with love. Went there for dinner and was greeted by friendly staff. I'll definitely be back again.
I had the pleasure of going to Jen’s - I tried the currants roll, cake and they even have curry mango .Everything was very tasty and reminds me of being home. Definitely worthwhile- I will be back soon.
One of the best local places for a good chicken roti and other Trinidadian dishes but the customer service is not consistent and the line can be long with an even longer wait time. We understand that good employees are hard to come by but it's a balancing act in the food business. Find the right balance and your profit margin goes through the roof.
I love this restaurant. It’s one of the few places I would order from for West Indian cuisine. The food is always fresh and tasty. I love their macaroni pie and salad. I typically get a aloo pie or doubles with tambourine sauce. They recently fell off with their sides such as macaroni salad. I ordered twice just to see if it were a mistake but they charged me the original full price with a sample size you literally can swallow. Make sure you order early because they often run out of things. On the bright side, when they do run out of items they will communicate with you and work with you to make substitutions.
We always go here when in Brooklyn. The food is great, from the shrimp doubles to curry chicken to potato salad. Jen's never disappoints. It's always very well seasoned and proportioned just right. Oh and that cake slice...yes you need to order it. Thank you Jen♥️
Visited this location last Friday and ordered the Curry chicken roti and it was very good! I woke up the next day and ate the remainder for breakfast.:) I lived in this area of Bklyn nearly 40 years ago and you didn’t have the variety & scale of restaurants that you do today. The businesses are operating and completing at a much higher standard and the customer service was top notch. I definitely felt valued as a customer and I will be back when I visit again in the near future. The only thing I’ll say is I wish the chicken was a little more seasoned. I love my curry chicken with the bone-in and since it was “dark meat” you would’ve thought it would have been slightly more flavorful — but the channa, potatoes and roti skin was delectable.:)
What sweet ladies working there. Great sense of humor, kind, and patient if you’re not familiar with the cuisine. The shrimp double was the best, the shrimp was quality and perfectly cooked and spiced and love totally went into making my boneless chicken roti. And reasonably priced!!! Hands down better than the more well known place down the street. Def will be back
If you’re craving authentic Caribbean flavors, Jen’s Roti on Flatbush Ave is a must-try. Their doubles are packed with flavor and perfectly seasoned, and the goat roti is tender, hearty, and absolutely delicious. The food here is consistently phenomenal and definitely stands out in the neighborhood. That said, it’s worth noting that prices are on the higher side for casual Trinidadian fare, and service can sometimes be a bit slow, so be prepared to wait. Still, once the food hits the table, it’s well worth it—the flavors more than make up for it. Overall, Jen’s is a spot I’ll keep coming back to when I want some of the best roti and doubles in Brooklyn.
Ok here is the breakdown: Pros: tasty roti ($10.00 Feb 2023 price). Cons: Rude & unfriendly arrogant staff. They were all out of potatoes for roti and suggested to fill it with chicken and sauce. Refused to give more than 2 tiny thin napkins. No restroom for customers. No ordering for pickup. No ordering in advance. Staff loudly arguing between themselves around customers. Customers cut in front of me in line. Would I suggest this place? I don’t think so. Not unless the owner trains the staff in good customer service.
This is a hidden gem. The food here is awesome! The prices are amazing in this economy and they pack your plate. I come here often and there’s always a line of happy faces inside waiting for their turn to order. The staff is very friendly and accommodating! It’s always a pleasurable experience. Stop in a grab some food. This place is worth a drive! Food: 5 | Service: 4 | Atmosphere: 3 Seating type: there is a seating area here Vegetarian options:they have a good selection of vegetarian (ital) food Dietary restrictions: the staff is very accommodating Parking space: there is no dedicated parking here Parking options:street parking Wheelchair accessibility: this establishments is wheelchair accessible
It's a nice size space and has some seats to sit and eat. The service is good just be patient and understand that they are there to help you and make sure you get your food correctly. The ladies are friendly I tried the doubles and I was not disappointed it was flavorful and tasted fresh the sauces were good. I will try other items next time I go back A+
The doubles were just ok. I had higher expectations. The girls serving the food were nice but there was a guy at the register being a jerk and telling them about how he could fire them, it was very uncomfortable to witness all of that, for no apparent reason. I was also over charged for a side of macaroni salad. If the guy wasn't so busy harassing the other workers maybe he would have been paying more attention to not over charge for items. 🙄
Jen's canceled my entire Seamless order because a menu item was not available. No phone call was made to discuss the menu issue that I feel could have been resolved. This is horrible service with no regard for the customer's needs.
Wasted $31 on some nasty bland food. Would have been nice to get a napkin to wipe my hands! I’m very disappointed. First and last time ordering. Also the meat and the roti skin should be separated when it is a delivery… was very soggy by the time I received my order.
Sooo glad I ordered with Uber so I got my money back! Ordered 3 rotis and one shrimp...they sent 4 chicken rotis never called did issue a refund difference...I don't eat chicken 😡 no tamarind or pumpkin!!! Huge chunks of dry white meat was disgusting happened 10mins ..BUY AT YOUR OWN RISKS!!!!!
I’m a born Trinidadian. I visited Jen Roti Shop on 11/15/2025 ordered a chicken roti Buss up. The curry was good. But the Buss up was horrible. How can you guys serve that to your customers. It was heavy not light and soft. Like who ever cooked the Buss up used to much lard and not enough flour. Something went wrong with it. It was horrible. Your name has Roti in it. You guys serve that to your customers. Fire your Roti maker and hire a new one. Just horrible.
Im a regular morning customer and I must say the food calls for desperate attention by the health department,for 3 days straight I had to walk out because I regularly buys sausages and bake and the sausages looks like they're been taken out the refrigerator from an old can ,it was horrible, it was black,it was dried it was disgusting 🫣 please guys
I want to start by saying I’ve been eating from this restaurant for a while, and left a five star review some years ago, which I sadly had to delete after ordering last night. I ordered two doubles, a potato roti and a potato & channa roti. The doubles were fine, but the potato & channa had very weird taste to it, as if the ingredients were old. The potato roti tastes fine at first, but after the first few bites it has that old taste, and there is channa in it. No potato roti was provided. Of course uber eats says my order “doesn’t qualify for a refund.” Needless to say I not be wasting my money eating here again.
I stopped by for the first time (FINALLY) today (Sunday, Father’s Day) at 3:45pm… and they were closed. I spotted a worker inside and he gave the “not open” gesture. What a waste of time/commuting all the way from New Jersey just for it to be closed without ANY notice on their Google storefront/UberEats — SOMETHING to let us know that they would either close early or not be open at all. So freaking frustrating. UGH.
