Ali's Roti Shop

MY HEART BELONGS TO ALIS. Still 20 years later, their Roti HITS. The tamarind sauce is TO DIE FOR! The goat and beef roti IS LIFE. They are the best ROTI SPOT IN THE WORLD 🌎, yes the WORLD, HANDS DOWN! And this is coming from a FOODIE WHO EXPLORES different RESTAURANTS DAILY. You have my heart Alis💕

Is a take but the roti is the best I have had in the whole of New York outside the home The pholourie is also absolutely world class not to mention the amazing tamarind sauce. I feel like I am going to be coming here weekly at least

The shrimp curry I had was very good, especially with Josiah’s suggestions. He also recommended two drinks that I enjoyed later. Definitely worth a visit!

almost didn’t try this the service after reading a particularly harsh review, but I’m so glad I trusted my instincts instead. That negative review claimed that the lady in pink with blond hair “the customer service was terrible” but my experience was the complete opposite. From the start, everything was handled professionally. The service from that very said lady exceeded expectations in quality. It’s important to remember that one negative experience doesn’t define a whole company suspect that review was based on a one-off issue, because what I received was thoughtful, well-made, and clearly created with care. Don’t let a single negative comment sway your opinion—this service which I received is absolutely worth trying for yourself That “lady” customer service is what every business place need….

No place to sit — just a take out place but so delicious! I got the veggie roti and it was a lot of food and filling but not heavy. Want to come back to try the doubles!

This is short & sweet. The food is always super tasty and not to mention the workers level of humanity & professionalism 100%. In particular, there's a worker I couldn't help but ask her, her name. Upon every visit this lady's smile & mannerism never changed. "Wendy" omg!!! Super pleasant❤️ She's definitely well trained & can elevate that business. Because of that, I always purchase more than I can ever eat🤣🤣 Well done gentle lady God bless your golden heart.

This is actually a 4.5 Star review. Decided to stop by for dinner and am happy to say that the curry chicken was the closest to home that I've tasted in years...(I'm from T'dad). Every place has its strengths and weaknesses, but with curry like that I can't complain. 👍👍

2nd time there and was satisfied though I didn't get all I wanted. Good roti and doubles. Great service and reasonable prices.

Not as I expected. I've heard that they are the best so I decided to check out their doubles and chicken roti because those are the most popular items and I had hoped of shortening my trip for doubles. The roti was sized nicely and the amount of filling was sufficient however it's more on the bland side. It's a filling that everyone can have and then add their spices but there will be no complaints from the Hypertension community. The spice level of the sauce was a 4 out of 10. The doubles used the same filling and the channa was very grainy. I like mines a little on the mushier side. Again I added the shadow benni and tamarind sauce. It was meeh. The bara (the bread used for doubles) was more on the firm side. I prefer mines soft and melt in your mouth. The place itself was clean, nicely decorated and staffed by some very, efficient and courteous people. I like the updated ATM machine... There's two chairs outside to rest when the line is out the door. Alas I will have to continue to take the bus to DeHotPot Three stars . 1 for the decor, 1 for the customer service and 1 for the size of the items.

The roti was horrible!! It was leathery, no peas, funny taste to it. Unfortunately, both my husband and I had to dump most of it. Sad, because we travelled all the way from another state to get roti in Brooklyn. What a disappointment.

The lady with the pink top and blonde hair on Saturday 05/17 was unnecessarily rude and impatient. The attitude was entirely not needed. Other than great food. Just fix the attitude

There’s a tall man there most time he’s so unprofessional. He should stay in the back of the store . He doesn’t know how to speaks to people. Your store will lose business because of him . The African Caribbean lady and other staff are so much more professional and welcoming. . This is a business place value the customers.

I never saw doubles bara, that looked like flying saucers. Save yourself a trip and just go to long lines and horrible customer service at that other horrible Trincity place. When will Trini truly represent our excellent food and culture. You have all these Guyanase spots stepping up and representing. BTW, I'm only giving this review 2 stars because an AppleJ saved the day.

Thier service depends on how they feel at the time. Sometimes nice sometimes nasty. Which is unfortunately expected from a business owned by people of color. I'm used to bad customer service. Still supported over the years, but this may be my last straw. Made a big order for an baby shower with Josiah 2 months in advanced. Asked for an invoice the week before, 2 days before and the day of. Never got it and he stopped replying the day of the event. If you want to grab a small bite to eat, if they actually do have what u want, then maybe yeah. Otherwise, between them running out of food itens constantly, and having to use their overpriced ATM because they are "cash only" on a whim, I wouldn't recommend. This coming from someone who dealt with them for years only because I prefer the taste of the food. Hate having to critique my own people but we need it If we want to do better. Hopefully they learn some accountability. Now I am left without the food for my event.

Older woman, must be owner has a nasty attitude, no patience with customers... Even the shorter indian lady just stared at her when a man asked for a fork after whatever happened with his order, just nasty attitude. Informed them of my ulcer and can't have pepper atm, they know who I am, ordered a roti buss up on uber and there was a Large pepper in the roti with pepper sauce all over. Same with the buss up. After that, I just chose to stay away and let the God of Israel Jesus deal with them. That's the review. Great food destroyed by nasty spirits

*"Hear nah, I step in by dis so-call Trini roti shop thinkin’ I goh get a lil’ taste ah home. But lawd, what a disaster! De doubles skin stretch long-long, like if yuh bookin’ a flight from JFK to Piarco an’ back again. An’ thin like paper, oui! By de time I reach de lil speck ah channa, I done get vex and hungry one time. An’ doh talk ’bout de filling — barely anything inside. No cucumber, no chutney proper. De lil drop dey put, is like I had to beg by de counter, “Aye miss, please, ah beggin’, leh meh taste some chutney nah.” No shadow beni either, so wha flavor yuh really servin’? Answer: none. Pure blank vibes in a roti skin. As a Caribbean person, lemme tell yuh plain: dat is an abomination. How yuh could do dis to yuh own people? Is like allyuh forget de whole point ah doubles. I was highly disappointed, oui. De only ting save meh palate was de Solo I wash it down with. At least de Trini soda hold mih hand through de heartbreak. If I did have de power, I would shut down dat kitchen one time, because wah allyuh servin’ is not doubles, is doubles in witness protection.”*

This business is terrible. The cashier with the glasses was really rude. On top of that this restaurant is cash only. Third world service with a third world mentality. I’ll never shop here again. Plus the music was playing so load that you can’t hear anything the staff that works there is saying.
