The food was incredibly enjoyable, and the portion of roti was huge. There was a cozy atmosphere and the customer service was great. I will definitely be coming back!

This place is the best! I've been eating at Calabash for years now, even before I was vegan.  I usually get the veggie roti, which comes with potatoes, chickpeas, spinach, cabbage, and veggies.  The portions are always huge and the food is absolutely AMAZING!!

One of the few Caribbean restaurants in the GTA where you can get the Trini vibe as soon as you walk in. The food is absolutely marvellous as well, Cajun chicken with Ting (grapefruit refreshment) is my favourite!

I'm a fool for jerk. Anytime I see a restaurant with an exotic name like Calabash, I'm drawn to try it because I reckon it will be an interesting ethnic food experience. Calabash did not disappoint. It's not perfect, but it would have gone over well where I used to live in south Florida, which was replete with immigrants from the islands.

I love hot stuff, and it's hard to find jerk chicken in Canada, so I had a salad made with the stuff. It was two sliced chicken breasts -- nicely cooked, not too dry -- over a simple salad of iceberg, cuke chunks and shredded carrot. I've had hotter jerk food, but the charring and sauce gave it a pleasant mouth-burn.

It's also hard to find Caribbean roti where I live in B.C. so I bought a goat roti to take with me on my road trip to Washington D.C. I did it partly just because I like to say "goat roti." Rolls off the tongue, doesn't it? I had to spit out of my mouth at least four gobs of inedible fat, though. I know it's goat, but c'mon -- that's too much! The curry seasoning was nice and hot -- Calabash asks you how spicy to make it, and I chose the max. This thing was huge, and it held up well for being unrefrigerated in the back of my car for 18 hours. Curry spice kills germs, right? Too bad it doesn't tenderize goat gristle.

I recently came across this restaurant. I have attended a lot of other restaurants that sell rotis, doubles etc. This restaurant is a hidden gem. The owners are really nice people and food portions are big. Give it a try! The goat roti is my favourite.

Great rotis. I was introduced to rotis here, but after living in Barbados, I must say, these taste quite authentic, and are four times the size. I like how they put in curry potatoes and chick peas along with the meat, other places I've been to leave out the peas, making for a bland roti.

Cozy environment, Friendly staff. I work at Winston/dundas area, and the local Roti Place by Longo's Shut down. So, I was happy to find this place.

I had the chicken Roti, $8, and a can of coke.

The envrionment is very warm, and the staff are friendly.

I am no expert at roti, but I found it Pretty good.
My single complaint is that there was slightly too much flour inside the wrap. The filling (Chicken, Curry and Potato) was delicious - Everything was very moist and tender. I ordered Mild, and it was flavorful and almost sweet, without being too rich. Quite a good balance that I thoroughly enjoyed.

This place is not a high end restaurant - pop is served in the can, However they put a little carrot garnish on the plate that was a nice touch for an 8 dollar meal.

Overall, I'd rate a 7.5 out of 10

Good Food Cheap. The roti's are filling and good. The restaurant is clean and the staff are friendly and polite. We usually get the beef roti and chicken roti to go as we live fairly close by. As we live close by its one of our 'fast food' go to places.

There is something to be said about a little neighbourhood place like this. You won't find burgers, fries and something out of sync in the menu. What they do is Carribean food and they do it right. They don't have 49 different items on the menu they have Roti's, Rice, and a couple different Carribean dishes. Thats it. By doing a few different dishes and doing it right they are able to offer a good quality menu at reasonable prices.

Love their rotis! Good sized portions. I prefer though to buy take out as the restaurant has understandably strong curry smell. Friendly owner and efficient service.

Ordered the curry goat roti and the doubles and the food was great. The owner greeted me with warm and friendly welcome and he told me he enjoys this place to make others happy and keeps positive vibes in the building and it definitely shows through his food. This has and will always be my favorite spot for Trini food.

Amazing food, friendly owners. The Paratha was freshly made, super soft and flavourful. The Chicken curry Totti (Paratha) is big enough for 2 or leftovers. My wife and I are both very please and look forward to going again.

Easily the best Roti in the GTA. I grew up in Mississauga and moved to Toronto. I’ve been searching for a Roti that compares and I simply can’t find one. The portions are huge and Ron is always a pleasure to interact with.

Customer service here is immaculate. Ordered a jerk chicken & oxtail. It was very flavourful & well seasoned. Just the right amount of spice. The oxtail doesn’t fall off the bone, however I don’t mind. Rice was delicious, & the gravy was delicious. Food was hot, and chicken was tender and juicy. Definitely a hidden gem right between Sheridan & clarkson. Will come again
