The food is excellent, that being said;
The woman working the front counter is a terror. Insulted my fiancee one time making an off handed comment about our relationship, and has taken my order down wrong and claimed I was mistaken when several other people heard me place the order and confirmed she was at fault. Refused to do anything to fix it. She will also make you wait for your pickup order even if you can see it sitting there. I used to eat here regularly, but now find it such a hassle dealing with her I barely go anymore.
Great service, the lady that works the register is very friendly! Great rotis! I deeply recommend trying everything in their menu and especially the chicken roti.
A great little gem in Winnipeg! Walking in I felt like I was in someone’s house. The server was super friendly and walked us through the menu. Food was delicious and full of flavour! Ox tail was juicy and tasty, the roti was very yummy! Great place to try if you want to experience spice! Will be back for sure!
The Swizzle Styx had lunch here yesterday and WOW! Everything was awesome, it's a cute little place and very clean and Caribbean music playing made for a great atmosphere. Our server Michelle (Mikey) was outstanding with a great sense of humour and knowledgeable about the menu. We tried all four appetizers and they were all excellent. We had elk, goat and shrimp roti and all were great and the salad that comes with it is really delicious. We even tried the camel and it was great! It was a fabulous dining experience and can't wait to go back.
Oct 2018 - The Swizzle Styx were back here and once again the food was incredibly delicious. I think we may become regulars 😊

We recently discovered this place and have been here twice, only somewhat familiar with Caribbean food. The first time we went the owner/manager (a woman) served us and she was fantastic. She guided us through the entire menu, explained items and made recommendations. It made for a very pleasant first visit. We tried doubles for the first time and man have we been missing out. We have no others to compare it too but they are incredible!!! We had a veggie roti and shrimp roti. Both very delicious Caribbean-style roti and Heavy Hitters portion-sized approved. The accompanying salad is a mix of veggies and seasonal tropical fruit and one of the tastiest salads we've ever had. We left stuffed!
Our second visit lacked in service. It was cold and robotic, we didn't have an opportunity to ask questions and we weren't checked on after we got our food. To be fair it appeared a kitchen worker was filling in serving duties on a pinch. We got our food in a timely fashion this time a chicken roti and mixed veggie roti. They were as yummy as expected. It is a good thing our second visit was not our first as we would have been lost and scratching our heads at the menu. I would say a safe bet for anyone else in this boat is to go for the roti. It's amazing and likely every variety is, there were about 10 different kinds on the menu. We are also interested in trying out more of the menu.
What a treat. Food was delicious and brought me back home to Jamaica. The decor is interesting, could use an upgrade. Service was excellent and our server made a big effort in explaining carefully each dish we ordered and how it's made. I would have given it a 5 star if it wasn't for the rum punch we ordered. I think the juice for it was powdered and therefore way too sweet. Gotta taste d rum! Will be coming back here again.
Had the chicken roti with doubles. At $3.95, the doubles are maybe a bit pricey? I haven't had doubles in Winnipeg in years, so I'm not sure. They were delicious. The chicken roti and salad was excellent. It's a large meal. One of my lunch companions couldn't finish his chicken roti. The salad was superb, in fact, one of my colleagues always raved about the salad she had with a roti from a few years ago, saying it was the best salad she's had. Mine today was so good, fruity and tasty. Overall, it was a positive experience.
Ordered shrimp roti last weekend. The shrimp were fresh and the roti was excellent as usual ! The double and roti are the best in the city.
Honestly, I think this is one of the best/most unique places in the city, and a go-to for me to bring out of towners for the simple fact that they have Bison and Elk rotis. I've never encountered another place that has them, and they are top notch every time. The salad plays right into my taste palate, with the fruit and romaine mix, and the rotis are perfect.
It's a quirky hole in the wall joint, so don't expect fine dining...but that's what makes the best restaurants in Winnipeg, in my opinion. It fits in perfect with the flavour and culture of this city. A creative twist, on a classic.
Been to this restaurant on numerous occasions and never been disappointed yet. The quantity of meat in their rotis are perfect. I always have enough for the next day. Their salad is to die for. It is a surprise every time as the ingredients change with the seasons. They only make one dressing which is yummy. I have also tried their goat and oxtail and was delighted at how yummy it was.
I was told everything is house made including hot sauce.
I recommend Tropikis for one of the best dine in or take out experiences.
First time customer at Tropikis Restaurant and I will definitely being going back! We bought the mild chicken/beef roti and jamaican patties, all of it was absolutely excellent!
The green eyed lady working the front was extremely sweet and very informative about the different foods on the menu. She really made our experience delightful. The vibe there was awesome and the food was super filling an so delicious. Highly recommend this place!
Food was excellent! WOW! The amount of BEEF in my Roti and the amount of CHICKEN in my wife's Roti! We were totally full once we were done eating and it was delicious 😋 We also tried one of their Jamaican Salads which was full of different kinds of fruits, fruits I didn't think would taste GOOD together but they did! AN AWESOME PLACE!
VERY FRIENDLY!
The salad is fantastic - bright with lots of interesting fruits. The food is warm and rich, but the service is often slow. The server will definitely try to talk you into ordering more food/drinks than you intended to.
After being told for years that I should go, I finally dropped in and got the hot chicken/rice/salad combo. It was so good! The best I’ve had in the city. I’ll definitely be going back.
Take out service was great, the process in store was warm and friendly. We chatted about a bunch of stuff. Excellent first impression, and like I said, the food was incredible.
Absolutely loved Tropikis restaurant. The food was very fresh and flavourful. I would highly recommend this great little place!
