A little about this place
About Danforth Roti Shop
Danforth Roti Shop is a long-running Trinidadian takeout counter at 2844 Danforth Avenue, near Dawes Road in Toronto's east end. The menu covers doubles with channa and pepper sauce, dhalpuri and buss-up-shut (paratha) roti wrapped around curry chicken, goat, duck, shrimp or potato and channa, plus jerk chicken, rice and peas, aloo pie and saheena. Vegetarian and vegan fillings such as pumpkin, channa and curry mango are available. The shop was renovated recently and has only a small standing area, so almost everything goes out as takeout or delivery. It has accepted cash or debit only.
