Looking forward to trying more...

Delicious invention of what could be done with a piece of roti bread. Always a positive attitude. Excellent value for the price.

I generally get the potato and sweet pea, the chicken malai, or the aloo gobi. They smother all the frankies with that green sauce, which makes most of the frankies taste pretty similar. Fortunately, that taste is really really good. The rotis are a nice flavor and texture. Pretty good value, considering.

First off, it was good and I got what I paid for. I want to put that out there before saying that it wasn’t what I expected it would be…which was totally my oversight. I’m used to Caribbean-style Rotis and didn’t make the switch over to Indian in my head. Silly me! So if you’re of the Caribbean mindset like me, keep that in mind before you head over to Frankie. I ordered the Lamb Boti. It was decent. The roti bread itself was really nice. It was thick, firm and flavorful. The lamb was a cross between actual lamb meat and what you get at a Halal truck. Odd…but I got used to it. The meat was tender enough for the price…but a bit firm for my liking. The veggies were al dente, which I usually wouldn’t like in a Roti, but was thankful for because it added more bite/flavor to the roll. That being said, they obviously need to kick up the level of the marinade spices…because there was nothing exotic about the lamb flavoring, as the menu leads you to believe. Fortunately the cilantro sauce they lather the filling with was tremendous! It would make a decent light-lunch or big snack…but when the guy slapped the roti on the grill, I knew one Roti wouldn’t have been enough to fill me. So I order the calamari, which was awesome! Next time I’m in the area, I’ll head back for that alone. They freshly bread a healthy portion of calamari right when you order it. Nothing frozen here! They flash fry it just long enough to keep the calamari super tender yet thoroughly cooked. THESE spices were truly exotic AND made the dish visually appealing due to the Henna-red tone of the spice mixture. I’ve never had calamari flavored like this. I was in heaven! And the cilantro “mayo” (there is so much cilantro it’s more like a runny sauce) was a perfect compliment. The calamari made it worth the 50 minute bus ride I took from work to try the place out. They were nice guys and had me out the door within 5 minutes of placing my order. Good to try for shizzles and giggles if you’re already in the area…and might be worth the bus ride again to try some other Roti variations…or to check out their daily Roti Specials…but DEFINITELY worth the trip for the calamari!

We were excited to order these roti rolls. Had to call a couple times to get someone on the line. Delivery was fast though. The roti roll? I couldn't even eat it personally, despite my love of new and different foods. I have eaten Indian food in India, though not roti rolls, and comparatively found this stuff inedible. Sorry to say. I really wanted to like it!

Uh, I went to write this place a good review and then I found out that they deliver?! Oh glorious day! Anyway, Roti Roll is both delicious and super-fast. I've gone there a couple of times when I was either broke or just really, really hungry and needing food in my mouth ASAP. If you're hungry and poor, but don't want to eat garbage, come to Roti Roll. The prices are excellent and you don't have to worry about not getting enough to eat. If you don't eat meat, there's some good veggie options for you, too, so you won't have to mope in the corner while your friends are stuffing their greedy faces with savory meats. Oh, and get the fries. I have no idea what's on them, but they rock.

Sometimes I go twice in one week. Spicy Indian food meets burrito. Hits the spot every time. Grab a Roti Roll to go and eat it in the park. You won't be disappointed!
