WOw, whether there's with my boss. First double in my life and it double delighted me. Cheap. Worth double the price. And spicy and nice. Plus a chicken curry roti was so,huge I couldn't finish it. That's alright because leftover dinner was just as good as Lunch. Can't wait to back and bring home five doubles. They're that good.

I love this place and keep on coming back, the vegetarian roti are really tasty, decent portions and flavour!
The service is always friendly, the prices aren't bad either. I really wish they would ditch the styrofoam plates already and keep the restaurant and their trays a bit cleaner, don't like the often sticky floor or table surfaces..
Takeout is best :) -

I, for some reason was craving a roti a couple weekends ago. This almost never happens, but I was hungry and passing the area, so I gave Ducky's a go.
I walked in and I was the only one there, so service was pretty quick.I read and heard that service is slow but I had no problems. I ordered the boneless chicken curry roti. It was ready in less than 5 minutes. I did agree to trini spice, I don't know why, when I usually get my doubles with slight spice. I wasn't thinking straight, I was too hungry. As soon as I got in my car, I dug right into it. Omg, that trini spice nearly killed me. I wanted to eat super fast cuz I was super hungry but it was so spicy! I needed to drink after every bite. If you like spice, then this is your jam. Like i mentioned before, I only like SLIGHT spice. That was my bad. The hot temperature of the roti made the spice even more unbearable. Oh and this roti was humongous, so it lasted me a lunch AND dinner. When I came back to the roti at dinner time it was MUCH more bearable. I was able to eat the rest no problem.
I'd have to say it was just okay. Maybe the trini spice messed me up a bit, but it was nothing to rave about. Good curry flavour, good chicken. Nothing to complain about. If you're in the area, it's worth a try. -

Alas, my "jerk chicken" was inedible. To me, it shouldn't have even been called jerk chicken.
Mine was skinless, boneless chunks of breast meat that had been stewed in Walkerswood jerk marinade. In was pallid and brown and had never seen an open flame whatsoever.
It was served on acceptable rice n' peas but with a salad that consisted of 4 pieces of lettuce, 2 slices of cucumber and 2 slices of tomato without any dressing whatsoever.
I should have questioned what I received, but only once I returned home to write this, did I see that others have posted pictures of their jerk with whole, boned and skinned pieces.
I really did want to try the jerk here. Not sure if I did. And I don't think I'll be back to try again. -

My next door neighbour wouldn't stop raving about Ducky's Roti. He's not a Yelper but with this level of endorsement, I knew I had to give it a whirl. I've had some stellar Roti in Brampton before so my West-Indian standard were pretty high walking into this run down joint in a shady plaza near Humber College in Long Branch.
While I'm waiting to order, I find out the Ducky's has been serving roti in the neighbourhood for not 1, not 5 not 10 but 35 years. And it's ONLY a kindly older gentleman and his wife working from early morning to late at night. At 35 years you've got to have the secret to a bomb-ass roti down pat and it's gotta be good.
I ordered a jerk chicken roti, spicy for myself and a veggie special roti for my part-time vegetarian fiancee. They're made from scratch so don't expect to get your order in 30 seconds, try 20+ minutes at least, more if they're busy - but don't worry it's worth the wait.
The roti came boxed, bagged and ready to go. I asked for some extra hot sauce and the man handed my a tiny container which I kinda sneered at. He advised me not worry that this would be plenty hot for me.
Got home and tor this roti apart top to bottom, I made it my prison lover (i was inside of it, it was inside of me)... it got deliciously weird - don't judge. But then the hot sauce, dayum that shit was absolute FYAAAAA. But flavourful too! Between the silky roti, the velvety curry sauce, the tender (and abundant) jerk chicken AND the hot sauce I was super satisfied.
Hands down a top roti spot that you need to check out. Remember this place ain't pretty and you'll need to wait, but the wait is worth it.
