Reviews for LJ's Roti Shop in Welland, ON
Ive never written a review but 2 bites in and I just had to. I came here for the first time, the staff was amazing and answered... all my questions about the different cultures in food between the sides of india. I even got to try a small piece of the curryto get an idea of the flavour. There?s so much flavour and the meat is so tender. Everything is made fresh. I will definitely begoing back! Read more
I got myself the chicken curry with rice tonight and it's absolutely amazing! First time here and I'll definitely be coming... back. The chicken isn't dry at all, the potatoes are amazing and the taste is just phenomenal! Thanks for the great dinner :) Read more
I was excited to find a Caribbean restaurant/Roti Shop in Welland. Upon looking at the menu I had a lamb roti and chicken roti... ?spicy?. Didn?t get the traditional Guyanese/Trini curry taste I was expecting but still tasted overall great. As for my spicychicken roti, the spicy level or ?heat? was a 0/10, ?homemade pepper sauce? would have been a great compliment. Looking forwardto trying the Doubles. Read more
While they got my order wrong (she gave me rice instead of roti) it was quickly remedied and we were on our way. Our first time... at LJ's, so while I didn't know their menu nor had time to ask for suggestions etc, I went with three options I'd normally orderat a roti shop. Curry Chicken Roti (as mentioned the lady thought I said rice I guess, but that was corrected after). I wish Ihad time to eat the roti while it was off the tawa (hot) we had a long drive ahead of us, so I didn't get to it hours later.That said - the wrapper kept it warm (well done). I did heat it up later in the microwave, and to be honest, it didn't go overlysoggy or clump together as some I've had in the past (well done). The roti itself wasn't overly greasy (well done) and the curryitself had a good (not great flavor). I really think they have an excellent product here, but their peppersauce (hot sauce)needs works. The areas where it was in the roti, had a tart or sour taste and no real heat. I'd also add a bit more curry potatoto the mix. A good roti overall, with a ton of boneless (dark meat - well done) chicken and the size was commendable. The JerkChicken With Rice. Another good option, except we wished it had a bit of heat to it. Wonderful overall flavor, but IMHO jerkneeds a little heat. That said, this is Welland and maybe they are catering to the heat level locals can handle. I cannot faultthem for that. 2 Side orders of plain Paratha roti. Again, not overly greasy (well done), packaged the same as the other roti Ihad (kept warm and didn't go dry), however I found them a bit small (circumference) as compared to other roti shops we visit inOntario (basically the same prices else where). Good food, reheats well, good value for money and great customer service (theguy at the counter - apologies as I didn't get your name). You guys are representing the Caribbean/Guyana well. Free parking atthe front is always good. The sign at the front is easy to miss! Read more
Having recently moved to Welland, it was a thrill to find this place just today! We thought we'd give it a try and see what our... taste buds say! Well well well, we just picked up our curried chicken/dhalpurie and jerk chicken/rice dish....and boy we werehappy with the first mouthful! As u can see I couldn't wait to dig into that roti! Great job and kudos to the chefs at L'Js rotishop! Read more
Made the trip here for lunch during a recent trip to Niagara Falls. My girlfriend and I were trying to get away from the... tourist traps, searching the surrounding areas for something more authentic We chose LJ's based on the strength of Googlereviews, and happy that we did so! We like to ask questions when we're making selections, and the manager was happy to walk usthrough recommended pairings, including combos that weren't on the menu. I had the jerk chicken with a base of rice, and ascoop of "pumpkin". (We learned that this is a nickname for butternut squash). My girlfriend had the chicken curry roti, witha scoop of pumpkin wrapped inside the roti. The manager brought our order right to the car, and we ate it right there. Wereceived HEALTHY portions for the price, and every bite was fantastic! I had to pop back into the shop to give them their propsand offer thanks for the recommendations...it was that good. Thanks for a great lunch! Read more
Delicious, absolutely delicious. Fresh, well seasoned and what any roti fan would be looking for. Did I mention they have... doubles too? I'd recommend spicy if you can handle a little spice as it adds more to the flavor profile of the roti. Definitelycoming back. Take a look at the pics and what's under the hood of the double ???? You won't be disappointed!!! Read more
This restaurant has been my go to again. Everything is so tasty and full of flavour. My top go to is the lamb curry and... casareep chicken. It seems like it truly does not matter what you get, as everything is absolutely delicious. A little tasteof heaven? I purchased the jerk chicken today and it?s so delicious. Don?t expect carribean style jerk. This is different butstill delicious. Read more
