Ottawa Foodies

My bf and I picked up some roti's from Island Flava last night. It was his suggestion, which is extremely surprising considering his version of exotic cuisine is mexican. Anyways, as a warning, this place is a hole in the wall. That being said, the beef roti's that my bf ate and the jerk chicken roti that I had were delicious! They were made very quickly, and the service was good - the owner was joking around with my bf. Just a note of warning, when the menu says that the jerk-chicken is "bone-in" - it means what it says! I was surprised for a minute, but it was so tasty I just picked the bones out and ate the rest quickly!

Picked up a chickpea roti here today. I was really happy to get a blast of warm air and a waft of island spices when I walked in from the cold.

Roti was stuffed with chickpeas and potato. A little on the dry side- I like it a bit saucier but good regardless.

Service was friendly.

I got a chicken roti to go from the Dalhousie location on Saturday after leaving Coco's for the second time without any food.

It was really tasty, just hot enough and the roti bread was actually sturdy enough for me to pick up and eat like a sandwich (hey, there was nobody else home to see) and it was pretty big. I tried to get some plantains to go with it but the guy was all out. Service was very friendly.
