    The pholourie was cold like dog nose. The meat pie was in a warm case, but not warm, definitely not at code temperature. The June plum was disgusting. The sorrel tastes nothing like Trinidadian sorrel. It was so thick and diabetic coma sweet, too much spices in it. On the good side, the $6.50 sorrel drink can make a whole jug of juice.

    I found this place just before covid started and loved it . I travel 20 miles just for there taste in roti but the last couple of times i have been there.. the quality of food and quantity of food has been below poor. I was served today with the smallest portion of food ever for a roti on top of that when I got home I was missing channa and potatoes. I was also charged for pepper sauce which every roti shop gives for free. I will def not be coming back here things have progressively gotten worse on every visit. I love to support black owned business but every thing needs to change there the place is not being ran well anymore..

    Tried Ali's Roti for the first time today. Called in an order for pickup and was greeted warmly on the phone with the order taken right away. I arrived 20 min later to find a spotless and clean restaurant with the owner kindly greeting me upon entry. He already knew my name, and was finishing the last doubles of my order. Aloo pies and the doubles were absolutely tremendous: fluffy and flavorful with minimal excess grease / oil. Definite home cooked vibes along with plentiful portions. Their pepper sauce is definitely done in house as well- downright delicious.... 100% will be back...more than I should admit Lol

    Lord the doubles are to die for. If you get spicy make sure you like spicy because it is definitely that and will clear out your sinuses. Recommend trying it at least once.

    I wanted to like this spot after reading all the reviews.... But it wasn't adding up.. food had no taste. No flavors! Was disappointed. This location is also very small. Also waited a while to get the food. This is a west Indian restaurant I would assume they would have someone at the front desk who actually knows about west Indian food. That wasn't the case here. I hope the improve.

    Food is good but employees need to remember nobody wants food the server is touching with the same gloves he’s touching the register and money with . It’s unsanitary and discouraging. Gloves should be removed and changed if one is touching other devices , and products .

    Excellent carribean cuisine !! We were greeted graciously by Kim and so glad we came!!..They have awesome vegan options....Kim was great at helping us out and hooked us up with an amazing meal. The staff is great, everyone has great energy and works great together. They are usually closed on Mondays but so blessed they're open for us today!!! We love this place!!!

    Had the saltfish Roti (excellent) and the most delicious, syrupy sorrel I’ve ever had. Only regret is, I didn’t get soursop ice cream. Highly recommended.

    Always stop by Ali's on my way back home to Central Florida. Never disappoints.

  • 5/5 S P. 4 months ago on Google • 5 reviews
    First time visiting Ali’s and have to say it was awesome. The service was an A+ and their doubles were so delicious. I ordered some to take to my family in Ocala and they all loved it. Normally whenever I visit them I would get doubles elsewhere, and this time after seeing Ali’s on Instagram I decided to pay them a visit, not disappointed. The friendliness of the staff and not having to wait for an order I had placed on the phone will definitely keep me coming back to Ali’s. Thank you Ali’s for the great food and great service! Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous 2024!

  • 5/5 IcarusVic 1 year ago on Google
    Great food, it was ready to pick up when he said it would be. Big portions and I got my fix taken care of. I miss de Trini food!

  • 5/5 World Traveler / Self Proclaimed Foodie (. 2 years ago on Google
    I mostly order here through Ubereats but i do go in from time to time. Good tasting Trinidadian food. I love the curry goat and their curry chicken dishes. Their breakfast meals are on point.The doubles are tasty, great size and the sauces are delicious. My favorite it the cucumber. Big shout out to the staff last order they forgot to send my doubles. I didn't request a refund from Ubereats but told them on my next order and they sent us 3 free doubles. We didn't expect that but it just shows the great customer service from the staff.

    One of the few places left where you can enter and you actually see that the personal welcomes you with a huge smile and positivity. Instantly makes you even more hungry for their delightful food!! :) Small and clean. Just what the community needs 🦾🦾 Thank you guys !

  • 1/5 Shameela M. 2 years ago on Google
    Food was terrible first of all. Everything is sweet like they cook with sugar. And they are very cheap with their sauce. You can order 5 things and they’ll give you one sauce or charge you for more! Joys gives you each item with one or two sauces without having to ask! And trust me this food needs the sauce AND the pepper :(

  • 5/5 nik 2 years ago on Google
    Food is delicious. It's a small unassuming place that is very warm and welcoming. The staff was super nice and chill. I had a doubles and potato roti and the channa was on point, well seasoned and just delicious. The roti and barrah was also fresh, tasted excellent. Go there hungry cuz the portions for the roti are huge. Highly recommend them.

  • 5/5 Tori M. 2 years ago on Google
    Honestly this is the only place that Satisfy my double craving. They're absolutely delicious. I read the reviews and it doesn't seem like the same people that used to be here before but they actually taste better. The doubles are bigger in size and it's so satisfying. I've tried other places and it's just nothing that compares to this place. People stated that there's a woman in the front that's rude, but not everyone has a perky voice when you talk to them but she was very pleasant, respectful, and she got my food ready when I called and that's all I look for. So thank you queens the one in the back that was cooking with her adorable self (a little old lady) and the 1 at the front desk- I appreciate you and thank you for getting my food ready when I called ahead of time. I'll definitely be back.

    We were so happy to find this delicious roti shop while visiting family! The curry goats was spot on! Best thing about it is that’s it’s halal!!

  • 2/5 HonestReviewer 8 months ago on Google
    Cow heel soup had to much peeper that it took away from the flavor of the soup. Doubles lacked flavor.. And they forgot 1 of my doubles.

  • 5/5 mom3ttt Fit m. 8 months ago on Google
    The service and food is the best at this restaurant. If you are not familiar with the food they take the time to explain the dishes they serve. Fast and efficient service.

  • 5/5 Massia B. 1 year ago on Google
    Fresh and delicious! 😋 The doubles are authentic, similar to what I've had on the streets of Guyana. The service was impecable. Richard and his team were engaging, polite, and eager to meet our expectations. I will definitely be back!

  • 3/5 Isha L. 1 year ago on Google
    I liked the texture of the roti but I wish the curry had more flavor. The doubles were okay. Nothing spectacular

  • 5/5 NigelM 11 months ago on Google
    My family and I went to Ali’s twice this week and everything we ate was hot, fresh and tasty. We had doubles, aloo pies, bake and shark and both beef and chicken pies. Good quality products & friendly staff.

  • 5/5 Alysha B. 1 year ago on Google
    Richard is always so welcoming. I’ve ordered multiple things from here and was impressed by it all. From the doubles to their duck curry. The place is also clean and service is almost always quick, even as a popular food spot. Definitely one of my favorites.

  • 5/5 deokieroopnarine 1 year ago on Google

    It is great food. You can sometimes have to wait a while but it's because it's worth it. It tastes so good lol avd they are back there mashing everything to order.

  • 5/5 Trish D. 1 year ago on Google
    Went here for the first time today after I've been hearing how good the food is and IT IS!!! I got curry chicken and rice, BBQ chicken, and 2 chicken patties! Very Tasty!

  • 1/5 Dimples 1 year ago on Google
    I ordered a chicken roti thinking it was going to be better than Joys and I was so disappointed the chicken taste like it had cinnamon on it. So I thought it was just me and gave my daughter a piece and she said the same thing. I was not impressed at all so I guess I’ll be sticking with Joys! NEVER AGAIN!! CINNAMON DOESN’T GO ON CHICKEN!!

  • 5/5 Daren M. 1 year ago on Google
    I’ve ordered boneless curried chicken roti, several times. It’s always excellent! The curried goat is also outstanding!
