This place is centrally located in Cairns and a great place to eat. Good variety of fillings and you get a GOOD sized portion. Excellent price for what you are getting. Been before will definitely be back at again. 5/5 stars.
Definitely heading back to this spot when I visit cairns again! Good amount of filling and sauce. Quite a busy popular place but would 100% happy to wait for a good feed
I visited six months ago and am still thinking about this delicious roti! I had the dal / vegan option and it was so flavourful. It is more of a takeaway place but there is some seating as well. To my knowledge it is very difficult to find Caribbean food in Australia, so I suggest doing yourself a favour and checking this place out. If I lived in Cairns I would come here every week!
This place smelled so good I had to go in and try and I was not disappointed! I’ve eaten here twice now, first time I had the chicken one, this time I had the beef one and both were superb. Bursting with flavour and ingredients since you choose three fillings for each roti. Pleasant staff and very reasonable prices, they even donate their cans to a local school and try to reduce their waste. Best spot for some lunch in Cairns, I’d say.
Fast food joint with really tasty food. Very good value. Scotch bonnet zing. Friendly peeps , generous.
The beef curry roti wrap was absolutely delicious!! The beef was SO tender and the sauce was so flavourful and rich. The smell was enough to convince us to eat here, and the food did not disappoint. The roti wrap was filled to the point of exploding (in the best way!!) and the roti itself was the perfect texture. Definitely worth the money, and the service was very quick and pleasant!!
Really really awesome food. Has veggie options. Price seems right, there pretty filling roti wraps. If you're in Cairns and can't decide what to eat, this place will have everyone covered. Stop by and enjoy. Always yummy 😋 if u like chilli 🌶 get yours extra hot 🔥 😆
Stopped here for lunch after walking 5km up and down the promenade. I had the vegan roti wrap and it was so delicious! Such a good price, friendly staff and prompt service. Would recommend!
It was absolutely delicious! The atmosphere was casual and welcoming, making it easy to walk in. The menu was simple with just four main options, which gave me the impression that they’re confident in their flavors — and rightfully so. I thought the system of choosing a main and toppings was really clever and innovative. The food was served piping hot, and every bite was packed with flavorful fillings that spilled out from the Roti — just amazing. I’m sure I’ll be back again for sure!
I found this place last year on an overnight stay in Cairns for a connecting flight. We did the same flight again and this was the first place I came after I checked into our hotel. I have been craving their roti for a whole year and it didn't disappoint again. This is the best thing about Cairns lol. I'd happily fly there again just to eat their roti 🤤
