Leela’s Roti & Doubles

Absolutely amazing! Had the veggie platter and I literally couldn’t stop eating. I can’t move now! Great food! A must have!

I really enjoy the food. It is a quick wait and the food is delicious. The only thing bad is they rose the Wednesday special to 4 dollars

Not bad chicken Roti but it was dry, no sauce, dry chicken. Not really worth the $ 10 they’re asking for it. Maybe $ 6 – 7.

OMG This place is amazing! The bone in chicken Roti was seasoned perfectly, the right amount of pepper and is a HUGE serving for $ 9.00!!! I also bought a pepper sauce for $ 4.00 it’s great! I will be going back soon!

We’ve visited this spot a few times, and overall, each experience has been pretty average (if that). Located just west of Mavis Road and Rathburn Road, in the same plaza as Long & McQuade, we’ve visited whenever the cravings for ‘doubles’ hits us (for those unfamiliar, doubles are a Caribbean street food similar to a sandwich, stuffed with chick peas and spices). To be honest, I’ve had infinitely better doubles out in Scarborough and while the the doubles at Charlie’s (another Caribbean joint in Mississauga at Hurontario and Dundas) were also pretty basic to me, I liked the Charlie’s version vs. Leela’s version.
On a recent visit, we purchased three (3) doubles and a potato pie (aloo pie). The doubles were so soaked in oil that it was so flimsy and difficult to pick up. It lacked the slight crispiness the flatbread should have, and was to the point of soggy. The aloo pie was okay but lacked the flavour I’m used to.
Overall, pretty mediocre. There are many other spots in the GTA (and Mississauga) that do these items better.

I am shocked this place gets such a good reviews — perhaps because there is not many options in this area.
Doubles and pholouries are way too greasy. They try to nickel and dime you for every little thing. The roti’s skin is decent but the filling is bland or overwhelmed with a favourless hot sauce. My sister got sick after having the jerk chicken special — which I tasted and is one of the worst takes on jerk chicken.
And on top of the mediocre food, the service is horrible especially from one of the females who works there. She’s rude, unprofessional and has no manners. Perhaps she needs to do everyone a favour and stay in the kitchen behind closed doors where she can clean and flavour the food better so customers do not have to deal with her presence.

Came here with my coworkers because it was highly recommended by my manager. It was my first time getting roti but I enjoyed every single bite (I got the «bone goat parathra)!

The flavour is different. Base is mostly hing and ghee. Now that can truely be Caribbean flavour but wasn’t for me. I have tried few other Caribbean places and liked the flavour better.

This is by far the best Roti in town! I don’t eat them very often any more, but when I do, I make sure it’s from here.

From Queens, NY — home of all the Caribbean eats, had Lunch at Leelas (was a reccomendation) tried their Curry Goat, dhal and Rice, one word — perfect! meat seasoned well and cooked tender, dhal was literally home made and the Peppa sauce, best I’ve had in Toronto, not the watered down crap they give at other places… Can’t wait to try them again!

I also swing by for the Tues and Wed. specials. Nice flavors, generous portions, and super friendly staff. I love the rotis, but the doubles I find a bit greasy. Also, beware the lineup, or prepare to practice your dance moves while waiting because the tunes are so catchy.
Also, the Veggie platter is YUM, full of flavor and variety

Come here for those Tuesday and Wednesday specials! I usually get the boneless chicken roti. it’s dark meat. Roti is good, a mix of chicken and potatoes. They consider it a snack size, food does take a while though. People are friendly.
Doubles aren’t bad either, but small for the price.
Minus one star for not taking credit and its a minimum of $ 5 for debit.
Edit: They raised their prices to 3.99 on Tues and Weds for specials

In my experience, there are 2 great places for Roti. According to Trini’s and Guyanese, this is one of the best in the Toronto area. It is always busy, and they do such a great job with all their food.
The service is great, always a smile, Trini style. (i think they are Trini)
Anyway, their Doubles… WOW!
Their Roti’s are always perfect. If you can handle the spice, go for it. I always do… no regrets.
We also have the curry chicken/​goat/​beef with the rice, it is also excellent.
It is not a fancy, sit down restaurant (paper plates), and I am happy about that.

For a stress free Tuesday, you don’t need to cook dinner. They have Tuesday’s special at $ 3.33. While you wait, there’s reggae music playing in the background.
Happy: For the price, I’m full with a chicken roti with spicy sauce on the side. It’s really spicy and awesome!
Not happy: Sometimes the wait can be 15 – 25 minutes depending when you on a Tuesday. There was not enough chick peas and pieces of potatoes on top of the rice. See photo. Too much rice and not enough goodies.
Verdict: I’ll only go back on Tuesday’s special as it’s more worth it. Prepare to wait as I wonder how long it takes them to prepare behind closed doors.

Best Trinidadian/​Caribbean restaurant in Mississauga by far! It’s always busy but nevertheless the service is good (they were happy to help with any confusion I had about the menu offerings) and the food is excellent. My usual is the boneless goat with rice and dhal, which is amazing. I also, tried the veggie platter, whereby there are numerous choices of veggie options to choose from, all of which were delicious.
The prices are very affordable and the quantity given is large. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

After reading other people’s raving reviews, I decided to try it myself. I’m not a roti fan and have had only a couple of them prior to my visit to Leela’s. When I got there, there was only 1 other person waiting for his order, and I was wondering why it took so long to get my mini roti. For a grand total of $ 3.50 (including tax), I wasn’t expecting much. I drove home and unwrapped the piping hot goodness. I ordered chicken (bone-​in) roti, medium spice — I ate half and had to drink 2 glasses of water! The flavours were definitely all there and the portion was huge! I can’t imagine what the full size order will be like. I’m excited to go back and try the other items on their menu.

Great place, atmosphere, food and staff… it’s more of a take out place but they do have a few seating area that is self serve… prices are reasonable and generous portions, we ordered the goat, jerk chicken, boneless chicken roti and they gave us a complimentary doubles, I really liked the doubles, jerk chicken tastes different from other Jamaican places but it guess it’s because this is a trinny place
Will come back for sure

Really liked this place. $ 5 for the lunch special jerk chicken roti Tue-​Fri. Great value. There’s quite of bit of chicken in the roti and its spicy & delicious. Its quite substantial too.
There were some other specials (not as good as the $ 5 one, but still good), as well as a regular menu. A lot of the potential things to order.
My Unilocal app was showing a check in deal for a free Double. Apparently this offer has ended, but the owner honored it.
Ample parking. Accepts debit (not credit). Friendly staff. Will be back next time I’m in the area

I went to check out this place after I saw it said halal on Unilocal.
I went around dinner time to do a takeout and the place was decently busy. The owner at the till was very friendly and helpful in taking the order and informing us about their product and spice levels.
Once you check in on Unilocal there is offer of doubles for free with your order. Although the offer was done but the owner gave it us. The restaurant itself was clean and the seating arrangement was nice.
I ordered the chicken roti, Jerk chicken dinner and the free double. The roti was nice and filled up properly and the jerk chicken was ok as I have had better spiced up jerk chicken but the portion was very good it came with rice and coleslaw. The doubles was roti filled with chickpeas. People beware for the spice level mild is medium and medium is hot and I found it the hard way.
On the halal note — They have a sign on their door, plus I inquired the owner and he stated that he buys halal meat.

I’ve been going to this place for 3 years now and I will never get sick of this place!
I always order the stewed chicken with rice and sometimes with roti and I know for a fact my craving will be more than satisfied! My boyfriend loves their jerk chicken with hot sauce on the side. I love drinking the pineapple soda pop, it’s a must with my meals.
If your trying this place for the first time I would highly recommend the aloo pie and chicken doubles! So flavourful!
This place is a family owned business, which I always support :)
