JP Roti Shop - Boneless chicken and shrimp roti. - Indian Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Best roti! I'm so happy I finally checked this place out and got some food. Be prepared to wait. I went on a Saturday afternoon and waited a little over 30 mins for my food to be ready. It's a kitchen and store. First you walk in the store and give your order. They will write your order down on two paper bags. Then you walk over to the kitchen side and give the bags to one of the people there. There were so many people waiting inside and outside the place. Finally they will call your name and you pay at the register in the kitchen. I didn't see anyone eating inside but there are chairs and bar seating. The service was great and everyone was super nice. The food is worth the wait. I got the beef, chicken and shrimp roti and one double. It was so fresh and tasty. I haven't stopped thinking about the food since. If you get a chance definitely stop by and put an order it. You won't regret it. Parking is tricky but if you're lucky you can get a spot in the lot or on the street. read more

Food is good but they dont pay attention to what you order..ordered 2 shrimp and BONELESS chicken roti and there was nothing but bones through out them.. read more

Best Rotis & Tinny Food always Fresh and Srvcd to Order.. Skins are fresh made and Food is Hot and flavorful..!!

The food commands its place in your restaurant diversity inclusion binder. I would drive a hour for this, but the wait time once you order really should be better. I really feel that a new design would allow the flow of customers to be more fluid. Other than that, the service is good; and the staff members are very friendly. read more

Updated review: finally went back to this place. Service was a million times better than it used to be . Food is still great and staff was even friendlier than they was previously. I think I'll be becoming a regular again! read more

Okay! not only is this one of my favorite restaurants in Massachusetts, it's one of my favorite ever! The roti is delicious! And that's not even my favorite item . My favorite thing on the menu is their doubles. and I've gotten a number of my friends hooked on them too! Not one negative review from anybody that I've turned on to this place. They all love the food. it's so good that if you don't get there early enough on certain days, there might not be anything left. It's so good that people come there for something specific, but May just buy whatever they've got available if the place doesn't have what they specifically wanted. You enter through the front door and go to the cash register on the left and put in your order and pay. Then you take the slip with your order on it and go to the counter and wait for your food. The guy at the register is really friendly. But this strictly a takeout place. You don't dine in. They also sell some spices and various grocery types items as well. So no real ambience to speak of because of that. The best way I could describe it is kind of like a family restaurant/grocery store. But a really awesome family! And if that wasn't enough, I'm gonna share a little story with you. I ordered through a delivery service about a month ago and the service drivers never delivered my food first driver couldn't find the place for some reason and then they got another driver and then that driver wasn't even close to the restaurant and wasn't gonna make it there before they closed. So I called them trying to get some resolution. And the guy who's usually at the register just told me don't worry about it. I'm gonna bring it to your place on my way home. That's some extra mile service right there. I love this place! read more

Love,love, love their rotis and other specialties! been getting food from the family for over 12 years! and then they got their brink and mortar spot. My only wish is that they had delivery through Uber eats or Doordash, but that would probably overwhelm them as the in house orders are alot. @jproti, please consider delivery especially for those that are outside of city! read more

order on line for take out. don't go hungry. 5 ppl who placed their orders after us (two white middle aged women) were served way before us. first the shrimp was empty. orders get shuffled by biggest smile (regulars) read more

The food is good but the service is becoming worse and worse why even have a phone if you can't order in advance like take that option out don't answer the and tell the people you can't take over the phone orders so they have the option of going there or not . read more

I wasn't sure what I was getting myself into but I was open to trying a new cuisine. JP Roti shop is a Trinidad family own shop that sells different selection of protein to be put in your Roti. I was told to get there double Shrimp filled with curried or stewed meats or vegetables like chicken, beef, goat or potatoes. You have to try there hot sauce in which does have a kick so I wouldn't ask for double for that. The amount of favor and seasoning you taste from the first bite is incredible. I would highly recommend stopping in and trying a Roti if you never had Trinidad food before it will change your mind. read more

The food/roti is fresh, tasty and mouth watering. I had the curry shrimp and it's was mouthwatering, a definite must try. The service was friendly and fast. The atmosphere is friendly, the is clean and a bright ambiance. This roti shop is a definite must try. Grade A++ read more

The food is delicious! I ordered Roti and curried mango. Take out only. There can be a line so order ahead.

They have very good roti. Despite the long line for orders, the service is reasonable. The long line is an indication of how popular and how good their roti is. read more

OMG! The best roti! I ordered from them when they were in someone a house. And kept ordering when they moved. Fresh and tasty! LOVE the pumpkin and Channa. Boneless chicken is YUMM! Quick , popular takeout spot - staff is friendly even when it's busy. read more

Five stars for the food. Less one star for the wait time. The food is SO good and you get a lot for a little! Authentic, flavorful, local. Yes and yes again!! If they had a more efficient process that might help with the wait time, but honestly I am so here for this food. I came for the first time yesterday and stopped by again today. It's that good! What to expect: when you enter you'll order at the counter in the "store" section. They will write your order and name on a paper bag, you then bring said paper bag to the "restaurant" section and wait. Bring your patience because you will wait during this time (15+ minute easily). They'll call your name to retrieve your bag, you pay then GRUB!! read more

I remember eating roti from Mrs Marguerite and her family business. She started from her own kitchen and back shed and had obstacles but and her husband and their family was able to finally obtain a spot for their business in Dorchester, Massachusetts. The food is always delicious. The Roti, Bus up shot, and everything made in that establishment is delicious. love you Mrs Marguerite, and thank you for all the years of service with your delicious cuisine. I love that you're in my neighborhood right around the corner. I can walk or drive but you're not far and that is a plus please continue to produce great service, and of course delicious foods of your culture descent of Trinidad and Tobago!!! read more

very slow service you ask for extra of something they dont follow directions call ahead

Been here the last 2 Saturdays. I recommend ordering ahead but the roti is delicious. I get 2 shrimp and beef rotis for under 40 bucks. I'll be back read more

I have been trying to explore all the restaurant within walking distance of my place, and finally was nearby while they were open- had to give it a try! We got a beef roti and it was delicious, filling and CHEAP! - I think it was $9 and it fed two of us. Not the best picture, but there was a ton of super tender beef, some lovely potatoes and other veggies and delicious curry, a bit of spice, too! Wrapped in this soft yummy flat bread. So so so good. read more

Shrimp/chicken with everything roti including pumpkin, oh soooo good. I shared one with my husband and couldn't get enough so an hour later I went back to get my own but they was sold out. Agh! and because they don't open every day, I had to wait 3 whole days and guess what? When I got my own I was happy as a . The best roti(s) read more

ordered a couple Veggie Roti with all the veggies. They made my Roti with only chick peas and potato without asking if that was ok. To me that is bad business not communicating with the customer. If I could give zero stars believe me I would. read more

This is my favorite roti spot but the last few times they keep messing up my order. It's so much work for me to get to the resturant. I always order a chicken and shrimp roti. They keep leaving out my shrimp. Not to mention the shrimp is extra. They don't pick up the phone so your can't leave a complaint. I think there needs to be a better system or unfortunately I'll go somewhere else read more

Really like the roti here. If you are looking for some authentic Trinidadian roti this is the place to visit. I like the boneless chicken roti ($8.50). Very affordable and has a lot of flavor. They have other Trinidadian goodies that you can try. Everything seem reasonably priced. It gets pretty busy but service is fast. They have some seats inside but most people take their food to go.They are not open every day of the week (Thursday, Friday, Saturday), you'll have to plan your visit around that. read more

Looooong azz waitbut food always on point!! Otherwise worth it... much better than all Ali's!!

The food is amazing but it's such an ordeal to order food sometimes it's not worth it. You call ahead, to be told your food would be ready in 20 mins, to arrive and still be kept waiting. It's honestly ridiculous. The place is always busy, they def need more help to keep up with the volume of ordered they get. But no one has time to wait upwards of an hr for a roti, no matter how magnificent it tastes read more

This has to be one of the top roti shops in boston hands down, i love them. They would get 5 stars only if they made you roti in a timely fashion. The wait once you get there for your roti is insane and if you call it in they just move you to the head of the line once you get there instead of actually making it when you call. Great place, authentic food, amazing flavor, well worth it! Just takes a bit read more

This spot has excellent food for a dime. I get the plate with the roti on the side vs wrapping it up like a burrito primarily so it doesn't get soggy and I can eat it over a couple of meals. The wait time takes awhile, so order ahead of time by at least an hour. read more

4/20/18 - I visited my friend a couple of weeks ago and she introduced me to JP Roti. It was so good. So much so, that I braved Boston traffic to drive to Dorchester this past Friday. I got the Shrimp Roti w/chick peas, Pumpkin Squash and mixed vegetables. I love it. Hardy, little spicy, a little sweet. My Mom preferred it without the pumpkin. Instead of a Roti, you can buy a plate. She will do that in the future. I didn't give 5 stars because of the location. It's on a busy Main Street and during afternoon and evenings, there isn't a place to park that's near to the restaurant . Because it's a great eat, it's packed. The line to order is ridiculous. One last thing, the Roti's bread should be smaller. The wrapping of bread is way too much. They did get my order wrong this past visit, but it's not going to stop me from going again. When I'm IN Boston though. read more

The best Roti in all the town. I used to go when I was a kid , it was in JP still the same flavor. So delicious, the people are so friendly. I'd give 10 stars if I could. read more

This Roti spot is a hidden gem! The service is quick and efficient, and the food is absolutely delicious. The staff is always friendly, even in the summer time when it's wayyyy to hot to be cooking. Loyal customers will call in advance to put in their order. However, if you don't get a chance to call ahead it's DEF worth the wait in line people, their Roti is the best in Boston! read more

The best roti in Boston hands down! And very reasonable prices !! So authentic and freshly made to order. I got the shrimp and potato roti and it was tasteful; the best roti I ever had! read more

The shrimp roti is phenomenal!!!! I wait hours for the goodness! when a place is busy, you know the food is good.

I absolutely love this place and their staff. I usually get the Shrimp Roti everything including hots on the side.

I like this place but I have a few reservations. To start, the food is really good, I prefer their fillings and sides compared to Ali's but their actual Roti dough is not as good. My favorite is curried goat roti (when you can get it), with potato, channa and slight pepper. The opening days and hours are very wonky, and the ordering experience and the physical space can be improved upon. This is not the best place to enjoy your meal, I recommend to go orders only. read more

The BEST roti in Boston hands down! I've tried other places and felt violated by what was put in front of me. Here, the service is great. The people are friendly, it is family run, and black owned! What could be better?! Oh yeah, the flavor....hold on while I clean up my drool. Gah! The flavor is amazing, the beef is sooooo tender, and the potatoes always have the perfect bite to them and the fresh veg always crunchy. Its a party in your mouth and sweet, spicy, and savory were all invited! The roti is huge and its always hard to finish...but I do! There are only two negatives...the long wait and the boneless chicken. To avoid the wait call ahead and make your order...but be sure to pick it up or stragglers like me will come in at the final hr and buy all unclaimed goodies!!!! As far as the boneless chicken...its pretty dry due to the amazing cooking process that takes all morning. But thats OK, tgey have bone-in chocken.versions as well. My suggestion to them is to use boneless chocken thighs. Omg! That would be epic! Anyway, get here. Support a Black/Caribbean owned business! Maybe buy two because if not...you'll be back the following day. O read more

Its getting a 4 because it's not open 6 or 7 days a week and the hours are weird. They run out of food fast so come before 5pm. The wait is kinda long, but I dont mind because the Roti is amazing. And! They sell peanut punch here which I love! read more

The SLOWEST place in town. Don't bother calling ahead of time!!! All these yrs. service is still slow!!!!

Without a doubt, the best roti in Boston. I am always homesick and craving a roti, and recently heard about this place so I knew I had to try it. Although the wait was long, soca was blasting from a speaker so I had a good time waiting lol. And the wait was definitely worth it. Extremely authentic and tasty. I am ready to go back already! read more
