Roti had a lot of potato and not very much chicken. Flavor was solid. Man behind the counter was rude to the person in front of me when he accidentally entered his PIN wrong. For a better roti and service, check out Jerk Spot on Baldwin. I would only come back here out of pure geographical convenience.
I like this place. The inside is a little dreary for me considering the walls are lime green and there are paintings of toucans and tropical beaches; I always enjoy take-out more.
Orders take 8-10 minutes to come out and the roti is satisfying. A solid choice if you're in the mood and friendly people inside.
DEFF one of the best roti's in the city. The jerk chicken roti is amazing and Jerk done right! Not too spicy but SUPER flavourful which is good because to much spice hurts my tummy :S Yes it does take a while for your food to be ready but that's why I call ahead. Very pleasant staff, and great food gets Pam's a 5
This place is my "go-to" when cooking for yourself seems like too much work. Definitely the best roti I've had in the city - yeah, they are not all that cheap, but OMG - they are GOOD! And BIG! My recommendation is to call ahead first and order - it does take a good 20 minutes to get your order, but most definitely worth the wait. My fave is the curry chicken roti. Nice and friendly service -... more
Best Roti Ive had in the city thus far. Its SPICEY!!! definitely will clear out your sinuses and your sweat glands. I'll always go back. Had the pakora, and the Jerk Chicken Roti, was super yummy
Just ate lunch here. Beautiful fall-off-the-bone jerk chicken, rice and peas, and coleslaw for $4.99. Best deal in town, and delicious to boot! Make sure to try it with the hot sauce.
Fresh, filling, and tasty! My husband and I each ordered a roti: the goat and the jerk chicken (boneless). Both were piping hot and incredibly delish! The service is a bit slow, but the food is definitely well worth the wait. Rotis were about $9.50 each and come with a small side salad - yum!
The place was empty when I got there around 1pm on a weekday, hmm.
At $15 for a takeout roti (word of warning it does not come in a take tray/box) very small order of coleslaw and a pineapple pop it did not ring the top bell on the value scale. The medium spice was much closer to mild so have no fear of being burned-out it was perhaps a 3.5. The coleslaw, that I ordered to temper what I...

Best roti I've tried in the city. The wrap itself is spongy, flavourful and very fresh tasting. Every roti I've had so far has impressed me. They aren't overly spicy, so it's a great option if you want to introduce someone who doesn't really like spicy food to Caribbean food. For example, my girlfriend doesn't like things that are overly spicy, and the owner (who was very friendly) assured her... more
Roti is amazing. I had the Jerk Chicken one. Restaurant is slow, but worth the wait. The owner should fire the skinny waitress, I haven't seen her smiling once and she didn't even say "Thank you". She's extremely rude and clearly not happy of doing her job. Give the job to someone else who will love it, not hate it.
I ordered the curry chicken roti. It was moist, piping hot, and fresh. The downfall is no lunch special sign and super slow service. It was very good nonetheless.
The Roti at Pam's is delicious, very moist and fluffy pastry for the wrap with a decent portion of meat, potatoes and veggies that are well stewed, tender and tasty. The only downfall of this place is the slow service, it can take a while even if there is no one else in the restaurant, and if there is a crowd then be prepared to wait for a good 30mins.
This Roti was amazing. Had the Jerk Chicken style. Came with a nice little salad and the portion was huge! The cook and I had also had a conversation about cults in South America, very random.
Anyway, the Roti was nice and moist, good texture with just the right amount of heat. It was not a quick meal but worth the wait.
Best roti in the city. The roti is always super fresh and never dry which I've found with lots of other roti places. Add veggies to your chicken roti - I like spinach.
Do not go this this place if you're in a rush. I waited quite a while for my food but that didn't bother me too much as i'm willing to wait (within reason of course) for good food. I got the curry goat with rice and beans and it also came with a small salad. I have to admit that it didn't look very appetizing when it arrived but the goat was nicely tender and spiced well (the hot sauce did... more
This place is slow. Be prepared to wait or call ahead for take-out.
But it is worth the wait for the deliciousness that is Pam's roti.
I always get the veggie roti with a potato/channa mixed base, spinach and squash and I always get mild as I personally find it spicy enough. It's always delicious and super filling.
I got take out from Pam's yesterday for dinner and was looking forward to it as I've wanted to try Pam's for quite some time now!
I got the jerk chicken roti - I liked it, but have had better. Was so big I had to share half of it with my boyfriend and we were both stuffed. Nice level of spiciness, and I like spicy. I also really enjoyed the habanero sauce on the side. The only problem was...

I've been eating at Pam's since 2005, and have eaten at most of the Roti restaurants in the downtown area, but Pam's is my favourite. I've never had a bad meal here and Pam herself is lovely, and I find it shocking that other people on Yelp have said she was rude to them, as I always feel welcome when eating there.
The food here is always fresh, hot and delicious, which is why you usually have...

My boyfriend and I were in the area at around 3 pm on a Saturday... we parked outside by happenstance and noticed the place was packed - unusual we felt for this time in the day. We decided to go in and check it out. So happy we did! We ordered Rice and Peas and the Jerk Chicken Roti. It was amazing, some of the best Roti we've ever tried. Pam, the owner is Guyanese, and she is super cute and... more
My friend and I were at Cardinal Skate shop the other night. On our way there, we both had a craving for roti and happened to mention it to the store owner. She was like "oh, you're going to Pam's?" It's very close to the shop and the one that had caught our eye on our way there.
So once we were done at Cardinal (very cool shop, and the store owner husband/wife team are super helpful!) we...

Pam's is back and that fact alone says something. It is rare for a restaurant to survive MULTIPLE location swaps within a few blocks of each other. The reason the place persists is the food. This is some of the finest Caribbean cooking in the city.
The roti is the thing to get here and Pam's do not disappoint. The curry chicken and butter chicken varieties are both superb. All the chicken here...

delicious, couldnt leave the place for a week. have to say as well that im irish and as white as they come and she was lovely, perhaps she was a judge of character and not skin colour.
Have to second the bad review below about this place. Biggest turn off was Pam herself. Acted as though we had committed some type of terrible crime by walking into her establishment, being friendly, and ordering 2 roti's to go - shame on us for doing such an awful thing!!!!
Her complete distain for our patronage carried over into the food - the two tinyest and least filled roti's this city...

Pam's Back!
We've been eating Pam's Roti for years, and we were disappointed when her last move didn't work out. But now she's back, and right across the street from us at 912 Bloor St. This could be dangerous.
What I love is that they let you combine ingredients in any way you want, you don't have to just go by the menu. Nothing is pre-made here, which is likely why it takes SO LONG! Try to...
