I share this restaurant suggestion with anyone who asks for ideas. The dishes taste better with quality ingredients. You pay what's fair and get the right amount of food. I haven't received such good attention recently. Share this place with those who appreciate excellence

The food was soooo good! Atmosphere is typical West Indian shop, very basic but it was clean. The people were nice but the food was worth the trip from manhattan! Definitely recommend!

Would be a five...the roti itself was good..maybe a lil more seasoning in the curry chicken. Now I haven't been here in yearsssssss and you mean to tell me there still hasnt been a second step built outside? As I stand and watch the elderly struggle to step up and down. Add a step!!!! And then there were no menus or prices listed What's going on?

Finally decided to give Ali a try, I've been craving Roti for a while. I can say I'm slightly disappointed more by the amount of meat they put in it than by the food itself. I had 1 Dhal Puri Chicken, 1 Goat Roti, and 2 Skins, I can say everything was DELICIOUS ! Get the Shrimp Roti too with their spicy sauce, Unfortunately they give you a lot of big pieces of potatoes and not enough meat to cover the whole roti, and this makes some part of the Roti filling feels dry. Their Roti is pretty massive . They have inside sitting and you can pay with your debit or credit card. I will go back and pay more attention to the way they put the filings in.

I had a music video shoot call time of 6:00. Got there, but decided to wait until 7:45 since it is a night shoot. I asked for a good place to get some food. I was directed to Ali's First thing I do is look at the cleanliness of a business. As soon as I walk into a place, I check out how clean it is and I always look at where the food is at. The food was well presented and it wasn't sloppy and food all over the place. Everything look neat and clean. I also make a quick rundown of the workers. I look at their outfits. Are They wearing gloves and so on. The food was well presented and the staff answered questions. She even when it's far to ask if that what I chose looked good. It did. . The person in front of me ordered rice and chicken with macaroni pie on the side. When he got to the counter, the man didn't realize the macaroni pie was part of his order. He told him don't worry about it just put it in the bag. I thought that was super cool. I paid for my order and asked if he had any non-carbonated drinks because everything in the cooler look like soda. He gave me a drink for free from behind the counter. There's a fountain there. Again super cool. Especially as a first time patron, this is a wonderful memory I ordered pasta with curry chicken on top. It was good. Not very spicy and not very salty. A lot of times these places drown their food with salt. It tasted good and I left none. I got roti skin with it, because how can you eat this without roti skin of course. The roti skin was warm and soft all the way through. Every bite was a delight. I almost definitely hit this place up again when I'm in a neighborhood. It is now on my list!

I had the absolute BEST meal from Ali’s Roti Shop! This plate came with oxtail, shrimp, rice and peas, green salad, macaroni pie, and a side of callaloo, and every single bite was a piece of Caribbean heaven. The flavors were rich, authentic, and perfectly seasoned. You can really taste the love and tradition in the food. If you’re craving authentic Caribbean food, this is the spot. Consistently amazing and made with love. Highly recommend!

This was my first time going to Ali's. I got two goat roti and two chicken roti. The ladies was nice to speak with. The prices was my only problem. I think it's a little expensive. But I do understand that everything is expensive nowadays. If I'm ever in Brooklyn again, I would go back. Ohhh get the sauce on the side you may like it.
