Drupatis Vaughan

I had the pleasure of ordering takeout from Drupatis Vaughan, and it was an amazing experience! The restaurant's environment is filled with vibrant cultural elements that instantly reminded me of my home in Trinidad. The menu is extensive, offering a delightful variety of options that cater to every taste. Not to mention, the customer service was top-notch! The staff was friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Drupatis Vaughan for anyone craving authentic flavors in a welcoming atmosphere!

I usually come here once in awhile. Today I visited to eat indoors, it was very cold inside the restaurant. I mention it to the girl working there. She said sorry the heater is broken. We ordered our food. It was so uncomfortable to eat with our coats on and we kept telling each other it's so cold. The food got cold quick. We didn't enjoy our visit at all, we rushed because so cold, I asked if we can get a discount for our experience. They said the manager said no it's not her fault. I said we'll then who is responsible.? Anyway to the owner of this restaurant. I am a manager as well,if you have a situation like this the customer should be notified if they want to eat in.. and have the option to stay or not. Second you could have run a portable heater or something in the mean time. Another thing.. Your workers need to be more alert when serving the food. We had to ask for plates, for water for the spoons to serve the food. I shouldn't have to do that at all. I mise well go behind the counter and help myself if that's the case. Food especially rice or noodles should have serving spoon and fork. Customers should get a plate to eat. Do you think we all gonna share off the plate food came in. This kind of thing is the same thing when I visit. I think you need to go over some things with the workers. This cold was a first time and should have been thought out better. I also dont like that you made it like it's the customer responsible for your heat not working. I send alot of people to come eat at your restaurant. But I don't know if I myself will even come back being told that you cant do anything for me. Then I would like to know who can. A big turn off.

Here is always good for a Friday pick up dinner, if you are lazy to stay in a restaurant, my husband and I decided to grab some Caribbean food, and here it's the right place, good selection big amount and the roti is always on point, soft like if they just made it. We have a jerk chicken roti, a lamb curry Roti and a chicken like kind of sweet favor that was good. You can see in the portions how big are the dishes. We normally share everything and still we have leftovers for next day.

I got good customer service today which includes friendly and fast service. If you know anything about Caribbean restaurants then you will understand why I had to mention that first cause I was super impressed. This place is clean, nicely decorated, lots of booths if you want to eat comfortably.. You also have countertop sitting if you need somewhere to stretch your legs while eating. Lots of options on the menu, I couldn’t decide what I wanted except I knew I was having different types of roti cause that’s why I travelled far. The cashier exercised lots of patience as I asked numerous questions ( wanting to know what I was eating). I ordered doubles and paratha ( found out the “bus up shut” I was looking for on the menu). Then got a 16 oz of boneless curry goat ( cause no one wanted to struggle with bones today, maybe tomorrow though). My son says the goat almost taste like his grandma’s so that’s why the rating is only a four. But everything else is a five, including all things roti-like. I drove 45 mins in the rain to come to this spot and I have no regrets. Love the Caribbean vibes

Dupratis is famous for their doubles ($2.75). The bara at Dupratis is super soft but also has a chewy elasticity to it, almost melting into the chana but doesn’t disintegrate. There’s just enough of the chickpeas for bite and plenty of sauce that I eventually had to switch to a knife and fork to enjoy the normally handheld eat. While we asked for it to be a medium spicy level, it must have been made at the fullest as there was quite the kick, yet still tolerable once tamarind sauce was added to counteract the heat. After the pillowy double, the crispy saheena ($4.85) was a wonderful contrast with its flakey layers encapsulating a thick spinach mixture. The menu describes this breakfast staple as a fritter, but the layers remind me of phyllo, except even crispier. Imagine a deep-fried phyllo wrapped spinach pie, it’s sinfully good. My friend explains a Trinidadian stew chicken ($14.25) is unlike other stews I may have had previously. It begins with a well caramelized sugar base that gives it a rich colour as well as a slightly sweet undertone. The sugariness isn’t overly pronounced rather adding an interesting flair to the still savoury stew. This dish would be a hit for those who like things like root beer pork. The callaloo was the perfect side, giving it an extra layer of silkiness thanks to the okra used with the veggies, so lovely when mixed with the rice. If anything, I just wish the stew chicken had more spice as despite being ordered medium there wasn’t an ounce of heat. Visiting at lunch does mean many dishes aren’t ready, such as the Trini BBQ chicken or lamb and curry duck. After cycling through various items on the menu, we finally settled on the boneless curry goat ($15.80 for the large), which arrives with a choice of rice or roti (and with the roti a choice of daal or paratha versions). I’m glad my friend went with the flakey paratha as its many crevices were perfect for soaking in the thin curry sauce. The curry was fine but a bit timid for my tastes - if anything, it was the ultra hot layered roti that stole the show.
