Famous Recipe - Hamilton

They make the best roti in Hamilton. I love this place. The owners are great too!!

Their doubles are awesome! I haven't tried anything else, but they are always really nice and encourage pre-ordering for the doubles.

Very easy to find , great customer service . The patty is very fresh although they don’t have chicken patty the beef was good . The spicy was really spicy just what was needed.

Original review date: march 1, 2018; edit add-on november 10, 2021 picture add-on: july 9, 2021. november 10, 2021 march 1, 2018: i've been going to famous recipe (FR) since 2009-10. i really appreciate the passion owners kevin and his wife christine have for providing a quality product. they have been treating me good. when you're in the mood for west indian food, best thing is to give then a call first. as a heads-up, when you are getting later into their hours of business, they may be running low on items. that's because the food preparation (esp curry, roti and doubles) is time and labour intensive. this is not mcdonald's. FR has a personal commitment in that they will only serve same-day, not leftover food as their pledge of quality to the customer, and that is something that should be respected. one star knocked off for their sometimes inconsistent and unposted hours. if you're unsure, phone in to confirm the store is open, that's what i always do. november 10, 2021: updated review add-on -FR continues to show why imo they are the heavyweight champions (along with caribbean-canadian restaurant on the mountain) of the city of hamilton, when it comes to price relative to value, quality and portion size, and menu options for the caribbean food segment. -my favorite (and recommended) items are the chicken/beef curry rotis, jerk chicken with rice, doubles, and the patties are fantastic also. the way FR makes their food, it feels like they are cooking directly in your kitchen. you can also pick curry chicken or beef with rice and not go wrong either. -nicholas (son of kevin/christine) is doing a fantastic job helping in the store. he is warm, welcoming and on point with the customers. -drawback of the FR is very limited parking as the store is located on a very busy street. bottom line: i will continue to support FR and would recommend it to others. they are honest, hard working passionate people. great food, portions, quality. keep up the great work!

It's the closest I can get to Trinidad roti and doubles. I love their food to me it's the best in caribbean cuisines
