Amazing food, but the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced in the food industry. The slim lady making the food clearly should maybe find another career choice because she’s so rude. I genuinely feel bad bc it has to be due to stress from working at a busy restaurant (although, that’s not an excuse).
I drive about an hour to get my roti and call ahead, hoping the timing will be enough time for them. I drive an hour and wait an hour (sometimes even longer). I could only do this so many times before being completely dissatisfied with the customer service.
Ordering process is completely shot, wait times are ridiculous, and cooks are very snappy and rude. A very stressful environment.

Hands down BEST roti shop. Only complaint is the wait time but I have learned to go when they first open on a Thursday or Friday to avoid that problem.
The don't open the store on time. I have a time limit on my lunch break I can't be waiting a extra 15-20 minutes when I'm the first one there when they open...

I love the sweet bread as I am from Barbados. And my husband has fallen in love with Rotis

Food is great and the staff are polite. The portions seem small, and there is a long wait.
There has to be a more efficient way to operate. Waiting 2 hours for a takeout order for already prepped and prepared food is beyond ludicrous. I placed an order in store (delivered in white bags) and saw others placed behind me (white bags) that after some shuffling behind the counter were delivered before mine. Brown bags are phone orders placed ahead of time that still received an hour wait for the already prepared food. The competitor (Ali's Roti) takes a tenth of the time with way more contents inside the roti for slightly less qyality in taste. Ali's has the same same set up but wins hands down in effociency as customers are never there longer than 20 minutes even with a line outisde the first door. My bag was shuffled down at JPs when their neighbor nicely informed me that her relationship of being their neighbor allowed her food to get placed a head of mine. Realy unprofessional! This kind of annoyed me more is she felt the need to share her entitlement and priviledge as a white women in this black establishment to a black woman. Needless to say she may have wanted to keep that entitlement and priviledge to herself as her ability to jump the line and voast about it, especially during Black History Month, made me say I may have to cancel JP roti shop until they can do better or show better. My money matters as I make an attempt to support more black owned businesses but the business has to be willing to show its community that feeling of appreciation for their support. Unfortunately, JP roti lacks in their appreciation to the community and efficiency in service. So for me, they are canceled for now and I absolutely say to save your valuable time (unless you have at least two hours to stand and wait around) and go visit one of the two Ali's Roti location instead.

I am done with this place. Every time I visit Boston, I’d look forward to snagging a shrimp roti with pumpkin, but this is the final straw: The system is a total wreck, If you call ahead and you take a while to pick it up, they will sell your food, and if they run out of something they will just give you what they want you to have. I don’t care how good the roti is, I’m big on integrity and I will never pardon bad business. Godspeed.

My favorite thing about Codman Square! The roti is delicious, all the cooks are so friendly, the music is great, Wu is everybody's favorite guy, service is fast, and the spice cake is in my top ten desserts ever. On top of all that, the veggie roti and doubles are vegan!

Taste of home and good vibes just naturally good people
this is not an Indian restaurant. So no marks for atmosphere. But the food is incredible!
