We go there every week for warm, fresh rotis that are ready to eat. Grocery store ready-to-eat rotis are invariably stuck together. Freezer aisle ready-to-cook rotis are too calorie-rich. It was wonderful when we discovered Rotikaa and have been going there ever since.
One issue we had in the beginning was condensation whenever we stored it in the fridge. The packages have warm, slightly steamy rotis that are perfect for immediate consumption, but the downside of putting those in sealed plastic bags is that when you store them in the fridge, any steam turns into water and creates soggy, discolored patches on the rotis. We solved this problem by opening the package, inserting a paper towel at the top and bottom of the stack of rotis, sealing the package again, and then storing it in the fridge. Change the paper towels at least once a week (we usually consume them before that anyway). We've never had condensation forming on our rotis ever since.
Another tip is that whenever you need to only use some of the rotis, extract them from the package with the package still in the fridge and then seal it again. Don't take the entire package out of the fridge each time. Every time you take dry foods out of the fridge, tiny drops of condensation from the air in your kitchen forms on them. So it's a good idea to only take out the exact amounts that you'll be using right away. This applies to all dry foods and produce, not just Rotikaa rotis. Rotis are just more vulnerable because you need to store them in sealed bags so they don't get too dry.
I think Rotikaa should incorporate moisture absorbents in their packages, or improve the packaging in some other way that solves the condensation issue. I'm also not thrilled with the idea of warm rotis that are stored in direct contact with polyethylene bags.
Regardless of any of the above though, we love this place and highly recommend it.
Ok ok. Good Roti.
Best rotis. I get rotis in the evening time on a weekend and they are always fresh and stays fresh until the date listed on the package.
Love their daily fresh rotis. Best place to buy if you live close by and plan to consume the package in a day or two. If you buy in bulk and store in your fridge then obviously it is only as good as the ones in a standard grocery store!!! Again, do not compare with other store "fridge" products. Have small amd big size as well as many types and numbers per package. Def recommend.
