Good option

There isn’t anything strictly vegan or vegetarian open in Cairns at night. There is only one vegan option but it was very good. Nice staff. You could choose the filling from a mix of vegan options or have all combined (chickpeas, lentils and rice). We had them all combined. It was nicely flavoured.

Fast, casual and tasty

Would recommend roti shack for a quick eat that's going to fill you up and be tasty. The vegan option comes with all the fillings (all vegan) wrapped in a roti (burrito style). Quite cheap and there are seats outside and inside. I did ask for medium spice but couldn't taste anything so if you like spicy maybe ask for hot.

Amazing Roti!

This place does amazing Roti rolls that are effectively burritos. Everything is made fresh, and there are 3 different vegan curry options to pack your roti with!

A must eat spot!

Wow! We both got a vegan roti with all the fillings and mild chilli. Maaaannnnnnnn - SO good!! Beautiful, thin, soft roti. Really yummy fillings. Perfect size for a complete meal. So glad we found this place and absolutely well worth the visit!

Went back again for lunch a few days later - just as awesome/tasty. Great to have that reliability when you find a place with great food that hits the spot. If they went fully vegan they'd absolutely get five stars!!

Pros: The vegan fillings are all really yummy, Really good portion size, Fairly priced

Cons: Can be longish wait times, but still worth it!

Eat here and you will be happy

I ate the vegan roti and it satisfied my need for a solid hot meal. Was truly tasty! Genius invention - curry inside a roti, just like a kebab!
I would definitely eat there again.
They no longer sell individual roti bread.

Delicious Roti

5 different vegan fillings, or you can add them all! Roti bread was delicious, fillings were great. We went there twice and even got extra rotis to have for breakfast the next day. Cheap and easy meal too. They do get very busy sometimes so try to go a bit earlier in the night as they sometimes stop orders before closing once they’ve received too many.

Quick and filling

The vegan roti filling consists mainly of large chunks of potato, some chickpeas, cabbage, a smattering of other veg, in a yummy savoury sauce. The curry flavours are balanced, if a bit simplistic. I should get it with the Chili sauce next time to liven it up.
The staff are very nice and there is a relaxed vibe inside with cool music.

Pros: Good value

Quick and delicious

Really nice food, more like a take away shop with some tables outside.

Service was quick, vegan options clearly labelled. Staff are also happy to explain them to you

Pros: Quick , Cheap , Decent number of vegan options

Cons: Some sides for the rotis could be nice

Cheap, delicious and filling

We both ordered the vegan roti which was so yummy and filling. It has potato and veggies and curry. Only about $20 for both of us so it's a bargain. And it's not every day you can try some West Indian food!

Filling, cheap and easy

Only one vegan option, but more if you’re willing to remove ingredients. It’s pretty starchy and carb heavy, but will leave you feeling satisfied.

Makes for a great easy meal.

Pros: Filling, Cheap, Carbs for days

Cons: Carbs for days

Thanks

Only one of their rotis is vegan, but it's a pretty good and quick option to grab a bite on the go.

The Cure

Come here with a cold and you'll get comforting food (lots of carbs) and a decongestant if you choose hot chilli 😝

Pros: Cheap, vegan option

Cons: Serves meat

A filling and wholesome option

All the vegetarian curries are vegan, I chose one with mixed fillings (potato curry, rice, dahl, and chickpea curry) it was nice enough and filled me up, there was not a huge amount of flavour but I've found that a trend for the region. Service was very polite and fast.
