Bakery item Across Thailand Budget · under US$8 vegetarian

What Roti is

Sweet or savoury flatbread, cooked on a hot plate with egg or banana.

Roti is listed as a bakery item in the Thailand guide, where the index tags it vegetarian. That is the useful shorthand, but it is not the whole story: the same name can cover a breakfast version, a street version and a restaurant version with different garnishes and prices.

Where to find Roti

Roti is listed as nationwide rather than tied to one city, so it is a safe thing to look for wherever you land in Thailand. Bakeries sell out early, so go in the morning and follow the queue rather than the signboard.

The Thailand guide also covers 6 dishes and 2 bakery items; open the country page for the full menu and the other places in the index.

What it costs

Roti sits in the budget band, which we define as usually under US$8. Across the 8 food entries we track for Thailand, 5 are budget, 3 are mid-range and 0 are premium.

Sweet or savoury flatbread, cooked on a hot plate with egg or banana. It is listed in the TasteBridge Thailand guide as a bakery item.

How much does Roti cost in Thailand?

Expect the budget band: usually under US$8. Prices move with the city and the venue, so treat this as a planning figure rather than a fixed menu price.

Is Roti vegetarian?

Roti is tagged vegetarian in our data. That describes the dish, not every kitchen: ask about stock, fish sauce, lard or shared cooking surfaces if you need to be strict.

Where can I try Roti?

Our index lists it across Thailand, so it is not tied to one address. Ask locally which version is served at breakfast, lunch or late evening, because the same name can cover different presentations.
