I'm writing this review after my second visit to Ravi Soup. I went for a quick dinner on a Wednesday evening. My previous visit was a couple of years ago during lunch on a weekday. I remember the place being busy, but the service was prompt (although the food took a while), and the food was delicious. Fast forward to tonight. Dinner time around Ravi must be a dead zone because it's night and day versus lunch time. We walked in and there was nobody except two girls just finishing up their dinners and leaving. Otherwise, it was completely empty. After poking around a while, someone finally comes up from the basement to take our order. Weird. The place being empty gave us a chance to at least get a better look at the place. It's not a sparking gem, but it's functional with a larger seating area at the back. There's a counter at the front with stools. In warmer weather, they open up the window in this area so that counter sitters can enjoy a nice breeze with their meal. However, the counter itself wasn't exactly clean (not filthy, just not clean) and the stools were uncomfortable. I ordered the pork shoulder wrap, and my companion had the organic chicken wrap. We didn't co-ordinate and both ended up getting the mushroom soup. I don't remember what I had a couple of years ago, but the lasting impression was that the food was delicious. That hasn't changed. My wrap was moist, delicious with a lot of flavours going on. Definitely not a Mega Wraps style wrap. The chicken wrap was also proclaimed to be fresh and tasty. However, we both agreed that although the mushroom soup was very flavourful and deep, it was much too salty. I wish we had gotten different soups so I could see if this is a problem for only the mushroom soup, or all soups. I was a bit torn between 3 or 4 stars, but after mulling it over, I think 3 stars is more appropriate. Yes, the food is delicious, but overseasoning is a sin of cooking. And as at it's heart, Ravi is a soup and sandwich place, I don't necessarily care that their decor is virtually non-existent, but cleanliness and comfortable seating should be a basic even here. It's too bad. I really did want to rate this place higher. read more

The soups were very flavourful and filled with all sorts of ingredients. The wraps were good but not as much as the soups which I would rate 5 stars. The combo with a wrap is a pretty good deal though. Overall very good place read more

My go-to place if I want a nice bowl of soup. I don't believe in soups but this place brings soups to a different level. Great quality, affordable price ! I don't see it as an ordinary fast food place. I live nearby so it is my regular lunch place. read more

Ravi Soups - Sandwiches Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

GIANT BLACK HAIR I ordered the chicken wrap around noon on Wednesday last week, I requested it be served in a bowl rather than in the wrap as I intended to save it for my evening meal. I was taking a ViaRail out of Toronto and wanted something healthy for the trip. That evening, I began to eat it was not 2 bites in before I found a thick hideous long black hair embedded in the chicken. Needless to say I couldn't continue to eat it and will NEVER be back. I have tried to email, tweet and Facebook this business and no one has replied to me. So perhaps this is a common occurrence and does not warrant a reply or refund. read more

After reading many good reviews on this Soup and Sandwich place, I have decided to come by during lunch to give it a try. I had the Soup & Sandwich combo (Corn Chowder soup & Pork Shoulder sandwich). Both are delicious. The ginger inside the soup really gives it another flavour. I love the pork shoulder sandwich as well - they give a generous amount of meat inside their sandwich. Everyone who works there are super efficient, from ordering to sitting down to receiving our food, I completed the entire dining experience in less than 20 minutes! More than enough time for my 1 hour lunch break. I will certainly come back for more. Thanks Ravi Soups! read more

Really just excellent. At $11, their Soup & Wrap combo is the best lunch value around. Ravi's storefront is easy to miss, and the front of house where orders are placed is crowded and chaotic, but only because they are a victim of their own awesome. Several soups and wraps on offer every day, with the selection revolving. The corn chowder (with Blue Crab chunks!) and the roasted red pepper bisque are phenoms. The porcini mushroom bisque didn't seem very bisquey to me, but had tons of flavour. The Ravi Stew will stick to your ribs and keep you warm all afternoon. And the wraps! The roasted pork shoulder would be great enough, but the curried lamb wrap is just sensational. Great flavour on the curry, big chunks of lamb, and lots of greens make it really pop. One of the best wraps I've had. Pro-tip: Go. Then, the next day, go again. read more

Really enjoyed my meal here tonight. Came here on a friends suggestion to try some place new. I called ahead not sure if I needed to make reservations due to all of the positive reviews on yelp. Got there and it wasn't busy. Ordered the soup and wrap combo, lamb wrap and butternut squash soup. The lamb wrap was pretty awesome, it had curry base so it helped knock out some of my under the weather I was feeling. The soup was delicious, it was hot and complimented the wrap perfectly. Will definitely return for the same thing again! read more

I love soup. I coule eat soup every day. The soups and wraps at Ravi's establishment are veryflavourful and satisfying. I tried a curried apricot and lentil soup with a lime cream drizzle and I sampled the butternut squash soup. Both were awesome. I look forward to going back to this place for lunch. Some vegetarian options and a banana bread that I have yet to try. I went to the Queen Street West location (they also have a location at Adelaide/Peter). Plenty of space to sit here, I like the counter space myself. read more

This place is straight up awesome and serves pretty much the best soup I have had just about anywhere. It can be hard to decide between the soups and the wraps. So, why not get both as a combo. The only downside to getting a combo is that when you get a regular soup on its own, it is served with a delicious biscuit with red pepper jelly. Decisions, decisions. While all of the soups are good, I am a huge fan of the red pepper bisque. Just phenomenal. read more

One of the best wraps and soups I've ever had! Ordered the sausage wrap which was super tasty. However, the most tasty wrap they have is the curry lamb wrap combo-ed with porchini mushroom soup. The curry lamb wrap was a combustion of flavors. Fresh spinach, pumpkin, mango chutney with a heavy portion of curry lamb. The porchini mushroom soup was ordered on a whim and Omg! It's not your typical cream of mushroom. It was a yummy broth with lots of mushroom bits. Sooooooo good!!!!!!!! Honestly, my partner in crime and I dropped by this place unplanned and because we were hungry. I'm so glad we did! Venue is also spacious and comfortable. Staff is friendly as well! read more

What a find! The best fusion style soup around. Their corn crab meat soup is to die for. Cute but stylish decor Great service Wraps are really good too but a soup and wrap combo is almost too much food for one person unless you are super hungry. The Giant communal style table is perfect for goups. Patio looks great but haven't checked it out yet as I only come here in fall/winter months. read more

Another great hole in the wall in the entertainment district of Toronto. If you want a flavorful soup and wrap this is your place! The food is extremely authentic and I highly recommend the lamb curry wrap! The price is great and the atmosphere is quaint and simply. Just note that if you don't have the largest appetite in the world, I wouldn't get the wrap and soup combo unless you want to try each out. However, two thumbs up for this place. Everytime I visit Toronto, I will be visiting Ravis. read more

Delicious and affordable! Flank steak wrap and the curried apricot soup were fantastic. Good value for the combo at $10.99 for decent portions of soup and wrap. Very busy during lunch hours on weekdays but worth it. Note: Every dish is somewhat spicy, not overwhelmingly so but if you can't have any spice this is not the place for you. Overall highly recommended. read more

Yum. Come here all the time for the veggie wrap. The only negative is they are pretty slow to take your order (usually more than 10 minutes). read more

Love the food- always fresh and new options available. Great staff and incredible furniture (long wooden table at the back is gorgeous) read more

I ordered from Uber eats on a Saturday evening and it was ready super fast. I had the chicken wrap combo with mushroom bisque. The soup was tasty but the real stand out was the wrap. It sounded just like a plain wrap but I was surprised with how delicious it was ! I'll admit it was smaller than expected however I was still satisfied. I highly recommend and I would return again ! read more

Tried the apricot soup. Very filling and amazing taste! Great portion for the price. Highly recommended. Will be visiting again. read more

Ravi Soups - Sandwiches Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This tiny lunch spot was the highlight of my trip to Toronto! Absolutely phenomenal flavors, quick service, and super-reasonable prices. I love that they have an option to get a soup and wrap as I am the most indecisive person in the world. The wrap with a smaller portion of soup was absolutely perfect. I had the roasted pork shoulder wrap, which comes with "RaviSlaw" - I have no idea what this is, but assume that a key ingredient is crack because I did not want to stop eating it. OMG. This was accompanied by a bowl of the corn chowder which comes with nice big chunks of blue crab. Mmm. The icing on the hypothetical cake was a delicious biscuit - imagine Red Lobster's cheesy biscuits, but classier - served with an awesome savory jam. SO FREAKING GOOD. I came with 6 friends and it only took about 10 minutes for all of us to be served. The dining area is small but we had no trouble fitting around the massive table that looks like it's a big tree cut in half (my guess is that it looks like that because it is ...). Prices were very reasonable and we all left happy. Nicely done! read more

I love everything about this place. The lamb curry wrap is kind of to die for. The lamb is just sooooo succulent and so tasty. I usually get angry at the filling to wrap (or bun if it is a sandwich) ratio and generally find there to be not enough filling when I eat out. This place dpes NOT make that mistake. the wrap is a masterful prototype of grilled soft roti-type yummy that is just strong enough to hold all that filling in but not in your way. In the soup department I have tried the Mushroom (my favourite!!---so incredibly delicious), ravi's stew- which comes with a generous portion of chicken and other vegetables, and the butter nut squash. To be honest... the other soups are good but... mushroom will always be the best and I always kick myself for not ordering the mushroom after I decided that I would be adventurous and try something else. The cheese biscuit is kind of the star performer here. It is buttery and delicious. I, myself, make a pretty damn good cheese biscuit/scone- but here..it's so flakey and..just perfect. So good that I have come on several occassions with my signif other and they have ordered a full meal and I just order me a delicious cheese biscuit. at 1.50$ each (I think they might have been cheaper a year ago before it became WAY popular)- they are still a steal. The communal tables are kind of the best thing in the world as I have made some fun lunch buddies along my ravi-soups adventures. And the staff are oh so kind to bring your meal out directly to you on a pretty legit lazy susan. I don't come here often, but when I have a craving for soup this is the FIRST place I think of. I don't mind spending the 10$ for a bowl of deliciousness, even when I could just warm up some "gourmet" store bought soup much more easily. There is something about the love and care I can see that is put into this place that I really appreciate. WIN. read more

I am a vegetarian soup lover. I came here with a friend and ordered the fancy-sounding curried apricot and red lentil soup with a veggie wrap for the lovely price of $10.99. My carnivorous friend ordered soup and a beef wrap. Our food came relatively quickly, and I was eager to dig in. I took a bite into my wrap, and immediately became suspicious about its surprisingly chewy contents. I alerted one of the staff, who came to the table and confirmed that he had switched my friend and I's orders. Ever so non-chalantly, he picked up our plates and switched them, without offering to bring my friend a new wrap since I had already bitten into it. Odd. Even disregarding that little incident, I just didn't find the food to be THAT great. You Yelpers set the bar high, but you let my taste buds down. I hope you're happy with yourselves. It's okay though... I'm here to bring DA REALNE55. The soup was good; the wrap was meh. Nothing amazing here... Curry on (GET IT? *Wink*). read more

The Ravi stew is realllly good and filling ! Good flavour and doesn't have too much soup and not enough chicken and veggies, it's like the perfect balance! The curied lamb wrap is also reallllly good and I love how it has mango in it ! read more

Ravi Soups - The Ravi stew and the curied lamb wrap! - Sandwiches Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Came here for the first time last week even though I go by it count less times. Wife and I got a soup + wrap combo and another solo soup to share. I'll keep this review short since it's not about the food, it's about the experience. The quality of the food was okay but sitting in the back with bathroom tiled decor eating our $30 meal did not feel worthy of the price. It didn't feel "clean" as another reviewer said and the bright lights just showcase every imperfection of the place. My review is also slightly biased because I'm generally never craving soup. Not that I don't love a good soup but there is never a day where I say to myself, "I really need a soup right now." It's generally..."I need a poutine or I need some Asian food." Soup...not really. So perhaps that is why I felt as though the price (min $10) for the soups are a little high. I also like paying for "effort" and when someone makes soup in bulk, pouring it into a bowl for me doesn't seem like much "effort". Now if you are a soup lover then this might be the place for you. 3 stars for an average experience due to the decor and the high cost of the simple meal. read more

Recommendation: Great tasting wraps complimented by feel-good soups. Great place for a hot breakfast or lunch during cold days! Definitely coming back soon. MUST TRY. I ordered: Lamb curry wrap + corn chowder combo. HOWEVER, they got my soup wrong and gave me Porcini Mushroom Wild Rice Bisque soupe instead. +1 Price vs portion: Looks small but you won't be hungry after eating everything. +1 Taste: The Lamb curry wrap was so flavorful that I want to try all the other wraps. Even though the soup was wrong but I kept it anyway. Turns out, the mushroom soup was on the blander side which perfectly complimented the intense and spicy wrap. -1 Customer service: Even though it was a good accident, I would be happier eating what I ordered. + 1 Comfortable place to eat: A bit clumped up but it's downtown so can't really complain. They have a huge table in the middle so that's good for a small group. -1 no "Wow!" factor, felt like a fast food place. read more

These guys make the best chicken wrap. It's my absolute favourite from their menu and my four stars are just for that. I absolutely love the combination of chipotle spiced chicken with sweet potato, its this perfect blend of sweet and spicy. They also have a nice patio and dining area (its a long wooden table that everyone shares... pretty cool). I have tried their shrimp soup and found it to be too salty. Same with the mushroom soup but I'd still go back for the wrap. read more

This restaurant can be described as Cafe food with East Asian flavours. I ordered the curried lamb burrito and squash soup combo and only liked the burrito (the soup lacked flavour), my friend had the stew and said it was super filling. Both of us were not prepared for the spicy and flavour level, we recommend this for a cold winter day, or when you are sick and needs a little something to help you breath better. TBH, both of us were sweating a little by the end of our meal, we now understand why they leave like 20 pitchers of water out for the customers :P read more

I don't even think my own mother could make soup better than Ravi. You may think to yourself that soup isn't a meal. You may think to yourself that soup isn't worth basing an entire restaurant around. You may even be so crazy as to think that you're not really that into soup. Well, not only would you be wrong all all counts, you've clearly never been to Ravi Soups. You have options. There are beef soups, squash soups, lentil soups, curried soups, everything! When you order soup, it comes with a biscuit and some different jam type things that you can eat with it. But, I concede, sometimes you want more than a soup. They've got wraps. In fact they have a soup and wrap combo, which comes with a slightly smaller soup, and a smaller wrap, but which satisfies so thoroughly, that you really wonder if you'll ever be this happy again. The answer is yes: on your next trip to Ravi's. The only downside is that it's not free. In addition to not being free, it's not super cheap, either. A soup or combo meal will cost you anywhere from $10-$13. read more

The service is really quick. I really like the interior, and there is a outdoor patio that can be used as well. I ordered a Curried Lentil and Apricot soup. It was way too spicy for me. I couldn't really eat more than 1/4 of it on the spot. Then I took the rest home and it took me about 3 or 4 days to finish. The portions are good, I think it's worth your money. Next time I will pick a soup that is more tame for my taste buds. read more

I kept hearing about how amazing the butternut squash soup was so I decided to try it out. I was pretty disappointed considering it didn't really taste that good. They used a combination of spices that overpowered and did not compliment the squash at all. I'll go back, but I won't be trying the butternut squash again. read more

Delicious! Fast, inexpensive and just fantastic. I got the soup and wrap combo: Porcini Mushroom wild rice bisque and the roasted chicken wrap. I had to be back at work and only had 30 minutes and didn't know what this place was like but they were literally 5 minutes to have my order ready and everything was perfect. Had a nice sit in the back patio, enjoyed my meal and still made it to work on time. I didn't realize how amazing this place was to Yelpers prior to coming. I was originally looking for a pita and on the way to the Pita Pit, I saw this place. The wrap was just fantastic! The chutney inside was amazing and there was something in the mayo that was also delicious. I feel like they could have added a bit of spice to it (the chutney was a super mild) but size was good and overall I was happy. The soup was a tad saltier than I would have liked and just on top of the soup I could see a little bit of grease bubbles. BUT, it was yummy none the less. Main reason I only gave a 4/5 was because I was hoping that with the word Soup in the places name, I expected this to be the all star of the food I bought. The salty part of the soup for me wasn't even that big of an issue but the grease in the soup..... After I ate the soup I could rub my lips together and they would slide. Yes, it was that greasy. Great taste but in my opinion, they need to back off the oil a bit. I will still be back here but next time I want to try the Ravistew. read more

Always great. Service is fast and no nonsense - everything is prepared fresh. Love the veggie wrap and the crab bisque. Today I tried the chicken hot pot soup and it was legitimately out of this world!!! Best lunch spot in the 'hood. read more

The soups are delicious and the portions are healthy in size... the salt content of the soups though, definitely unhealthy. If they could've kept the flavour without all that salt, it's be a full 4 stars. Don't get me wrong. It IS delicious. Tons of flavour but we were left super thirsty afterward due to the high sodium content. Extremely efficient operation and the staff seemed very friendly as they brought our soups over. We were there for dinner so it wasn't too packed, but it's small and I can easily see this place getting really busy at lunch time. read more

Was really excited to try out Ravi's soup! Heard good things from my sister, so I went the next work day for lunch and got it to go. I got Ravi's stew and the chicken wrap. I'll start with the wrap: pretty tasty! A bit small but I liked the additions of sweet potato and Chipotle sauce, and pretty filling as well. The chicken was a bit dry though. Same story with the soup : I liked the seasoning and there was a bit of a spice in there, but the chicken in the stew was a bit dry as well. Maybe I was expecting a lot but I was slightly disappointed with these two dishes. I would come again to try the other soups and wraps, however, as they are fairly priced - around $10 for lunch for a soup and wrap is pretty good. Friendly workers as well. read more

Ravisoups never disappoints. I visited again recently and the "combo" of the special soup (it was butternut squash & pear, or something like that), and the free range chicken wrap with cranberry & greens, was just the perfect amount of fresh, chef-prepared goodness. So no, I generally don't think soup is a meal, at least not butternut squash soup. Thank heavens for Ravi's perfect combo. Since it's a cold city for nearly half the year, I really think they should ditch the metal tables and chairs for something warmer. read more

It surely doesn't get any better than this! I had the combo with a roasted pork shoulder wrap and a mushroom bisque. My husband had a flank steak sandwich with beef miso soup. The flavours were incredible! We can't get over how delicious it all was. Pricing was very fair too. To top it off, we had it delivered by Hurrier which was the fastest and most efficient delivery ever who provided email updates on every step of our order. Very impressed with this meal. Highly recommend. read more

Woooooowwww so good! Here's what we ordered: 1) lamb burger - 4/5 (super fresh, very healthy tasting) 2) corn chowder - 4.5/5 (delicious, could use a little more crab, fantastic flavour and I love the pineapple on the side) 3) lamb wrap - 5/5 (unbelievably tasty) 4) chicken hot pot - 4.5/5 (light, many flavours, excellent) What else: -they have beer! Wicked -unique seating arrangement, like you're at a kid camp, but good -fresh ground pepper on the table and hot sauce if you ask for it Can't wait to come back here! read more

My go-to spot for a work lunch! I go to Ravi Soups at least once a month...more often particularly in the colder months. I usually have a the wrap and soup combo and leave with a full stomach. The coolest part is the communal table in the back. It's a great spot to make new friends. read more

I have eaten here several times and I have never been disappointed with the soup or wraps. The food actually is as good as remembered. Be warned though some items are quite spicy but I like this. As far as dessert goes, the cello wrapped banana cake / bread was a bit soggy and I can't recommend it unless you are desperate for a banana bread fix which I thought I was at the time. Expect to wait in line during peak times and also be warned that on a hot summer day, it will be very warm inside. The back out door patio is nice. I do look forward to my next visit! read more

By far one of the best restaurants in Toronto. Staff is fast & friendly, chefs are great, and the food is amazing. I have not been disappointed with any of the menu items. The flank steak wrap is like a gourmet steak dinner wrapped up all in one. Menu is very healthy, fresh, and unique. You will not be disappointed! read more

I WISH THEY HAD A LOCATION CLOSER TO ME! A friend and I had the pleasure of eating here in the summer. I've heard amazing things about the legendary Ravi's Soups and had to have a taste. The soups are rich and full of flavour. This is important because I love soup and it's so hard to find a soup that is rich and full of flavour. I literally ate every last drop. My sandwich was amazing and it was full as well. I had a wrap that fell apart because that's how full it was! Ravi gives you your money's worth! It's a bit pricey, but I got a soup sandwich combo which was more than enough to fill me up. We ate on the patio and it was so cute and intimate. This is a great place to have lunch, grab lunch and go, or just spend an afternoon with friends. I love the oak table in the middle of the bistro. read more

I love this place. Everything is excellent: food+service. Get a soup/salad or soup/wrap combo and make ur way through the menu. The in-store ambience is warm and cozy to me. A big wood table to eat at community style or in the summer the patio is my favourite. The mural is nice to stare at. Chicken hot pot soup is A+ Curried lamb wrap is juicy, boneless, flavourful and hearty. Great veg options as well. My go-to during a cleanse. You can call ahead to do a pickup or use Ritual as during peak times they are hella full. read more
