The restaurant looks plain from the outside, but when we walked in we were surprised by how bright and snazzy it was. Long gleaming cases of multicolored sweets run along one side and there is a take out buffet at the back. In the center there are a number of booth in bright orange. The whole effect is very very appealing. After a bit of a miscommunication - we accidentally ordered order take out (which is priced slightly differently) but we wanted to eat in. After we sorted that out it all went smoothly. The staff was exceptionally helpful and very friendly. After we looked at the menu we quickly abandoned plans for light breakfast and decided to go for a full feast - it was just too tempting not to. We had the Chana Bhatura & the Chana Kulcha - which both came with the same chana curry but different breads, so we could share and sample. The bhatura arrived as two perfect pillows. They looked a structural marvel and when pulled apart to be eaten were deliciously chewy. It was a brilliant accompaniment to the curry which was spot on - spiced to be a bit hot but for us it was perfect. The kulcha came stuffed with a mix of aloo, onion and paneer. It was exceptionally tasty and again went perfectly with the chana curry. We also had a samosa each and a side order of dhokla (a tasty savory sponge which is a little bit tangy). The samosa were generous and spiced nicely and even had some paneer in them. The dhokla were great when dipped in some of the green coriander sauce which came with it. It is hard to express how much we liked everything. It was a genuine treat. Even the raita, pickled veg and sauces that came on the side were all just a bit elevated. We cleaned our plates. We were so full we didn't have any room for the sweets, which looked amazing. We are already planning a return visit. Five stars well earned!

Ok, so I rarely write reviews. I find them a bit of a waste of time, and I'm firmly against writing…read moreone if you dislike the restaurant. Hence why we're here. Well, at first I was a bit on the fence about ordering cause of the vegetarian/vegan menu, I like my meat, love meat, got to have my protein dammit! But wow! was I ever surprised and happy about following my gut and choosing to go there. You see, I'm from Vancouver, and if you know a bit about my hometown is that you know we have a very large asian population. Heck, I'd even go as far as saying it's my second language, (my first language is English and my parents are Chilean...never spoken a word of it) but I've been around it so much somehow, I feel I could get by given the chance. So, by examining the pictures from the online menu, I thought to myself; If the food is anything remotely like the pictures, it looks exactly like my fav spot in Vancouver - Congee Noodle King- also a must try if you're in east Vancouver. Just trust my absent Asian ancestry ok?! I ordered the N65. Fried Noodles with Steamed and Stir-Fried Bean Curd, and as a request asked them to make it spicy to which they happily and kindly obliged. This dish was packed with flavour. Oh em gee! Loaded with fresh crunchy veggies, the noodles were spot on: thin, velvety and a lot of them. Makes for some healthy slurps! Oh, did I mention the meat? No, I didn't, because it didn't have any, and I have never not missed something so much. The crispy fried bean curds tasted like deep fried spare ribs. My pupils dilated a bit. And that's ok cause I went into a food coma, got to heaven and wrote a review about the very first Asian restaurant I try in Toronto and I'm already planning to go back. If you give this place less than 5 stars you don't know food, Asian food or how to speak it so go on and chew on some meat! Thank you for the wonderful and friendly service as well. I shall return. How do you say that in Mandarin? Cheers! - Patricio

Stumbled upon this restaurant as I was looking for vegetarian restaurants and thought the food was…read morepretty good! I tried their soy chicken drum sticks, kim chi, dumplings, siu mai, and radish cake. My absolute favourite and would recommend is the radish cake!! It is so good. The kim chi was off-putting and was drenched in whatever sauce. The dumplings are also really good as well. I like the layout and aesthetics of the restaurant. One thing to note also was that the employees just seemed miserable. I understand we came an hour before closing but they just seemed miserable and sort of ticked off that we were coming an hour before closing.

This was a unique experience as I didn't quite know what to expect. I was in the area and Veggie…read moreParadise came up as one of the non-fast food/chain alternatives and I was feeling adventurous, so... Veggie Paradise specialises in Veg take-out (call ahead), Frozen/Dried meals and ingredients. I write "Veg" 'cause it may be even Vegan, as opposed to just Vegetarian. They also do custom vegan/vegetarian cakes/pastries. This place is run by 2 sisters and their workers. As soon as Sandra heard that I wanted something to eat, she prepped me with an Asian meal - as opposed to their other meals that are more popular amongst gwai-lo. Meal comprised of a soup (looked like Tom Yum, but not sweet/spicy), a separate plate with Rice, Bok Choy (chopped with garlic), & a portion of fermented Mustard Greens with Green Peas (this was medium spicy). The meal was tasty, yet rather homey as it wasn't overly salted. I really felt like I was eating at an aunt's house! This place is located in a rather industrial, catering to Vegans/Vegetarians (or people who just enjoy the occasional veg meal), so just call ahead if you want to order something! The sisters will even offer you a sample if it's available. :)

Before I run the risk of saying "Brampton finally has a vegan spot", I would be remiss to not…read moreacknowledge that there are numerous Indian restaurants in the city which are either vegetarian or vegan. But for those looking for a vegan spot which serves up largely 'western' food, this definitely fills a void. When I was looking ahead at the menu, it's clear that they put a lot of thought and purpose in their menu. For example, there were a few different types of burgers, but they weren't simply doing their best to impersonate beef such as a soy patty or a 'Beyond' meat. Rather, they were more simple whole foods, such as black bean and mushroom-based. Most vegetarian burgers I've enjoyed most are more like these rather than the former. For a restaurant on the lower end of the cost scale, this would have to be one of the most nicely decorated ones. In fact, quite a bit nicer than many restaurants in a higher price point. A gorgeous open interior with lots of copper features and almost an indoor garden theme. Even the dinnerware for dinning in exceeded anything in the same price point by a long shot. I've always loved wraps and falafel, so it was easy to pick that from their menu. I asked about their falafel and they are baked here rather than fried and they also use carrot in the mix (alone with other components). It was a bit confusing from the menu description however as its called a falafel wrap, but in the description they're called 'carrot keftedes' (Greek meatballs). They definitely most closely resembled a falafel, so maybe they should stick with that - but most importantly they tasted great. Lots of seasoning and flavour which is always great, but especially important when relying less on sauces, oils, etc... for taste compared to conventional dishes. The garlic aioli sauce that went on it was amazing and I'd love to know how they made it since it's of course vegan too. As some said, portions are a bit smaller and that was somewhat true for the wrap - though it was still quite filling. But that wasn't true for the side of cubed sweet potatoes I ordered. They were roasted and then seasoned with salt and pepper. The portion I received could easily be split by two or even more people and still be considered a lot. I have a bigger appetite than most and even then had a full portion for takeout. I'll try and come by more regularly and I hope others do too. If it's really filling a void that many express is in the restaurant industry - and especially in Brampton, then people need to step up and support them.

I ordered the mini size bowl but it was more than enough to fill you. All the ingredients were fresh it's a great choice for people who want a healthier choice. The only thing I didn't like was the smoked tofu pieces, at first I was disappointed because I only got three small pieces but after I tasted it I didn't care. It lacked flavor and did not compliment anything in my bowl. I also got the chocolate zucchini brownie YUM YUM YUM omg. I tried that when I got home I could not believe how chocolatey and creamy it tasted. Its dairy free and vegan crazy I would hoo back just got the brownie. It is pricey though 5.50 for the square.

Christmas in March!…read more My best friend and I were supposed to meet up before Christmas. We both got busy, especially with my being stateside for the holidays. When I returned, she was away. We were both free in mid-March to exchange Christmas gifts and catch up. She lives in Peterborough. We tend to meet partway. I suggested this Veggie Planet in Ajax. She was game. We both had never been to any Veggie Planet location. I had no problem finding a parking spot in this plaza. I backed into a spot a few doors down from this eatery. I waited for my friend to arrive. Once she did, we walked in. Being our first time, we went with a pizza. I asked an extremely helpful woman behind the counter what size would be good for us. She recommended a medium pizza. We got the following items: - Medium Indian masala pizza - Onion rings - Kawa nuggets - Masala soda (sweet with a hint of saltiness) - Diet Pepsi My friend wanted onion rings. I originally wanted to get the kawa (soy) drumsticks. The female staffer recommended the nuggets instead. Interesting. I went with her suggestion. For the masala soda, she said that I could get it either sweet or salty. I asked if I could get a bit of each. So, my drink ended up being sweet with a hint of saltiness. I paid with a credit card. The transaction was smooth. She said that she'd bring the food and drinks over. Nice! We grabbed a table and chatted. Our drinks came out first. I loved my masala soda. It was slightly sweet. It did have a bit of saltiness to it. The masala was perfect with the fizzy soda. I just wish that this drink were offered in a larger size. I ended up getting a cold Diet Pepsi an hour later. It was perfect. Our medium Indian masala pizza came next. By default, it had tomatoes, onions, and green bell peppers. My friend is vegan. We made sure that we got vegan cheese. The pizza was yummy. The cheese melted nicely. However, with this vegan cheese, you will never get a stretchy cheese pull. In hindsight, this pizza would have been even better with protein. Kawa would have worked nicely. Luckily, we had kava nuggets. They were delicious. They were crispy and yummy. You couldn't tell that they were soy. The dipping sauce was yummy. I liked the onion rings. They were so crispy. They were enjoyable to eat. We spent at least a couple of hours here. I provided feedback on how fabulous the food was and how helpful the woman was when I bought my Diet Pepsi. She smiled and seemed happy. There is a washroom that's a single stall at the back of this eatery. It's the type where you press a button to lock the door and another button to unlock it. A light outside the washroom lets the world know that it's either vacant (green) or occupied (red). My friend used it first and said that it was clean. I used it afterwards. A customer tried opening the door twice while I was using the washroom. I actually said something the second time and she stopped tugging at the door handle as if her life depending on it. When I was done, I locked eyes with the woman who was clueless about the lights. Other than weird washroom woman, we had a great time here. I still want to try the drumsticks and get the masala soda again. So good! (139)

Our mouths were watering from the smells of the food in the car! All in all the food was consistently good - food was fresh, large portions, and really flavourful. My only gripe was the vegetable biriyani had potatoes, corn and paneer, a little unorthodox. If you need some quick, reliable and fresh basic North Indian food, I would recommend this place!
