This place doesn't have much on the menu, but what's on offer is incredible. Make sure to get all the protein.

Vegan Caribbean food...where have you 'bbean' all my life?? It's warming, fresh, & still has that distinct Caribbean spice. Essentially, they always serve 3 different 'proteins', 2 carb options, and fresh veggies. A small $9.99 combo lets you choose 2 proteins + 1 carb, while a large $14.75 combo gets you all 3 proteins. I got the small combo with Jerk Seitan & Curry Chickpea with the flax quinoa basmati brown rice. It was very filling, had great textures, and bright flavours. Some of the components were a little cold though because they've all been pre-cooked and just sitting out or in their pots. I would rate the food as 4/5, but what made this a 5 star review was the homey feel and wonderful samples I got! Upon walking in, it's a very small place with very limited seating. The owner greeted us and noticed we were obviously first-timers. He started bringing out samples of each of the proteins for us to try. He took his time to serve us and accommodated to any substitutions. I'm so glad I finally got to try Veggie D'Light, I love the wholesomely delicious and vegan take on Caribbean cuisine! read more

Highly highly recommend this place esp to any vegetarians!! read more

My friend and I first passed Veggie D'Light right before we entered Kensington Market to explore the neighborhood. At the end of the afternoon when we wanted to find a spot to eat dinner, I decided to head back over to Veggie D'Light. From the outside, it looked very small, but once we walked in, the interior was much larger than it looked like from the outside and very cozy. There was comfortable welcoming couch closer to the counter. We decided to opt for the stools by the window. The counter next to the window had some pretty plant terrariums. There was also some pleasant music playing while we were there. My friend made the comment that it felt like we were eating at someone's house rather than eating out. I enjoyed the welcoming ambiance of Veggie D'Light. There were a few other people eating but no line to place our order when we came in. A few people also grabbed to-go orders. First we were offered a small sample of the soup which was very flavorful and delicious. I didn't end up getting the soup since I was craving a rice dish instead. I was given a sample of the rice and the jerk seitan and curry chickpea next. I fell in love immediately and order a full sized meal of that. I asked for it with the spicy sauce on it. The jerk seitan had a great texture and the jerk flavor was delicious. The curry chickpea was my favorite part. The curry sauce was spicy and full of flavor. Eating the sauce with the basmatic rice with flax and quinoa was a great combo. The combination of the textures and flavors surprisingly worked really well together. I can't wait to come back for more! read more

Delicious vegetarian Caribbean food located conveniently in Kensington! It's quite a small place so seating is limited but we managed to grab two seats on the sofa but just be aware this isn't the place to have a huge group at! Food was delicious, I picked the special and the lady working there was very helpful in recommendations and giving us samples to try before we make our decision! Would definitely come back to try their roti. read more

Being vegetarian in Michigan, I've never really had Caribbean food. I was excited when I saw this place in the neighborhood I'm visiting in Toronto. And I was even more excited when I got my food! The person behind the counter was very friendly and gave us samples of soup and the three protein choices. They all tasted fantastic. I picked the jerk seitan and curried chickpeas small combo, and my partner got a small combo with maringa loaf and chickpeas. We both loved our meals and couldn't quite finish them; the small is plenty big for lunch! The atmosphere was pleasant, with lots of dark wood and a reggae/hip hop/r&b radio station playing. There's not a lot of seating, but we snagged seats at the bar looking out the window. We got to people watch and also advertise for the restaurant as we enjoyed our food on display. :) We had trouble when it was time to pay. They don't accept credit cards, and our American Visa debit cards weren't working with their machine. We found an ATM nearby. Accessibility note: this place would be hard to navigate if you use a wheelchair, crutches, or a cane, or if you're larger than average. You have to go down steps to get to the counter and there's a very narrow passage. read more

Veggie D'Light - Jerk seitan and curry chickpea small combo. - Caribbean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I had the meal and I think nothing tastes good in it. This looks like a place that uses good quality and healthy ingredients. But the food really just didn't taste good. Inside the bowl there were a lot of different things. The vegetables were just simple steam vegetables. Some of them were a bit bitter and under-cooked. The curry didn't have much taste to it. And there are some greasy chunks of cubes inside that I'm not sure what they are. Overall it just felt like a bunch of food that don't blend well being pile together. read more

Veggie D'Light - Caribbean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Whether you eat plant-based or not, Veggie D'Light is worth trying. If you want to try a bit of everything, order a small meal ($10) so you can try the different proteins. The jerk seitan has a great texture, while the moringa loaf is moist and almost nutty tasting. Served on brown rice and topped with colourful fresh veggies. After frequenting Veggie D'Light for a couple years now, I am always wowed by how satisfying and delicious their food is.The inside is dim and cozy - don't miss it as you walk down Baldwin street. read more

First of all, I am a devout carnivore. I hardly eat veggies, and I know I should eat them more often. After a particularly heavy weekend of junk food and alcohol, I decided on a light vegetable dinner, and this place did not disappoint. 4.5/5 - Food (I'll round down) The food was packed full of flavour. Every bite was so good, I didn't mind that it was all vegetables. I had the jerk seitan, and the sauce was perfectly spicy. My only complaint is that if you're not used to seitan (wheat gluten) it does taste funny. it has a gummy texture and a weird after taste. I would have liked if they had more meat substitutes, especially some that would have the same texture as meat. However, overall, my tastebuds, wallet, and bowels were satisfied with this meal. Great place to have a vegan meal, especially for those meat eaters that are scared of flavourless veggies. read more

Well, this was definitely my first time indulging in this specific cuisine. I didn't hate but I also didn't love it. I had the opportunity to taste a variety of Peter's (Chef) selection. I had curry chick peas (which was enjoyable), moringa loaf (wasn't bad, I wouldn't have it again), jerk seitan (did not like), with his special rice, which I believe was brown rice with other things mixed in it. I also had his soup. Now, I'm a soup lover so out of everything the soup was the best tasting food to me. Overall, I enjoyed my experience at this divine, small and cozy spot in Kensington Market. I will definitely come back for the soup, hands down. If you are looking for something different and not afraid to try Caribbean food with a twist, stop by and try Veggie D'Light. read more

Delicious food, excellent friendly service! I remember first stumbling upon this cozy restaurant a few years ago, not ever having heard of or knowing what seitan or moringa loaf was. Peter ever so kindly let me try out all the proteins before placing my order. Veggie D'Light has since become one of my favorite places in town. My go to order is the small or large meal (depending on how hungry I am) with everything. They also have a home made scotch bonnet hot sauce that's amazing. Sometimes there's a bit of a line up to order during peak periods and they'll give everyone waiting in line a small sample of soup while they queue. Overall, love this place! read more

Veggie D'Light is d'lectable! The owner and chef at Veggie D'Light is a d'aler of d'licious addictive chickpea curry. I visited Veggie D'Light for lunch. It was my first time visiting. The owner was kind enough to offer samples of their daily specials. Everything was great! I opted for a small meal combo ($5.99) with two items; curry chickpeas and moringa loaf. The moringa loaf must be an electrifying d'scovery to the whole vegan world. Moringa is a rich source of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. It also contains significant amount of protein! In short, it makes a positive d'fference in your health! I applaud the chef's creativity in morphing moringa powder into loafs! The second item, curry chickpea was box scrapping good! Spices from the curry such as cumin and turmeric aid d'gestion and reduce inflammation! I couldn't help but scrap the paper box for more after my meal was complete. Basmati Brown Rice with Flax and Quinoa was d'lightful with the curry. Look forward to my next visit! It's D'bomb! read more

I have been here once before a few years ago. I came back for my second visit on Sunday. My friend is a new (born again) Vegan! I arrived first and started chatting with the man behind the counter, I should have asked his name. A very nice and kind man. I told him I was flexitarian (he laughed) and I inquired about some of his dishes. I went with the roti and he said he put this and that in it. I should have paid closer attention. It was delicious! Now I don't know what was in it! Ha! So fresh and tasty! A very good size portion. My friends had a combo dish and it looked huge and tasty. My friend paid so I don't know how much stuff was but I would pay whatever it was so good. He brought us a taste of a vegan brownie looking item. The texture was unique and it had a familiar taste, like having a flashback to something. He told us what was in it and then it dawned on me. Christmas cake but without all those nasty green and red cherry things! Ha! This flexitarian will be back! Oh I love the positivity wall filled with compliments and love on sticky notes. read more

Veggie D'Light is another happy find on my personal journey to eat more of a vegetable based diet. I loved the jerk seitan with brown basmati rice, flax seeds and quinoa, organic veggies, a small piece of moringa loaf and curried chick peas. It is a flavorful and delicious option regardless of your vegetarian credentials. read more

I ordered using Foodora and I loved everything. I got their lunch deal which had their jerk seitan, over brown rice, a side salad, and a side of curried chickpeas. I also got a pineapple ginger drink. Amazing flavor. Out of all the vegan restaurants I've been to, this was the most flavourful. They are not afraid of spices. The texture of the seitan was acceptable. It was not too soft but it wasn't as chewy as real meat. This container was packed with veggies so youll definitely be full. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a hearty meal. It can get spicy over time but cool off with a pineapple ginger juice! read more

My last night in Toronto found me wanting a non-Asian veggie meal. I found Veggie D'Light online, and noted it was located at/near Chinatown. A short, 1.7 km (1.1 mile) walk from my hotel found me entering a small alcove, with the kitchen/counter down a short flight of stairs past a small seating area. A warm welcome by the chef/proprietor and a tasting sample of the soup of the day made me look forward to a change-of-pace dinner. I had a bowl of scrumptious bean soup and a made-to-order bowl of curry chickpea with beans, rice, lettuce, carrots and quinoa. Every bite was a little taste of luxury, in a setting filled with classical music, friendly chat, and wonderful aromas. For a while, I was relaxed, warmed and transported to an island dream. A nice ending to a week of rain and chill. read more

This place is awesome. If you are in the mood for some Caribbean food and happen to be vegetarian? There aren't too many options that I can think of. Thankfully, there's Veggie D'light and, like I said, it's awesome. The staff is super friendly (5 stars). When we came in for the first time, we didn't know what we wanted, we were given the chance to sample the different options. The dilemma is that everything tastes great. We decided to get two different options and share. The portion is very generous. We had no problems finishing the meals. You know it's good when you eat something and have a smile the whole time. A couple of things to note. It's a small place with limited seating. It does seem to have a crowd of people come through, so come early to get a table. It's got a limited number of options, which from what I can tell changes from the times I've come in. The jerk seitan is as good as others have yelped about here!! read more

Wonderful staff, chill space, and extremely filling plant-based grab-and-go food! Perfect for workday lunches since all the ingredients are protein-rich and complex rather than simple carbs, so no more afternoon sugar slumps :) Small meal combos are $7 and large are $12. Each combo comes with a choice of protein (or 2 or 3 if you want to substitute out carbs and/or veggies), a carb, and veggies (raw). Today's soup of the day (~$5) has a stew-like, heavier lentil base, very filling and reasonably seasoned, not too salty but probably more on the bland side. As much as I liked the whole grain basmati rice from the sample one of the chefs gave me, I opted out of my choice of carb for 2 choices of protein. The chickpeas were fine, but jerk seitan may be more of an acquired taste as it was spicy and sweet with an interesting (not exactly meat-like) texture. I was actually so satisfied afterwards, so 10/10 would return again! Lost 1 star since the space inside - although cozy - was quite cramped and the prices could be just a teeny bit lower for the portion sizes served. They do cater. There is WiFi, but you must ask for the passcode. They only accept cash or debit. read more

Just finished my meal from here. The employees and owner were so welcoming and kind. The food is amazing. It has so healthy and hearty and I can't wait to tell my friends and go back. Plus the food was so filling I had to save some for later. I was stopped on the street by someone who saw me leave the restaurant and told me how amazing and healthy the food is too! You can just tell by the other customers reactions and experiences at this place how much love goes into the food!

I went to Veggie D'Light when visiting Toronto as the first stop on a Kensington food crawl. Once I had their small combo platter though (curried chickpeas, jerk seitan, moringa loaf, brown rice w/flax, veggies) I was so full that I spent the rest of the evening (contentedly) watching other people eat. For $7 (I believe), you get a heaping/awesome mix of vegan Carribean food. Why are more people not coming here?! read more

Before this weekend, my impressions of the Toronto vegan restaurant scenery were pretty negative. I thought that most of the vegan places were average overpriced restaurants serving food that I could essentially cook myself. And then Veggie D'Light happened. Until further notice, this is my new favorite restaurant. It's DELICIOUS, the price is CHEAP, and there is AMAZING SERVICE. Winning combo. Let's start with the food. So freaking good. I got the small meal combo and the lentil soup. The meal combo came with the jerk seitan (which is the perfect combination of spices) and the curry chickpeas (I could write a love poem about this). And the lentil soup was a delicious creamy explosion of flavors. Everything is completely vegan!!!! As someone who recently found out they are lactose intolerant, this was amazing to hear, because I love creamy soups. The price is super reasonable too! Probably one of the least expensive vegan places in Toronto. And the service!!! Since it was our first time, we were given samples of the food, which is honestly such a great concept. Like, I wish every other restaurant did that. I like to know what I'm signing up for before ordering my food. Anyway, Veggie D'Light has a great homy vibe. I will 100% be going back for more. read more

Well, the owner is the chef and runs the place by himself, the food prepared is fresh just like homemade, light vegan food. He is kind and cheerful. Its a single hand running eatery. But I find the food just okay. I tried different stuff couple of times, but could not agree with the 5-star reviews. If you are in Kensington, looking for vegan food, this should not be your first choice. read more

Maybe we went on an off day? This is a classic example of a hippie joint making bad food and surviving solely due to a captive veg audience. The jerk seitan people rave about mostly just tastes like vinegar. The pea roast is mushy and bland. Overall, nothing stands out in a good way. The gluten-free lasagna, however, stood out in a very VERY bad way. Grossest texture ever, gummy and stretchy "pasta" that revived a long-dormant gag reflex. If you have standards, please don't bother with Veggie D'Light. For great veg Caribbean food in the same price range, make a trip to One Love Vegetarian instead. read more

D'Light, D'Best, D'licious! This unassuming restaurant speaks volumes with its food. The gentleman (I believe it's the owner?) is always welcoming and happy to see you. Since there are always different options, he usually gives everyone little "samplers" to try out what you like. EVERYTHING IS GOOD - it's just a matter of what tastes the best. I'm a personal fan of the jerk seitan, the black eyed peas (when they're available), and the split pea roast. I would highly recommend getting the combo so it's served a bed of rice, flaxseed, and other goodies. You'll find that the sauce and food on top soaks into this bed of carbs and makes it so much better. The only item I haven't tried yet that I've been dying to is the Pineapple Ginger drink. I will post another review once I cross that off the list. read more

Searching for healthy vegetarian options in Yelp, Veggie d'light was described as Caribbean vegan with a great price $. I wanted to explore Kensington market on my first night here, and I also intended to socialize with the Caribbean crowd at some point during the weekend. And so I knew I couldn't go wrong. I spent my first ever evening in Canada at this lovely place with perfect food, good vibes and good people (including the owners!) who I hopefully see again. read more

I'm adding my voice to those who love this place. The people who own the business are terrific, and so is the food. Relaxed atmosphere. Very relaxed. I guess you'd have to like that.
