Super friendly and chill atmosphere. Owner Peter will greet you and make your food with love. The jerk seitan is just enough heat and sweetness. Love the split pea roast! Don't be in a rush when you come. Relax and enjoy the experience- island style! read more

I've been eating at Veggie D for the past 5 weekends in a row and I just dont have enough good things to say about the restaurant. I feel sad for the poor people who walk by and dont come inside. Im not a vegan but everytime I leave here I feel energized, satiated, happy and ready to take on the day (not lethargic and full). The food is a vegan take on jamaican classics, pairing the wonderful savory and spicy flavors with vegan dishes like seitan, beans, etc. Absolutely brilliant cooking, lovely staff and I'm always floored by the different items the kitchen is cooking up. I usually get a mix of the jerk seitan and black eyed peas over rice with veggies and a nice ladle of the home-made hot sauce, oohwieee. so good. While I spring for the large(and keep half or so for a afternoon snack) a small portion here will fill you right up! Frankly, if youre in kensington and eating anywhere else, you're either a tourist or a moron. read more

This place is incredibly delicious, very healthy, and super filling. Love the owners too. Highly recommend!!!

I love this place! Peter is such an amazing person who makes you feel at home. Food is fresh, plentiful, delicious, healthy and VEGAN. Great value. Everyone should have their first vegan experience here. Very laid back! read more

This is one of those little gems that you'd walk by and miss if you didn't know it was there, or were too much in your thoughts to notice. I've been a few times and I always deeply enjoy the homemade soulful vegetarian food that they serve. The menu is small but everything is made with so much love you can taste it as the owner and chef is a radiant soul who genuinely loves what he does and loves people in general. If you're in the market and want a simple soulful Caribbean-inspired meal then stop in here for a bite. It's lovely. Respect. read more

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

We chose this place at random during a long layover in Toronto. Coming from Salt Lake City, vegan Caribbean food is not something we usually see so of course we had to try it out. Its in a pretty awesome location of the Kensington Market, a small place but that didn't matter since it wasn't busy when we arrived in the late(r) part of the afternoon. The lady who helped us let us try a few samples of their main courses so we could get an idea of what we were in the mood for. Both my husband and I opted for ALL OF IT and it was soooo good! The chickpea curry was probably my favorite, his was the jerk seitan. I really, really liked the pea roast that the combo came with too! They have a yummy hot chili oil that we poured on everything to give it all an extra kick and we left there so happy that we chose it!! read more

OMG! one of the best foods I ever had!! I had the small meal and it tasted heavenly! The lady who served the food was very nice, very pleasant personality. She gave me a small cup of soup of the day, and the soup was really very tasty. All the 5 stars!! read more

At first we had come to Kensington for another restaurant and while walking past Veggie D'Light we caught this amazing scent coming from their doors. Had an amazing meal, Jerk Seitan with chickpeas, jack fruit, moringa bread. The staff were extremely friendly and provided a lot of information about the food. Now I know what it's like to be in a state of nirvana. Great for vegetarians. Highly recommend read more

The food here is exceptional. I am not vegetarian or vegan but I get regular cravings for the food at veggie D'lite. I love the variety you get in one dish. I always get the plate. Delicious!!!!! read more

The food was amazing!!!! I have been here twice now and both times it has been exceptional! First time we were here we got to sample everything. Everyone working was so extremely nice and welcoming.

We love this spot and are delighted to go as often as possible. Their soup is always the highlight, but we've loved everything we've eaten here, and the owner?/chef? Is always really chill, fun and kind. I really appreciate how great we feel after we eat his food, too -- relaxed, energized, and ready to take on the world. At a recent visit (June 2020) we were very happy to see they had moved into a new, expended space next door. This place is a Toronto must-visit so we want to see it keep thriving. read more

Best food in Toronto, not just vegan but food period. I've been here three or four times and I just love the flavours and how I feel after eating the food - comforted, full and happy. The jerk seitan, salad and roti are my favorite but the magic is in how everything mixes in the plate and I am hooked. Thank you so much! read more

Amazing Caribbean vegan food in a warm and welcoming spot. I used to come here when Hot Beans was here. The split pea roast, jerk seitan, the chickpea curry all are delicious and as others have pointed out made with love by the owners. It also feels so much healthier than some Caribbean food which can sometimes be greasy. even if it is veg. When we were there Peter offered up samples of the food to a family that were checking him out (we told them the food was great...eating is believing...they had just eaten lunch and wished they had eaten there instead! read more

Seriously amazing vegan spot, best ital food in town, super good vibes, amazing portions, incredibly tasty, wonderful owner, super chill spot, you GOTTA check this place out!!!!! read more

Want some comfort food that you won't feel horrible after consuming? Veggie D is your G. No wonder they seem to have quite the following. The owner is great and if you say that it's your first time you might be offered to sample a bit of everything. Just make sure that you're not in a rush as there is a relaxed vibe in the shop. Split pea roast, sorrel, jerk seitan, chickpea curry... mmm - can't wait to try more goods! read more

The best vegan restaurant in town. The food is delicious. You can definitely taste the difference between a quick meal and something that's made with love. I love that no animals are harmed in making these wonderful dishes! Keep up the great work!!! read more

My new favorite vegetarian restaurant! Food is fresh, flavorful and filling. Tried their spin on jerk chicken and it was amazing, looking forward to trying the curry Roti. Hope they open more locations, think that everyone would enjoy this! read more

Peter was incredible and the food was too! Vegan roti with chickpeas, seitan and veggies... incredible. Great idea to offer free food to first time goers so you know exactly how good it is, and really Peter's presentation and style are a big part of the entire experience. I highly recommend, even if you're NOT vegan read more

The nicest owner. Delicious hearty food. AND it's vegan (with gf options). I told the owner I eat gluten-free, and he didn't hesitate to make me a delicious plate of all of the gf options of the day. Vegan & carribean comfort food. Also, the ginger and pineapple drink is fresh and delcious. read more

Fantastic, delicious, rich healthy food served by a very cool guy who clearly loves what he does. Highly recommend!

Brilliant! Not vegan but the tastes are fabulous in this friendly hole in the wall spot. Loved the lentil and lemongrass soup. The little meal was excellent. Highly recommended. read more

Excellent food, excellent service, and extremely hip vibe...I enjoyed the Seitan and curry chickpea roti along with the soup. Delicious!

The guy who owns this place is good vibes all around. He loves his moringa powder and was telling us all about it as he gave samples and made recommendations. The food was filling, satisfying, and made me feel good which doesn't happen often with take-out. I also LOVED the Sorrel as well as the pineapple ginger drink with chia seeds in it. Yum. read more

So good - I just wish they were open on Mondays and Tuesdays!

Great spot! The owner puts tons of love into every plate he serves. You get a very filling meal with what you pay for and the variety is amazing. def try it! read more

Does NOT disappoint! The restaurant is chill and pretty small, and the vibe is definitely relaxed. I would probably opt for taking the food to go and eating it at home though, just because there isn't a lot of space. That being said, the food is amazing. Vegan food that doesn't taste bland or boring and packs a powerful flavour. Get the meal combo and ask to try a bit of everything, it's the best way to go! The jerk seitan is nicely spicy and the chickpea curry is total comfort food. Definitely worth the visit. read more

That this is the best vegan Caribbean good in town is not a huge statement, though there's some competition. But this is some of the best food in town, period. Only a few choices, but all of them fantastic. The couple (?) who run the place are also wonderfully friendly and enthusiastic. Whenever I bring friends (which is whenever I can) they take pleasure in explaining the options and giving samples of everything. read more

Cool place with chill people, the food is maybe not so good looking but yet it's very tasty and delicious. They have gluten free options too. read more

A friend took me here and I had the jerk with artificial meat. It was incredible. It really did taste like meat! I later took another friend here who is a vegan and she loved it! The owner Peter is really kind as well. read more

Vggie D'Light is so delicious! I walk out of my way to get this for lunch every week. The atmosphere is chill and the owner's/employees are really customer oriented. The food is well priced and you can taste the quality. My fav is the jerk seitan but there is nothing on this menu I won't eat. Highly recommend Veggie D'Light for a delicious, filling, well priced meal in the Kensington area! read more

Amazing food, cool vibe and great staff that really love what they do! You can get a choice of three meals or all 3 in one. So much delicousness in the accents and veggies used. A true health food resto that tastes amazing read more

Wandered in to this place accidentally and boy did it exceed my expectations. The place has an absolutely lovely atmosphere, - the owner asked if it was my first time there (and it was) so he took the time and offered me to taste test all of the protein options, which are the focus of the dishes, and they were all delicious at a really good price! If you like some heat in your food, you can absolutely get it. The food itself isn't spicy when prepared, however the hot sauce options are great and range from 1 to AWESOME (scotch bonnet peppers kicked some flavourful ass!) Overall have to agree with the other review, don't be in a rush when you come here, take your time and enjoy the vibes. read more

Been keeping an eye on this place since it opened this year and yesterday my date and I checked it out. We were given samples of the protein (jerk seitan, split pea roast and chickpea curry). I opted for the chickpea meal and my date had a jerk seitan roti to go. We were not disappointed. It was delicious and I was pleasantly surprised by the split pea roast, alfalfa and green beans added to the meal. I love comfort food and this meal touched my veggie soul. I'll be back! read more

This place is my go-to for a super-healthy, delicious, comfort vegan food on the go. Very relaxed atmosphere, very friendly and very well-priced. My only complaint is that they are frequently closed / out of food when I'm on way home and hungry later in the evening. Sigh! :( read more

Awesome! Never knew vegan tasted this good and I'm definitely covinced to try out a vegan diet. Get the meal combo for $9.75 and you'll be able to try most of the dishes available in small amounts. Thumbs up for the variety and the big portion which kept me full for a while! read more

Really friendly service, the owner took his time to explain the food and provided samples. Lots of care and attention goes into the meals here. Plus its healthy and delicious. I got a little bit of everything. Worth the $10 price. Nice atmosphere too. I love the post-it notes on the wall!! read more

The server was down to earth, genuine, and really pleasant to talk with. I really appreciate how she allowed us to have samples of the meal before we ordered. I enjoyed the jerk seitan with a mix of purple rice, quinoa, and flaxmeal grain. I also tried the moringa loaf which tasted like mashed potato in a loaf from with gravy. I like the atmosphere in the restaurant as I find it very inviting due to its bright and warm colors. read more
