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!

Visited Kensington market on a Friday afternoon and holy crap!!! This place was AMAZING!!!!! Service: 5/5 - nicest gentleman working there! Ambiance: its a small interior with about 10-ish spots for people to sit comfortably. If have a bigger party -likely better to carry out. The food..... the quality of ingrediants are fantastic! Oh man! Its so incredibly good!!!! Everything on the menu was fantastic & carried a wonderful food profile. Great portion for the price. Highly highly recommend this place esp to any vegetarians!!

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!

Yummy and healthy vegan food with great variety in one bowl and great portions. But warning it's pretty spicy! The soup was delicious as well.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Veggie D'Light: A Little Bit of Everything

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.

This is a great Vegan spot, near the Chinatown District with many restaurants and spots near by this place truly will satisfy any Vegan or newby trying to start a vegan lifestyle. As a Caribbean carnivore, this is a place I will return to when I am in Toronto again

I love this place. The service is amazing and the food is incredible. Every time I go there I feel so welcome. This photo is one of my Level 1 meals from the meal plan they offer ($40+ tax) during Quarantine. It was so good, with just the perfect amount of spice. Definitely go out of the way for this. It is one of Kensington's jewels.

Vincci C.

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!

Roti with chick peas and other yumminess

Stephanie M.

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.

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 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

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

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.

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

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

I've heard some conflicting reviews about this well-known vegan restaurant, but I'm quite…read moreimpressed! I feel that the price point is actually very reasonable given the portions and quality of ingredients. A disclaimer that I've only tried their noodle dishes and not the sushi (I do like my seafood haha), but these are fantastic - rich in flavour without being overwhelmed with salt and sugar (the typical fallbacks for vegan food). Highly recommend the truffle fried rice and the Singapore noodles! The fact that the food seems to be relatively healthy (at least psychologically...) is of course a plus as well. The interior is fairly upscale, the dim lighting and elegant decor contributing to a muted but lovely ambiance. I do love a place that allows you to have a conversation at normal volumes! Service is always excellent without fail, the staff is helpful but not overbearing. A must for anyone who's vegan, vegan-curious, or simply searching for some great food in beautiful surroundings!

Previously, I had gone by myself and was so impressed, I took not just my family but invited my cousins and their families. Each family took turns ordering and they invited us to sit anywhere in the food court. In fact, the nice lady helped us move some tables so that we could sit together. Believe me, the tables weren't light. The meals came to us on a cart in the order the we ordered them. We didn't have to wait long. They made sure we had everything we needed, hot sauce, ketchup, syrup, napkins and cutlery. Everybody was surprised at the quality of the food and how upscale everything was. We got to use real forks, plates, etc. No one left hungry. As we were talking and enjoying our food, they came to us and presented us with a plate of cookies and other desserts that we weren't expecting, the kids loved it. The adults appreciated it. We appreciate Karine's and love everything about it. For the amount of food, it was GREAT value. This restaurant cares and I think we've found our new holiday tradition.

Some reviewers complained about the loudness, but, compared to many other downtown locations, Landwers was a medium level of noise, and we were able to converse. It was not excessively busy, but if you are set on eating here, then make a reservation. I finally tried the Sinia Kebab, and it was tremendously good! It was also huge, and I had to take half of it home with me. The focaccia bread is excellent, and serves as a sort of bowl for this deconstructed kebab. My husband had his usual Cobb Salad, which he thinks is particularly well done at Landwer's. Our other dining companion had schnitzel, which came with some angel hair pasta. He enjoyed it very much. Service is, as I said above, "relaxed". If you are planning to see a concert or show afterwards, then plan ample time to allow the relaxed service to unfold (a.k.a this is not fast food!!) We had a 6:00 reservation, and we were able to make our 7:30 concert time with about 10 minutes to spare. The University location is conveniently located near Thompson Hall, the subway, and Union Station (Via Rail and Go).

It has a clean, almost cafeteria feel which doesn't do a lot for the experience but at least provides confidence in the food quality. Service is friendly and professional, however it doesn't offer table ordering so you order at the counter and the food to your table. They advertise "Wheatless and Meatless" so as well a gluten free baked goods they offer many alternatives to popular brunch staples like bacon and eggs. I had the Breakfast Bowl, a beautiful medley of guacamole, pico de gallo, sweet potato, roasted mushroom, organic kale, black beans and tofu eggs. It was delicious. Have to admit, not exactly sunny side up eggs over a couple of slices of bacon, but it did taste great and I actually felt good afterwards. My daughter had the avocado toast which was served on a seed and oat toast. Spectacular dish, really tasty and gorgeous! I'm a black tea drinker and an added bonus is that they serve one of the best I've had (other than in my own kitchen). Will definitely be back, and they cater so next time you need to serve a lot of vegetarian celiacs you'll know who to call!

Alex, one of the owners, introduced himself shortly after we were seated, offering a warm welcome that immediately made us feel at home. The cocktail program is creative, with a thoughtful lineup of drinks, beers, and wines. We tried two cocktails--both delicious, though quite small for the price. A bit of a Toronto theme, it seems. We chose the six-course vegan prix fixe. Each plate was a true piece of art, crafted with precision and intention. You get to experience a range of flavors and techniques, though the dishes lean more toward tasting portions than filling plates. We left a bit hungry, and the pricing felt high for the amount of food. The best way to think of it is as investing in edible art--beautiful, expressive, and memorable, though not necessarily hearty. I'm not sure I'd rush back based on value alone, but I'm genuinely happy to see a vegan restaurant like this thriving. Grateful for the chance to experience it.

Neither did the eggs. It's like they figured out how to get the look and texture but gave up there. I couldn't eat them. And the bacon was also awful. It smelled like a bag of dog treats. I've had phenomenal vegan bacon at many places but whatever this was, was not good at all. Overall, it was very expensive and very disappointing.

This is the best vegan/veg restaurant in the city hands down!!! I stumbled upon this restaurant in Kensington Market last week and thought I would give it a try. From the second I walked in I felt like I was entering into a friends house. The atmosphere is so warm, welcoming, clean, and the people who work there are super friendly, chill and easy to talk to. Not only are they easy to talk to, but they know so much about the benefits of the food they sell. The icing on the cake was the food, man it was like heaven soooooo delicious!!!! I tried the jerk seitan and I mean where else would I be able to find this authentic Jamaican dish but veganized!! I loved it so much that I opened an account on here to write a review. For vegans, vegetarians, and even meat eaters, you will not be disappointed...Veggie D'Light even offers gluten-free options, and their food is GMO-free/organic!!! Again, this is THE BEST restaurant our city has to offer, such a hidden gem!!! read more

Great food, and Peter the owner makes you feel like one of the family! If you let him know it's your first time there, he will offer you a little taste of the various dishes so that you can make an informed choice. He really cares about his customers and the food he serves. My daughter and I went there for the first time on Pedestrian Sunday in Kensington Market, and our time at Veggie D'Light was one of the highlights of the day! We will definitely return! Greetings to Peter from his new friends in Hockley Valley! read more

The food here is fresh and delicious!! The first time I went, they had just closed, but the owner was kind enough to serve me anyway - the left over jerk seitan. Then he gave it to me for free!! This kind gesture made my night, and the food was SCRUMPTIOUS, so I of course returned. Peter, the owner, is so friendly!! He gives samples so you know exactly what to order...but it's not that easy because every dish is delicious!! Come to Kensington and try out Veggie D'Light - you'll love it! read more

This was the 1st time for me to visit Veggie D'Light & it won't be the last! The food is absolutely delicious & the ingredients are fresh. The place itself is average but clean. Staff was so helpful, they gave us a little taste of everything over rice. There wasn't a single thing in our bowls that we didn't like! The curry was my favorite protein but the jerk seitan and the moringa loaf were both delicious. I look forward to trying a Roti from here next time! read more

When I first came to Toronto I had just spent some time in Jamaica, and a friend brought me here to eat. I loved the food and love why the chef Peter McKenzie does the work that he does. Fast forward a year later and now I'm loving working for the company! Spiritual Enlightenment through food, that's our purpose. See you at the spot soon :) read more

It's a small but cozy restaurant. My friends and I were able to receive samples of the vegan Caribbean dishes as we weren't accustomed to some of the food. The customer service is warm and welcoming.
