    It’s GIVING 10 out of 10. Honestly y’all the food was soooooooooooooooo good. Like let me say it again. Excellent! The colors, the flavors, my taste buds felt like they were back in Jamaica. Everything tasted. Fresh (which I love). Ital good for the win xx I used the TooGoodToGo app to secure my meal and it was one of the best things I’ve done for my self. Myyy goodness. The atmosphere of the restaurant was inviting, felt very homey cafe like you were so happy to be in that space cuz the energy was great. Staff was so friendly.

    I had tried visiting this place a few months in the past month and realized their hours, but it was well worth the wait! I loved the food and atmosphere of this place. It was quite busy when I arrived with people coming and going and once I tried the food, I can see why. You can tell they are hard workers with this business to put out some special food here. My girlfriend and I ended up getting the large box meal (It had a little bit of everything) Highly recommend if you're in the Kensington area. It is a laid back place just on the outside of the busy part of the area which I like a lot.

    Owners and staff act like they're such goody goody but do nothing but trash talk their customers as they leave or insult them. Don't even open on their listed times. Condescending from start to finish and act like they're the ones "trying to help". Clowns. Negative reviews have the same common themes. It's great that serving a $20 bowl of veggies works out for you, no need to condescend clients who'd rather not just receive lettuce instead of actual food. Owners and the young boy working there acted like they don't need my money simply because I had a minor issue about my order for my group. Welp, better places to spend your money at where they don't instantly treat you like a dollar sign. No matter the money you seem to flash or flaunt, it won't cure your personality as a person clearly.

    SO so good! Looked for a vegan place to eat and stumbled on this place. Wow, the portions are so generous for how much you pay and it fills you up! Everything was spiced perfectly, i am so sad that I don’t live here because i would come weekly if I could!

    First time here! I never knew about this place until today! Thank you Google for bringing it up when looking for a vegan place to take my friend who has various food allergies. The place is cute, with more seating than I anticipated! The chef was super nice and allowed us try some of the soup before we sat down. He was able to suggest some gluten free options for my friend, and we both agreed that this Caribbean vegan food was amazing! This could very well be our go-to spot when my friend comes to visit! How did I not know this place was right in my home city until now?!?! Well now I know and I'm grateful!

    What a delicious mixed plate of curried and stewed proteins and stemmed veg. A wholesome vegetarian takeout lunchbox. So much flavour, so many textures, and even better with the habanero. Definitely a hidden gem in Kensington market.

    Unassuming from the outside, inside one is treated to a warm, colourful, and happy environment. It is clear that the staff love being there, and that love transfers over to the delicious meals served there. The attention to quality fresh ingredients assures you that your money is well spent. Without asking, I was treated to a free sample that helped me make my decision - the soup of the day was amazing and had a very unique flavour profile. I can't wait to be back to try some of the other dishes offered. If you want to eat somewhere that will uplift your mood, spirit, and health, Veggie D'Light is the place to go. A great addition to the community, and I hope they continue to prosper.

    My husband and I saw this place and decided to try it. You instantly see the Chef working with fresh ingredients and it was nice that ordering came with a mixture of everything. The food was amazing!!! We're always so dissapointed that vegan food outside is either pure junk food or it tastes very commercial/unhealthy. We got the roti and a large sized meal, and amazing!!!' The first time I ate vegan food outside my own home where the food had love, flavour and tasted like it was made the moment we ordered it! Loved the colours in our meal and the curry was fantastic!!! We are so happy we found this place randomly and gave it a try!

    Was looking for Ital Vital but sadly they left Kensington. Found this wonderful gem and they did not disappoint The chef truly cooks from the heart and his love shows in his food. Thoroughly enjoyed my meal, jerk seitan was on point and my veggies were done to perfection. So delicious! Will definitely be back soon.

  • 5/5 Mrudula s. 2 months ago on Google • 62 reviews New
    I have visited this place several times and it is fantastic vegetarian wholesome food. I always get the mix bowl with everything. I tried one of their herbal drinks, it seemed really healthy but it’s not iced tea. The staff is always friendly and I love the simplicity of this place.

    This is the best vegan restaurant I have eaten in my entire life! I am totally a meat lover, but after I had the first bite, I am so mad cuz it is too delicious to stop eating. I finished the meal with anger and tears . Idk what I’m eating but it is just so good. The vegetables have a perfect balance between it original sweetness and flavor from the seasoning. The curry- like ( made with chickpeas and potatoes) stuff is absolutely packed with flavor, and it literally makes me wanna cry. When I enter the restaurant, the smell of spices indicates this will be an unusual meal. And it turns out it is. The portion is incredibly huge, even though I usually eat more than one portion of food in other restaurants, this meal totally made me satisfied. No matter if you are vegan or not, just go and try it right away please. ( super friendly service and exotic vibe )

    This is the first meal i am having on January 1st 2023 The hospitality, the energy in the room is amazing here, I ordered a large box filled with a little bit of everything! Very Good. Great way to start my year.

  • 5/5 Valerie R. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a beautiful, cozy spot to have a healthy Carribean vegtetarian meal! Includes fresh veggies, curry, potatoes, seitan and basmati rice. Delicious and filling.

    By far THE BEST VEGETARIAN FOOD in the GTA. Amazing blends of healthy proteins, carbs, and veggies. Affordable with a relaxing atmosphere. Better yet they offer catering! You have to check this place out!

  • 5/5 Lucy S. 8 months ago on Google
    Delicious Caribbean food! The staff are always super friendly and helpful, I feel so welcomed whenever I come in. My favourite is the meal with a bit of every protein, good option if it’s your first time - you get to sample everything.

  • 5/5 Alpha w. 8 months ago on Google
    So I don't usually leave reviews. But in this case, I have to give credit where credit is due. Excellent vegan food!! To the point I could eat with my eyes closed. And I don't eat nobody's food besides my own with my eyes closed. 😂 But on a serious note. The food is to die for, I can taste the love! Veggie D'Light, best part of my entire trip to Canada.❤️

  • 5/5 Connie C. 8 months ago on Google
    One of the best vegetarian meals we've ever had! Very tasty, good portion, friendly staff, relaxed environment. 100% recommended.

    Amazing food and ambience. Service is wonderful! Roti was full of flavour, even my picky kids loved it! Soup was hearty and very delicious. We will be back!!!!!

  • 5/5 irena p. 7 months ago on Google
    I love this place. Their veggie meal is so wholesome and yummy. Soups are always great as well! Wish they were open during the week because I can’t get enough.

  • 5/5 Sam Medhurst D. 6 months ago on Google
    Really good place. Healthy. Curry was a bit too salty but affordable and nice. Very wholesome meals. Home made quality.

  • 5/5 Sistah V. 6 months ago on Google
    Stopped by for a meal with a friend who is vegan. Food was delicious and the hot sauce they had was perfect! I got the small meal option so it had bits of everything. Well seasoned, and filling. Thank you for the hospitality, the energy is calm and sweet here.

  • 5/5 Francine S. 6 months ago on Google
    I visited Toronto in late September. This was my first time at Veggie D'Light. EXQUISITE!! The best food I've had in a long time. I can wait to visit again.

  • 5/5 Angel G. 2 years ago on Google
    Attractive decor, very tasty meals, good service, pleasant staff. It was my first visit and I took a friend who is in the same biznez in her country. We both gave high marks to this eatery and its staff!

  • 5/5 Rachel S. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 C Reno (. 2 years ago on Google
    Super delicious, with fresh ingredients and lots of vegan options. Gotta get the soup!

  • 5/5 Allison C. 3 years ago on Google
    Visited this spot awhile ago but I think it’s worthy of a 5 star review! They’ve got AMAZING vegan options for this little hidden Caribbean spot. The food was filling and delicious, and very fair priced! A great spot to have a plant based meal.

  • 5/5 Maxine H. 2 years ago on Google
    Love this cozy jamaican ital/vegan cuisine. Roti with Jerk Seitan and Curry Supreme is my fav. Love this and would recommend 100%

  • 5/5 Vijay B. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best places I've eaten at over the last 12 months in Toronto. Easy! Great food, great vibe. Fantastic location and the service is second to none. Very picky, hard to please. Expect too much. Some of the quotes to understand how picky I can be. Vegans heaven! Organic, Non GMO & GF. Taste in every bite. Couldn't eat any more so I'll be back!

  • 5/5 Norah G. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best meals I've ever had in Toronto - and absolutely the best Carribean food I've had anywhere! The seitan and curry are SO good, and the small is enough for 2 meals if you're not super hungry. I got the meal but instead of rice I got the roti skin on the side (ask for a roti unwrapped) and it was delicious. The pic isn't so good but my god... I'd move back to Toronto for food like this! Great spot, place to eat outside and the inside is lovely too. Thank you so much!!!

  • 5/5 Vee M. 3 years ago on Google
    The food here is so good, my only regret is that I don't get enough when I take out. However, the box they serve it in is always the perfect size to fill you!! My other regret is that they are not open on Monday and Tuesday. I often have a craving on those days. It's good to learn patience, though, right? The ingredients are fresh and seasonal, cooked to perfection. The flavours are exquisite and demonstrate the true care that's put into this home-cooked meal. The service is kind, quick and efficient in a lunchtime rush. If you've never tried vegan, this is a perfect plant-based start. Highly recommend - easily the best cooked vegan food in the Market!!

  • 1/5 Maria M. 2 years ago on Google
    I’ve noticed in recent times that the price has gone up and the portions are getting smaller/stingy. So much so that the last time I went there, I basically got a dish of steamed cabbage with the curry as a side condiment - like 3 tablespoons or so. And a few pieces of inedible hard dried plantains. So I went back and pointed it out and showed my large “meal” The girl behind the counter added another tbsp of curry and sarcastically said she’s glad I enjoyed it. Actually, no I didn’t enjoy paying $17 for flavourless shredded cabbage and a few tablespoons of curry. I ended up throwing it out… who wants to eat cabbage as a “meal” especially when it’s been served with attitude. Maybe if they had accurately labelled it as a steamed cabbage bowl with curry as a condiment (instead of protein meal topped with veggies) I wouldn’t have paid and wasted money for it and this issue would not have occurred.

  • 5/5 Emily V. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is no joke. I came in with low expectations and left blown away. Soup was PHENOMENAL. highly recommend the roti. They have this amazing in house spicy sauce. Ended up buying a jar for home. Every single thing they make is tasty as hell. Can’t wait to go back. Please don’t think twice about checking these guys out. 100/10

  • 5/5 Evelyn O. 2 years ago on Google
    The deliciousness hits you before you even walk in the door. The aroma permeates along Baldwin and it is one of the best parts of living in Kensington. Hands-down best roti in the city. Their colourful chopped hot sauce packs a serious punch. While I haven't visited in a minute since their new hours are a little difficult for me to make it in, I always recommend this spot to my vegetarian and vegan friends.They also paint a lovely sidewalk mural every year, a nice touch for artists and art lovers alike.

  • 5/5 M. 1 year ago on Google
    The food here is absolutely lovely and flavourful and made with such care! Whether you're getting the Meal or the Roti (the dhalpuri shell is delicious!), definitely try the Everything Please option for protein, which comes with all three of the Jerk Seitan, Curry Supreme, and Moringa Loaf—you just can't choose one! The brown rice and steamed vegetables are so well seasoned—not a mediocre bite was had! Even though we got takeout and had to walk a ways back, the food keep its integrity due to being freshly made. Love this place and their commitment to a vegan, organic, wholesome food philosophy.

  • 5/5 Paul R. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing food and I'm not even vegan. 10/10, will definitely be back. The vibe is so positive in here. I can see how this place is rated so highly.

  • 5/5 Simon L. 1 year ago on Google
    Two picky eaters give four thumbs up for this supreme vegan roti filled with goodness. I was sent back to get another one! My wife is a cook and she thought the soup was amazing!

  • 5/5 Danielle B. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow! I didn't expect to be blown away by this joint! I've had too many disappointing vegan dishes and gotten used to making my own, I almost didn’t go in. I decided to eat here and I was pleasantly surprised. This place is the best Vegan joint I’ve ever been to in all of Canada. - hospitality Mackenzie was an amazing host. Good vibe! - the food was fire! Very delectable to my palate! A lovely blend of Caribbean flavours and amazing texture. Great variety as well. - the atmosphere was so relaxing after a long day. Filled with plants and nice music that took me back to the Caribbean. You've earned a forever customer.

  • 5/5 tasha2s 1 year ago on Google
    I ordered the large meal with their protein variety, and a small soup on the side. This is the best meal I've had in a very long time and it just so happens to be organic & vegan with gluten free options! The food was so fresh and handled with care - it tastes like you're being welcomed into their home. I got to personally thank Peter for my meal and he is such a lovely human. If you're around Kensington on the weekend, you must check them out. 10/10 highly recommend. *Note: location has a street level indoor sitting area with bar-height tables and chairs. To order your meal, you go down to the lower level by a set of wide stairs with railings. There are 2 tables on the lower level with bench-style seating on both sides of the stairs.*

  • 5/5 Daedreen P. 1 year ago on Google
    Tried this lovely caribbean vegan spot recently. Everything was delicious from the soup, roti to the full meals. Definitely going back to try their pizza seeing as everything else that I tasted was delicious and fresh. The customer service was just as exceptional as the food. Strong recommendation to try this lovely spot.

  • 5/5 J N. 1 year ago on Google
    I've been wanting to eat at Veggie D'light for sooo long as I've heard many good things :) I ordered through UberEats and you can tell how much care they put in just through the way they packaged the food to prevent any spills! I got a large meal with a bit of each dish but what stood out the most was the jerk seitan, it was AMAZING. The soup was also very tasty. This is top tier comfort food!!

  • 5/5 Stephanie R. 1 year ago on Google
    YOU HAVE TO EAT HERE! Every single thing on this menu bangs, everyone is super friendly and helpful, and we can't stop coming back again and again when we're in the neighbourhood. Definitely a great place to grab a delicious vegan bite! Thank you ❤️

    I had to give 5 stars across the board because this place is a golden mine in vegan food. The ambience, the customer service, the food was phenomenal. I highly recommend this place to everyone. Hands down, you will not be disappointed! I'll definitely be back and I'll see you there.

    They have beat chickpeas curry in the city. I’m not big fan of any peas but this curry is exceptional. I can eat it everyday!!
