😠 I wish I could rate this place zero stars. This place is a disaster. First, I walked in there and overhear the workers giving me derogatory comments (based on my light complexion, even though I'm not even from European descents, but that's besides the point). I just came to pick up some veggie soup... People often mention vegan, great, delicious, healthy,

    I wish I could rate this place zero stars. This place is a disaster. First, I walked in there and overhear the workers giving me derogatory comments (based on my light complexion, even though I'm not even from European descents, but that's besides the point). I just came to pick up some veggie soup I ordered. They literally threw my soup in a container and put it in a paper bag. As soon as I walked outside the restaurant the paper bag became soggy and the soup container ripped out of the bag and spilled all over the floor and on my pants. I was soooooo uncomfortable with the yelling and comments that they were making, that I didn't even feel comfortable going back and asking for my money back. Never ever go here. Absolute waste of time and money and an overall headache. Note to future customers: If you are white, or white-passing, good luck trying to get food from here. They clearly have resentment towards all light-skinned people, to the point where they will even make customers uncomfortable for no reason and lose business over it.

    I’m extremely disgusted with the service of this place. I used to come here for some time but after stopping by today I won’t be going back. I ordered a meal where I asked for everything on the plate and a porridge, and I was told that the total was $15. My girlfriend then placed her order on top of mine which was a meal and two no name waters and the total suddenly went up to $41 and change. Not to mention he gave her everything in her box and placed a few options in mine. There was an noticeable difference. & Mind you, she has never been here before. I don’t know if it’s because he saw me pull money out from the atm in the store or maybe there was some homophobia being displayed but once I reached home I was trying to make sense of why the total came up to $41 and change. That’s an additional $26 for less than I purchased originally. It’s really sad and pathetic that you rob and steal from your own people just to get an extra coin to take home and display yourself to be God fearing! I don’t recommend this place. There are other restaurants that aren’t conniving and will be honest with their prices. The foods not even that great. It’s pretty basic. I recommend V’s Vegan for anyone looking for quality Jamaican vegan cooking! If I could give this place 0 stars I would.

    You can tell this is a soulful spot in the community. Excellent, unassuming ital veggie takeout. Ordered the combo received a delightful, flavourful mix of dishes over rice and peas. Note it's cash only, atm on site. Thanks for the warm welcome and great eats!

    Felt like a wonderful home made meal. Warm, hearty vegan platter which was great value! Not to mention delicious. The owner was a sweet and gentle man, felt like he was truly concerned with our well being. One note is to move away from styrofoam but otherwise just amazing! Highly recommend as this is one of the best vegan places I've been to!

    Best Vegan place in the World. Being born and raised vegetarian then going vegan this place has all you need to keep you strong and healthy. The food is AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS 😋

    This place is awesome if your a vegetarian especially one who likes the Caribbean touch , this is the place for you. This review would of been a 5 star but they don’t have a debit / credit machine instead there is a ATM that charges a $3 charge. It would be awesome if they added this option especially because cash is a bit inconvenient at moments when your on the go to and from work in Toronto & you just want to pull over to the side of the road run in and get a delicious meal. Also one thing I must say is the Rastafarian owner is absolutely full of vibes. Biggup Irie Veggie.

    It’s hard finding a vegan Caribbean restaurant, so when I was up on Eglington looking for lunch and found this place I got excited. The food itself is delicious! And the portions are insane!

    The name says it all, Irie Veggie Takeout, a great and happy place to grab your take out ital vegan Jamaican food. Located in the heart of Eglinton Ave. W, they have a wide variety of dishes. They tend to go with the flow, you might go in one day and they have certain options, the another day it's different. I enjoy the randomness in my food it makes things more interesting. They have these buns with nutmeg in them which they wrap in foil, and those are just awesome, probably not good to have too many because of the carbs, but the taste is real Jamaican style. Much appreciate their food, it's good vibes there. Nuff respect, bless up.
