    Wow! Such an amazing vegan restaurant- a gem in the heart of downtown Oakville! You can come here with your family, on a date, or solo as the seating options are great! (Even a meat lover in your family would enjoy this menu because the food is a treat to the taste buds). The texture, taste and quality of ingredients appeal to all palettes! The staff was amazing (thanks Mohammad) he crafted each meal so thoughtfully with love and care for the versatility of ingredients! Every bite was so flavourful! For drinks we had the turmeric latte and black tea with mint and they were very well crafted. My favourite meal was the “Egypts most Fungi” and the “baked Caluipower” (the names of the dishes are so witty) These meals are well portioned and can be enjoyed at any part of the day. I will be back!

    What a great, unique, and much needed restaurant for vegetarians. What can I say, I tried the Shawarma, Butter chickun, cauliflower wings, groundless beef pizza, and they were all fantastic. I dare you to find another restaurant in a 100km radius with the same menu offering and middle eastern taste while being completely plant based.

    A lovely plant based restaurant with flavourful food. I ordered the halloumi sandwich (which is vegan btw, not test halloumi) and the mama shawarma plate. The halloumi sandwich was made on crusty bread and very delicious. The halloumi style tofu was very flavourful and reminded me exactly of halloumi cheese. I also highly recommend ordering any of their plates, specifically the mama shawarma plate. The soy curls were perfectly seasoned and the vegan style feta cheese was delicious on the salad. Google says they don't have dine in but it is currently available.

    Yummy, fresh and healthy! Visited this little gem in downtown Oakville…the host is a very nice man and he makes very tasty food! I must say the vegan shawarma I tried felt better than the real chicken shawarma…everything was so flavourful!

    The vegan halloumi was insane! I also had the butter chickpeas and the Egyptian lemonade. Didn't take any pictures cause I ate too fast but I would definitely recommend stopping here for some super tasty and quick vegan food!!

    A cute little gem in Oakville. We had the buffalo cauliflower and “chickun” shawarma and it was the best vegan shawarma ever. Everyone in this place is super friendly and cool! Love it

    Accurate rating: 6/9. Got 3 sandwiches: Baba's (beef shawarma): 3/3 for a vegan sandwich. It doesn't look so appealing but tastes pretty good for a vegan sandwich. The spices are spot on. Would get it again. Mama's (chicken shawarma): 2/3. Not bad. Looks appealing, but tastes alright. Would maybe get it again. Kofta: 1/3. My least favorite. As per the images attached, you unwrap the sandwich and you find no traces of meat. You take another bite, and still nothing there. You find them all packed at the bottom, wasn't too great, it tasted like uncooked meat burger. They're not very filling though, you'll need at least 2 sandwiches to feel your stomach is alright.

    I was a bit skeptical of our trip to the Oakville area as to what quality of vegan cuisine we would be able to find. Luckily I have a special lady friend who is also pretty killer at finding decent locations to eat and she brought me here. This is a very cozy but elegant cafe style restaurant. Orders are placed at the counter and then brought to you. While small there is definitely attention to detail in the decor (I just love the table patterns). My recommendation is to scope out the menu before you go but in all honesty you likely can not go wrong with any of your orders. Plus the staff were super friendly and knowledgeable about the meals. With meals that leave you full and prices that won't break the bank if you happen to find yourself in Oakville (or live there) and want some great vegan dishes this is definitely a must visit.

    Absolutely love it! We tried their signature dishes: mama's shawarma plate and streets of Cairo kofta kabab, both are excellent, definitely coming back to try other dishes.

    This is not a takeout, but my lasagna that I ordered to eat at a restaurant. Lasagna was one of the manu they recommend but cheese and pasta is the only thing in the lasagna. I think they don't know what lasanga is. Thanks for giving me a poor experience.

    Can't say enough good things about this place. Service: So friendly!!!!! We were welcomed in like family. So accommodating to whatever we asked or requested. Food: Fresh, delicious, flavourful, yum yum yum! My fiance and I are vegan and we loved everything! Our friends eat meat, and the tried the Mama Shawarma....they could not believe how good it was! Said they wouldn't be able to tell it was vegan, but even if they could they didn't care, it was delicious! Thanks again y'all

    Delicious vegan middle eastern food! I had the haloumi wrap and it was really tasty, close to the real thing. The hummus and babaganoush platter are also delicious. Definitely recommend!

  • 5/5 Jade N. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is an absolute gem! The food was delicious. The turkish coffee with cardamom was so yummy that me and my girlfriend ordered another round. Not only was the food so tasty, the service was extraordinary. Ahmed was kind, genuine, and so helpful. I am a super indecisive eater and he explained all the different options I could have with such patience and grace. I really appreciate how welcomed I felt here. I will be back again and again.

    Everything was delicious, it was our first time and we'll definitely be coming again! The service is excellent.

    The best vegan Egyptian food we have ever tasted. We took my sister for her birthday to this restaurant because she is vegan, and even she was impressed by the rich flavors of the dishes. When I mentioned to Teefa (the manager of the restaurant) that it was my sister's birthday, he bent over backwards to make sure that it was a memorable event for us. He customized the menu for us and even gave us some dessert on the house. If you are vegan, you have to go to Dar Nabati.

    Flavorful, filling and healthy! Stopped in today for the first time when in the area, and glad we did! Really enjoyed a thirst quenching mint lemonade, and Egypt's Most Fungi 😊, while my husband was equally impressed with the Mama's Shawarma, and Egyptian Lemonade! We'll be back - thank you! 🙏

    WOW! This is the best Vegan restaurant I have been to. The owner was so amazing. The food is also very delicious and has lots of flavours. I would highly recommend this restaurant. The mama's shawarma plate and streets of Cairo kofta were delicious. The owner prepared a spread of food for us to try.

    The Kofta was very good and I was extremely satisfied with my meal. The pricing is appropriate and I would highly recommend. I don't eat vegan every day and this is a very nice alternative for days I feel like eating plant based. I came back for a second time today and the experience was also fantastic. Very friendly staff that even helped us navigate the area and find some other restaurant spots we were considering. Highly recommend.
