We create healthy vegan takeout food!
Excellent healthy food prepared by the lovely, chatty owner Karen :) I will come back when I'm back in town. Much appreciated
Popped in today for lunch, and upon entering was greeted by Karen whom suggested to try a delicious lentil/tomato soup, perfect flavour and the taste was unbelievable. Definitely worth the drive from wherever you are. All of her dishes have been bang on. Real home made dishes. Frozen packs are great for a quick thaw and heat and eat. Check it out on instagram for more info.
Finally a local vegan spot🙌 and it does not disappoint! The food is cooked from scratch and absolutely delicious!! I had the trio combo of Thai curry, slaw and "cheesecake" and it was amazing. The owner is super sweet and takes her time explaining everything and is super nice! Can't wait to go back to try everything else:)
I’m obsessed with this place. Karen is a joy to talk to and so passionate about making delicious, healthy, affordable food that you can grab on the go to avoid resorting to fast food. Food that is actually healthy. I got the grain salad and curry and it was amazing. The dessert was awesome too. I love going to places where you feel great after you eat and this is definitely my new go-to. If you’re looking for quick healthy vegan eats this is the place to go!
I'm trying to eat better, and Good Grains came up as a local healthy option. I had driven by a million times without noticing them before, so thank you, Google, I guess? The owner came out from the back, where she was hard at work cooking up some fresh meals, to great me. She explained all the different options, and I chose Thai Medley and a side of Fiesta Quinoa. Both were delicious and came with a little snack as well. I will be back to try some of the other options and pick up some of the frozen meals to keep in stock at home.
Visited Good Grains today for the first time. Owner/operator Karen is friendly and welcoming, cooks everything available for purchase, and can any questions you may have. My wife and I took home the Harvest Stew and Golden Curry entrees for our lunches, along with a Creamy Mixed Vegetable Soup (jar), Chipotle Sweet Potato Bisque (frozen flat pack), and an Asian Magic Sauce for use in our own cooking. This is good food the way it should be cooked. I enjoyed the Harvest Stew while my wife had the Golden Curry, telling me a number of times, "this is soooo good!". I laughed when she said she was happy I'm not a curry fan because she didn't want to share! If you are looking for a place where you can get healthy and good tasting food, I recommend you check out Good Grains. And the convenience of frozen flat packs, brilliant!
Good grains doesn't look like much from the street and can be easily missed when driving on Dundas but both Karen the owner and the food she prepares are exceptional. Karen is pleasant and great to chat with. Her nutritious plant based food is flavourful and hearty. Really appreciate the prepared sauces and frozen items to take home. Strongly recommend the delicious Golden Curry and Magic Sauce on noodles.
Stumbled upon this place when my mother-in-law, my fiancée and I were out for a walk. The food was great and the owner was super friendly and helpful. We had the quinoa with salad and a treat and the thai medley. So yummy and filling! It gave that good feeling you get after having a nutritious and healthy lunch. Will definitely come back when we're in the area.
Perfect vegan cuisine - Hearty whole foods & excellent service!!!
Great food! I ordered the Trio 2Go and enjoyed everything the kind lady prepared very quickly. You should give it a try if you appreciate healthy and tasty food!
Delicious, nourishing fresh food, friendly owner, very good vibes overall. I had their combo plate and everything was really good.
Amazing, delicious and healthy food options. Wish I could eat this every day!
Friendly staff and tasty food.
Whenever I m in Dundas I m always sure to grab some warm cozy food from Karen. She uses fresh quality, healthy vegan ingredients which makes for a guilt free delicious meal Vegetarian options: All vegan
With today being international womens day, I thought what better time to recognize a female owned business who is 5 star in every category possible! First visit was today, place was spotless clean, meals were packaged exceptionally well, a huge variety to choose from, plant based with no oil for majority of the menu, and the tipping point of making this place exceptional is the owner! Karen greeted me with a smile, had my order ready, provided a ton of tips and suggestions, and even walked the items to my car. Thanks to Good Grains my meal planning is going to be so much easier to stick with now that I dont have to shop or cook!! I highly recommend Good Grains, in a world of processed fatty foods, this place is refreshing for the soul and good for it as well! Such a pleasure meeting Karen and I look forward to more trips here and incorporating Good Grains into my meal routine and health improvement. Keep doing what you are doing Karen, we need more places like this and more owners like you!!
My son is a vegan and came to visit so here I am stacking up on food for him. The owner was excellent. She walked me through a plethora of options along with sampling them. As Arnold once said Ill be back This time just for me.
Vegetarian options: Vegan delicious
Love this place! Very tasty, healthy food. Brilliant idea to freeze soups and stews in bags to save space in your own freezer and preserve the fresh taste. Very good to start the year with healthy food.
Brought a friend here for lunch and was told there was no hot table because the owner was away. Bad first impression on a new customer who drove 15 minutes to get there.
If I could give 6 stars I would. Spend 5 minutes there and you will see that the owner is very passionate about cooking home made and healthy dishes that are made with care. Shes very clear about the allergens in her dishes, which makes this a great place to eat if you want to be certain about what goes into each dish, whether it be for a preference or an allergy. And the food is delicious, which of course is a nice plus :) This place is a gem, not every restaurant has a personal touch like this, so if you can make time to visit then you will find it well worth it.
Curried Butternut Squash Bisque was super delicious and filing. I was so glad to find a vegan restaurant in GTA having such unique plant-based dishes. The chef was really warm and kind too! :) Really happy with the service!
Best vegan place for different healthy soups and meals. The owner of the place is so warm and welcoming. Highly recommend.
Love this place! Very tasty, healthy food.
This place is hands down one of the BEST I have come across for healthy, plant-based meals. I have been struggling to eat while adjusting to university dorm life and this restaurant has been a life saver. The owner is also worthy of a 10 star rating. She is so accommodating and really cares about her customers. I walked away with a near 2-week supply of freezer pack meals and their vegan cheese sauce. Every single item has been delicious. For anyone looking for tasty, hassle-free healthy food that doesnt have the time, space, or ability to meal prep make sure you go here. Their freezer pack meals are so convenient and the owner also made a quinoa salad for me from scratch while I was shopping the freezer.
This was my first experience in vegan dining. The food was amazing. I had coleslaw and quinoa salad and it was delicious. It was so good, I ordered a take out trio which consisted of golden curry, coleslaw and a treat for dessert. I also brought home golden curry that was frozen and tomato/vegetable soup to have later. Karen the owner/chef/server made the experience even better. She is truly talented in what she does. I am definitely a repeat customer.
That was really good. We both had the trio sets, mine was quinoa and her s was the regal stew- both with a peanut butter vegan ice cream. The portions were perfect, and the taste was flavourful from the first bite to last. I feel happy and not bloated. See picture, no food to show because we ate it all. Nice to meet you Karen, great job!
Amazing food. Im not even vegan, but would go out of my way to come back.
really relaxed place, owner is amazing and very accommodating.
When you walk in you smell the amazing aroma of delicious chili and soups etc! Its super clean, and the food is really good! Recommend!!! Food : 5/5
Delicious homemade plant-based comfort foods! The owner is lovely. The food is SO good! The only downside is the wait (if youre not the first customer in, you can wait quite some time to be served) but I can assure you, its worth every minute.
Thai Medley is fantastic, full of flavour and very filling. Picked up some of the frozen selection and it tastes just as good as the fresh selection. Highly recommend.
Went here a few days ago with a friend. He really enjoyed it and said the food and prices were really good. Owner was very friendly and she gave us a warm welcome and some back ground insight on her life and her business!
Really great experience. The restaurant is squeaky clean an very neat. Was great talking to the owner prior to placing the order, as she provided details on the ingredients and ordering food for a party. The food was ready for pickup, absolutely delicious and delightful. Very good customer experience. My friends loved the entrees. Thank you so much!!!
Such a cozy, quaint restaurant. We stopped between flights because my daughter has a dairy allergy and we know vegan is safe. We do not regret that decision one bit. The curry and treats were amazing. If we lived in the area, we would be regulars.
It has been over a week since we visited while traveling, and we have talked about the curry at least ten times with friends and family. Definitely left a lasting memory.
Such a great place to pick up healthy meals! I bought a few frozen entrées for friends of mine who just had a baby, and they loved them. I also picked up the Asian Magic Sauce for myself and it s been so perfect for stir fry.
The food here is wonderful, I tried the Thai peanut dish. The owner is very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend!!
Home Made Quality, Wholesome Good for You and Tastes Great. I plan ahead and bring it home for a healthy dinner... as closing at 6pm makes it tight. You can tell the owner does each meal with a passion for quality food.
Wonderful home cooked vegan, gluten-free, healthy, TASTY food! They are very sensitive to special needs and requests. Great service, extremely helpful and friendly. Our go-to vegan neighborhood restaurant.
I found this place from a Google healthy restaurant search, it was close to where I was at that time. When I got there the owner (I believe) said there was a power outage and wasnt able to prepare all menu items. Which is totally understandable. I asked if the stew was ready and she said it may need a few more minutes. I said I was happy to wait. She proceeded to serve me the stew after a few minutes. It was definitely not ready. I would have appreciated if she asked me to wait longer or say unfortunately I cant serve you the stew at this time. Honesty comes a long way. Instead I got stuck with a soup that was not fully cooked. Edit: I did write the review in the restaurant. After I wrote it, she did check up on me and apologize. She seems like a really friendly restaurant owner and I do hope this was a one off situation.
This is the best place to eat! Healthy, tasty and service is the best! Karen is awesome and I recommend everyone to check out the restaurant!
All I can say is yum yum yum! Entire menu is worth trying and Karen is the absolute friendliest! Super clean! Must try!
This restaurant is definitely worth going to . Food is delicious, staff is kind and cleanliness is on point! Fair pricing and great if you are trying to keep healthy:)
Food was delicious and the owner incredibly friendly.
The food was wonderful, owner was very helpful with explaining the menu and super friendly. She takes a lot of pride! I am glad I tried this restaurant. So wonderful to have many gluten free options.
I ordered the Thai medley. It was absolutely delicious. I also purchased some freezer soups and curries and Thai sauce. Looking forward to trying these out too! I will be back again and again!
Amazing fresh heathy stuff!!
Tasty and healthy food prepared and served by a passionate lady ! Loved the pumpkin seed britle.
So happy to come home last night after work and be able to pull a Regal Stew flat pack from the freezer...add a little rice and everyone enjoys a warm, comforting and nourishing supper. Thanks Good Grains! Well be in to restock soon :)
The lady is such a bright beautiful spirt there. The food is AMAZING... and did I mean ruin HEALTHY. Vegan options! Best place. I recommend.
This is one of the best vegan restaurants I have ever tried in the GTA. I placed my order by phone for curbside pickup and everything was ready when I arrived. Every one in the family liked the taste and the flavors. Every dish was full of fresh ingredients and packed with nutritions. I will definitely order from good grains every time Im in the area. I highly recommend this place for healthy and vegan food.
Order the trio order for $10, I got the Thai main, tabouli salad and ice cream. A very yummy!!! I would definitely purchase the frozen mains to have later on in the week
Karen, the owner, was so kind when helping me place a catering order. She took the time to explain the different dishes to me, was so friendly, and made amazing food for the folks on our crew. Still dreaming about the pumpkin seed brittle. Cannot recommend this place enough!
Best healthy plant base food.
That coconut ice cream was a solid 10.
Incredible Food, Exceptionally Friendly Service Every Single Time
Omg YUM! I finally tried this place after wanting to for awhile and it was so delicious the owner is very sweet and took the time to explain the different dishes that were available. I got the thai main and it was so freaking good, with the perfect amount of spice/ heat. I also really like that they cater and have frozen meals that you can purchase as well. This was my first time but definitely wont be my last. Amazing.
Delicious food and had a lovely chat with the owner
Healthy vegan food good staff
Delicious!
Karen and all her soups are amazing! I highly recommend 2 of each.
My new favorite takeout vegetarian restaurant! Sparkling clean, super friendly, delicious food, great price. Checks all the boxes.
Good price good food
If your New Years Resolution was to get more healthy, look no further. Good Grains is a takeout restaurant with a quick serve concept that makes all their delicious plant based food in house. What I love about this place is that it uses no faux meat, which is so refreshing to see amongst all these new trends! Everything is completely used with fresh ingredients and local where they can. They have variety of beautiful unique salads and soups. It can be used as a side or as a main dish. There was obviously alot of thought put into these vegan recipes of the salads, which you can find on the website.
Great tasting plant based foods and desserts. Also sell essentials oils, soaps and shampoo. Quick and convenient!
I don t often do reviews but this place definitely warrants one! First off the hospitality was amazing. The very nice lady welcomed me and introduced me to her many healthy sounding dishes. Honestly can t explain how nice and caring she was. And now for the food: I got a trio of the Thai Medley, Slaw and chocolate/peanut butter ice cream. What surprised me the most was how good all three dishes were. She is not only focused on the mains, but the slaw and vegan ice cream were just amazing!! The Thai Medley was soooo good and filling! The slaw had a light seasoning that was just perfect. And after all that, the vegan ice cream was very tasty, definitely did not expect vegan ice cream to be that good! Easily deserves 5 stars, will be back!!!
This is honestly the best plant-based experience eye have ever had in the GTA!!! From the moment we walked into this gem, we were greeted and warmed with care. Karen gave us a quick rundown of the whole menu and gave us time to decide what we d like. She kindly offered us a mix of the main dishes as it was our first time there, and had some great conversation with us throughout our meal. The food was *absolutely soul-filling*. Compared to so many other vegan spots, this place trumps them all simply because the food Karen prepares is a reflection of real, healthy, TASTY, unprocessed plant-based whole foods that make you feel lighter and brighter instead of heavy and tired. The food, the service, the energy of the place, and the genuine kindness of Karen makes Good Grains our favourite vegan restaurant to-date. So glad we stumbled across it!!! Thank you again Karen
PHENOMENAL!!! Absolutely delicious food! Will definitely be recommending Good Grains to all my family and friends. 10 stars not 5!
Perfect combination of tasty and healthy food; the owner is so friendly... best service... coming again sure... must try healthy eaters...
Great meal
Gluten free vegan food that tastes really good :) Got two combos with desert. Reasonable prices too.
The food is soooo tasty, healthy and delicious. The owner is very lovely and do all the possible to give you a good moment. You must go!!
Incredible selection of healthy meals to go in hot,cold and frozen formats. The owner is an absolutely lovely lady who loves to serve up the best in plant based eating
After 40+ years, I tried vegan for my first time at Good Grains and was impressed of the taste and edible factor. As an individual who loves his meats, dairy, and all of the other delicious gluttony that would give most vegans/vegetarians a heart attack; I actually enjoyed eating the food. In fact, I tried 7 different things: Coco lentil soup, golden curry, harvest stew, regal stew, thai medley, two types of salads, and a peanut butter-chocolate ice cream. FTR, the ice cream is killer. Needless to say, my particular palate was surprisingly satisfied, as the food overall exceeded my preconceived opinion. Lastly, all of the food was cooked before my eyes. Well done, Karen.
All I can say everything is so good and healthy! Every time I go I see more and ppl .. its a popular place now. The owner is very friendly for helping decide what you should try. Top notch place! I definitely recomend
Really great place, delicious food, nice lady
Great vegan eats, drop in no reservation required. The food is delicious!
I met a friend for lunch here on April 19. We received a warm welcome from the owner. She was very helpful in addressing my food allergies and explained the ingredients well. We made our selections and enjoyed an absolutely fantastic lunch. The coconut lentil soup was amazing. They offer great takeout options including prepared meals that would be ideal for easy entertaining. Will definitely return!
The food was cooked fresh and it was absolutely delicious. The owner was so pleasant and explained everything about her fresh dishes. Amazing plant based options!! Highly recommend trying!!
We just enjoyed a super healthy all vegan dinner, the owner is very friendly and welcoming. Well be visiting again for sure.
A friend told me about this place about a year ago when e we were talking about vegan restaurants. I ve been meaning to come for the longest time. And I m so happy I finally did. The second I walked in I was greeted by Karen, the owner and mastermind behind the vegan culinary brilliance. She was energetic and kind and immediately introduced me to her creations coconut curry and Veggie purée soups du jour, mild golden curry (pictured, half eaten), medium spice peanut curry, and squash red lentil stew. She also detailed her salads and hand made treats, including vegan ice cream for the hotter weather. The curry was delicious with exactly the perfect blend of texture and taste. The tabuleh (picture) a lovely mild flavour to compliment the main dish. And the died fruit date ball treat in still on my to-do list but I m impatiently eager to demolish it. I also grabbed some dark maple brittle for friends. The price is very modest for the quantity and quality you re getting. I will be back! See you soon Karen!
Delicious, healthy food. The owner is so kind and knowledgable. I had the Thai medley and it was really good. Will be back :).
I have ordered from this spot a few times now and they never disappoint! I ordered on Skip the dishes and one of my options was out of stock. The owner personally called me and suggested another salad that was just as delicious. She was very helpful and the salad was everything she promised. Second time around, i was ordering for a corporate lunch. Before putting my order though online i called for some guidance on suggested sizes and options. Again, they were all to willing to help me. Thank you Good Grains for great food, but above everything else, great service. I will definitely be ordering from you again.
Excellent food and service!!
Very reasonable prices, limited but fresh and super healthy food options and a haven for vegan and gluten free folks! The chocolate and peanut butter home made non-dairy dessert included in the meal deal was a bonus!! If only I had more time to have another one and get a portion of the soup too. Will certainly be visiting again when I am in town. Thank you for the awesome hospitality and service!!
Delicious, healthy vegan and reasonably priced. Superb service!
Amazing veggie friendly place. I shall be returning on a very regular basis
The owner was so welcoming and nice! She had us taste the soups and stews before we chose. Everything was fresh and delicious... including the surprising frozen desserts. And all was truly healthy. A heaven for vegans!
Delicious and healthy dishes that are made with love... thats the feeling I get when I eat here. Love all of the flavours, ingredients and variety.
Tasty soups, salads and wraps, all homemade, in a warm and welcoming environment. They offer takeaway so you can eat well at home when you dont have time or energy to cook for yourself. Ill be back!
Super healthy and super tasty choices. Great value!
Hearty vegan food with good portions and friendly service
Love the healthy food choices and it tastes awesome.
Incredibly healthy and full of flavour!!! Hearty, whole plant-based foods for every palette! The ONLY thing I would add would be maybe a fountain for reusable water bottles, or at least have a small drink along with the combo! Having some kind of free beverage option with a combo is always a cherry on top for me :) But great service and she knew EVERY ingredient in her meals-- love the passion!!
Great food.....fresh healthy. Friendly service. Delicious
Good Grains is a fantastic spot with plenty of hearty, healthy options! A great place for lunch, or to grab dinner on the way home! Veg and Gluten Free frozen entrées and homemade soups, theres something for everyone!
This place is so good and the owner is so sweet and walks you through all the dishes she has. Definitely recommend
Lovely little spot, love that you can peek into the kitchen and see all the colourful, fresh veggies and ingredients laid out for prep. Hearty, healthy food!! Super helpful and enthusiastic owner too.
