They make healthy food in both locations North N and South N, they have a slightly different menu, both great food, dine in as well as easy take outs.

Tried some jalapeño hummus from the other location that a friend had bought, I was visiting from calgary. Immediately had to rush to the other location on my last day before close as it was closer and because I wanted to bring some home. Got the Chipotle/lemon, and the lemon/cilantro. Neither has any flavor, they just taste like regular hummus. The service was great though, lovely ladies working the place. Unfortunate!

Stopped by for lunch and discovered a pleasant surprise in the heart of Nanaimo. This small restaurant offers outdoor seating and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, thanks to the friendly and cheerful staff. I tried the Californian Wrap, which had a nice, fresh flavor and a simple presentation. I paired it with a refreshing blackberry soda. It’s a charming spot, and I’m eager to explore more of the menu on future visits.

I started eating here when I was 3 years old. Chicken Nino was my go to! Now as an adult I always get the chicken roll up mild and let me tell you it's absolute perfection! Food is always so fresh and so delicious. I crave it all the time!!! 10/10

Oh my goodness what a find! I only wish they were closer to my house. The food here is wonderful so full of fresh vegetables, homemade ingredients, and care. The staff was super friendly and pleasant. You get to choose from a selection of fresh salads. The sauces are impeccable. The atmosphere is kitchy and homey feeling. You can grab your own mug and water. The to go container for your leftovers is a paper plate and tin foil which is compostable, recyclable, and feels like your at a friend's place taking home leftovers. A must check out place!

I’ve heard great things but finally just made it to this hidden treat in the Old Quarter section of downtown Nanaimo. I love a hearty and healthy meal and as a vegetarian I was extremely spoiled by both the flavour and the size of the Veggie Burrito. The location is great, wonderful outside patio and the inside decor is simple and enjoyable. I noticed there is a bit of an ethnic grocery store mixed inside as well. I will be back to explore more of the menu next time.

The California wrap with medium+ heat is a near perfect 10! What would make it a 10? Panini Grill it before bringing to customer. That little crunch would just be the perfect 10 I d recommend. Flavourful, fresh, vibe is great on the outdoor patio. Great service.

Absolutely lovely little restaurant. My husband and I managed to come in before a rush and sat at the counter by the window, and it was very relaxing to have a healthy lunch while looking over part of the lower city. As for food, the mild spice level truly is perfect for those who dont like spice. Im definitely going to be more adventurous the next time I come by, and try the medium - level. I look forward to trying more of the menu!

I grew up in Nanaimo and Delicado s was always my favourite. 10+ years later and every time I come back it s my first stop. It s still just as good and I get the same thing every time (veggie wrap + southwest rice salad). I love it, it s delicious, filling, and feels nourishing. It s not often I would be so happy with a place that never changes, but this is most definitely an exception. Why mess with perfection?

December 22, 2022

Confusing prices. Their website prices are different from their take-out menu (paper copy) and both are different from their eat-in prices. Its a little shady that only their eat-in prices are correct, showing the marked increase in cost. You place your on-line order, only to find out that its way more expensive than you thought when you get to the till to pay. Staff members seem nice and the food is decent but its sooo expensive for what you get.

Ive been eating here since 2002 but this place has unfortunately gone downhill. Yesterday I ordered a salad plate to go and all three were tasteless. I was not enjoying it so I decided to mix in some of the garlic dill hummus Id bought there, which also turned out to be tasteless. Not a hint of any flavors and the plate portions were skimpy. Def not worth the 24 I spent. I discussed it with my friend and asked her to taste the foods and she shared her save-on-foods salad with me which was delicious. Sadly, I wont be returning.
