Exceptional service with the kindest, most attentive staff! I ordered a mix of everything for $15, and it was hands down the best value for money. Highly recommend!

I will NEVER set foot in this place again. The owner, Peter (I think), is downright condescending and rude. What used to be a decent spot with good food and fair portions has gone completely downhill. The food quality has seriously declined — bland, poorly cooked, and not worth the price. But what really pushed me over the edge was the awful customer service. Blank stares, unfriendly attitudes, and an overall dismissive vibe made the entire experience uncomfortable and frustrating. As a paying customer, I expect basic respect — clearly too much to ask here. I’m done giving this place chances. Never again.

We had a mixed roti here on the weekend that was the best food I’ve had in the market in a long time. Felt so loved and cared for by the whole experience. Thank you 🙏🏼

I just ordered from here on Uber eats and honestly I’m not surprised by what I received. Peter and his employees have been doing this for the past years since the starting of him opening his first location to this new one, I’ve been coming to his store for awhile and I decided not to eat from here for a couple of months due to the specific reasons of him skimping out on Jerk Seitan and feeling up the meals with mostly Vegetables or Rice.Today I did decide to take a risk to order from him and give it a try by buying extra Jerk on the side to only not receive Jerk Seitan in my Small Meal and just liquid that looked like soup in a separate container with two small pieces of jerk seitan that I payed extra for which was $5.00. In the photo it may appear big but it isn’t in person. This isn’t a protein meal because he isn’t even putting the protein in the meal. I mostly only got rice and that’s what filled up the container and he covers it up by putting vegetables on top to make it look full.I’m already paying for an over priced meal plus extra on that and I’m still not receiving what I bought. I will no longer be supporting him because it’s ridiculous how someone can show such greed towards his customer when they’re supporting him with their money especially for me being a long term customer. This was just a waste of money for me today! If you were in the same position (Peter and Employees) as your customers and received the unexpected meal that I got today, you would’ve laughed and said is this a joke. Theres other reviews that have been written about this same issue and for you to still continue this shows you don’t care.

Absolute delight! I tried both the basmati rice and the roti. Definitely recommend getting the roti over the rice. Coconut water was also a nice touch.

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!

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.

Quality has gone downhill honestly. Family loved coming here for good food, but not only have they missed order notes several times, they also submerge your meal with vegetables that don t taste properly cooked. Protein ratio to unholy amounts of veggies is very bad.

Peter is a food artist! Got a veggie roti, and it did not disappoint. Where else can you get a real veggie roti with more than chickpea, carrot, potato, and onion? Really, its a full balanced meal in a roti shell! And that homemade Scotch bonnet sauce! Thank you, Peter! You can tell he puts his heart into this, making it an elevated experience! Vegetarian options: All vegan Dietary restrictions: Seitan is wheat based for those who dont know

Super cheap with the protein amount. I asked specifically for more jerk protein to substitute the other 2 and barely got any and barely got any protein in my other meal. Food was tasty but really cheap portion for the price. Not going back

The menu is confusing as a first-timer. For those with celiac disease this is concerning because it takes next to no gluten to cause an outbreak. Staff were dismissive and impatient when asked to clarify whether or not there was gluten in the food we received. It s difficult to enjoy food and feel positively towards a place that doesn t happily clarify what they are serving or reassure those with dietary restrictions - in our case an autoimmune disease. This is especially odd coming from a vegan spot. It s entirely possible that they were under the pressure of a lunch rush that came in right after us and didn t have the time to address our concerns as they would without chits on the rail. It s disappointing because I really wanted to love this spot. I hope that future customers with celiac disease or gluten intolerances are met with more patience than we were. I also hope that our experience remains an outlier in what appears to be a solid track record of positive service. The food was decent but as I said it s hard to really love what you re eating if you re concerned it could make you seriously ill. If you must make sure you know what you are eating and need to advocate for yourself, I would avoid coming in when they re busy as they may not have the proper time to explain their menu format. It is what it is.

My husband and I just visited today and we shared the daily special as it was plentiful. Everything was so tasty, it was a little spicy for me but my taste buds couldn t resist all the flavor combinations! We really enjoyed it. We tried a little sample of the daily soup and it tasted like it was made with so much love! I remember the chef, Peter, years ago being so welcoming and patient with me, explaining all the dishes he serves as I just happened to walk by and stopped in to see what the place was all about back then. The staff at the counter are extremely nice as well and the music is soothing. You leave with a smile on your face and the rest of your day is just beautiful after the experience!

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 )

When I visited Veggie D Light I was embraced by a cozy atmosphere with lovely music, warm and friendly staff and a view of the open kitchen from the seating area. It was all very nice and inviting, but the moment I tasted my first spoonful of the soup of the day I knew I was in for a real treat! It was French Lentil and it was so flavourful and delicious and served piping hot! Following the soup I had a large plate of the most amazing vegan, gluten free Caribbean food I ve ever had. It included a supreme curry that was also so beautifully flavourful and delicious, Moringa loaf, brown basmati rice with flax and quinoa, steamed organic greens, steamed squash and it was topped with a fresh organic salad. The flavours were out of this world. The good feeling I had from being at this restaurant and from enjoying all the wonderful happy food was memorable. It made my whole day amazing. I can t wait to visit again. I ve already recommended to all my friends. Bravo Chef Peter and all the wonderful staff at Veggie D Light.

I wish we werent an hour drive so i could have their food everyday! Absolutely delicious, healthy and made with love... You feel these once you try this food, right away. The flavour is an explosion on your tongue, of complex and multi-layered Carribean spices. Freshness is felt in every bite. Their soup of the day was also !! If youre in the neighbourhood GO EAT there, if youre lucky and theyre still open/have food available to serve. Lets just put it this way, the food was sooo good we killed it before taking any photos. But thats what you need here... Enough food photos already posted.. Just the encouragement you need to experience this awesome restaurant!

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!

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 cant 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 DLight is the place to go.

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 havent 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.

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!!! Were 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!!!

I ordered the large meal with their protein variety, and a small soup on the side. This is the best meal Ive 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 youre being welcomed into their home. I got to personally thank Peter for my meal and he is such a lovely human. If youre 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.*

Owners and staff act like theyre such goody goody but do nothing but trash talk their customers as they leave or insult them. Dont even open on their listed times. Condescending from start to finish and act like theyre the ones trying to help. Clowns. Negative reviews have the same common themes. Its great that serving a $20 bowl of veggies works out for you, no need to condescend clients whod rather not just receive lettuce instead of actual food. Owners and the young boy working there acted like they dont 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 dont instantly treat you like a dollar sign. No matter the money you seem to flash or flaunt, it wont cure your personality as a person clearly.

Wow! I didnt expect to be blown away by this joint! Ive 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. Youve earned a forever customer.

Ive been wanting to eat at Veggie Dlight for sooo long as Ive 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!!

The food here is absolutely lovely and flavourful and made with such care! Whether youre 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 cant 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. Update: Veggie Dlight is still the best. Gave us extra jerk seitan my favourite. ;) Best vegan you will have in Toronto.

Outstanding vegan Caribbean restaurant! We drove from Mississauga to try something new and Veggie DLight did not disappoint. We got the large meal deal, a small roti and the soup of the day (black bean with quinoa noodles). The spice of the roti wasnt hot, but it was super flavourful. If you want heat, which we like, they also have a little container with scotch bonnet or ghost pepper sauce. So even if the meal, as is, isnt hot enough, they got ya there too. The large meal is big enough for two. It has all the proteins in it - jerk seitan, curry supreme (chickpeas) and moringa loaf. Now, Ive never had Moringa loaf, so I have nothing to compare to, but Id eat this daily. Hearty, thick, moist and delicious! Youre also just outside the heart of Kensington market, which is nice. Grab a roti to go and enjoy what the shops and atmosphere have to offer. Easily 5/5 stars. Will definitely be back!

One of the best meals Ive ever had in Toronto - and absolutely the best Carribean food Ive had anywhere! The seitan and curry are SO good, and the small is enough for 2 meals if youre 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 isnt so good but my god... Id move back to Toronto for food like this! Great spot, place to eat outside and the inside is lovely too. Thank you so much!!!

I came today about 1:30 P.M. and ordered a large meal with a little bit of everything, and one small and one large Roti to go for dinner, plus a bottle of the hot pepper. It was delicious! This was my second time having Veggie DLight. Cant go wrong with this place. However, I was a bit let down by the absence of Moringa loaf pieces in the meal. Perhaps Chef Peter was out of it, but I didnt know it until I was about to have it for my dinner. Still, thanks to Chef Peter and his crew for delivering delicious, wholesome plant-based meal, and courteous service!

I could eat here every day.

December 22, 2021

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.

My other regret is that they are not open on Monday and Tuesday. I often have a craving on those days. Its good to learn patience, though, right? The ingredients are fresh and seasonal, cooked to perfection. The flavours are exquisite and demonstrate the true care thats put into this home-cooked meal. The service is kind, quick and efficient in a lunchtime rush. If youve never tried vegan, this is a perfect plant-based start. Highly recommend - easily the best cooked vegan food in the Market!!
