This was by far the best vegan cuisine I have ever had in Toronto. I had Pong's Special and the Pudding. Both were fresh, tastey, and delicious! I appreciated that Pong's Special offered the opportunity to try the various stews and the pudding wasn't overly sweet.I will definitely be back.
Vegan Caribbean food is a unique combination that's succeeding in Toronto's tougher Mt Dennis west-end neighborhood. V's Caribbean Restaurant is actually attracting a flock of people from all over the city to try their comfort food. I made the trek and quickly located the entrance, which had a bit of island flair that made it easy to spot.I had the Chef Pong Special, a full offering with all of their vegan toppings. I really liked the maple jerk tofu, it was slightly sweet and deliciously imitated spicy jerk meat. The curry chickpeas, curry TVP soy chunks and caramelized plantain (banana) were also seasoned flavorfully as interesting sides. The mac & cheese, stew peas and callaloo (veggies) were more plain fillers and less tasty. The fresh avocado and quinoa nicely complemented all of the toppings, and basmati rice can be chosen instead of quinoa.This huge vegan platter is a healthy and filling alternative. While the staff gave a first look of suspicion at my interest, she started to smile when I mentioned that their food looked attractive. I didn't plan to stay long to dine-in so I asked for takeout. The seating area felt kind of stale though their use of Bob Marley placemats was cool.
Awesome tasting food at a great price. Friendly service and was given options to replace items that were not available. Would definitely go back and try other options.
This place deserves ALL the stars.Venue: Between the chef swaying to the reggae tunes and the helpful and kind gentleman who took our order, I easily felt transported back to Jamaica.Food: I haven’t had a channa and pumpkin roti that good since my visit to Trinidad. The porridge was DELICIOUS and not too sweet…amazing! If I could, I would have bought more and taken it back with me on my plane ride home. This place is an absolute gem.NOTE: cash only
Treat yourself and your family to our mouth watering Jamaican dishes! All our food is full of flavour and nutrition! At V's Caribbean Restaurant you get the best of both worlds! Try for yourself!
Definitely my favourite place for a ‘no joke’ vegan food. Everything I’ve tried is amazing, from the juices to the desserts
unbelievable, i treated myself to a b day lunch with them and ordered 5 menu items and i couldn't stop eating to save my life. BEST take out I've had in ages and that they're all vegan is just amazing. thank you for all that you do
I ordered the roti and a doughnut (spoiling myself I know) and honestly I didn't know they were a vegan/vegetarian restaurant until I went inside. I have never had a more delightful experience in my life. I've had roti a couple times. But the main difference at V's is that it actually had a really delicious texture that you don't find in meat varieties.The flavours were delicious and the combinations of vegetables that were thrown in were a complex surprise that you don't get from a standard Goat and potato roti, that was very welcome!My only regret is that I didn't eat it slower.
Delicious & wholesome food! Everything was amazing- get the Tun’up Roti if you want a bit of everything in your roti
The maple jerk tofu is soo flavourful and the owner is friendly. They sometimes start to run out of things in the evening, so call ahead!
