Huge portions, but everything lacked flavour and spices honestly, it was bland! The cauliflower was just deep fried and did not come with any sauce or spices. I prefer Meet on Main for vegan/veg food.

We are here twice and everything we had was excellent. The chickpea fries were incredible and the sweet chilli sauce addition was inspired. read more We are here twice and everything we had was excellent. The chickpea fries were incredible and the sweet chilli sauce addition was inspired.

Meat eating will be a thing of the past and perhaps even be banned or criminalized.

This was the first meal I had when I arrived in Canada last year, and I make it a point to stop by whenever I'm Downtown to enjoy some of my favorite dishes. The staff is incredibly friendly and efficient, and the food is absolutely heavenly.

It felt like a pleasant surprise. My friend and I both ordered platters and were amazed by the generous portions. I tried the Beyond Meat patty, the chickpea fries were incredible, the hummus was the best I've ever had, and the pita was soft and fluffy. I can't stop thinking about this meal and can't wait to go back as soon as I can.
