Some haters once told me that I won't survive in the Caribbean because I'm vegan and everything there has meat in it. However, one day one of my closest friends, who supports me in everything I do, (including my vegan conversion), took me to this restaurant and told me that it serves vegetarian Caribbean food. This Jamaican-operated, vegan/ vegetarian friendly venue is a small little restaurant that is just north of Bathurst Station. While this place is mainly for take-outs, they also had room for people who want to dine-in, which is what my friend and I did.
The menu was written on a dry-erase white board, although it was quite limited, everything seemed delicious and I wanted to try it all! The menu features vegan friendly roti, with your choice of 3 different types of filling and 2 different shells: white/ whole wheat; their signature corn soup, about 3-4 different vegan entrees, a selection of beverages including their own liquid creations, and also desserts. I ordered the corn soup and a regular whole wheat roti with Jamaican pumpkin filling. The soup was SOOOOO good. The portion for a small bowl was sufficient for 1 soup-loving person (especially for those who loves soup and can never have enough), the soup was full of flavor, it was also hot (I hate lukewarm soups), and it came with a generous amount of vegetables. The regular-sized roti was equally as amazing and surprising big. The pumpkin filling was cooked to a soft mush, hot (again not lukewarm), and incredibly tasty. I love pumpkin! But I'd never had cooked pumpkin at a restaurant before this place. I normally bring home a whole pumpkin (either from the grocery store or my grandma's garden), hack it open with a butcher's knife, scoop out the seeds and cook it with garlic and black beans. The table next to us had ordered the large roti, which is HUGE -I actually think that's too much for 1 person to consume in one sitting, unless you're really hungry. My friend and I shared the regular roti, which was a wise move, because I wouldn't have been able to finish it.
For anyone who thinks vegetarian food is bland and tasteless, you should give this place a try and I promise you, you'll totally eat your veggie-shunning words. This place is amazing: the owner and servers are so nice and friendly, the restaurant is clean, well-lit and cozy, the food tastes GREAT and since it's vegan, it's also healthy and good for you, and lastly, the big bonus: it's NOT expensive! The prices are SO fair for the quality and quantity you receive, thus breaking the myth that vegan/ vegetarian food/ restaurants are expensive and the portions are small. You will definitely leave this place full, enlightened about vegan food, satisfied and happy. ONE LOVE fo'sho!
