Packed for a reason - and that reason is: THE FOOD IS GREAT
Firstly I love Baldwin Village - its a small slice of the uniqueness Toronto has to offer - and such a lovely vibe in the summer with the patio's ablaze with energy and people.
Now for Vegetarian Haven:
Staff are very friendly, efficient and genuinely seem to enjoy working there. The food is amazing, great selection and phenomenal /interesting choices and selection of unique food's that are put together to make for a tasty vegan/veggie food that you couldn't possibly do at home anywhere as good as Vegetarian Haven.
It is very busy during the weekends - so a reservation would be best if you don't want to wait and wait and wait :-) for a table. That being said they do endeavour to move the tables fast (but not too pushy to the customer).
Definitely on the fancy gourmet side of vegan/veggie fare and a great place to take a date - friend - group of folk.
The price point is very reasonable considering the generous portions and quality of the food being served.
Absolutely NOT your generic Veggie/Vegan fare here - so you will be pleasantly surprised at the array and unique authenticity of the quality and genre of foods being served under the vegan/veggie banner.....which makes for a wonderful night out - as it certainly isn't the same old-same old at this joint (the food is delicious).
