With positve reviews that I'd bookmarked from Yelp in mind, on a hungry mission afterwork one day I decided to try well revered Camros Organic Eatery.
Tucked away from the freakshow sketchiness of the Yonge street strip, on Hayden street beside a Green P lot, Camros is a deliciously cozy oasis of heartwarming Persian organic delights.
The set up is cafeteria-like with open seating and a hot food bar with the days special menu items on display. Exotic flavours abound as items with names I can't pronounce exude wonderful aromas that tempt me to want to order EVERYTHING. Thank goodness there is a friendly ambiguously Asian ( I think?) none-the-less very personable fellow that was very helpful and informative , in fact everyone here is so nice with a capital N!
I end up choosing something called the "silly squash" stew with a lentil patty with saffron brown rice for $10.79 which is pricey yes but all the hard work and effort Camros put into serving up 100% GENUINELY organic ( I mean heck they're even bold enough to list all their suppliers to prove organic integrity!) come with a price. Not to mention all their take-out containers and utensils are made by Greenshift so it's 100% biodegradeable.
Camros switches up it's menu offerings from week to week to keep your tastebuds jonesing for more. I've also tried the Gheyme Lentil stew which is savory with a twinge of sweetness from the plums as well as the brown rice Cabbage roll yum!
Camros also offers up a small yet fresh and delicious selection of raw/vegan/ gluten free desserts. The raw mint chocolate "cookie" is ball of finely pulverized almonds with mint tinged fudgy chocolate and is absolutely the BOMB! I am literally willing to give up eating macarons for this guilt free treat as well as the Lime coconut cake which is heavenly to the point that I start hearing harps plucking in the background when I eat it.
According to their website "Camros is a spirited bird from ancient Persian mythology. It gathers seeds of life and brings them to people for nourishment and enjoyment" Maybe all this feel-goodery is psychosomatic but I can't help but feel so awesome everytime I eat here. Have I found the fountain of youth, or have I died and gone to organic vegan/gluten free heaven? Nah I'm just basking in the afterglow of Camros' awesomeness.
