Akram's is an oasis of Middle-Eastern goodness in Kensington Market. They are back better than ever having recovered from a devastating fire. The new location features both a splendid market and an excellent menu of freshly prepared foods for dine in or take out.
This a family run place and it shows; from the friendly helpful nature of the staff to the selection of top quality grocery items and ingredients in their hot food items. Akram's not skimp to keep price points low - you know who I'm talking about!
One of the best aspects of Akram's is their commitment to providing high quality, supremely delicious vegetarian and vegan items on their menu regularly and affordably. I dare say that their vegan blue plate special is the most affordable full meal (protein, starch, salad) meal deal in the GTA at a whopping $4.99! Otherwise, great falafel, excellent hummous wrap, and superb soups for winter dining.
If you're in the market for an inexpensive healthy lunch while shopping in the market area you probably won't do much better the Akram's - if you're price conscious - meaning that money matters really matter, then you've found a new favourite.
