Located on a itsy-bitsy strip mall in a residential neighborhood off Pharmacy, you might easily pass it while driving by. As the selection for vegetarian food in Scarborough is limited to mainly Asian fare, I decided to try and support this new Caribbean joint.
I told the server I was a new customer and he showed me the options. You can either get a small box for $7 or a large for $12. For most people in the area, this might not be affordable for lunch. As a general rule, it's best to keep lunch customers moving in and out and serve a good deal under $10 that would spread well by word of mouth.
Either way, I got to nibble on every dish there was. The $12 was gigantic and could have easily feed another person. The okra was great, the beans were tasty and the rice was nice. My sister and I also liked the BBQ 'pork', which reminded me of Chinese roasted pork, in my pre-vegetarian days. However, having just come back from Eurasia, the eggplant couldn't compare to what I'd been eating for the last two weeks. All the flavours were quite mild though and I'm not sure that this might grab and retain customers. However, I would definitely give Ital Vital another go.
