Vegan Carribean food to make all your problems go away! - Edit
I usually stop in for some Ital food love when I'm having a rough day. Everything is so incredibly flavourful. The stews are just divine, and the plant-based meats are just brilliant. The beef spare ribs and the Pepper Pot are unreal.
Read moreThis place is so good that they regularly run out of food, but they take phone orders earlier in the day if you want to set aside an order or two for dinner.
This is Toronto's original vegan Carribean food place, so if you've never eaten vegan island food, make this a top priority and treat yourself ASAP!!
I could eat here every day and never get tired of the food--and there are people who literally eat there every day!
Highly recommended!!!
Pros: All the food!, The stews and faux beef, The service
Cons: I can only give 5 stars, I can't give 10+ stars, I wish I could eat it everywhere else in the world

Cool Vegan Spot - Edit
Food is average to good depending on the day or chef BUT the pepper sauce is the STAR. It is so tasty and does add that extra and much needed flavour to the not always consistent meals.
Read moreThe juices and sweet treats are ok.

Love the plant-based Spareribs BBQ. - Edit
Door Dashed the Small Boxed Meal with Split Pea Roti base, Curry Chickpeas, Okra Stew and Spareribs BBQ. The quality may have suffered a bit due to the delivery time, but I still always love the Spareribs! I also had to try the Soursop (Freshly Made Natural Juices), which was tasty. Will definitely order, or better yet, grab takeout from Ital Vital again.

Disappointed - Edit
Absolutely loved their food for many years, however, the last 2 visits were very disappointing. Half of the stews displayed were not available to be included in the base plus 2 or 3 options box but had to be purchased at an extra cost. The kicker though, was that the hot sauce, which is an integral part of the meal for many people, was not available. When asked why, we were told that they just didn’t make any. Super disappointed as the meal tasted lacking without it. I have fond memories of enjoying their food in the past but I don’t know if I will give Ital Vital another chance.

I liked it - Edit
I ordered via Uber eats and it took about 40 minutes to be delivered after the driver picked it up, so that definitely affected the quality of the food once it arrived to me. I ordered the large box meal with split pea roti, ital stew, curry chickpeas, pumpkin stew, and plantains. My favorite out of that were the curry chickpeas. The roti, I feel, wasn’t prepared completely. On the inside of it was tons of flour. Not sure if that’s how it is usually served. Would love to try this place again but in house instead.

Sweet Ital Vital there's no place I'd rather be - Edit
Things have changed over the years but the delicious meals and friendly atmosphere. It will always remain a gem in the Ital realm. Sweet customer service, delicious meals and a park near for the kids to enjoy. Its a great location.

I ordered a number of stews and sides so I could try a variety. My faves were the curry eggplant, cauliflower wings, and the plant-based bbq spare ribs.

I've become a regular - Edit
Love this place! I come back all the time. It's my first choice for nearby cheap vegan takeout. They've got amazing Carribean food, and with a rotating selection of stews and bases, they've always got a different selection everytime I go. Their BBQ plant based protein that they put on top of every meal is my favourite thing. It's so tasty! They've also got really tasty smoothies and desserts.

Cheap and amazing - Edit
You choose a base with a 2-3 toppings. A small portion was more like a large one (even for my boyfriend who eats a lot!) the food was soooo good and flavourful. Must visit if in Toronto!

Gem in a veggie wasteland! - Edit
We have lived in Toronto for 30 years and have never found a good plant based eatery in this neck of the city. Last night we were happily surprised with Ital Vital! What a gem!!! The food was both plentiful and flavourful. We are definitely coming back! Anyone who is nearby should definitely stop by for some delicious plant based food. Yum!!!

I like their food as it's tasty and cooked with almost no oil. Their Sheppard's pie is to die for and my son loves the red bean chilli.
