Delicious tofu shawarma! - Edit
Loved the tofu shawarma wrap I had in a fresh-made wrap. There is an indoor picnic area that was warm enough to enjoy in even in February
Read morePros: Awesome tofu shawarma!

Thank you so much for your excellent review! :)

Great shawarma, great service! - Edit
Very friendly little street food place, limited number of items on the menue but those are awesome😄There's a little hut next to it (heated!!!) to have your meal in a dry warm place. Be sure to bring your own tupperware for take aways and get 1$ reduction. Card payment possible, preferiably debit, but credit is also ok.

Yummy vegan shawarma - Edit
Visited this place when I was staying for a day in Toronto. The food is very delicious, I tried the vegan bowl and additional pita bread and was happy to eat here. They have outdoor seating place but it's actually closed and heated during winter. Would visit again when in Toronto.

Good vegan option - Edit
Not really like shawarma but still a nice change from the usual beans and rice. Best as a take out as there is limited seating. I ordered ahead but still had to wait almost 15 minutes.

very delicious - Edit
This is one of the things I'd been missing and so I was excited to find it! There are currently three options: a wrap, a salad bowl, or rice with a side salad. You can pay extra for more "meat".
Read moreI chatted with the owner while he was preparing my meal, nice guy! I went back the next day for some chai. Both days I was very happy with what I got, and I'll definitely go there again when I'm back in Toronto.
The prep took some time both days so if you're in a hurry maybe ask first to see how long it's going to take.

Authentic shawarma but cruelty free obviously! - Edit
Quite an earnest attempt at creating a palate satisfying menu albeit few items yet. Really hoping this one grows on to become a full fledged restaurant soon. The shawarma is to die for!

A good food truck - Edit
I got the Bear Wrap and I was very good I’d give it a 7.5 out of 10 the only thing was I found it to be a little bit too salty, but maybe that’s because I ordered it with pickle. Definitely a good vegan food truck and I would recommend going if you’re looking for vegan food truck food and you’re in the area.
Read morePros: Taste good , Filling
Cons: a bit pricey , Noisy
veganbearfood
Thanks a lot, Drexel. Yes, you are right, our pickles make the food saltier. We also do pickles on the side. Come back, you will love the food, even more, this time and the ambiance is quieter and very Christmasy now.

Delicious!!! - Edit
Wonderful spot in downtown area with a single, simple and amazingly tasty shwarma wrap (also comes as a salad). For a small added fee you get an extra serving of the amazingly spiced faux meat. The homemade sauces are a perfect fit with the fresh pita bread wrap. Come support this start up business and the super friendly owner.
Read morePros: Super fresh, Fairly priced
Cons: Location is too far from my New Jersey home.

Average at best - Edit
There is currently one option on menu and can make it into a bowl. There was unfortunately a hair in my wrap as well. The worker handed us a “pickle” to try and put it in our bare hands?? Quite disappointed seeing it was our last meal out in Toronto and we wasted that. Go elsewhere.
Read morePros: Central, Relatively priced
Cons: Tasteless & bland, Poor hygiene skills , Soggy

Hi Jessika,
Read moreSorry about your experience. Next time you come back to Toronto, we will make you another wrap on us, it will be super delicious, not soggy and definitely no hair in it.

AMAZING! Even two days later - Edit
So my dad travels a lot for work and found this place via Happy Cow. He loved the shawarma wrap so much that he brought one home for me and my boyfriend (he's pretty darned savvy bringing his own Tupperware and ice packs). We didn't get it until almost 36 hours later but even then it was incredibly delicious. So much flavor and pretty unique as far as vegan wraps go.
Read moreI can only imagine how delicious it was hot and fresh. The hot sauce is great too! Can't wait to have it again.
My dad spent a lot of time chatting with the guy who owns it and his mom (who makes the hot sauce). They sound super sweet and I wish them so much luck.
Pros: Delicious, Kind owner
Cons: Small menu options

And will certainly want to eat at Vegan Bear!! I loved the Bear Wrap! Going to try the Naked Bear next time :)
PS: Please let us know your plans what you will do in the winter! We need you around😄
Pros: Amazing Food, Amazing Staff (A lady helped me), Amazing Location
Cons: Just a wee bit pricey to eat here very frequently, It sets the bar too high for others to compete
veganbearfood
Hi Kunalca, thank you so much for this amazing review. We are up and running even in the winter now! We have a beautiful wooden indoor heated gazebo with seating and tables.
Read moreAlso, our portion sizes our bit bigger now for the same items you had earlier, so it definitely justifies the prices now. Also, we have items such as the daily soup that are very affordable, filling and nutritious.
