Chic Peas Veg

Was looking for a gluten-free and vegan place and happened upon this neighbourhood gem. Finding it was a bit of a trick. It's inside F.L.I.P Kitchens which is a food hall on the north side of 5210 Yonge St. I can't say I've eaten much Eritrean food before, but it's similar enough to middle eastern flavours. I enjoyed a Sampler Plate. The big winner there was a soy with a sauce that made you forget it wasn't real meat. The sweet potatoes had a great texture too. I also enjoyed a Tropical Storm Smoothie with spinach. Also highly recommended. If you can, call ahead because Naza makes a lot of things fresh, so she can have your food ready when you arrive.

There's no where that I frequent more, since Chicpeas opened in December. Naza's food is a testament to her commitment to providing customers with comfort and love. There is truth to the motto she uses at the end of her menu "Taste the Love". She treats her customers like family. The menu that's offered is limited but there's so much more available on her website! There's a treat section that's dangerously addicting. I find myself daydreaming and opening my browser to that page. There's brunch on Saturday with freshly made gluten free waffles topped with a savoury or sweet option. I'm a big fan of her soups but sadly have only been able to snatch them when she makes it for the market. There's so much more to rave about and if you've read up until now, it's best to head over.

Tired a combination of all the stews — the jerk stood out as incredibly tasty. The food had good spice without being overwhelming and the owner was cheerful and just brought loving vibes . Will be back ! Toughest thing is to actually find the restaurant. You enter on Yonge and it is one of a number of restaurants stacked side by side as you walk westward inside the building .

Absolutely a hidden gem! This little vegan place is down the hall in most inside of the flip kitchen. The vegan roti is amazing with vegan jerky. Soup is the best! I have a lot to update on this place I will update as I visit more!

First time having vegan food and Ethiopian food and it was very delicious. I got the sampler platter to get a taste of each stew plus a samosa and injera bread. I've always been hesitant about vegan meat substitutes, but the TVP in the "beef" stew could really fool anyone while tasting amazing. This meal definitely showed me the best that Vegan and Ethiopian food can offer.

Edit: Second time eating here and you HAVE to try it! I spoke to the owner I believe and she was SO lovely! First time trying Ethiopian/Eritrean food and it's incredible! The TVP stew tastes like and resembles beef. The stews are flavourful and pack a little heat. Injera bread is a little sour and very light but holds the stews well. Definitely try the sampler platter, so you get a bit of everything! Vegetarian options: Vegan!

Love the flavours! I got a little bit of everything and oh my, everything was delicious. So nice to have a fully vegan option in North York! They’re just at 5210 Yonge St so definitely check them out

So much flavour! I love the variety of food when ordering a sample platter. Honestly everything is so good, and the staff are super friendly!

Very tasty Ethiopian vegetarian food ! Had a platter with turmeric rice and 2 stews with a salad. Owner is extremely pleasant and friendly as well. If you're in a mood for healthy and delicious food who isn't?, this is highly recommended ! Located inside flip kitchen at 5210 Yonge St !

Lovely plant-based cafe. I tried the sampler platter ate half of it before thinking I should have taken a photo...the presentation was excellent! special, which was a great way to try several of the available options. Naza provided helpful and enthusiastic insight into each dish, the seasonings and preparation. Clearly a labor of love. Everything that I tried was excellent. A little tricky to find, as it's in a sort of food court alongside the ground floor of a condo building. The address per Google Maps is correct. Look for the "Flipped Kitchen" sign or otherwise just walk to the south side of the building and the food court is accessible from the street. Vegetarian options: Vegan Dietary restrictions: Vegan, some gluten-free options
