Vegan I Thali

Excellent place. It's a grocery store and a restaurant. We love Ethiopian food in general and this place did not disappoint us. Plus it's vegan, so what else do you want? There's no dine-in, so you can get a takeaway. Not sure if the place delivers. We went for Vegan Roti Curry meal and savory Samosa. Both of them amazing. Samosa can use a bit less oil. The Curry meal is definitely recommended. Good enough for two people. The staff was great and friendly. There's street parking outside which is paid. Overall, highly recommended!

Really welcoming store and restaurant with Caribbean and Ethiopian food. The grocery section has lots of cool products to check out shea butter, Ethiopian decor, seeds and nuts etc but unfortunately the food did not hit my sweet spot. The owner is friendly and relatively service was quick for takeaway. I had the chickpea roti and whilst the curry was okay the roti was very dry and generally the dish seemed overpriced. Perhaps I should have tried something else on the menu!

My friend and I went for a walk along Danforth the other day, and I saw this place was vegan so I had to check it out. Nice little shop to look around in, and the staff were very friendly! We decided to get the plate with 4 options so we picked the macaroni pie, jerk tofu, kidney bean stew, and eggplant. The food was fresh and flavourful, and a lot of it was new to me! Never had macaroni pie before but I loved the flavour combination of whatever spices were in there I definitely tasted some mustard and that brought it all together. The kidney beans had a creamy coconut milk sauce that balanced really well with the pie. The jerk soy was sweeter than I expected, but I loved it. My friend, who isn’t vegan, said it was his favourite thing! I really enjoyed the variety of all the foods. The two ladies working there were very friendly and welcoming. We had a nice conversation with them while the food was being made, and they gave us some injera bread with an amazing sauce to try while we were waiting! I don’t know what the sauce was because I’m not too familiar with Ethiopian food, but it was red/orange, rich and flavourful. I don’t live in the area, but I will find an excuse to be back!

Tried the samosas and one of the veggie dishes and both were delicious. It was probably made on the spot with fresh ingredients cause it took some time. We also got offered a Turmeric Juice which was great. The prices were decent especially considering the high quality food and ingredients used. Don't expect fast food prices or quality. This is real food; nutritous, tasty and healthy.

This place is amazing!! Alex is the best! This is African Soul food. Real food with real ingredients that leaves you feeling full and nourished. They have authentic etheopian groceries, good quality authentic spices and traditional plant based health products that work like a charm. They have exceptional Etheopian coffee roasted right in front of you with home made bread! A must go!

The food that Alex prepares is amazing. The famous corn soup, Samosa, Garden salad, many more and drinks are so delicious with excellent customer service. I highly recommended any one from united states visits Canada, Toronto to stop by Shola Vegan I Thalia and try this quality food.

A humble storefront and very warm hospitality with maybe the best mixed Ethiopian veggie platter on ingera that I've ever had. Quite honestly I was a bit suspicious at first, as it seemed more of a tiny store than eatery. Served on a plastic plate, each of the three veggie dishes were precisely seasoned and not overcooked as many dal and collard greens can be. The owner served us hot herbal tea and Ethiopian coffee, even heating up the whole beans in front of us. Vegetarian options: it's all vegan

Had a great experience to get some take out here. The woman at the front provided such great customer service and provided some healthy drink samples as I awaited my order. Definitely recommend anyone in the area to check this place out! Got some lovely incense here as well. Lots of variety at this establishment!Recommended dishesThali Plate

Found a food treasure for high quality vegan delights in Danforth, Toronto. I was served by the owner, a Ethiopian great cook and host:she roasted coffee beans, brewed and served in the original and traditional way of Ethiopia!! After all the birthplace of the best coffee is Ethiopia!! The food, magic served with rolls of injera bread... Superb! 5 stars, I'll be back. I bought 2 pounds of coffee beans, I'm enjoying now Vegetarian options: All vegan
