NOW Toronto: The best new plant-based dining options in Toronto

In August, Kensington Market welcomed this Middle Eastern restaurant, which dishes up 100 per cent plant-based eats. The concept is right there in the name: “Nabati” means “made of plants.” You’ll find meat-free classics such as falafel and halloumi alongside cruelty-free shawarma (soy “chicken”) and kofta (spiced grains mixed with soy, in place of lamb or beef) alongside roasted eggplant, cauliflower spiced with za’atar, and pan-fried mushrooms. Don’t skimp on the tahini.
