Vegetarian Indian restaurants in Toronto feature a slew of dishes, from South Indian dosa and pav bhaji to hearty Punjabi curries, chutneys and thali combos. Toronto is spoiled for choice because there are plenty of meatless options in the city.

Here are my picks for the top vegetarian Indian restaurants in Toronto.

Udupi Palace

The Little India restaurant is one of Toronto’s go-to restaurants for vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free South Indian eats. A must-try is their giant paper masala dosa filled with a spiced potato stuffing. Yum!

A1 Sweets & Restaurant

Samosa chaat, veggie biryani and paratha stuffed with a combination of aloo gobi and paneer are among the many Punjabi dishes offered by this Scarborough restaurant. Don't miss out on the crispy, golden, scratch-made samosas.

Brar Sweets

The thali from the Etobicoke eatery comes packed with choices of daal, eggplant, paneer and more. Giant roti topped with a knob of butter seals the deal.

This Etobicoke mainstay specializes in serving up vegetarian samosas as well as a variety of Indian desserts that are almost too pretty to eat.

Govinda's

Housed in a beautifully restored church on Avenue Road, this vegan restaurant offers a rotating menu of meatless meals for $10. Fill up on thali combos loaded with rice, dhal, vegetable sabji, roti, salad, pakora and dessert .

South Indian Dosa Mahal

The Indian restaurant in Roncesvalles Village is known for their reasonably priced vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free eats. Order items like thali platters, dosa or spinach lentil soup.
