Already veg-friendly Ethiopian food is kicked up a notch at Parkdale's M&B Yummy where faux beef and chicken dishes allow vegetarians to see just what this tibs thing is all about. The menu includes vegan dishes, chickpea, lentil and other non-mock-meat options. Beef seekers beware - M&B proudly claims to be Canada's only pure veg Ethiopian restaurant.

Yum
March 22, 2013

The owner cooks the best Ethiopian food. She has items like "beef" and "chicken" on her menu, as well as vegetable dishes. It is cheaply priced, but the food quality is amazing.

Amazing Vegetarian Ethiopian
June 19, 2012

M&B Yummy is one of those local treasures in Toronto. Not many folks know about it - but those who do eat here frequently. It's incredibly cheap and the portions are huge. This is the only Ethiopian restaurant I have been to that serves mock meat. Both the 'chicken' or 'beef' platter are excellent. Other yummy bonus are the spring... more

Tasty food

Delicious food, generous portions, friendly service & atmosphere!
Due to how I loved the food flavors, it was my favorite restaurant experience in some time. See photos for the cute eclectic Ethiopian decor. I came here for lunch on a weekday. Found parking almost right in front. $1.50 an hour by street meter.
Zeni the owner, was especially friendly &... more

To continue the tale of the doggie bag...  I did eat it cold the next day and the day after that.  They just gave me enough food for two days!  How awesome are they?  And the owner was right: it tasted fresh and delicious out of the fridge, at room temp.  Why, oh why can't we have places like this around where I live?

I first went to M & B Yummy around 3 years ago on a vegetarian food hop, and have been a regular customer since. The owner, Zeni, is a kind and gracious host. She will remember you, your order, and your food preferences after your first visit, and is more than happy to run through all of the menu options with you if you have allergies. She takes great care to ensure that your meal is enjoyable... more

preface: Ethiopian food is great, and I'm glad that Toronto has so many pockets of it.  From Addis Ababa @ Queen/Gladstone, to Ethiopian House near Irwin/Yonge (north of Wellesley stn), to all of the plentiful Ethiopian restaurants on Bloorcourt (we've already tried a few, but will mention them after visiting even a few more).Don't forget to try Ethiopian coffee, if you haven't already.Order it... more

Vegan Ethiopian food? Yes please! I'm surprised by some of the negative reviews, I've been to M&B numerous times and have found the food to be consistently delicious every time, and cheap!  Best choice is probably the veggie platter but when I'm in the mood for soy products, the chicken and beef combos are also very good.  The spicing is spot on and you know that the food is made and served... more

My introduction to Etheopean food and I have always returned to this spot - it became my FAVOURITE PLACE for Etheopean food -aside from my friend's place where her mom makes everything from scratch - this is the best. It is the only vegetarian in Toronto as well, I'm sure.Not only is the food delicious and bountiful, but the owner- Zeni - here also cares about you; she will not let you order... more

Check out the only meat-free Ethiopian restaurant in all of Toronto!In 2010 alone, I hosted large vegetarian socials here a couple of times. On both occasions, Zeni - the owner - was amazingly good at accommodating anywhere between 20-30 people, even asking extra kitchen staff to come in to make sure our meals were served promptly.While all the different dishes were really awesome, what rocked... more

This is the first Ethiopian place I've been to where they have "mock" meat - interesting but I'm not a fan of that.  There's a distinct taste - you know it's not chicken/beef.Regardless, I liked the other lentil, chickpea type spreads.

I keep giving this place chance after chance because as a vegetarian I really want to support veg restaurants. But truth is, if you want GOOD vegetarian Ethiopian food you can find better vegetarian options at places that offer meat as well. The last straw for me was when I showed up last night with 3 friends at 8pm (it closes at 10pm) to give this place one more chance to impress me, only to... more

M&B Yummy was my introduction to Ethiopian food, and I mostly enjoyed the tastes and experience. I went with a couple of friends and after back-and-forthing over the menu quite a bit due to feeling like we couldn't make an informed choice, the owner (I think?) came over to make some suggestions on what to order.Between the three of us we ended up going with the "beef" and "chicken" combos which... more

It was our friends' turn to pick a restaurant, this time a vegan choice. Now, things didn't start off well since it was raining hard that night...I know, I know, don't complain about the weather! As soon as we stepped inside though it was all worth it. The owner/chef was friendly and made lots of suggestions about what to order. Our friends have been to several countries in Africa including... more

While its name falls short of brilliant, M+B Yummy has worked its way to the upper echelon of restaurants on my list, surpassing Banjara and Nazareth, my usual go-to cultural hotspots. While Parkdale is sketchy to say the least, this all vegetarian Ethiopian eatery packs a killer punch and leaves you yearning for more. It's well worth the foray into this less than desirable neighbourhood. Big... more

Inexpensive great food and a very friendly owner.  I've eaten Ethiopian food all over the world and have seen a 100% vegetarian Ethiopian restaurant only one other time in Los Angeles where I found the food to be bland.  Here, the food was flavourful and vibrant and the owner is super friendly and accommodating.  The food can be prepared precisely to your taste and spiciness preference and... more

100% vegetarian take on Ethiopian food.  Amazing use of spices and veg meat substitutes.  Great value for the money. Not suitable for a "quick lunch" unless you call ahead and place your order.  Like most quality Ethiopian places food is prepared as it's ordered and takes a while but is Oh So Worth It! ;)

As far as I can tell, M&B Yummy is the only 100% vegetarian Ethiopian restaurant in all of Toronto. It's way out west in Parkdale, far away from "Little Ethiopia" and if you make the trek you can get stuffed silly for $10 or less. NOTE: All mentions of meat to follow are "faux meat."They have $4 soups made fresh daily, like Ethiopian minestrone (need to try), lentil, red cabbage, ground... more

Ok, fine. So sometimes when I do Ethiopian with my carnivorous chums, and they're all, "oohhhh mannnn this spiced meat concoction is amaaaayyyyzing", I GUESS my curiosity takes a leap. So when I heard about M&B, a vegetarian Ethiopian restaurant with faux meat options, the novelty was enough to drag my a@!e out for some injera. The verdict? Holy c@!p. So much food, and so cheap!
