We came here for dessert after having dinner across the street. My friend is gluten and dairy intolerant so when I found this place in google we figured we would give it a shot The restaurant has a nice decor with brick showing and the table tops are sections of a tree trunk. There is a chalk menu listing the desserts. I got some almond butter tarts which where okay, although the chocolate was so rich that was all you could taste. My friend had the mint ganache. The top chocolate was dominated by a fresh mint flavour, and the bottom was a walnut and fig blend I found to be very bland at first, but the more I had, the more I was able to taste. I usually don't eat this type of food, but I would go back and try their main dishes. The gluten free ravioli sounds intriguing read more

I cannot put into words what an absolute pleasure it was to dine here, but I will certainly try! I fell in love the moment I sat down; the restaurant is open & inviting - which is no surprise, as the staff mirrors those attributes themselves. Everything about my experience brought a smile to my face - the food was fresh, creative (the staff is constantly collaborating to come up with new ideas), and unbelievably delicious (so much so that I came back the next day to be able to try more while in town). During my first visit I tried the "Drink Your Greens" fresh juice, had the Coconut Curry Noodles for my entree & finished up with the Almond Bar. I essentially had the staff order for me - I mean, the owner is hands on in every way, so I figured why not? She led me in the right direction - and I couldn't stop raving about everything to my fiancé. The Coconut Curry was made with zucchini noodles they made to order, and the pineapple cut through the spice perfectly. I was in love with the Almond Bar from first bite; one of the best desserts I've ever had. And, guess what?! I had all this and left FEELING GOOD! Too awesome! My lunch today somehow topped yesterday. I had the Cinnamon Toast Crunch smoothie and was at a loss for words on how delicious it was. Better than any smoothie I've ever had (honestly, I could have one every day - and the head chef shared with me that he actually does! haha). The Falafel Sandwich was... Well, you're going to think I'm gushing about this place too much, but just trust me... That Falafel Sandwich is unreal. You can tell they use fresh, organic spices (cumin is one of my favorite spices and this completely blew my mind with how good this cumin was). I spent time talking to the friendly team (did I mention how great these people are?) and found out they grow their chickpeas in house! Yeah, each Falafel Sandwich takes three days to make! Talk about a labor of love! I could (and will) talk about my time here for a long, long time. It isn't just a "hidden gem" in terms of restaurants are concerned - the food didn't just taste good; I didn't just admire the dedication they have; the service wasn't just prompt, friendly and considerate; this place was more than "just" a great restaurant... It was an experience that I am genuinely thankful for. read more

Here's the Real Deal. I came upon this place by accident. I had the munchies I was hungry but I didn't want a burger I didn't want pizza I didn't want Brito Boyz I wanted something healthy. There it was RAW AURA . So I said why not. Let's start with the decor earth tones which I love. I sat at the bar to watch the Chef. Great presentation we'll prepare and clean kitchen very clean. I ate the ravioli which was to die for, filling and so much taste. I also had the kale chips OMG wow ! I ate a brownie which I was told the almond bar was better. So I went for the brownie and I loved it. So even though this restaurant has been there for five years. They have a great menu great service good-looking servers great presentation and great decor I'm all in !!! So next time you're on a drive, going through Port Credit and looking for something that's not a dive and Great prices that has Great food and it's raw and you feel like a champ after eating it! Then this is the place. Enjoying good food one place at a time :-) read more

Overall, food and earth friendly atmosphere were great. Service was highly attentive. I would definitely eat here for appetizers and smoothies again, even though I'm not a vegan or vegetarian. The lemon smoothie was the perfect balance of sweet and sour. By far the best kale chips (with sour cream and onions) I've ever had. Mediterranean appetizer was also tasty, with the dark brown being better than the light brown sticks. Pasta olive entre was decent, but nothing to die for. 4 stars because entre could be better flavor wise (large, not finely chopped ingredients) but 5 stars in all other elements, including menu originality and beautiful plating. read more

So fresh and flavourful! Walking in its a cute and cozy spot with wooden accents everywhere. I walked in with two friends and made the mistake of not making a reservation on a Friday night (1 hour wait). Luckily they take your phone number so you can walk outside while you await their phone call. We got a patio seat and ordered three dishes to share. I was most worried about the food not being filling enough (not a vegan) but to my surprise all three of us were full by the end of it! I'd say the most disappointing thing the food could've been served hot instead of room temp/cold!! The pizza had a nice mix of fresh veg on top with great flavours. Cons: the crust isn't very crisp like I was expecting Next was the Yellow Coconut Curry Noodles. The curry sauce was so flavourful and overall the dish had a nice mix of components. The coconut flakes, lentils and lentils made it hearty with a nice added freshness of pineapple pieces and peppers. This was my first try with zucchini pasta--- for a carb/starch lover, I wasn't mad at it! This dish is worth a try! My favourite was the Ravioli. Such a great mix of flavour and textures with that awesome cashew ricotta filling! A beautiful presentation as well. Overall I'm giving it 4 because if this food was served hot it would be so much more satisfying at dinner time. I'd say go at lunch because it's not super heavy. This fresh food truly makes you feel good after!! Highly recommend going if you want to try a unique vegan eat read more

A-MAH-Zing ! I am plant based and visiting. I came in with my meat eating slightly pliable bud who was blown over! Great food and service. Love the fact that it's real food. The falafel and big salad we split but went solo on the dessert. The chocolate avocado cake and chocolate banana cake you cannot even tell it's vegan! So great. The Thank You Berry Much smoothie was shared and very good as well. Definitely on my go to when I'm Toronto ! read more

I! LOVE! RAW! AURA! Every time I come here, it's always awesome. Consistently great food, great atmosphere and great service. I love coming here for refreshing vegan food and to try something new. I recently took my meat eating partner here for the first time and he LOVED it. I cannot rave enough about the noodle dishes and their smoothies. Oh, and their desserts are to die for. So far I've tried their mint cake, their chocolate cake and their truffle ball things. SO GOOD. I love this place. read more

I've had this place bookmarked for forever but had a hard time convincing someone to go try it out with me. I finally talked it up enough to a friend and we went to check it out together this afternoon for lunch. I have to say, this place is not just good for a vegan restaurant. It's good period. We both agreed after eating way too much that we had just had the best eating experience we've ever had in our lives. The owner was very friendly when we walked in and she sat us at the bar where we had a very nice time talking about food with the chef. It was fun to watch how he put together each dish and he was very friendly and explained the components of each plate he put out. We started with the kale chips. They were so good. Crunchy, salty, cheesy, and perfect. We ended up ordering two mains and splitting them. My friend ordered the pad Thai and I ordered the Alfredo on special. We were both blown away at the balance of flavors along with the texture in each dish. We were full but couldn't help ordering some dessert. We had the blueberry cheesecake and the almond crunch bars. The cheesecake was creamy and not too sweet. A perfect balance and the almond crunch bars I could eat every day. They were absolutely incredible. Hands down if you are wondering about this place just go and check it out. You will not be disappointed. We are already planning our next visit. read more

Bad service. Server is not welcoming at all- she's the one there all the time. The lady took 15 min to tell us they were booked for the night- even after she told us they were good at 8pm when I called in. Have eaten here 2-3 times in the past, and food quality has gone down. Good to try, but won't keep you going back. Would recommend the beet ravioli, and juices are ok. At the end of the day poor service ruins the food experience for me, so won't be spending my money here. Recommend trying Planta in Yorkville, Solasta in Oakville. read more

Man! Very few places can do justice with vegan food. I am a hardcore carnivore and If I am eating meatless food, it better be at top of its game. Needless to say, this place did not make me crave for meat while eating. If I had to describe this place in one word, it would be - 'flavour'. Usually, at vegan or even vegetarian friendly places, you can easily find uniquely named dishes but to add unique flavour to them is altogether a different ballgame. This place has that value proposition. We had - Nachos - must try, they are not the usual run of the mill nachos that you get at a bar. The cashew sour cream and the nutty thing they are served with was really delicious. Smoothie - Meh, we had the choco-holic and the cinnamon toast crunch but they were ok. Only reason I did not give this place a five on five. Noodle bowls - we tried coconut curry and sweet & sour noodles. Both were unique and flavourful. They were really heavy and by the end of our meal, I was happily fed and dead. There were other things on the menu that I could easily have tried so I will definitely go to this place again. read more

Delicious vegan food! I had their taco salad, I came on my birthday (Feb winter) it wasn't busy at all at 4pm the server was very cool. Overall nice experience and you must try this place if you visit port credit i bet it's nicer in the summer when you eat on their patio. Can't wait to go back again. read more

Waitress was kinda weird, was talking the whole time we were there to her coworkers and wouldn't shut up. Even when we walked in, it took us a bit to get her to acknowledge us and pause her conversation. Food was actually surprisingly good. Portions are huge, get's REALLY sickening after like 5 bites. So yeah for a "white" place, I'd say there was great flavour and seasoning to the food too. Prices were good, pretty much expected to be those medium-higher prices since it is somewhere vegan and organic. The waitress was the only annoying part to our entire experience. She also interrupted my friend and I to have a 10 min conversation with me about veganism, I was barely responding back. I think she was really bored honestly she kept trying to talk to everyone. Hella weird. Anyways, I MIGHT come back, most likely not. So yeah. The place was kinda really small, didn't like that. I like that you can see your food get made. It's really GROSS that the chef doesn't use gloves, I almost threw up at that tbh. Good food tho. Would've got a 4 but the waitress was annoying. read more

Raw gem in the heart of Port Credit. They have many options and the menu is SO creative. I wanted to get almost everything on it! My friend and I over ordered - our eyes and mouths did not match! We wanted to try as much as possible but due to the fact this is REAL food, it is very filling. Had a juice, "ravioli" and a olive paste dish. It was very olive-y, definitely great for someone who likes these black olives. Will be back! read more

Absolutely one of Port Credits treasures! The menu makes it difficult to chose one item so when with a group we share many dishes. The flavours are simply divine! Definitely save room for dessert! read more

I was taken here on a date and this place had been on my Yelp "to visit" list for a year! I'm vegan and he's not. We both had excellent dishes! I had the taco salad and it was so good I have actual cravings for it. And it was a great date so - we will be back together ! Decor is also really nice. Highly recommend. read more

I love Raw Aura They serve excellent yummy healthy food They seem so dedicated to their food craft, presenting it with flare and being flexible and responsible re: Covid I highly recommend this restaurant read more

The food here is fantastic, and our experience with the staff was great. I'm usually a meat and potatoes kinda guy, but this blew my socks off. The beet Ravioli was divine. The nachos appetizer was addictive. And my sweet and sour noodles were crisp and tangy. Everyone in our party loved it. read more

Raw Aura is fantastic. Fresh, delicious, consistent quality. You will not be disappointed!

Wow! What an experience. The food was a work of art. Couldn't imagine such delicious Vegan food. Out of the world. Amazing service Great pricing A nice little place for a date night One of the best experiences I've had in a long time You won't regret it. Must go. We loved the curry noodles, the burrito, the tartare and the live bread. Everything was to die for. read more

I've come to this restaurant for a quick lunch a few times now. Each time the staff has been so friendly and accommodating of a speedy "in-and'out". The food is awesome. My favourite items on the menu are the falafel and the maca smoothie (I think it's called the French Toast smoothie on the menu). It is a bit pricey, but the food is worth it and I don't mind paying a bit more for fresh ingredients. read more

I am a carnivore. Most of my meals revolve around a meaty centerpiece. And whether that is lamb, chicken, beef, pork or fish I don't really care, but rarely do I ever eat any vegetarian dishes. Indian Food is the first thing that comes to mind when I think about things I've eaten without meat. Or a chunky Greek salad. A grilled-cheese sandwich. A mushroom-swiss omelet. Things like that. Then my friend invites me out to dinner for his Mom's birthday. Awesome. Where are we going? Raw Aura. Uhhh... where? So I get there, and the name says it all: all the food is raw. Yes. Raw. Hasn't been cooked. And no meat. And no dairy. Not only that but most of the dishes are either cold or warm. As the four of us entered I was actually being teased due to my carnivore-ness, and under duress I decided I should appease the masses for the next hour or so, and we could go for burgers or ribs after for some REAL food. To start my friend ordered a round of Nachos (veggiefied chips made from carrots, flax, and whatever else it needed to give it a crispy texture, because remember: everything is uncooked). The chips come with hummus, guacamole, a tomato salsa and another sauce. While those were being prepared we ordered two of their Falafels (uncooked chick peas, filled with some veggie goodness and wrapped in a leafy green) a chickpea stew (that night served without chickpeas, but with mung and another bean instead), and a veggie lasagna. They also had a impressive variety of fresh juices, with Mill St. organic beer available. So we talk, and I nervously await our uncooked dinners I'm not too keen to try. The nachos arrive. Wow. impressive! So the chips are quite tasty, as are all the sauces. Nothing is cooked and yet things are looking up! Then the main courses arrive, and I was instantly impressed by the plating before I even try anything. Each of our dishes - especially my Falafel - looks like great care went into its presentation. Not only that but the flavours are quite good, everything is fresh of course, and the portions are substantially sized for adults. We're stuffed, but decide to share two desserts: Blueberry Cheesecake and Pecan Pie. And yes, remember that there is no dairy here, nor did the cheesecake taste like soy milk (which I actually like anyway). Walking out of this place - after a single beer - I was absolutely stuffed. And did not regain my usual post-meal hunger until the next morning... as opposed to later that night. Needless to say I was impressed by this place, enough to write this review. I have never done this. Not even for proper meat restaurants! Veggies, you may not have convinced me that I need to give up meat, but you definitely impressed me with what you can do with uncooked food. So Carnivores: give Raw Aura a try just to see how the other side lives, because there's really no better way. All the mains are $15 or less, and there are enough options that you should find something to appease your palette. Service is polite with a smile, the decor is comfortable and it's just a fun place to try - with or without your vegan friends. read more

I would easily give this place 5 starts for the food. The Asian cook/chef was amazingly friendly and provided recommendations since it was my first time here. As for my actual server, I felt she was pretty cold to me. She told me to sit myself anywhere that was for a table of two (it was just me), so I graciously sat in the corner which was probably the most uncomfortable spot. I was ready to order and it took her about 5 minutes to pour me water. I ordered the sweet and sour noodles, which were absolutely delicious. When the server arrived at my table, I still didn't even have a napkin and had to get it myself. I also asked for a spoon (because I wanted to scoop the nuts from the bottom and only had chopsticks) and she gave me a dirty look. I felt so uncomfortable here. When I was checking out, she said if I was paying with debit, just walk up to the front. So I did that after a few minutes or just relaxing after finishing my meal. When I did, she said "I have to finish this credit card transaction first" in a bit of a snarky voice to me. It honestly made my morale go down. Maybe I'm sensitive. So while the food is good, I don't think I'll ever dine here again because of this waitress (and it seems like many people on Yelp have complained about her too). Food - 5/5 Service: 1.5/5 (the 1.5 is for the chef being so friendly..0 for the waitress). read more

A raw vegan menu doesn't necessarily scream "Tasty!", but I like a bit of adventure with my food. Especially if there's a "good for me" factor and it fits in the Elimination Diet. So, I opened my arms (and mouth) in an effort to embrace this healthy lifestyle and their food. It all began when my girlfriend and I planned to meet for dinner. With her in Burlington and myself in Toronto, we picked a central meeting point - good ol' Port Credit. After hours of restaurant research, the plan was to stop by Raw Aura for an appetizer, then escape for Mexican. Before we knew it, we had devoured 2 apps, 2 entrees, dessert plus a few glasses of wine (at least they've got wine!). We never made it for Mexican. I've been planning to head back since, and being on this gluten/dairy-free thing gave me an excuse. THE MENU: I was pleasantly surprised by the range of menu options. There are approx 12 apps and 12 entrees to choose from and prices range from $8 to $12. EVERYTHING on the menu is uncooked, gluten-free, dairy-free, meat-free and an added bonus, ORGANIC! They also haven't forgotten about our friends with common allergies. MANY items are soy and nut-free. Our Order: When you first glance at the items below you're probably thinking "Holy cow, that's a lot of food for two people". I actually went to Raw Aura again with Keith (since it's Elimination Diet friendly), so I'm merging the two meals in this review to give you the bigger picture. The Appetizers: Orchard Salad ($12) - Kale, slivered apples and sun-dried tomatoes were the key ingredients. I'd never thought of having kale raw (one of the healthiest veggies by the way) but that's what gives this dish its cleansing quality. I swear I heard my body thanking me while eating this. The texture is odd at first but you get used to it, and the flavor makes up for it. This gets a 7/10. Nori Roll Platter ($12) - Overall an 8/10. I love avocado (and you know how I feel about sushi) so no surprise this was a winner. The dipping sauce remains a mystery, but a nice complement. I learned afterwards that the "sushi rice" was actually sunflower seeds & almond ginger. Could have fooled me! It comes with 8 pieces but we were left with 2 when I remembered to take the photo to the left. THAT'S how good it was. The Mains: Pizza ($9) - This was #1 in our books (excluding dessert). An 8.5/10. Remember, this place is gluten-free. Crust included. The 2 slices were topped with sun-dried tomatoes, peppers, cashew and tomato sauce. As you can see, the crust is grainier than your usual Gino's pizza because it is made with sprouted buckwheat. The thought of grainy pizza might not sound appealing, but trust me, it's good. Heck, trust Keith! He is very particular about his pizza and he picked this as his fave. Buckwheat - Don't let its name fool you. Buckwheat belongs to the rhubarb family and contains NO wheat whatsoever. Rice is typically the go-to when it comes to avoiding gluten, but little did we know that the alternative kicks its butt. Buckwheat has more than 3x the iron, calcium, fiber, and potassium. Buckwheat is also just shy of being a complete protein (containing 8 out of 9 essential amino acids), making it a protein powerhouse in comparison to wheat and rice. Buckwheat pancakes are calling my name! "Lasagna" ($12) - I gave it a 6/10. Interesting, but didn't excite me like the others. Unlike the pizza and ravioli, not sure this deserves "quotes". Hardly looks or tastes like "lasagna", so it may have been better off named "the veggie stack" or something. Strips of zucchini replaced the standard noodle in this dish, which is smothered with the same cashew and tomato sauces used in the aforementioned. Keith and I agree that we would have ranked this higher had we known it was served cold. Not room temperature, but cold-ish. We warned the table next to us and that made the difference - they really liked it. Now you have the heads-up, so go ahead and enjoy! read more

Great spot for Awesome Raw food, really you won't be disappointed, i am planning to try everything on the menu. The food is delish. Small outdoor patio in the Summer. read more

We went back! It's still as good as ever. The staff were really friendly and suggested the almond butter square for dessert. It was divine! Melted in your mouth. I enjoyed the burrito and falafel (I couldn't decide which I wanted so they were nice enough to split the dishes in 2 portions to give my husband and I a sample of each). The ingredients are fresh and healthy. I loved the cashew cheese in the burrito so much so we bought some at a vegetarian bake off a week later. I think I'll go again when it's warmer so we can enjoy the fresh air and a fresh meal at the same time ;) read more

Raw Aura - Almond Butter Square dessert. With falafel and burrito as entrees. - Vegan Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

Zucchini noodles, cheeseless cheesecake and tree rings ahoy! No raw deal at Raw Aura, just some auspiciously awesome vegan eats. Knowing my predilection for raw food, my buddy found me Raw Aura to cure our Humpday blues. Delicious food, but where is my coffee? ATMOSPHERE Raw Aura's exposed wood and hip industrial-chic hits the right vibes and jives with their healthy hip-nerd cuisine. We particularly loved the lacquered tree-ring tables (despite their diminutiveness). It looked like the tabletops were all cut from the same tree. Want! Verdict: Good for a hip date or for impressing your food-adventuring posse. FOOD Zucchini noodles are the best. Great bang for the buck and tasty to boot. My Coconut Curry Noodles were creamy and delicious, piled artistically high. My friend, a raw food newb, was unprepared for how filling her faux Bolognese was, because it sure hit the spot. Comparatively, I enjoy the Rawlicious Bolognese more, but my curry was better than their faux Pad Thai. Biggest drawback? No coffee! I wanted coffee so bad with our blueberry cheeseless cheesecake, which was the best thing about our meal hands down. But oh, how I dreamed of a decaf almond milk coffee whilst eating it. SERVICE Attentive but so so. Not much to say here, except that my girls at Rawlicious are nicer. That's not just my bias talking. LOCATION Port Credit's main drag is far from being a drag. Past the skeevy motels, darkened factories and stretches of yawning black harbour on Lakeshore is a beautiful, antique-feeling strip of joints both hip and hometown. A pleasant surprise and one to make my Markham heart burn with envy. Worth at trip at some point, but too far to make it a regular occurrence, so says the Markhamite! OVERALL Good raw vegan with a seriously hip atmosphere that I want in my Imaginary Million Dollar Condo. If in Port Credit and craving some zucchini noodling, noodle on over here and enjoy. read more

I was happy to have such a wonderful Raw experience! I have Celiac Disease and it is such a pain to eat totally gluten free and enjoy what you are eating. I went in on a cold day for a tea that I noticed as I walked by, and was greeted by such warm and inviting staff and surroundings that I had the avo tartare with my tea and was so thrilled with the taste, purity, of the appetizer and the wonderful tea that I could have cried. What a treat. I felt great after eating there and I will be going back with my husband weekly if not more to enjoy all the other delights. While I was there I noticed many patrons dining in and picking up their orders and all in high praises. This is a true gem! And yes I am a proud carnivore...but now who knows! Love and recommend Raw Aura! read more

When we first walked into this place, it promised to be EXACTLY what we hoped it would be. We had HIGH hopes that the food would be as perfect as the decor, the ambiance, the service and the location. While Raw Aura is a very cool place to have lunch, the lunch itself really did not hit the spot for us. While the food was super healthy and made exclusively from fruits, vegetables, seeds and nuts (no gluten, sugar or cooking whatsoever), it didn't sit too well. After a couple of bites we were stuffed and then about an hour later, both of us were feeling a little sick to our stomachs. While this place seems to have everything going for it, I didn't end up being a fan of the food. Maybe it's just not my thing, but you'll have to decide for yourself. read more

Best Vegan food ever! I'm not Vegan by any means, I've dabbled in vegetarianism & never thought I'd go as far as eating an all vegan meal. We had their Pasta Bolognese & the Nachos & the Chocolate Banana cake. A-MA-ZING! I went vegan for a month after that lol. But honestly, hands down I enjoyed every bite. It's just so refreshing to see a restaurant take ingredients and make them fresher than they actually are. Every bite has flavour. Have to mention the staff - very warm & friendly people. Can't wait to come here again! read more

This is the first vegetarian restaurant ive ever been to. I liked the taste of the zucchini noodles in the pasta bolognese. I felt some things are probably a bit overpriced however, like the ravioli which tasted amazing but were thin and not very filling. I found a lot of things to be kind of a novelty (zucchini noodles, almond parmesan, cashew ricotta, etc). Overall I enjoyed the experience and will be back. read more

Lived up to the hype!! Delish! Service was a tad slow, but it was a busy Saturday night, so I completely understood. It's very small, quaint, personal and pretty popular...I felt it was quite charming and will definitely be back. The food was amazing, and I was so full when I left. What a great gem! read more

Now I'm not much of a chef at all and my culinary repertoire is limited to the half-dozen or so recipes that I've managed to memorize over many years. In spite of this everything was going fine until I moved in with my girlfriend, now fiancée. Even though she is obviously amazing, whatever skills I did have in the kitchen were basically thrown out the window on account of her being gluten and lactose intolerant, with my vegetarianism even further complicating matters. Thankfully, Raw Aura is just down the street and if I hopelessly mess up a romantic dinner, we have a great fallback. The place itself isn't very big and I would highly recommend calling ahead, especially on a Friday or Saturday night. The service is a little laid back, but very helpful and pleasant so I can't complain. And for not being cooked, the raw food did take quite a while to get to us the last time we were there, but the place was full so I'll cut them some slack...besides, it was worth the wait. As far as the apps go, the beet ravioli is the clear standout. It is fantastic. I like beets, my fiancée not so much but it didn't matter in the end...you can hardly taste any beets in the dish at all. The creamy "cashew ricotta cheese" is excellent and even though it doesn't quite taste like real cheese, who cares? It's an outstanding dish and one that I'll go back to again and again. The Big Salad, however, is best avoided unless you're REALLY into salad. Don't get me wrong, it's quite tasty. But unless you have someone who'd like to share it with you, it's just too big and there are many other things I'd rather have on the menu. It's perfectly fine but in all the times I've gone it's the only dish I've really regretted. The falafel wrap on the other hand is every bit as good as the non-raw, non-vegan counterparts I've tasted and pizza on sprouted buckwheat and sunflower seed flax crust was much better than I could have imagined. I only had a bite but I might have to order it next time. The pasta dishes range from the outstanding (Sweet and Sour Noodles) to the very good (Pasta Bolognese) to the okay (Pad Thai). But this is probably just based on my personal preference. All made with zucchini noodles, all look gorgeous and all are really quite impressive considering that they're using fake noodles! The deserts are also fine, but I'm not a sweets person and besides, I usually don't have room left by that time. But I do pick up a bag of their homemade kale chips on the way out...delish. If you're skeptical, give it a shot. The food is excellent in terms of taste and presentation. If I had one complaint to make, it's the fact that their menu has remained almost completely static from the first time we visited a couple of years ago. They do have specials from time to time and I know that it must be pretty tough to get creative with they're working with (heaven knows I couldn't do it in a million years) but it would be nice to see their menu shaken up a bit. Still, the place is ideal for a (non-vegan) vegetarian with a gluten and lactose-intolerant fiancée...although it still doesn't get me off the hook from having to learn how to cook. read more

Food was extremely oily and manager wasnt interested in feedback. Avocados, olives, nuts, seeds in creamy & oily dressings for every single part of the meal. Nuts are super OILY!!

I'm nowhere near Vegan, I love my meat...but this is literally one of the most delicious, full of flavor lunches I've ever eaten. The Avocado Tartare, the sweet and sour noodles, and the Burrito were fantastic. The pizza was very good as well but not for everyone. I left here feeling healthy, and refreshed. I'm definitely coming back to this place more often. read more

~4/5 on the food ~2/5 for service My two friends and I all ordered noodle dishes (coconut curry noodles, pad thai, bolognese) and all three were soooo fantastic and a serene eye opening experience to the delicious world of raw vegan foods. We chowed down on our entrees like we haven't eaten in days, but when we got to the dessert it was o-kay...The blueberry cheesecake (made from ground almond or cashew?) was extremely bland and kind of just fell apart, and the apple crumble tasted like VERY old browning apples (I guess this is something that should be baked). Aside from the dessert, the entrees are the bee's knees even for a staunch meatlover like myself. The prices are not that bad, considering most restaurants (Jack Astors, Milestones, etc.) all range from $12 - $20 per entree. The awful part was the service...this was the first time my friends and I went there and didn't really know what to expect. When we went in, we stood by the doorway kind of confused because a waitress didn't come and greet us until a few minutes later and then told us to seat ourselves. After that it was another 5 minute wait for the menu (at this point we started to think we have to order at the counter). When we refused to order a smoothie the waitress rolled her eyes and was very displeased. After that my friend began to ask her questions about the food and recommendations (because we don't know how you can possibly make such intricate dishes out of just veggies), but the waitress took on this attitude that made us felt so little, and told my friend that it's her choice and she can't disclose any ingredients or process used on the food -which I understand the need to keep recipes secret, but her attitude was extremely condescending. Afterwards she didn't give us any recommendations and just rushed us to order our food. After we ate, we went to the counter to pay our bills and my god...the counter was SOOOO sticky even hand sanitizer couldn't get it off (minor issue but still contributed to the negative experience). TL;DR Amazing food, lousy service. read more

Raw Aura - Coconut curry zucchini pasta - Vegan Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

This is our 4th time at Raw Aura. The food is so good that we are eating at the bar today which we don't normally do (they squeezed us in).. Ordered the Avocado Tartar, soo good! I then had the Yellow Coconut Curry Zucchini "Noodles" and my wife ordered the Pad Thai, both hard choices as you want to eat it all. Wishing that they open more locations! read more

I have always wanted to try this place and now can finally say that I have. I had the falafel wrap and almond bar to follow. The wrap was amazing. Everything was extremely fresh and VERY tasty and had a little zing to it. The almond bar was better than any almond anything I've ever had! They should re-name this to something more just. The staff was extremely friendly and helped me pick what to eat based on my hunger level. A lot of people think that without meat and wheat there is no flavour - I dare them to try this place! read more
