Rich, abundant, generous and family friendly - Edit
Cozy, colorful, joyful ambience. Food is scrumptious, servings are so generous and every plate is a feast. Very, very family friendly (kids menu, family restroom, they provide pastels to draw while waiting). We visited a few times. The chickpea fries are delicious. The chickpea kebab to die for. Hummus just perfect. Thumbs up for this place. Only a few flaws: staff some days very friendly, other days service could be improved (some days service doesn’t exist at all).Tables and floor could be cleaner. Prices went up, like seriously up. I understand the reasons behind the new prices, of course, but now some dishes are just too pricey.

Phenomenal - Edit
Really excellent food, great variety, and large portion sizes.
Read moreThere are far too many vegan restaurants that simply provide veganized versions of meat dishes where some fake meat and cheese feature - not so at Chickpea, where each dish is a celebration of flavours and ingredients... this is vegan *cuisine* the way it should be done.

Pros: Large portions, Easy neighborhood parking, Fantastic flavours
Cons: Gotta come to Vancouver

UNREAL Good! - Edit
Amazing. The chickpea fries are insane, I’m obsessed with them. As a vegan, I never thought I’d actually *want* to only have fries for dinner, yet here we are! The lions mane tacos were also great.

A Vegan Delight with an Array of Choices - Edit
Exceeded all expectations. The food was exceptional, the service outstanding, and the menu choices abundant.
Read moreWhat impressed me most was the wide variety of plant-based dishes available. Chickpea offered a remarkable selection, from traditional favorites to innovative creations. Each dish showcased the versatility and creativity of vegan cuisine, leaving me spoiled for choice.
The staff provided impeccable service, guiding us through the menu with friendly and knowledgeable assistance. The attention to detail and passion for vegan food was evident in every aspect of our visit.
Very knowledgeable about allergies also.

My favourite restaurant in Vancouver!! - Edit
Whenever I’m in Vancouver, visiting Chickpea is a priority. Huge portions of really tasty food. I haven’t tried their whole menu but I’ve loved everything I have ever ordered here. Hummus to die for, the chickpea fries are perfect, and the flavours are great. They even have some pretty boozy (good!) cocktails.
Read morePros: Hummus platter, Chickpea fries, Amazing flavours
Cons: Washroom is bad

Fresh, flavoursome & generous portion size! - Edit
Me and my partner love Chickpea - he’s not vegan but it’s one of his favourite restaurants!
Read moreWe’d previously eaten from the Chickpea food truck so wanted to try another vegan restaurant on my birthday (not because we didn’t like Chickpea but just because I like to try all the vegan restaurants out there!) but the wait time on the others were too long so we ended up at Chickpea again.
We got as much food as we could and all the flavours were amazing - it was like the freshest buffet of flavours. I got the platter with cauliflower and the mini slaw side - cucumber/dill thing and that was one of my favourite parts of the meal!
The restaurant had a great bustling but relaxed vibe, we ate at the bar but it was a wonderful experience and I’m glad we ended up at Chickpea again… whether you eat at the restaurant or the food truck, you’re guaranteed great grub and generous portion sizes, whilst also eating healthy (or so I like to think, at least).
Pros: Fresh food, Generous portion size, Variety of flavours

Great overall with one misstep - Edit
The Benedict was really good, tasty home fries, and delicious baklava. One misstep - We got it delivered so I know it’s not always at it’s best but the beyond sausage in the dish I got need to be cooked for much longer. It was cold and clearly undercooked. A previous picture showed it use field roast which you can cook for much less time, beyond needs to be cooked.
Read morePros: Benedict, Home fries
Cons: Undercooked sausage

Very, very surprised - Edit
First time here and absolutely love the food. It’s next to Meet on Main but this place deserves your attention. The chickpea steak is one of the best dishes I’ve had in a long time. Made from fava beans it’s incredible how closely the taste and texture is to steak.
Read moreThis place definitely deserves your consideration and multiple visits. The cuisine is all vegan so I’m looking forward to trying all dishes.
Pros: Steak is incredible , Good selection of beverages , Good selection of vegan dishes

Best of Vancouver! - Edit
I never miss an opportunity to eat at Chickpea when I visit Vancouver. Everything is fresh and delicious. I recently tried the carrot cake for the first time and it did not disappoint. This place is at the top of my list for Vancouver restaurants.

We recently visited Vancouver and were excited to get to try Chickpea. We made a reservation and were seated quickly. Our waiter was very nice and I loved the space. Our food was wonderful, the best falafel I’ve ever had. All the flavors and textures were spot on. We can’t wait to come again on our next trip.

One of my favourites - Edit
This is probably one of my favourite restaurants in the world, and I’ve been backpacking to 39 countries as of Jan, 2023. I think I eat there too many times over the last 10 years already but I never get tired of it. The taste is very authentic and it’s vegan, this makes it GOLD to vegans in Vancouver! Must try their CALAMACHICK (GF): Oyster mushrooms deep-fried in cayenne tempura batter with a tzatziki & parsley garnish. Squidlessly delicious! I can’t remember how many times I order this dish!😉

I enjoyed it - Edit
Ordered the platter which came out Lightning quick and was plentiful. My main for the platter was the Calamachick, which is deep fried oyster mushrooms. I thought everything was good, but the hummus was nothing special as I was anticipating. The chickpea fries, on the other hand, were amazing.
