The Grape Leaf Diner

There are a lot of great Mediterranean restaurants in Toledo; always a safe bet that you can find a vegan meal. We ordered takeout last weekend from The Grape Leaf Diner and enjoyed our meal.

We ordered the two vegetarian combos that included hummus, tabbouli, grape leaves and spinach pie (which is not vegan--it was enjoyed by our non-vegan diners), baba ganoush, a fattoush salad and falafel. (NOTE: their rice is not vegan or vegetarian--it has chicken stock in it--you may substitute it with fries, hummus or more salad on their lunch platters or dinners.) We also ordered a side of fries, cooked with a nice garlic taste. In addition, we had two falafel sandwiches to share.

Highlights for us included the fattoush salad, nicely dressed and served with crispy pita chip pieces, the fries which were tasty (but of course not healthy) and the hummus, which had a nice taste.

They have a nice dine-in facility but for us the take-out was perfect that day. There are also two Grape Leaf Express locations (in Perrysburg and Toledo on Monroe) that have similar menus, with slightly fewer options (e.g., no baba).

I love eating here! I'm confused on which items are vegan though. Is it just the spinach pie that is not vegan?

Hi Courtney,

One of the meal combos we ordered included spinach pie, which is not vegan. Since we were eating with omnivore friends, we went ahead and got it to share with them. There are many items on their menu that are not vegan (as well as many that are), but we just wanted to point out that one combo that was included in what we got was not vegan.

Hope that helps! Thanks for reading our review! :)

I tried to go here on Saturday. What do you know about them closing? The doors were shut, for sale signs were up, and I was sad.

I heard the Perrysburg location was closing but Holland is definitely open and thriving!

I hate to be a buzz kill, but my understanding has always been that the rice is not vegetarian or vegan. I've been going to Grape Leaf diner for about 20 years and I've always avoided the rice because it is made with chicken broth. Do you have any knowledge about this? I could be wrong about this. In my experience ethnic restaurants like this one sometimes have a difficult time understanding what makes something truly vegetarian or vegan, i.e. avoiding things like chicken broth or lard or stuff like that.

I usually get extra house salad or (vegan) lentil soup instead of the rice - both are delicious!

I don't think falafel is traditionally made with egg, but I think I've seen recipes that include it. May be worth asking about.

Thanks for your note! We do specifically ask if each item we are reviewing is vegan before we post about it, but sometimes we have encountered situations where the person taking our order did not check thoroughly.
