Dimitri's is a Greek restaurant which has a menu that's barely changed in over 30 years. Vegan-friendly options include hummus and pita, baba ganouj (aka eggplant dip) and pita (although the last time I had it there, the amount of baba ganouj was pretty small compared to what you get elsewhere in the city), all of their salads (except the Caesar) if you ask to have them with no feta. None of their vegan-friendly menu options are described as being vegan-friendly except their "Vegan Pita" which contains fries, hummus, tomato, lettuce and onion.
They used to have a lentil soup which was vegan-friendly but the new menu on their website now lists "Soups" instead of "Lentil Soup" so they may be going the soup-of-the-day way. I've also been told that their Greek potato wedges are vegan-friendly, but have not asked. They also offer regular fries and plain rice.
If you're going to get a salad (without feta) for a vegan meal option, I recommend their "Penne and Bean" or "Villager" salads -- they're very filling.
Recently went here with my mom after she raved about the food. Vegan options are certainly slim but was able to get a veggie wrap on naan bread. Switch the tzatziki for hummus. I had potato wedges on the side and they were super good, the naan bread was really chewy and yummy but the hummus was SO garlicky it was too much. The flavour of the hummus was really incredible, it’s made from split peas I believe instead of chickpeas but man, it was so garlicky my mouth and throat were on fire and it just took over the entire meal. Its hard to even explain the feeling, I’ve never had that much garlic in a dish lol. Other than that, it was really good but because of that extreme garlic I will likely not be going back unfortunately.
Definitely gonna try to make my own hummus with split peas though cause it was damn good. Just a few less heads of garlic😜
Just a quick note to say that Dimitri's uses chickpeas in their hummus (not split peas) and that they use pita bread and not naan (which is Indian). The amount of garlic used in their hummus is actually pretty ordinary and what you'd fine used in any Greek, Lebanese or other restaurant serving it.

Pros: Vegans eating here won't go hungry.
Cons: It's a very meat-centric place., It can get quite loud at lunchtime.

Perhaps! I have had hummus at many restaurant and just found this one to be extreme. Just my opinion :)
