Wow. Just wow. Food…read moreis poor quality. It's like "apathy-on-a-plate". Very small portions, and it's clear not everything is from scratch. It looks nothing like the photos on their website. Now granted, I ordered delivery. I have not met the owners or experienced their in-house service. Maybe I just had a messed up order. It happens. But the only delivery option was SkipTheDishes. They delivered to the wrong house. I walked around in the rain from house to house, looking for our food. Skip refunded the order, but by the time I found it, my dinner was cold. The driver wasn't even in the same complex. Even adjusting for the delivery error, it's still the responsibly of the restaurant owner to see everything from the customer's standpoint. This failed on every measure except price, because it ended up being free. And it still wasn't worth it. I want new businesses to succeed, and I would like this one to as well. But you simply cannot be successful if you do not care.

We pulled into town and immediately saw a Syrian restuarant. I was in my element…read more This is home made, gently seasoned Syrian food (non spicy). It reminded me of trips to the Middle East and food I've had in the homes of Syrian friends. The lentil soup was dairy free, blended with warm, fragrant seasonings. Comfort food in a bowl. The lamb/beef kebabs done beautifully with creamy hummus, fresh salad and pita. Syrian coffee was original, as is served in the Middle East, with cardamon seeds. A pristinely clean restaurant and one of the finest Syrian meals I have had in my life. Shukran, Waeel!

I will definitely be back whenever I'm in Abbotsford BC.

We bought dinner from Yaffa twice; dined in once and takeaway for the second time. I had the…read morefalafel platter which included salad, hummus, and taboon bread. My husband had the kibbeh platter with the same accompaniments. We both loved our dishes. The staff were friendly. We returned a few nights later, but found we would have to do takeaway as seating was too limited. This time I tried the chicken platter with rice. While it was very tasty, the rice was quite oily and it repeated on me later, so I wouldn't buy this entree again. Overall though the food quality and taste is quite good. If I were to advise the owners, I would tell them to remove the large tables and place smaller ones. We would have been able to dine in if 2 large tables were replaced with 4 smaller ones.

Cozy place with not a lot of seating but enough for 25 people to be accommodated at one time. At the front counter , you will see all deserts on the menu so easy to pick and choose. All good is delicious and I have tried almost everything as you can see the pictures I have uploaded. Vegetarian people will not go hungry here as they have abundance of vegetarian items on the menu. Bonus point that they are open until 11:00 pm

Best fresh Shawarma in Langley!…read more Authentic Middle Eastern food and absolutely delicious every time. We just discovered this little gem of a restaurant when walking down the "One Way" portion of Fraser Highway. It is tucked in close to Salt Lane. We have visited several times now and each time the food and flavour profiles have been delicious and well presented. We have tried the shawarma, quozi (sp?). kanafe, falafel wraps, okra soup (served with rice) and Lamajeen (breakfast pizza of sorts). The portions sizes are good and the food comes out freshly prepared each time. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner and are one of the first restaurants open in the mornings on the "one way". Shahzarad has options to satisfy most people (hallal meat, vegetarian choices, pasta or fries options (perhaps for kids whose palates may not be too adventurous yet ;). The service is friendly and polite. We were left with time to enjoy our meal and never felt rushed. If you are looking for great food in a casual dining environment, then this is for you. :) Free wifi and street parking. Update: you can also order on Uber, Skip and Door Dash

Saha poutine had tons of interesting toppings, from halloumi to tahini to fried onions. Very substantive and easy to pretend it's a bit healthier than most poutines. The fries had a good flavor but I wished they were a tiny bit crisper. The pita wrap was a stand out dish - it popped with fruit and crunch. Service was quick and friendly, and the restaurant was clean and modern with a nice indoor/outdoor space. A more casual restaurant that's great for a laid back lunch or dinner.

Knowing that Lebanese food is my favorite of all this was one of our first stops in my two weeks stay. This is a family owned place with the owners behind the counter and working in the kitchen, they appear to be husband and wife, and they couldn't be more friendly or kind. They were so very nice to us and answered all of our silly questions. The food here is magnificent! I had never had tabouli fries before, that was the first. My buddy said their fries were excellent and they are, they are double fried and very crunchy. That is my favorite kind of fry. Pillowy soft on the inside too. The beef-lamb shawarma was special. We got the one with the hot sauce and added more. We are both also chilli heads. I will absolutely be bringing my wife here when we return to the island in the fall. Yalla is 5 stars all the way. Lots of locals in and out while we dined. They know this place is special.

I definitely could have taken half home and still be full. The plate comes with chicken shawarma on rice with a pita/saj, and Tzatziki sauce, salad, and hummus. The chicken and rice were flavourful! But the chicken was too dry for my soft mouth. Hummus had a little too much olive oil for my taste (at first bite it tasted like I was eating actual olives, which I don't like) but was overall creamy. I didn't like the salad or Tzatziki sauce but that's just my flavour profile! The salad itself was really fresh and vibrant and Tzatziki sauce is probably as normal. Service is much like a food court. Self-serve, self-seat, no water provided. It's a small restaurant with around six tables.

After I ordered my chicken shawarma plate, the counter guy was just walking around inside of counter. Other lady was preparing my Baba ganoush in the kitchen area. It took 5 mins finally he STARTED to prepare my meal. So strange. Food was good. The rice, pilaf had good broth flavour. But not like dull rice, it's simple pilaf. Hamus was very very creamy. Entrance is back door. Front door which is facing to 152nd street is only exit. That makes sense because their parking is back door side.

Great spot in Victoria!…read more Definitely worth getting a meal here if you're in town! We started with the crispy eggplant. It was perfectly fried, with nutty tahini to dip into. We also had a few chicken shawarmas, falafel bowl, soup and beer. Oh yeah, they have beer on tap! So nice! Everything was great! Well, my son did t love his soup but he was so hungry, he ate it anyway! We saw them making their own pita bread! That's so awesome! Highly recommend!
