I love the dip! The dip is a need with all of it!!!

Recently tried this! Very good and very filling. Great portion sizing! It's really busy but still quick service. Definitely will be coming here again!

If you are looking for delicious Persian cuisine for a fancy dinner, this restaurant is the spot to check out! The service is kind and attentive. The music is sometimes a little bit loud.

A friend recommended this restaurant for dinner. I was initially surprised to find there is another location a few blocks away on 16th street and figured this restaurant had to be good with two locations so closed to each other. We dined on the 19th street location. The ambiance was lively with Persian influences from the decor to staff uniforms. I liked how their menus had photos of the food for those who are not familiar with the cuisine. I ordered the jalapeño ground beef kebab with rice instead of bread for my entree and a dalal yogurt drink. I decided on the jalapeño option as I enjoyed the ground beef kebabs in general and wanted to try something different. I was not disappointed with the decision. The yogurt drink was first to arrive and was very good. I liked the savoury taste and smooth texture of this drink. Next came the entree and the beef kebab was delicious. The meat was flavourful, juicy and tender. It was one of the best kebabs I have eaten in a long time. The side of rice was good as well and nicely presented. Service was good. Staff were efficient to take orders with their tablets and offered take out containers without us asking. I highly recommend giving this restaurant a visit when you are craving for some Persian food.

Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with my experience. Ordered take out for a pick up on my way…read morehome from work. When I arrived the food was ready, however, not a single staff member was helpful and actually quite rude as I tried to get my order. Ended up speaking to a host and 4 staff just to figure out the pick up. When I got home the food did not match what was was described, salmon skewers were only baked salmon filet, the $9.99 salad was less than a cup of diced tomato and cucumber and the beef skewer was dry and under seasoned. Surprising considering how many great reviews there are. With so many choices for great Persian food on the North Shore I will go some place else next time.

If you are looking for a place to feel like you're in a movie set or impress someone then do not…read morepass by Akbarjoojeh! This place looks so pretty on the outside with the different coloured flowers and stained glass windows but when you walk in, your jaw will drop to the floor! It is stunning beyond words with all types of Persian decor scattered throughout the restaurant in every nook and cranny. My eyes couldn't stop scanning the place and seeing something new each and every time. Beautiful colours of red, gold and various others popping out all over the place. The enormous golden samovars just screamed luxe. Even the menus have a carpet like material on the outside...I just couldn't believe how much attention to detail there was in this stunning restaurant. It is an experience that transforms you to the Middle East that makes you feel like royalty! The service is quick and friendly even though they are so so so sooooo busy! Now let's get to the food...believe it or not but it's just as amazing as the decor. The koobideh beef is juicy and very thick too. The joojeh chicken is super tender and melts in your mouth. The shishlik was the star, even in a well done form it was somehow still tender and juicy! The yogurt drink is refreshing, the Akbar mashti ice cream is fragrant and sweet and you can't go wrong with ordering anything on this fantastic menu. My deepest compliments to the chef!!! I'd say the Akbar joojeh dish could do with a touch less oil and their tea could've been more dark and fragrant as it was quite bland after the symphony my senses had gone through and the baklava would've been nice in Persian style instead of Arabic to tie in with the atmosphere more but these are very nit picky types of comments as this place is the best one in the lower mainland to go to especially when you're craving middle eastern eats. I wish I took more photos but I was in too much of a state of trance! Please do yourself a favour and run over to akbarjoojeh!

Good spot in the area for a sandwich besides the usual fast food spots. Their sandwiches are HUGE!…read moreThey definitely do no skimp out on ingredients and you will 100% be full with one. Probably best to split with a friend unless you're chronically hungry. I got the Haida special. Having crispy potato sticks mixed into the cold sauce was a rather unique sandwich addition! Service was polite and quick. You get what you need with a smile! Downside with their giant sandwiches is the inflated price. While it makes sense for their price to be higher, it can be hard to justify for most. Worth a try though!

Best spot on the north shore for Persian style sandwiches. They have a variety of cold and hot…read moresandwiches. I personally prefer their cold sandwiches that have chips. Their sandwiches are perfect for takeout and summer picnics or beach days. They also have a few delicious appetizers you can choose from, including Persian nachos called Chips & Cheese. One thing to keep in mind is that they don't have that many seats available. We ordered: Chips & Cheese - Chips, Cheese, Deli, Mushroom, Green Pepper, Special Sauce Haida Special (Cold) - Chicken & Pistachio Beef Deli, Tomato, Lettuce, Potato Sticks, Special Sauce Haida Royal (Hot) - Beef Sausage, Chicken & Pistachio Beef Deli, Tomato, Mushroom, Lettuce, Pickle, Cheese, Chipotle & Special Sauce Haida Hot (Hot) - Chicken & Pistachio Beef Deli, Tomato, Pickle, Potato Sticks, Mozzarella Cheese, Special Sauce Parking 4/5 (plenty of feee street parking) Service: 3.5/5 Food 5/5 Atmosphere 3/5 (barely any seating available)
