The place is spacious and clean, so you could probably bring a stroller inside and dine with your kid if you want to.

We by chance lucked out and found this Persian restaurant after the original restaurant we had…read moreplanned to go to was closed early after seeing Lafarge lights on a Sunday night. We were also thinking of going to the Sushi restaurant next door but when we saw this restaurant was packed on a Sunday night, we knew we had to try. Much to our delight the food was very tasty. We ordered the meat platter to share. Every item was seasoned well and tender. Probably one of the best Persian I've had and I've tried quite a few in Lower Mainland. The service was a bit slow at first but it was a busy night and there was a big group there for a Christmas party. Once it cleared up, service was more attentive. Also to our delight, while we were towards the end of our meal, a table of men suddenly got up and started dancing! The owner/managed was so nice, he even turned up the music and encouraged us and the big group to dance. People were dancing and eating. We definitely didn't expect a fun quiet Sunday dinner turned to be a fun time. We'll have to venture out to Coquitlam again to try more dishes and hopefully perhaps there will be another impromptu dancing. lol.

On a Friday afternoon I was torn between Red Robins or a Lamb Shank - I know very random. I elected…read moreto try Zeitoon solely for the lunch special. I walked in to the restaurant and noticed how clean the place is. The restaurant had a few customers at the time, one doing a pick up and another couple who dined in, et moi. Anyway, let's talk about the food. I opted for the Lamb Shank and Dill Weed Rice, which to my surprise had a gigantic serving. I wasn't expecting the special to be this huge, I would even say good for two. The server said that its the same portion as the dinner platter but with a cheaper price tag. For an $11.95 special though, I'm not complaining, however, the lamb was a bit chewy and could need a little more salt.

We noticed the new place a while ago but never dared trying it out until recently. The place is…read morenicely renovated, but overall the food was awful. They seriously need a new menu or a new cook. The bread felt and tasted like it was microwaved before they served it. It was chewy, hard and tasteless. My kebab was ok, but the side were minimal (almost none, it came with a traditional bread, no rice or vegetables). I like bread and meat, but I need more diversity on my plate. It was not a meal. The prices are above average, I expected a variety of different ingredients on my plate. We will not go back until a change in food and possibly menu, and can not recommend it to anyone.

This place has a good vibe, friendly staff...from the cashier to the bakery, to the deli counter ending at the restaurant section...we received warm attentive service. Love their fresh meat section and their ground lamb was wonderful. Their grocery deli section is decent but could have more variety. We tried their cream puff and coconut rollette ....it didn't taste fresh. It didn't taste as if it had been freshly baked that day. Perhaps had been previously prepared and refrigerated. The pastry had collected moisture instead of it being flakey and crisp, which indicates pre-refrigeration. I guess my standards for a bakery are quite high. Fresh baked goods daily. The restaurant. Even though the portion size and quality needs improvement....I have to be fair and acknowledge their affordable and reasonable menu pricing. You get what you pay for. Yup. That pretty much sums it up.

Well this is my favourite kebab place. They make great kebabs and breads. Their meat is always…read morefresh and tasty. I usually order ground beef kebab that comes with choice of rice or bread. I'm not really fond of rice in most restaurants - I'm very picky with rice selection so I go with their fresh Turkish bread. It's handmade, soft, fresh and filling. Not to mention it's made on the premises. These guys distribute their bread to tens of businesses in the lower mainland. Only problem with this Iranian restaurant would be the language barrier. You must be clear with your order to make sure they get it right. For example they forgot my kebab plate today so I had to remind them. Another thing, they usually carry breakfast cream which you won't find elsewhere. It's so good, creamy and fresh. They have ayran, shallot yoghurt and some beverages on their fridge as well. I definitely recommend them for kebabs.

I am not a fan of Iranian restaurants that call themselves "Mediterranean." I understand it is…read morelikely the right thing to do commercially, but for heaven's sake Iran is two or three countries away from the Mediterranean sea. In this case however this restaurant actually has a menu of Greek items. So, for those who cannot decide whether they want Iranian or Greek and it is leading to marital discord or creating strife in the house or schism between friends here comes Papa's Shish Kabab. The age old question of 'Iranian or Greek tonight?' is finally answered! You can have your cake and eat it too! The restaurant has a high industrial ceiling and is dimly lit. It is looking out to a strip plaza, a bus stop and a parking lot so there is nothing to look out to and the televisions inside are tacky as always. The restaurant was half full and stayed that way. The sole waitress was polite and the food arrived quickly. I ordered a Vaziri which is boneless chicken and minced meat (koobideh) with rice. The rice is not the best and barely long grain Iranian rice, but it was very well cooked and was delicious. The kabobs were tender and delicious. I also liked how the tomato was well grilled. This plate worked. My friend, who had picked the restaurant, also enjoyed his Koobideh kabob. We shared a Shirazi salad which lacked some salt, pepper and olive oil, but of course was healthy. The prices were better than average and with an order of drinks came to less than $50.

We dropped by for late lunch. We ended up having soltani "special" which comes with lamb instead…read moreof beef and was $6 extra (found out later) and the special bakhtiari. The upgrade to lamb was a hit, as the beef was too chewy unlike other places were barg is just awesome. The chicken and koobideh were good to, though their koobideh is with beef only, it should be lamb and beef. Overall is too expensive for what it is. Our experience with the service was fine. However I would NOT ask for any recommendations as they tend too recommended the most expensive items in the menu (and pushed back on our initial choice) and upgrades that are extra like half salad half rice and they don't really tell you that everything is extra until your bill comes. One thing that raised an alarm immediately was that we were told that the prices in the menu were "old" and that "the prices change all the time".

Let's do the good and if that wasn't your wish, direct Your peepers to the 2nd half of the review. After a heinous day, Donairs can be delivered right to Your door via Just Eat. Whohoo! Along with lentil soup, chips and cheese, salad etc. The veggies are fresh and crisp, the meat well seasoned. The beef & chicken were softer than the lamb. Our platters came with rice and the toppings we chose. The banana peppers tasted great but had no heat. A few pickles and olives sat wishing for more company. The garlic sauce was good but had no zest. Everything was serviceable and well presented - just nothing with a spark to recommend. Another local place gives pita and larger portions for the same price. I am cooking this tonight for dinner as still craving the flavours but want the WOW factor.

I went there in a hurry to get a donair to go and they delivered it. They have options of size (big…read moreor small donair), and can mix types of meat (i.e. half chicken/half lamb). It was fine for what a quick bite should be like (I haven't tried their platters). Friendly service, simple décor, free parking at the door.
