I got their Grilled Lebanese Arayes Akawi Cheese (Pita Bread with Akawi Cheese grilled). The cheese was nonexistent existent and the photo comes with veg which never came. I also got the Falafel plate (Five falafels with rice, fattoush and tabouli salad, hummus, tahini, a stuffed grape leaf, and pita bread). I said no rice which they offered fries instead! Great, yes. I said no pita as well and added sides of their garlic sauce and their spicy garlic sauce. This plate is huge! Easily 2 meals. Mines came with rice and no fries and pita. Also, their spicy garlic sauce was just hot sauce. The stuffed grape leaf was not fresh and was not right. The salads, falafel, and even rice are good. But would not make another visit.

Half of the business and the restaurant and the other half is a small grocery store. Sandwiches come in two sizes, and I found the smaller size to be more than enough, filled with warm pastrami. I ordered a small size of chicken noodle soup and added a matzah ball, which was firm and dense. The soup had a nice piece of chicken in it and was warm and comforting. My sandwich was served with a sour pickle on the side. It's a bit pricey but such is life when it comes to eating kosher.

Best to get there for 11:30 if you need parking close to the entrance. I like Matzah ball soup, while my husband enjoys the beet soup. The sandwiches are tasty and generous. They also serve a FREE snack tray of kosher dill rounds and dried bagel bites. Prices are very reasonable. Their soup and 1/2 sandwich is probably the most economical buy. Very pleasant staff...all volunteers. At the entrance, you place your order before entering the eating area. You are given a table number. Your volunteer waitress will be along shortly.

I have had the opportunity to enjoy it on several occasions and it has always been fresh and delicious. From Hors d'œuvre to deserts everything was flavorful and not at all dull (which is kind of what I expect from kosher food).

We arrived on a Tuesday and forgot about this so we got caught up in the hustle. Best grocery store on the island. It's shopable and their cafe is great! Compared to some of the competitors this is the best. I just miss the bowling alley across the street. Don't sleep on their bakery. If you're not getting the Nanaimo bars you're just losing money! The check out clerks and very friendly...sometimes too friendly...Just the other day I was chatting with my husband and the clerk made an odd comment and in our A and B conversation, he did NOT C his way out it.

It was a great meal before attending the graduation ceremonies. I honestly wouldn't go this far to go to this location but if I'm somehow in the area again, I know this is a great spot!

We had such a great meal at the Maple Grill. Here were some of the highlights:…read more -The food! It wasn't good kosher food, it was good food. My husband and I gorged ourselves a bit because it was so, so wonderful! I got the coconut, carrot, ginger soup which was excellent and a touch spicy. I also got their vegan lentils with a creamed guacamole sauce (parve) and tomatoes and other roasted vegetables. It was out of this world, and I would happily go back just for that dish. My husband and I split a grilled maple sesame salmon salad and the sweet potato fries, which were amazing. He got had a wonderful dessert. -Allergy/Food Issue Awareness: I'm gluten free and have some other food allergies. It was so refreshing to walk into a restaurant and see food labeled as vegan, gluten free, ect. It meant that I could look at the menu and decide what I wanted once we were seated and not have to come up with a list of questions to interrogate the server with. It also showed me that they were on top of the allergy/cross contamination stuff, and I didn't have to explain my allergy. -The menu changes seasonally, reflecting which produce is at its peak. I realize that this is a hard thing for many restaurants to do, so congrats to the maple grill! -The servers and host were excellent and very friendly. We typically find that servers in kosher restaurants forget about customers once they've been served, but this is not the case at all. -It was wonderful to find such a great restaurant in Vancouver. Not at all what we expected, but definitely much appreciated! Here were some of the things that they could improve on: -Service was very slow the night that we ate there. (In all fairness, I believe that one of their staffers was out sick, but my husband was able to take a nap between ordering and when the food arrived). -The Grill is being redone and looks great! However, their bathrooms were also being renovated. Initially, when I popped my head into one, I thought it was out of order. I think that a sign on the door saying, "Please excuse our appearance while we're under renovation," would have been a good idea. Nice Touches -They have a beautiful washing station outside of the restrooms. Thank you for a great meal!
