In any Persian restaurant in the vicinity of Vancouver the lowest price for this dish is $28.00 going all the way to $34.00. The adorable fact about Farsi Food is they offer that dish for $23.99...and here's the real kick....The quality is just as good! So, let's do some basic math here.....at this place you pay less for the same level of quality. They're just not...all high up on my horse about it. If I wanted to pay nearly 35 bucks for a meal, I'd go to a steakhouse and order a filet mignon......get my drift? Loved the Vaziri. The chicken had a beautiful lemon-marinated aftertaste and tender on the inside. The Beef was also pre-marinated and grilled just right. The rice was actually impressive. Persian rice is cooked a certain way. The grains were fully extended and al-dente, which only means they were cooked right and steamed right....oh and it was seasoned. You'd be surprised how many Persian restaurants serve their rice unsalted, which is surprising considering that Persians salt everything generously. The tomato was fresh and had a super tasty bbq'd taste grilled to perfection finishing with a sweet bow. I also loved how the side onion for our to-go order was cut fresh. I mean super fresh. Yes, little bites of raw onion with Persian dishes is very tasty....it just goes....you should try it. Friendly Service. Clean Space. Fair Prices. Why would I go anywhere else? I wont.

This was by far one of the best Persian restaurants I have tried in Canada. The Tehrani Kebab was…read moremy favourite dish. It was a combination of koobideh + joojeh + barg kebab and every bite was filled with flavour. That being said, my least favourite was the barg kebab that came with the Soltani Kebab as it was overcooked and dry. The portions were huge and all the dishes came with rice + Tahchin. The rice was delicious! Make sure you add Shirazi Salad and Shallot Yogurt to your order. We ordered: Soltani Kebab w/ Rice $29.99 Vaziri Kebab w/ Rice $22.99 Tehrani Kebab w/ Rice $24.99 Shirazi Salad $6.50 Shallots and Yogurt Dip $6.99

Honestly, this place surprised me! I came in not expecting much, but the food was so good. The…read moredonair/kebab meat was super juicy and flavorful, and the portion size was generous -- definitely worth the price. The poutine was loaded just right with cheese curds and gravy, and it actually tasted homemade instead of that cheap fast-food style. The staff were really friendly and quick, even though it was busy. It's a small spot, but it feels cozy and authentic -- you can tell they care about what they're serving. Perfect for a late-night bite or when you're craving something greasy and satisfying. If you like comfort food with flavor and heart, Grenville Kebab and Poutine hits the spot!

Heading down Granville around 10:30pm, the aroma from this place caught my attention. Two guys were…read morerunning the whole operation. While there weren't any patrons dining in, several phone calls would come in for takeout/delivery orders for which they were busily preparing. I decided on the beef poutine, a samosa, and a bottle of Parsin Aryan. Loud, energetic music filled the restaurant, and one of the guys kept a conversation going with me about my day. The order was completed in a little over 10 minutes which seems normal to me. Honestly, I just enjoyed vibing to their soundtrack. The beef poutine satisfied my craving easily with its rich gravy, tender fries, melty and squeaky curds. The protein was very much the beef you'd find in their gyros, its texture and spices working surprisingly well. The samosa was solid, crunchy shell, flaky texture, and packed with flavor. Trying the Parsin Aryan for the first time, the saltiness caught me by surprise, though it definitely helped with digestion. Because of the sheer volume of food, I ended up saving the rest for the morning. One of the most anticipated leftovers for breakfast I've had in a while.

Even though it was close to closing, this family run business still cooked up an amazing combo platter for me. The combo platter had chicken, kebab, beef, tomatoes over rice. The proteins and tomatoes were perfectly grilled with right amount of char. The meats were tender and juicy. I was only going to eat half and save half for tomorrow, but I ended up eating majority of the entire plate and fell asleep in food coma bliss. 10/10 I would do it again.

I have been to this place in person and also ordered from there twice now and each time the quality…read morehas been fabulous. I can be sometimes skeptical of chicken because it might be served tough but Aria makes it tender and succulent every time. The kebab platters come with a generous quantity of rice, which is great. However, some of the appetizers could be a bit bigger for how much they cost, such as the eggplant or the bolani. The only reason I'm not giving this place a five star is because a lot of their prices are over inflated.

fortunately, the food did not meet expectations in terms of taste. While the presentation was…read moredecent and the portions were fair, the flavors were lacking and the dishes tasted bland overall. Some items were overcooked, while others lacked proper seasoning. It felt like the ingredients weren't very fresh or thoughtfully combined. I appreciate the effort that goes into food preparation, but taste is a key part of the experience, and sadly, this meal missed the mark. I hope improvements can be made, as the menu has potential, but execution needs more attention.

Persian grocery store and ghetto restaurant(?) along Kingsway…read more Parking is available along Kingsway, as well as the side streets. The place is probably more like a grocerty store with a hot food stand attached. Took a quick look and it's definitely for the Middle Eastern market. Staff are friendly. I tried their kebab meal. Pretty tasty. Kebabs were nice and juicy. Served with pita, grilled tomato, hummus, rice, and 2 types of salad (onion and mixed). Portion size was somewhat decent. Definitely hit the spot. There is also a dessert place (La De Dessert) that is run out of the same space. The guy (owner?) gave my buddy and I a chocolate waffle sample. Pretty tasty too, though it was a bit pricey. Overall I'd come back, though there are a few other similar places in the direct vicinity. Recommended.

It was a rainy day, and we had originally tried to go to a different restaurant, but they were completely booked so I suggested this Khaghan restaurant instead since it would be covered parking. Restaurants with covered parking are hard to find on the North Shore. Almost everywhere seems to be outdoor parking. So glad we came here. Food was awesome! My mom said her chicken was very moist, and I could kind of tell just by looking at it that it was indeed moist. My daughter had kebab dish that came with a combination of chicken and beef. She brought half of it home and when my husband tried the leftovers he was really impressed with it. He said there was some kind of truffle flavor in the meat. The dishes are beautifully presented too. I love the contrast of the yellow rice on top and white rice on the bottom. The yellow rice has a hard, crunchy surface on it. I've read a few persian recipes online and I think that's called Tahdig...or something like that. My one complaint...I asked for the Gheyme & Eggplants dish to be made vegetarian for me. When my dish came to me, it was meat free but I couldn't see or taste any eggplant in the dish. Just lots of yellow split peas in my dish. I think what they gave me was just Vegetarian Gheyme Stew but not Gheyme & Eggplants. I didn't care to complain about it in the restaurant. The food was still very good. I enjoyed the dish very much and ate every last bite of it. I hope next time though that they will get my order right so that I can try the eggplant. The eggplant is the part I was really after.

Absolutely dynamite!!! Crispy, cheesy, and addictive. My dish: Alinazik Kebab - Grilled lamb over sauced grilled eggplant and yogurt, served with salad and bread. The lamb was insanely flavourful and delicious. I wasn't a fan of the mashed eggplant though (which surprised me because I usually love eggplant). It was okay, just not my thing this time. My husband's dish: Ground Beef Pide - Savoury flatbread topped with seasoned ground beef, fresh herbs, and sesame seeds. This was excellent -- super tasty and satisfying. My son's drink: Ayran - A traditional salty yogurt drink with mint. Not a hit with him Too salty and sour for his taste, but we appreciated the experience of trying something new. The servers kindly brought him a Coke instead and didn't charge us, which was really nice. My son's dinner: Adana Kebab (spicy) - Skewered spicy ground beef with rice, bulgur, salad, and bread. Fantastic!!! The beef was fresh and flavourful, and the rice and bulgur were soooo good. Service & atmosphere: It was pretty packed for Valentine's Day, so service was a bit hit and miss and slower than usual -- but totally understandable. The atmosphere made up for it, especially with the live Turkish music. It genuinely felt like being on vacation for the night, and I loved that feeling. Overall: Definitely worth the wait. Great food, great vibes, and a fun dining experience for the whole family.

Huge restaurant, looks like they host wedding/event from looking at the other reviews. On a Thursday night, only 3 tables were filled, so majority of the restaurant is empty. Service was friendly, tad bit slower and difficult to flag them down because of the large space but we weren't in a rush so that's okay. Free parking in a lot on the side. Quite a few spaces.

We ordered a kebab meat platter and it definitely delivers on portion size. The standout for me was the grilled meats, especially the lamb chops and chicken kebabs. They were well-seasoned, nicely charred, and not dry (which is where a lot of places miss the mark). The rice was fragrant and paired well with everything, though pretty standard. Service was good. The atmosphere leans traditional and a bit dated, but it fits the vibe of the place. Overall: worth going for if you're craving grilled meats and a filling meal, just don't expect anything particularly refined. It's about comfort food and generous portions.

This was my first time visiting the restaurant, and the food and service were both excellent. Looking forward to my next return. My friend and I decided the Horseman Specialty Platter which serves 2 people. We started with the Humous (yellow split pea), Sabzi Mast (spinach & yogurt dip), pita bread and a salad with cucumbers, red onions, tomatoes and feta cheese. The platter was filled with a delicious rice, baked eggplant, potatoes and 3 meats (chicken kebab, Lamb Shish Kebab, Lamb Shoulder Chop). We couldn't finish as there was so much food, so took some home. We finished with Pistachio Ice Cream (pistachio, saffron & rosewater) and it was rich and delicate and a perfect ending. Once of the best I had in town. Décor is tradition and relaxing. You can ask for the traditional floor seating or table. Reservation recommended but was can early and they were able to accommodate us. Free mall complex parking but ensure you register. Many metered parking on the streets within 2-3 block radius. The #50 bus stopped right in front of the restaurant.
