However, the inside of this restaurant doesn't look like what's pictured in other Yelp photos. There's a lot of empty space, neutral colours and just looks drab. Although it was dinner time we were the only ones there, so it felt a bit awkward. The menu was different that what's offered online so we asked the server a lot of questions and she was friendly. We ordered the lamb shank and kofta (Iraqi kebab). Each dish comes with your choice of rice or salad. We chose rice (the server informed us that rice will come with a bit of salad, but if you choose salad it won't come with any rice). We liked the spices that they used and the meat was so flavourful.

Interesting all-vegan Egyptian menu; however, the bowl I got was fairly ordinary and uninspired,…read morebut satisfying enough. I ordered their "Athens Bowl" through DoorDash, which features baked cauliflower and baked eggplant, on top of a mishmash of various carbs (lentils, chickpeas, white rice, and white macaroni), served with some crispy onions, tomato sauce, and Dakka dressing (a tangy, vinegary, lemony sauce). The order was ready for pick-up when I requested (you have to call them since they don't have a store front) - no issues there. The cauliflower and eggplant were certainly great, but the rest of the bowl is pretty uninspired and lacklustre. It's basically just mixed heavy carbs, made slightly more interesting by the tomato sauce. The hot sauce that's included is very vinegary and not all that complex. Maybe I'll try some of their non-bowl items. As experienced, I wouldn't order the bowl again, but I like their concept and their varied menu.

They add their signature twist, loaded with plant-based proteins and Mediterranean flavours. We tried the Cairo bowl which was a delicious mix of white rice, vermicelli, macaroni, green lentils, fried onions with a tomato sauce on the side. The Hummus and Babaganoush were both delicious. We had it delivered via Door Dash and was impressed with the presentation (pictured). Will be ordering again! Already looking forward to it.

It wasn't overly salty like at the other places we've gone to. The hummus was creamy and flavorful.

I had been to this restaurant a couple of times in the past, many years ago, and we had ordered…read moretakeout food from this place 2-3 times during the pandemic. The food here is soooo good. It's especially good if you have a group of people dining with you. That way you can share different dishes and enjoy lots of different flavors. The Mixed Plate is especially good for that. I have seen from their menu online that they also offer something called Padisha's Table which requires a minimum of 4 adults ordering it, and costs $36 per person. For this visit we had the following: Beyti Sarma Small Mixed Plate Cheese Lovers Pide Lamb Durum Wrap Veggie Guvech Turkish Coffee Turkish Tea The Small Mixed Plate came with a humungous slab of lavash bread! It was crazy how big this piece of bread was. We were a group of 5 people and this Small Mixed Plate by itself could have been our lunch. It was such a huge piece of bread. Sooo good though. They baked it in the oven until it got all nice and puffy, and it came to our table piping hot. I always enjoy this Mixed Plate starter. It comes with such a nice variety of dips. My absolute favorite dip though is the Baba Ghannush. I think next time I eat at this restaurant, I will add on a separate order of the Baba Ghannush so I enjoy more of it than what comes in the Mixed Plate starter! I loved my Veggie Guvech. The veggies were roasted and baked to perfection. I'm someone who likes my food soft, so I was happy to find that the veggies in this dish were nice and soft. The menu description says that this dish comes with Lavash. I didn't see any more Lavash bread come other than the huge slab that came with our Small Mixed Plate. Perhaps they did this on purpose though. The one huge piece of bread is equivalent to several smaller pieces that you might get in other restaurants. I certainly didn't need anything more than the huge piece of bread we'd already been served, so was very glad not to see anything else come with my Veggie Guvech. If you're a cheese love, you can't go wrong with the Cheese Lovers Pide. It's our daughter's "go to" dish when we order from this restaurant. She really loves her cheese! The people who ordered Lamb Durum Wrap said the lamb inside their wraps was very moist and tender. I do recall also hearing good things about lamb dishes from this restaurant in the past, when we ordered takeout from them. The Turkish Coffee and Tea come in some beautifully designed cups. I have travelled to Turkey in the past and enjoyed a hot apple tea in a Turkish Tea cup. The cup that was used here was very much like the cup I drank from in Turkey. I never had coffee when I was in Turkey, but judging from how unique the design of the cup here was, it's probably a very traditional design for a Turkish coffee cup since the Turkish Tea cup was just like the ones I saw in Turkey. Highly recommend this place! There aren't a lot of Turkish restaurants within Metro Vancouver. This place is an absolute gem!

The menu has a selection of middle eastern cafe standards plus a few unusual choices. You'll find gyros,falafel fries and more. There are lots of vegetarian choices as well as dishes to please the carnivore crowd. I went with something I've never seen offered anywhere else a falafel and eggplant sandwich. It was an absolute delight in every way. It came on a pita with tahini, fresh lettuce and tomato plus some pickles. I'm sure I'll have to come back at some point bc I'll be craving it. The space was very clean, spacious and bright. We were the only ones in there today and it was pleasantly quiet aside from some soft music. Prices seemed appropriate for what we got. Affordable but not super cheap. I can't wait to go back!

Order at the counter and food is brought to your table. Modern, clean, dining area, with about 10 tables for seating. Sadly the food was underwhelming. The lamb was bland and soft with no seasoning. The tzatziki sauce was similar. The best thing was the Mediterranean dressing and pita bread. The lentil soup was also bland, needing some spicing up. Overall, it was edible. Acropolis in Kirkland and Kafe Neo in Mill Creek are more our choice.

I said it was "for…read morehere" so he served it to me a round bowl shaped container whereas last time it was given to me in a rectangular shaped take out container that could close up if I had leftovers and wanted to take it home. He did ask me though if I wanted a lid for my round container. I declined as I was quite hungry and had a feeling I was going to finish the entire dish...which I did indeed end up doing. The tomato sauce was automatically poured onto the food this time, and whereas last time I was given two small containers with two different sauces, one of them being spicy...this time, the guy asked if I'd like spicy or non spicy. I said non spicy so I was only given one sauce this time, which was the tangy sauce. Food was just as good as last time. I saw something on the menu that said "Egyptian Specials". I might take a closer look at that next time. As far as I know, Koshari is the national dish of Egypt but if there's another typically Egyptian dish that I can try, I am always up for trying new things! Wish there more options like this around town. Egyptian food is really not a common type of cuisine to come across around here, so this place is a real gem!
