The appetizer with the dips is definitely the highlight. We had the three sampler. The bread is fresh and warm. My favourite is the eggplant dip and yoghurt dip where my cousin really enjoyed the hummus and eggplants. We had stake and lamb skewer. I personally don't like the lamb taste even though it's well cooked it still feels very lambish. I really enjoyed the steak one.
Did you know they have an amazing happy hour??? I feel like it's a hidden gem because there's hardly anyone there, but their happy hour (3-6) as well as their daily specials are a fantastic deal!! Their food is also amazing and the portions are honestly huge, like you can't finish a whole entree yourself. Delicious too!! Also the drinks are amazing! They put strawberries in their mimosas and the One Night in Tehran cocktail is fantastic! And please leave room for desert because their saffron ice cream is amazing!! They also have a beautiful room and a fantastic patio with lots of seating as well. Their staff is always warm and super kind and welcoming. If you've never been here before, go!!! If you've been but never tried their happy hour, I definitely recommend it!!!
Cazba is a place to go for Persian food. Here with friends for dinner and great atmosphere. TV available for watch sports and spacious. Great for groups too. Some free parking spots available behind the restaurant. Meter street parking available also available too. Had the Loghmeh Vaziri and it was yummy. The waitress attending to us was available and always seeing if help is needed with refill for water.
My family and I stumbled upon Cazba (on Davie St.) when we were walking back to our hotel with a huge crowd of people after a big fireworks show at English Bay late one night. Luckily, Cazba is open late on Saturdays and it wasn't crowded like the other smaller restaurants in the area. We ordered the "Cazba Feast" combo platter, which comes with a variety of meats and grilled vegetables, three salads, basmati rice and it feeds 5-6 people. We're a family of five and we were starving due to a lack of food since lunch. So, the Cazba Feast was just the right amount of food to satisfy our hunger. The food was served promptly and everything was fresh and delicious. In our opinion, it's the best Persian food we've ever eaten and we're Asians from the Los Angeles / So Cal area. The servers were friendly and helpful, even though it was late at the end of the night. We asked for some hummus to go with the pita bread and our waitress happily gave us some and we weren't charged for it. =) The restaurant was nicely decorated with Middle Eastern accents. There's ample seating indoors and outdoors in the patio and there's even a small bar area inside. As an added bonus, the bathrooms were clean too. If you're looking for fresh, delicious Persian food in a casual, pleasant setting with excellent service, you should definitely check out Cazba! =)
An awesome experience to our amazing first day in Vancouver! The food was fresh, yummy and great portion. The sever was generous to let us taste the yogurt drink and then order. A very cozy place, friendly staff and a nice place to hang out with friends.
We have 2 Mediterranean food restaurants back home that we've tried and this place blows them out of the water. We made reservations for 630 but got there around 500 as our touristy activities gave us more time. We asked if we could squeeze in and they accommodated us, no problem. Service was great, food came quick and we realized very quickly that we ordered too much. Lol All the meats were soft and juicy and so so flavorful. Delicious!
YESSSS! FINALLY!...... A decent Persian food restaurant near me that doesn't require me to remortgage my house just to eat there. The interior....clean, airy, bright and inviting. The service.....attentive, friendly and welcoming. Now....as for the food: My biggest pet peeve when dining out is when the food is warm or cold. Unless I'm ordering a salad, I want my food to be steaming when it arrives. The last couple of times when dining at other Persian restaurants, the food was cooked great but somehow was served almost stone cold. With Cazba downtown it was not only served hot (the way it should be), but it was beautifully seasoned. The koobideh was a bit dry, but forgivable considering everything else was so delicious. The chicken was very tasty. It had that smokey, grilled taste you'd only expect from a great bbq job and the inside was tender and juicy. The Persian rice was great quality and cooked just right. The Ghorme Sabzi was also lovely. Really enjoyed both dishes! What really stood out for me though was just that extra effort that was put in by the lovely wait staff. So, I always have sparkling water with every meal and usually I'm served just the bottle with a glass. I have to ask for the ice. I have to ask for the lemon and I have to ask for the straw. With Cazba downtown, I didn't have to ask for anything. My sparkling water came in a beautiful glass with ice and a slice of lemon and lime and an enviro-friendly straw (see pic.) Details, Details, Details.....loved the attention and effort. Thank you for the great lunch experience. Will be back for sure.
We love Cazba in north Vancouver but this time we decided to give this branch a try. We had a big group but they had a couple of servers helping our table and everything was fast and quick. For appetizers we wanted to order the tahdig (crispy bread) with stew but they didn't have any so we opted for a couple of their appz with eggplant. They were both super delicious. If you've never had eggplant give either mirza ghasemi or kaske bademjoon a try! I ordered the Loghme soltani which is a skewer of beef steak and a skewer of ground beef & lamp kebab. The food came on a beautiful platter and was juicy and delicious. The brag (steak) was a little tough but not too bad overall. Great food and great service and we left happy and full.
I got a chicken and beef/lamb mix combo. (20 bucks) Overall the meat and rice are very well done. Service and atmosphere of the place were pretty good. Reason I gave 4 star is the bbq tomato's, it's nice and char on the outside but not soft on the inside , it takes some effort to cut it with knife and it doesn't melt like it should. It may sound picky but that's how I like my tomato's at Persian places.
Good food and reasonable prices in the heart of Davie. One thing nice about eating at a place with a large group is in one swoop you can try a lot of dishes. On this visit we got the eggplant appitizors and those grape leaf things and loved them. The main dishes of grilled meats and the various stews all hit the spot making for a very flavorul and filling lunch. Service is also excellent. A lot of food choices on this street and in the past i missed this one much to my regret. We will be back next time we visit.
Tasty Persian place with a nice large patio in the middle of Davie Village. Parking is available behind the building (just a few spots) as well as some free spots on the surrounding streets. Yes there is free parking around here. The venue is quite large. There is a somewhat small indoor area, with the large patio (larger than the indoor area) in front, and a long narrow patio on the side. Staff were friendly. Doogh - surprisingly tasty. Think of it as plain yogurt with salt and mint mixed in. Yeah it sounds weird and borderline gross. Once I got over it, wow this drink sure is refreshing. In fact I recommend trying this drink at least once for the authentic Persian experience. This place has a bottled (outside source) one as well an in-house one. I had the latter. Mirza ghasemi - grilled eggplant and tomato dip with naan. Great for sharing. Quite tasty. Shishlik - 6 pieces of lamb chops. Quite tasty. Normally comes with the usual pile of saffron rice. I opted for a salad substitution (1/2 rice, half salad) for $2 more. The Persian salad is really sour (similar to Greek style). Just a heads up. Food is a wee bit pricey, but this is downtown after all. And the portion size was quite nice. Good to know that there are alternatives to falafels along the stretch of Davie. I will be back at some point. Recommended.

**Will not honour valid gift cards** Have been a customer for many years. Recently, found some gift cards I purchased awhile back and went with my boyfriend for lunch at the Cazba Davie location to redeem the gift cards on December 29, 2025. Long story short, they refused to honour the gift cards because they "changed their computer system" and said the gift cards therefore expire and cannot be used. I told them that the terms and conditions of the gift card literally states to use the gift card like "cash" and according to BC laws that gift cards are not allowed to be expired unless in very specific circumstances, which does not include a system change. Eventually, their general manager, Mr. Behruz Sigari, spoke to me on the phone and promised that he would call Moneris to find out my gift card balance and then contact me with a resolution soon. I left with his email (b.sigari@gmail.com) and emailed him twice but he has never replied. Clearly, they are willing to engaged in unethical and illegal business practices stealing funds from customers even when educated about gift card laws. I have since reported them to Consumer Protection BC and will never be a customer of their's for their lies and horrible treatment. Lesson learned: always use your gift cards as soon as you can. read more

Insanely tasty happy hour! We were staying across the street at The Sandman and wandered into The Cazba for an early dinner. It turned out to be the meal of the trip. We started with Kashke Bademjan - an insanely delicious eggplant dip served with Barbari (a leavened flatbread) and Shashlik (mini lamb chops), and followed by Mini Loghmeh (minced beef/lamb kebab). We also had Koobideh wraps (kebabs, onions, & spices in lavash wraps) which we took back to the room b/c there was so much food! Many "yummy noises" were made during this meal! Truely a culinary delight. Service was friendly and attentive. read more

After some shopping downtown, me and the wife were hungry so we were deciding what and where to eat. We remembered a recommendation from a very good friend of ours..so off we went to Cazba in the west end! bonus: the have free parking in the rear! Unheard of in vancouver dt. So we ordered the traditional chicken breast skewer and the ground beef skewers. Both were exceptionally good! Chicken was tender and succulent. Grilled to perfection. Not dry. Nice charcoal smokiness and the yogurt marinade comes thru. The beef was equally good. Nothing to complain about. Was better than some established persian places. The saffron rice for both could use a little bit more kick and aromatics, but still good. I took away 1 star bec service sucked and we were not offered any discount or free dessert. We waiting 45 mins to get our food from the time we ordered. When i inquired whats the delay? I was told its because there are many phone in orders. Well, thats not exactly my fault, is it? We were dine in customers so you'd think we should be getting priority. But they just shrugged their shoulders. Would i go back? Maybe for lunch for the lunch specials and a not so busy time. Or maybe take out as they seem to prioritize that end of the service. Cheers! happy eating! read more

Hello friends! I tried out a new type of cuisine a couple weeks ago and I'm so excited to share all about it with you all! I would like to think that I'm pretty adventurous when it comes to trying out new types of food but it's been a while since I've really ventured out there. So here's me trying some Persian cuisine at Cazba restaurant! Every time we go to Coquitlam Centre, Grayson always gets food from the Cazba stand in the food court so he was excited for us to go to the brick and mortar spot in North Vancouver. The menu is definitely more extensive at the restaurant location in comparison to the food court shop. I liked that we were able to choose from a wide variety of items since the food court shops mostly focus on kebab items. Once we were seated, we were given a giant piece of bread. I've never had Persian bread before! It was as thin as flat bread with airy-ness to it. It was served with butter and a raw onion. I wasn't a fan of the onion part so I just had it on it's own. Although Grayson always gets the kebabs in Coquitlam, I've never had it before so we decided to get The Vaziri which came with a ground beef kebab, a chicken breast kebab, rice and a grilled tomato. The chicken kebab was nice and juicy even though it was chicken breast meat. It had turmeric in the seasoning to give it a nice yellow colour and spices to make it flavourful. The ground meat kebab was not as flavourful in my opinion but just as juicy. One of my favourite parts about the dish was the grilled tomato. It was nicely charred and added a nice smokiness to the dish. read more
Great taste and great service, reasonable prices. We ordered the cazba platter which comes with 3 kinds of meet, rice and a salad. We also had tahdig and dourgh. We loved the food and the platter was enough for 2, not sure about 3. The dourgh was delicious too! Our waiter was super nice and helpful and gave us ideas for areas to visit to checkout Christmas decorations. Some cons: - parking, they have only few spots in their lot and people just wait in their cars for someone to leave. Otherwise street parking is 5$/hr outside. - it was busy when we got there and the only tables available were by the door which is like an extension of the restaurant, where there is no heating, it was pretty cold and had to wear our outside jackets. Despite that I recommend it and I'll definitely go back. read more

I've been to the North Vancouver location many times, but this was my first time to the downtown location. We ordered a Tahdeeg (crispy bottom layer of rice) to share, and I ordered a Logmeh Soltani - one Logmeh (ground beef/lamb kabob) and one Barg (tenderized beef steak). I also tried some of my wife's Koobideh (ground beef kabob) and Jujeh (boneless chicken). Just like at the North Vancouver location, each skewer was delicious - meaty flavor, juicy, and cooked perfectly. My preferred method is to get a bit of meat, a bit of rice, and a bit of grilled tomato in each bite. There was way too much food on my plate, so I ended up taking the leftovers home and had an awesome lunch the next day. Persian food is the food that keeps giving! read more

Ordered the hummus and the mirza ghasemi. Portions were okay, and prices are not too unreasonable, but the food was bad. Hummus and pita (0/5) The hummus tasted really weird and unlike any hummus I've ever tried before. I don't know what the taste is but it was pretty disgusting. I couldn't handle more than a couple bites. Mirza Ghasemi (0.5/5) The mirza ghasemi I could at least choke down, but it tasted super salty and the tomatoes tasted like they came out of a can. Super disappointing experience. I don't recommend eating here. read more

The staff is quite nice here, however the food is terrible. I ordered a Baghali Polo priced at $16.99 before tax. The lamb shank and the gravy were at different temperatures, the gravy was much warmer than the meat. This prompted me to ask if the food was microwaved, and it was. The lamb was apparently prepared in the morning (8PM right now) and was reheated. It looked like something that come out of a ready-to-eat bag. The only fresh meat on the entire menu was the kebabs, as told to me by our server. read more
