Return or not return?…read more Return, but.... Had combo plate, chicken bowl, schwarma pide. Liked both the meat and chicken, but rest of family thought the chicken was too dry. Other issue with chicken is it had skin and chunks of fat that detracted from the experience. Disliked the fact they charged to have sauce on the side vs in the food. Not cool. Menu also confusing between a platter and bowl. I was confused and literally a minute later another customer came in and asked the same question I did. What's the difference? Garlic sauce a little runny, but good. Liked their hot sauce. It's very vinegar-y and hot all at once. Pricing a bit on high side, but then again it's Vancouver.

They were late setting up brunch and the waitress dropped a dirty napkin in my lap while she was clumsily cleaning our table. We also had to ask for some items several times before they were brought to our table. My friend asked for a side of onions and wasn't told there would be an additional charge on the bill for those.

Tasty Middle Eastern place on Kingsway…read more Parking is available on Kingsway, as well as the side streets. The place is pretty bare bones. Grey walls, and a TV. The place is set up more for takeout, and gets pretty busy around dinner time. Staff are friendly. No complaints. The portion sizes here are surprisingly large. They use takeout containers, but they pile the food up real nice. Buddy and I were both pleasantly surprised. Special mention. The lamb shawarma was pretty tasty. Served with regular salad (lettuce), a pile of tabbouleh (parsley salad), other toppings such as pickles and jalapenos, and some pita and hummus. I did not leave hungry. Great value, great price. I would definitely come back at some point. Recommended.

Stumbled across this place randomly. This place serves a surprisingly high variety of food…read more Parking is available on Kingsway, as well as the side streets. I thought it was a burger place befoer looking at the menu. They do fish & chips, salads, wraps, burgers, burritos, fried chicken, and fries. This is pretty impressive I must say. Special mention. I just stood there and stared. The menu boards inside the restaurant run the entire length of the counter. Staff are friendly, though the ordering is quite slow. As Andrew M mentioned, the layout is indeed quite inefficient. There are only 4 small tables (8 seats total) for the entire place, along a wall. The rest of it is one giant kitchen. Best to do takeout to be honest. The fish and chips were pretty decent, but quite pricy. Not great value. Fries were honestly quite mediocre. I'd stick to the cheaper items such as wraps or burgers. Wouldn't mind coming back to try some of the other stuff at some point.

As an avid foodie, let me break down all the hits, misses, and support…read more 1) Fresh: everything is freshly made to order (eg fries, burger), else held in a proper temp hold w Staub pots. They're the best & extremely expensive. Chef knows his hold temps too! See pics. OMG I saw someone order falafel plate and they got huge, made to order falafel!!! My next visit is this!!! 2) Clean: The whole restaurant was clean (minus the table behind us who left). Nice open kitchen so you can see everything. I don't know if chef will kill me, but he offered us the staff-only handwashing station bc we came in filthy after a day of gardening. I don't know if this is offered to every guest. But people need clean hands & a toilet. This is why you won't get above 4* 3) Food: Chef offered me if I didn't love his recommendation, he would pay double. I ate 1 bite and told him to keep his $$. He offered me the Crunchy Chicken Wrap. It's SOOOO loaded w chicken & huge, made 2 meals for me. But next time I really want spicy chicken, or Angry fish. 4) Place: I give the place 3.5 stars...only bc there's only 8 seats (very busy), and no toilet. I was happy chef let us wash our hands but I think this was a one off. People need a place to wash their hands, despite staff only areas. Also people like to go to the bathroom when they're dining in. 5) Parking: you can park out back: they share space w Beefway, or park along Kingsway off hours. Chef was so communicative & generous in my order. My friend got the double burger, and we shared chili fries. Everything was top tier, even the chili fries. Just not chilli: just spiced beef crumble. But to all the fries haters who posted: you are SOOO off! These were twice fried fries (crispy outside, soft inside), plus the spicy dust is amazing! Edit: Downlow fries have better dust. Also...good sign: we came in about 10:15pm...they close midnight. They were packed with in-house diners, delivery drivers, and their own website delivery.

I've come here before when the previous owners owned it and before it went through a slight name change and complete menu/staff change, it's improved such a huge amount, the food now has so many great flavors (the lamb shoulder and the chicken souvlaki are must haves) and the place is clean, I was shocked there was actually toilet paper in the bathroom without having to ask.
