The fatayer, lachma b'ajeen, ma'amoul, my personal favorite graibe are all here baked on the premises. He has a sublime looking knaifeh and baklawas. Small place but full of brilliant Syrian and Middle Eastern delights. The ma'amoul he makes are better than mine per my husband. Definitely recommended.

While staying in Vancouver, we had a craving for halal food, especially desi…read more From Skytrain to buses we finally came across al medina restaurant. Apparently it is newly renovated and open 7 days a week until 11:30pm. Their menu offers different types of pizza as well as AUTHENTIC indian/pakistani food. They also have chicken wings and kulfi for dessert. The minute we walked in we were greeted and seated and given enough time to read through the menu. They also have an area to read prayers. The chicken karahi and chickar cholay were GREAT. You can tell these owners know their desi food. We did not taste the pizza but I'm almost positive it's delicious as well. Their naan also arrives fresh, piping hot. This was one of the best halal restaurants i've ever been to. friendly owners, clean restaurant and fantastic service. Highly recommend to Surrey locals and any muslims visiting the vancouver area. It takes about 45 mins via public transportation but it is WELL worth it. will def revisit if ever in the area gain.

I definitely could have taken half home and still be full. The plate comes with chicken shawarma on rice with a pita/saj, and Tzatziki sauce, salad, and hummus. The chicken and rice were flavourful! But the chicken was too dry for my soft mouth. Hummus had a little too much olive oil for my taste (at first bite it tasted like I was eating actual olives, which I don't like) but was overall creamy. I didn't like the salad or Tzatziki sauce but that's just my flavour profile! The salad itself was really fresh and vibrant and Tzatziki sauce is probably as normal. Service is much like a food court. Self-serve, self-seat, no water provided. It's a small restaurant with around six tables.

After I ordered my chicken shawarma plate, the counter guy was just walking around inside of counter. Other lady was preparing my Baba ganoush in the kitchen area. It took 5 mins finally he STARTED to prepare my meal. So strange. Food was good. The rice, pilaf had good broth flavour. But not like dull rice, it's simple pilaf. Hamus was very very creamy. Entrance is back door. Front door which is facing to 152nd street is only exit. That makes sense because their parking is back door side.

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.

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.

It's hands down my favorite and makes a great taco shell! We got the Adnan kebab, lamb shank, and some eggplant appetizer, and had no room for any dessert, unfortunately. I would 200% order everything again, but would also ensure I hadn't eaten in days so I could eat more. The meat was very flavorful and tender - no dry meat here! The only things I might say could use some addressing is that the service is pretty slow - only got my water glass filled once - and the music was LOUD. Otherwise, it was a really nice dinner and I appreciated the decor and ambiance. Note - it is dry restaurant, but the food is so good, you won't even miss the booze.

I also don't like they go cheaper and use dark meat chicken on Kabobs. If you request white meat its not marinated and just what you'd get in a basic chicken sandwich. Dips dont all have a fresh and light taste and sone seem to be localized for western tastes. Breakfast hiurs have been reduced and Im not a big fan of the filler items on the plate like peanut butter, Nutella, Jelly, & etc. Honey is good though. Breads, bulgar, and desserts are nicely done, atmosphere is still nice, and service is generally good. Not enough foods coming off high quality and high authenticity. Mixed feelings and not very wowed last time and won't rush back. The dark meat chicken in kabobs is a real show stopper for me.
