On a real whim moment - a friend I was going into town with was carrying on past this joint & said - hey you have to try this Doner - it's good. Oh why not - I said. I popped in & walked around checking out the setup & noticed the freshness & cleanliness right away. I like the decor as well - neat high tables & wood finishing. DS is still a baby - having just opened up 3 months ago. I met the boss & we chatted up a storm. He's a cool guy who's been in Vancouver for over 10 years - originally from Turkey! Ok - you had me at Turkey!!! He recommended the chicken Doner & wow oh wow did this taste of heaven go down or what. The tender halal chicken & Tabouli salad & ingredients as well as added sauces including hot sauce - Mama Mia!!! Heads up for anyone popping in over the next few weeks - the boss has plans for Kebabs & is strategizing how to work in a new grill etc etc. He's real excited about this venture & said I have to come back at the end of February when he hopes to have completed setting up. Sounds awesome - I will definitely be going back! Oh make sure that when you go to DS - show boss the picture of my Doner & tell him to grill it exactly like in the pic!!! You won't be disappointed!

I had the chicken rice plate and it was good. The portion was decent (huge if you are not hungry)…read more It was filled with plenty of fresh veggies, including eggplant. Yums. The chicken doner was one of the best I had so far. It was flavorful on its own, with a slight crisp on the edges of the meat. It was not dry and was just right. I got to try several of the sauces and my favorite would be the garlic tzatziki and the cilantro. I didn't really like the doner sauce which was essentially ketchup, mayo and mustard. It was too rich for me. It is a self serve place, where you place the order and then wait to pick up the food. Feta cheese was extra cost which was not stated up front when the staff asked if I want it. That is a bit sneaky I feel.

Both were really good. Lots of filling and I like the sauce. The wrap is crispy. I was basically full from eating half of it so the price is really affordable since it's two meals for me. Reheated at home in the air fryer. Definitely a good spot for lunch with good value for the price.

The Saj Chicken is a crazy good grilled roll (like a thin burrito) of chicken and peppers served on a bed of fries with a side of garlic tahini sauce. This was a home run. We also got the chicken shawarma platter that came with rice, hummus, pita, salad, and pickles. Everything went well together when building a bite, but I gotta tell ya... Those pickles were awesome. All in it was sub $40 CAD, and very much worth it.

i dropped by aladdin a little after 7:00 pm on a friday. dinner plans had fallen through and my…read morepartner was running late, so i decided on something simple and easy to grab to go. it's a middle eastern restaurant located at 615 robson street, at seymour. inside, the shop is tiny, bright, and set up like a cafeteria. the dining area has just a handful of tables, clearly meant for quick meals rather than lingering. neutral tile floors, simple black tables, and a glass display counter give it a clean, efficient feel. framed foreign currencies line one wall alongside a flat screen tv, reinforcing the sense of a long running, no frills neighbourhood spot. everything looks well kept and geared toward steady takeout traffic. i ordered the lamb shawarma platter, which came with marinated slices of lamb cooked on a flat top griddle, yellow rice, a potato, and a salad of shredded carrots, red onions, cucumbers, beets, and pickles on shredded lettuce with dressing. it also included garlic sauce, hummus, and two slices of pita. watching the food being prepared offered an early clue to what went wrong. a small mound of shaved lamb sat alone on the flat top, lightly steaming but looking pale and already overworked, with no visible basting or buildup of juices. unfortunately, that carried through to the plate. the lamb was dry and lacked the richness you hope for, which took away from an otherwise solid lineup of sides and sauces. with better quality cuts of meat and a bit more care on the grill, this could have been a dependable go to, but as it stood, the main component missed the mark.

Portion sizes were generous, perfect for sharing or taking home leftovers. From the perfectly seasoned kebabs to the aromatic rice and stews, everything tasted homemade and deeply satisfying. If you're a fan of Persian cuisine--or curious to try it--this place is a must. Great food and great value. I didn't like the outdoor seating as the tables weren't level, and the road noise was too much for my liking. Next time we will sit and enjoy the indoor dining area, but it is nice to have indoor/ outdoor options.

Pro tip: if you…read moreplan on eating this at the beach, know that it can be messy and their portions are huge so it's not the easiest beach side snack. Having said that, it is definitely worth it! I got their salad bowl with mixed meat (chicken, lamb, and beef). They have many salad options but if you don't specify which one you want, they will just give you their usual salad. I opted for their greek feta salad. They have a dine-in space but this place is mostly for take out. Their service was pretty fast and they were very busy (it's summer time in Vancouver so makes sense). Their menu is huge and they have lots to try from. I'll definitely come back again and maybe get a wrap to eat at the beach instead. Out of the 3 meats I got, I would say their beef was my favourite - it had a lot of flavour.

FIFA world cup started and we wanted to have a dinner at restaurant on the Granville street…read more Granville street was crazy busy before Australia vs Turkey game. There were crowds of people outside of restaurant. We had a reservation at patio. We had a reservation for patio section. When we arrived , manager said restaurant could not control customer who stayed at patio because of world cup crowds. I totally understand the situation, it was unusually busy event day, however, we hope restaurant should remove patio reservation from the booking system during event time. We had Chicken wings, calamari and Lamb shoulder tacos and watched Haiti vs Scotland game. There was no TV outside, so, it turned out to be positive since we could watch another game. Chicken wings were just ok, ordinary. Lamb shoulder tacos was ok, but, flavor was a bit too strong. Calamari was the best dish. Very crispy and crunchy, I would order again.
