We got a few items to share: lamb shank with rice and the makanek and kashkaval manoushe. The lamb shank with rice, side salad and came with their signature pita bread along with the 4 dips: garlic, hummus, yogurt and baba ghanouj. The portion size was good and the food was delicious. I really like their manoushe. It goes well with the dip. The food was made fresh upon ordering.

This place has been highly recommended to me years ago and even now, people still speak highly of…read morethe donair. I think they are known for the Halifax donair or at least it comes very close to it. I first tried the donair several years ago and remembered it as very big. Taste wise, it was ok. It used to be a bigger place with dine in area. Now it's half the size with only a take out window. We ordered the large rice platter with chicken. It came with a can of pop for $16.50. Portion was good, enough for 2 small eaters or two small meals. I was initially disappointed to see white rice as other places version were with dill or yellow spiced rice. But the white rice was not bland, it was very flavorful and went really well with the meat and sauces. I liked how we were given pieces of chicken which were nicely charred on the edges. Not dry at all. I will get the rice platter again. Maybe I'll give the donair another try in future.

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.

Food was good, but it was too expensive for what I had. Nothing too memorable. Portion is on the smaller side. I'd rather go to another Donair place or go to Chipotle instead.!

My husband wanted to try the new Shiok Express stall that had recently opened up in the Lougheed…read moremall food court, so we went to have lunch there together. The menu at Shiok Express is limited and heavy on meat, which doesn't work so well for me as I'm Pescatarian. Consequently, we made a stop at Golden Pita just outside Lougheed Mall so that I could grab something there for my lunch while my husband would eat food from Shiok Express. It's a small restaurant but there are a few tables there if you'd like to sit and eat there. They've got one of those things that stands upright and rotates while holding a big chunk of meat on it. That's something I used to enjoy back when I was a meat eater. It definitely caught my husband's eye. If he hadn't already been set on eat at Shiok Express that day, I think he would have ordered some kind of meat dish from Golden Pita, so he could have the meat carved freshly from that rotating thingy...(I really need to figure out the proper word for that thingy!) I ordered the Vegan Special which came with 3 pieces of falafel, a spinach pie, stuffed grape leaf, tabbouleh salad, rice, pita bread and hummus and tahini dips. This was a wonderful meal and I highly recommend it. Even the rice was tasty. This one order gives you so much variety. The only thing I didn't like was the tabbouleh salad. There was too much parsley in this salad. Everything else was delicious and I really hope to go back there again sometime! Service: Fair Parking: Plentiful and free. Location: Convenient. Lots of shops and places to eat both at Lougheed Mall and in the surrounding area.

Such a hidden gem in Port Moody!…read more Koshari Zooba is the first Egyptian restaurant in the Vancouver area and it's absolutely worth the visit The food was full of flavor, texture, and heart -- you can really taste the love in every bite. We tried the Koshari Beef Liver Multigrains Bowl and the Koshari Chicken Shawarma Bowl -- both were delicious! Each bowl had rice, pasta, lentils, chickpeas, and a tangy garlic-lemon vinaigrette with tomato sauce, all topped with that perfect drizzle of tahini and pomegranate. Traditionally Koshari is vegetarian, but I loved that they offer creative twists like beef liver and shawarma for something new! We also had the Barbican Raspberry (non-alcoholic) and it was bubbly, fruity, and refreshing -- the perfect pairing. The owners are super friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere feels cozy and authentic. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in Port Moody or just looking to try something unique and delicious!
