Always a fan of the boulani and this time the stars of the meal for me were the Creamy Mushroom & Eggplant and the Lamb Curry. The service was great and it was a positive food experience.

I'd browsed through the Chickpea website a few times already and I'd had my eye on the Hafla…read moreexperience for awhile. Finally managed to get over there and try it. Went with my family for a bday brunch. So for anyone who doesn't know, the Hafla experience is an AYCE experience. Not the kind where everyone in the restaurant is walking around, selecting all of their foods to put on their plates and then walking back to their own table with it. For this experience, each person chooses one main entree for themselves and then the restaurant brings a whole bunch of other dishes to accompany that main entree. Everyone at the table has to participate in the Hafla. You cannot have 3 people ordering Hafla, and 4 people ordering from the regular A la Carte menu. It's meant to be a family style sharing experience. Oh my goodness. What an experience this was. They brought sooo many dishes to the table. If I could make one suggestion to the restaurant to improve the experience for their customers, it would be to get bigger tables for the Hafla! Holy smokes...there was sooo much food on the table. At one point, the waitress came out with some baskets of pita bread to go with our food and asked where to put them. Ummm...wherever you can find space?! We had lots of leftovers by the end of the meal. I think my daughter said she counted at least 15 boxes of leftovers! This wasn't just All You Can Eat. This was More Than You Can Eat, cuz we were all super full from everything that they brought to us, and we never needed to ask for anything to be refilled as we couldn't even finish what they'd brought to us initially. What a feast! As for the food itself. I think the one thing that kinda fell short a bit was the Chickpea fries. I'd had these once before from their food truck a few years ago. I really enjoyed it back then. This time however, the Chickpea fries were not as impressive. Everything else on the table though was excellent. I don't know where else in Vancouver you can get a plant based AYCE meal, and this one was very impressive. Some standouts for me were the Cauliflower of Life, Hatzil Baladi (charred eggplant), and Baba Ganoush. A few of us ordered some drinks and those were pretty impressive as well. My daughter's Lavender Lychee Lemonade looked so lovely and refreshing. For myself I ordered a Chai Latte made with oat milk, and that was excellent. Oh, and you know how sometimes restaurants have menus on their websites and the menus don't match what's on the printed menu in the actual restaurant? Well this was the first time I was actually happy to see that the menu in the restaurant was different cuz online it says that the Hafla costs $42 per person but when we got to the restaurant it turned out to be only $40 per person. In this day and age, when things are usually only ever getting more expensive, it was a real treat to see that something had actually gone down in price for once! Highly recommend this place. I'll be back sometime for sure to try their regular, non AYCE menu!

Their food items were mainly spicy and not very kid friendly. In fact, the family at the table next to us was complaining in Chinese Cantonese about how spicy everything was, even though they had requested mild to no spice. While the flavors were strong, the popular Hainan chicken was just okay, it was nice that it was boneless, but we have definitely had better elsewhere. ​There are no bathrooms available for customers. The seating is very limited inside, there are only 4 tables (two that seat two people and two that seat four) along with a few counter spots. ​Sadly, we won't be coming back.

The staff were attentive as well. It's located in the heart of main street so I will definitely be back soon. What we ordered (in order of our fave): 1) Grilled Octopus-the oyster mushroom in this was venture winner imo 2) Scallop Ceviche- incredibly fresh and vibrant flavours 3) Lobster Squid Ink Risotto- loved the texture of the risotto; good chunk of lobster but it was a bit salty for my preference 4) Unagi Aburi Oshi-- not the best I've had but it was solid comfort food

For appetizers we ordered the following with our friends - King Salmon & Albacore Tuna Crudo Big chunks of sashimi with a very good dressing, no need wasabi or soy sauce to go with it. That dressing was enough - Soy Shrimp Deviled Eggs, it was delicious & everyone agreed that I had the best looking appt, the presentation was very "stylish" - Chicken Tarte - pieces of chicken wrapped & baked in Filo pastry with fresh salad in a light vinaigrette dressing. My friend said it was delicious. For mains - Sushi Omakase - Sushi selection by the chef - it was fresh & yummy - Seafood Risotto- Seafood was not over cooked especially the Hokkaido scallop, the risotto was well cooked... I enjoyed it. - Osso Buco - hubby liked that espete Dashi Polenta, it was different & good For Dessert, we all had the Matcha cheesecake, it was very good & light.

So I highly recommend dropping in to East West Market, a couple of doors south of Trendy Bucks on Main Street, Vancouver, BC and support your local businesses.
