When I arrived the food was ready, however, not a single staff member was helpful and actually quite rude as I tried to get my order. Ended up speaking to a host and 4 staff just to figure out the pick up. When I got home the food did not match what was was described, salmon skewers were only baked salmon filet, the $9.99 salad was less than a cup of diced tomato and cucumber and the beef skewer was dry and under seasoned. Surprising considering how many great reviews there are. With so many choices for great Persian food on the North Shore I will go some place else next time.

This place looks so pretty on the outside with the different coloured flowers and stained glass windows but when you walk in, your jaw will drop to the floor! It is stunning beyond words with all types of Persian decor scattered throughout the restaurant in every nook and cranny. My eyes couldn't stop scanning the place and seeing something new each and every time. Beautiful colours of red, gold and various others popping out all over the place. The enormous golden samovars just screamed luxe. Even the menus have a carpet like material on the outside...I just couldn't believe how much attention to detail there was in this stunning restaurant. It is an experience that transforms you to the Middle East that makes you feel like royalty! The service is quick and friendly even though they are so so so sooooo busy! Now let's get to the food...believe it or not but it's just as amazing as the decor. The koobideh beef is juicy and very thick too. The joojeh chicken is super tender and melts in your mouth. The shishlik was the star, even in a well done form it was somehow still tender and juicy! The yogurt drink is refreshing, the Akbar mashti ice cream is fragrant and sweet and you can't go wrong with ordering anything on this fantastic menu. My deepest compliments to the chef!!! I'd say the Akbar joojeh dish could do with a touch less oil and their tea could've been more dark and fragrant as it was quite bland after the symphony my senses had gone through and the baklava would've been nice in Persian style instead of Arabic to tie in with the atmosphere more but these are very nit picky types of comments as this place is the best one in the lower mainland to go to especially when you're craving middle eastern eats. I wish I took more photos but I was in too much of a state of trance! Please do yourself a favour and run over to akbarjoojeh!

Their sandwiches are perfect for takeout and summer picnics or beach days. They also have a few delicious appetizers you can choose from, including Persian nachos called Chips & Cheese.

I ordered their "hidra sandwich" which I equated to their "special" since it bears their business name. Basically a sandwich with hamburgers and grilled chicken. Served on bread similar to a french baguette - fairly dense and a bit crunchy. Sandwich was pretty good. The meats were cooked fresh and the chicken was moist. A bit heavy of a sandwich but tasty, served with a side of their house sauce. 4/5 for the sandwich. But its $20 for a sandwich that was very average in size and nothing else. Very expensive for what you get. Value-wise, 3/5. Lady at the counter was nice. They have a few tables where you can sit if you want. Place was clean. Overall 3.5/5 I think is fair. They dont offer enough value to be a 4/5 yet. No half stars on yelp so they get 4/5. Overall experience was just ok.
