    Rice Pudding
    Dana S.

    Stopped here with a friend for a quick dinner. I was excited to try their cigkofte because not a lot of places here make it. We shared an order of the cigkofte, a spicy tomato dip, and a rice pudding. It was a good amount of food for a light meal for 2, and it was all delicious. The tomato dip came with their house-made bread, which came out fresh and with a great texture. Definitely the best bread I've ever gotten at a donair shop. We thought the dip wasn't really "spicy", but it was also very fresh with a bright flavour. The cigkofte were also packed with flavour. I found the texture and the shape of each kofte very pleasant. The platter came with a lemon wedge, and we squeezed all of the juice out of that lemon, which I would NOT recommend - it was too much, they're already drizzled with a tangy sauce - just give it a little drizzle of lemon juice and you'll be good. Finally, the rice pudding was also a winner. I liked the crunch of the nuts and the "crust" on top. The presentation was very nice for everything. Unlike a lot of counter-service donair shops, they have real plates and cutlery for dining in. The guy who took my order was nice. Their prices are a little high than typical donair but the food met a higher standard - it was more like food you'd get at a proper restaurant than fast food.

    I haven't gotten past the menu whereby I believe pricing to be aggressive and staff appeared indifferent. Sorry.

    We were visiting from California. We arrived on the later side of dinner. The restaurant was still…read morevery busy and full of people who appeared to be Indian/Pakistani - always a good sign. They have a big tv above the bar and above the entrance that was showing the hockey game. It's a small storefront entrance on a busy street but you couldn't hear the street noise. The food was AMAZING. We got the goat biryani, chicken tikka masala, samosas, garlic naan, mango lassi and a hot chai. Big delicious portions of everything. The service was ok, they were busy and potentially less attentive than usual. Anyway, would definitely go back again.

    First there is no mistaking this for a high end restaurant as another review recorded. This is a…read moresolid Nepalese joint. However it is not focused and instead provides a little bit of the region for everyone (Nepal, China, India, Pakistani influences). Came in for lunch on a weekday. Quickly seated and tended to by the staff. Interior is more of a diner scene than nice cafe. Bathrooms are gender neutral and clean but not nice. Here's my three things: 1) I got a lunch special featuring fish peckora, and tandoor chicken. Good flavor but missed on the real spice flavors. Veg salad was sour and worked with the rest of the plate. 2) These folks can make some NAAN! The Naan stole the show. Sweet, salty and crisp. 3) Price wise you can fill up and have a drink for $25-30CAN.

    A very tiny yet highly acclaimed restaurant in Vancouver near Yaletown-Roundhouse SkyTrain station…read more We stumbled upon this place while walking right at opening, so we got first pick at one of the 3 tables for dine-in. Definitely try to go at opening or when it is not busy, as the dine-in experience is memorable - they place your order in a long wooden board to make it a beautiful spread. We got the Manoush'eh Special which has ground beef, pomegranate, etc and Sham Style which is shaped like a boat. We also tried the yogurt drink which pairs well with the dishes. The only con is that this place does not have free water, but it is no problem to have our own water bottles supplementing the meal. We also got the lentil soup which is pretty good. Definitely sufficient to share one to try, but the Manoush'eh outshines the rest of the items. I loved the quality and texture of the Manoush'eh and just the breads in general. It is a lot of food for 2 people so if you want a snack, you can definitely just share 1. Some people go here for the wraps too. Overall, an affordable restaurant with good food. We got the most expensive items and it was less than 50 CAD all-in, but a lot of the items are around the 10 CAD mark.

    we came here near closing, so i'm assuming maybe it wasn't at its best, and i honestly feel kinda…read moreguilty writing this review. but i have to be honest about our experience. the food tasted really bland overall, especially the lahm bi ajeen. it didn't taste well seasoned at all and honestly tasted nothing like the versions i've had before. coming from LA, i feel like i've had a lot of really flavorful middle eastern food, so maybe my standards are higher. usually lahm bi ajeen has this rich savory flavor with warm spices, slight acidity, juicy meat, and a crispy thin crust that almost has a little char to it. this one felt flat flavor wise and the crust wasn't crispy or well baked. it lacked that depth and spice that makes the dish so addictive. maybe we just came at a bad time, but overall it was disappointing for us.

My personal favorites were the salmon curry and the dumplings with lentils. Go in a big group and get to try a little of everything!

No other concern other than the road noise. We were a party of three - 2 adults and one 5-year old toddler. We ordered 4 things - 1. Mantu - very good but expensive for 4 dumplings 2, Chicken Shami Kebab - Comes with super soft buttery naan bread, Melt in the mouth kebabs and possibly the best kebab of my life. My son loved it and primarily ate most of it. 3. Uzbeki Palaw - Very good but the rice to meat ratio could be disappointing. 4. One cocktail and it was very good, very ethnically inspired. Everything was amazing. Portion sizes are small and we finished everything. Our server was so warm and advised visiting during brunch hours the next time to enjoy more kebabs given we likes it the best. Other tips! 1. Service is fairly quick. We were in and out within the hour. 2. There is street parking but finding a spot may still be challenging at any point. There is parking in the building but when we visited, the entrance to it was not working. 3. Reservations are highly recommended for weekends to be seated inside which is very chic and upscale. 4. Menu is pretty kid friendly food and none of the food was remotely spicy.
