I walk and drive by this Persia Foods place many many times. I always thought it was a small little store on Kingsway but to my surprise, it is bigger than what it looks from the outside. I walked in and was surprised at the prices and the freshness of its produce. I highly recommend shopping here. The staff and customers here are super nice as well. The parking can be a bit chaotic. It is a one way traffic with limited parking spots. I recommend either walking here or parking somewhere else and walk to the store. I am coming back for sure. read more

I drive past this place all the time when traveling on kingsway. I notice many cars will slow down to enter or park on the street, often causing a jam. I finally decided to visit this shop to see what the fuss is about. Prices! Pretty low prices for fresh produce. Now I get the attraction of this shop as the regular grocery stores are charging so much for basic vegetables and fruits. Being a Persian store, it does stock many products from the Middle East region. I find the mini cucumbers and tomatoes are very competitively priced and often cheaper than the big stores. At my last visit, a bag of 3 romaine lettuce hearts is $2.49! And a bunch of cilantro is at $0.79. I've not seen that price in so many years. There are also pretty neat stuff like fresh dates and pistachios. I never know what they look like until now. There are parking spots inside but they are taken quickly. That explains why people often park along kingsway. read more

I love this place. Really great for produce, dried fruits and nuts. Hard to park because its so busy but other than that no complaints. Really great pricing on things like cheese and yogurt. Delicious breads and lots of spices. Staff are always fast working on the usually long line. I always have to stock my spice cupboard from here, especially the boullion cubes! read more

Persia Foods is a Persian market with multiple locations throughout Greater Vancouver. They are a great place to shop for fresh fruits and vegetables, and of course...as the name implies, everything you need to make all of your Persian favourites in the comfort of your own home!  I dropped by the Burnaby location one day when they had a sale on green grapes for $1.99/lb. Some of the green grapes were of the Cotton Candy variety so I bought a bag to bring home. Now I'm kicking myself for not having bought 2 or 3 bags of them as the Cotton Candy grapes were soooo good and we went through most of the bag very quickly. I put a few in the freezer and they are now a precious commodity in our house! Love their selection of Persian breads. They've got humungous slabs of bread for sale. There's also a wide variety of Persian spices, condiments and other staple ingredients for cooking Persian foods at home. If you don't have time or energy to cook things from scratch, they offer ready made canned foods that you just need to heat up over the stove.  If you're a fan of Persian foods then this place is definitely worth checking out! Service: Good Parking: Free parking at the store and on nearby streets. Location: 6791 Kingsway, Burnaby read more

Have always loved these places but my most recent visit the 2 loaves of barbari was mouldy and I had to dispose of it. I live 6 hours drive away so I couldn't just return it the next day. I bought it and hit the road home along with my other supplies I always puchase there. Sorely disappointed. read more

Before Persia Foods, this location had a 24-hr produce (not convenience) store, which was a little weird in itself, but pretty cool for those late night veggie needs...except...most of the veggies sucked. Cheap, but bad quality and some even rotten. After we noticed that the sign had changed to 'Persia Foods', we decided to check it out and were SO GLAD it is nothing like the predecessor. QUALITY = Solid. Fruits and veggies were mostly fresh. Looked and tasted good. Especially the seedless champagne grapes were delicious! PRICE = Cheap. Red/yellow/anycolor peppers were 99cents/lb. I have not seen this kind of price on peppers since 3 years ago. Soy milk was same or cheaper than T&T. Avocado was 69c each in late summer when everywhere else is selling them at $1-3 each (I saw the $3/ea at Whole Foods). SELECTION = If I had to pick one awesome thing about this place, it's the variety of products. There were at least 3 different kinds of tomatoes. There were at least 4 kinds of grapes. There is a bulk self-serve dried stuff section. Tons of loose leaf teas. 3 different coarseness of couscous. PARKING = Parking lot is right beside the store and is a fenced area. Can park at least 10 cars. If full, there is street parking. SERVICE = Courteous, and not overly friendly (which I like). Hardworking and efficient. Good quality bags (+ points) and takes credit cards (+ more points). read more

We love this place. Fresh veggies, always many varieties on sale and continuous replenishment. If you like nuts they are super fresh and Half the price of Ayoub's on Denman. However not as well displayed or the variety. Tight space to move around in the store and to get to the cashier. Overall great experience. read more

This is the best location for Persia Foods. Everything is super cheap and excellent quality. Top tip: You can't use a card under $5, which sounds comical, but you'd be surprised how much you can get without hitting that mark. One-less-than-top tip: When you're waiting in line, there is an extensive array of Ritter Sport on the right --- so its best if you turn left and strafe.. unless you're completely powerless, like me. read more

Quality, fresh produce for the most competitive prices. A go to for ethnic and North American fresh and pantry items for me! I love their pistachio and hazelnut oil, fresh lychees, Persian lemons and melons, lemon roasted pistachios, coconut butter and sulfates free dried fruits. read more

BTW no need to state the business turnover or how you price your new produce. Really the just of it is, to remove old and existing produce then replace the new incoming then change it to the new fluctuating market price...simple so you do not have deal with explaining...price ...market ...fluctuation...etc. I know you are NOT trying to take advantage of the customer....well stated btw. But paying for higher new market price for previous day lower priced, just does not make sense. Yes I will be coming back but will be vigilant especially when there is a delivery happening...I will be price checking read more

I was there to get some 40 pound rice. The cashier called a guy Vahed to help me, but the guy seems like refuse to answer however she called him many times. And it took me longer than usual to get my rices. And he was so rude read more

We visited BC from the Seattle area. I was hellbent on finding authentic, fresh Persian/middle eastern ingredients, so I did plenty of research beforehand. We visited all the stops on my list and was left feeling less than impressed with what I'd found. On the way back to our hotel, I spotted the big green storefront of Persia Foods and I am SO happy I did. Everything was fresher and less expensive than any of my other stops. This place is the real deal! I came back home with more than I ever planned on buying and I'm thrilled about it. read more

Very rude staff. I arrived at 8:35 at this location and I had 25 minutes to shop, but the cashier acted as if I was keeping them longer than their work hours. My business is in retail too, but we always treat customers with respect, even at the end of the working hours. Very disappointed! read more

I love this store! It is a tightly packed store but fresh produce at a very reasonable price and quality, locally made hummus, shallot yogurt dips are very tasty and reasonably priced. They have all kinds of different jams (have you heard of carrot jam?!) and condiments to browse. Overall it is a fun place to visit and buy good quality produce at a good price. read more

I always get Rice (white basmati, brown), fresh fruit and vegetable, dates and lavash at their store. They have a really good variety of foods for reasonable prices! read more

I just simply love it...... When it comes down to price in one hand, and friendliness of the staff on the other hand, hands down Persia Foods is the best in the town. Prices are right, and vegetable and food quality is awesome. Pretty much this is your Burnaby shopping destination at the price of the cheapest places down in State, let alone in BC. I live in near by and shop at nowhere but Persia Foods. Awesome, Awesome, Awesome...... Way to go.......... 100% recommended..... read more

Fruits are cheap but quality is not good. I bought frozen okra for $2.49 but when it was scanned at the checkout comes to $2.99. Cashier argued for good 5-10 minutes that scanned price is the correct amount and later ended the conversation by saying its only 50 cents. Please check your receipt when you buy your grocery from there. read more
