The steak was tender and cooked well, and it came with condiments like jus and steak sauce, which added to the experience. However, the steak itself could have used a bit more seasoning and a stronger smoky flavor to really elevate it. Overall, it was an enjoyable dining experience with room for improvement in flavor depth.

I personally did not enjoy any part of this dining experience. We had made a reservation which…read moreabsolutely was not needed because the place was dead inside. the walls were so dirty so it was a bit off putting to be eating beside old sauce / dead bugs. service was absolutely non existent. The two ladies were just talking off on the side and texting on their phone all in plain sight. I understand there may be downtime in any shift but it lowers the vibe of the dining experience and also our soft drinks took forever to come to our table. just a Coke and just a sprite - also no offer for refills or asking if we wanted other drinks. the food itself took a LONG time to come out - only two entrees, no appetizers or fancy platters. once the food did come out I was surprised that everything was SO salty. also weird it's auto served with ketchup and bbq sauce. My steak had a lot of gristle on it and typically when the waitress would check in how things were I'd either mention it or they would apologize for the cut - but neither of the servers came by. I also didn't want to risk waiting another half hour for mediocre food and service. a family came in and they were seated right near us even though the restaurant was empty so that was also weird seating. when our meals were over and plates taken away eventually, we waited again for 10 minutes for someone to come by so we could get our bill. it's a weird layout because it's like the restaurant wants to be boujie but the service and food just don't meet the criteria. Needless to say it was not a good birthday dinner and I wouldn't recommend it.

I had been to this restaurant a couple of times in the past, many years ago, and we had ordered…read moretakeout food from this place 2-3 times during the pandemic. The food here is soooo good. It's especially good if you have a group of people dining with you. That way you can share different dishes and enjoy lots of different flavors. The Mixed Plate is especially good for that. I have seen from their menu online that they also offer something called Padisha's Table which requires a minimum of 4 adults ordering it, and costs $36 per person. For this visit we had the following: Beyti Sarma Small Mixed Plate Cheese Lovers Pide Lamb Durum Wrap Veggie Guvech Turkish Coffee Turkish Tea The Small Mixed Plate came with a humungous slab of lavash bread! It was crazy how big this piece of bread was. We were a group of 5 people and this Small Mixed Plate by itself could have been our lunch. It was such a huge piece of bread. Sooo good though. They baked it in the oven until it got all nice and puffy, and it came to our table piping hot. I always enjoy this Mixed Plate starter. It comes with such a nice variety of dips. My absolute favorite dip though is the Baba Ghannush. I think next time I eat at this restaurant, I will add on a separate order of the Baba Ghannush so I enjoy more of it than what comes in the Mixed Plate starter! I loved my Veggie Guvech. The veggies were roasted and baked to perfection. I'm someone who likes my food soft, so I was happy to find that the veggies in this dish were nice and soft. The menu description says that this dish comes with Lavash. I didn't see any more Lavash bread come other than the huge slab that came with our Small Mixed Plate. Perhaps they did this on purpose though. The one huge piece of bread is equivalent to several smaller pieces that you might get in other restaurants. I certainly didn't need anything more than the huge piece of bread we'd already been served, so was very glad not to see anything else come with my Veggie Guvech. If you're a cheese love, you can't go wrong with the Cheese Lovers Pide. It's our daughter's "go to" dish when we order from this restaurant. She really loves her cheese! The people who ordered Lamb Durum Wrap said the lamb inside their wraps was very moist and tender. I do recall also hearing good things about lamb dishes from this restaurant in the past, when we ordered takeout from them. The Turkish Coffee and Tea come in some beautifully designed cups. I have travelled to Turkey in the past and enjoyed a hot apple tea in a Turkish Tea cup. The cup that was used here was very much like the cup I drank from in Turkey. I never had coffee when I was in Turkey, but judging from how unique the design of the cup here was, it's probably a very traditional design for a Turkish coffee cup since the Turkish Tea cup was just like the ones I saw in Turkey. Highly recommend this place! There aren't a lot of Turkish restaurants within Metro Vancouver. This place is an absolute gem!

The street-side entrance is pretty sketchy-looking and we totally went by the place the first time even though we were looking for it because of how barricaded-up it looked. But once you get inside, it's very cosy. There's a huge electronic menu right behind where you order, which is great. I don't have to dquint to read everything! For sure a small place, they have quite a bit of selection for food. The banh mi comes as just a sandwich or as a meal with spring rolls and a can of pop. I got the garlic beef one which was amazing. They are very generous with the meat, mine had at least 4 or 5 whole slices throughout. My boyfriend had the deluxe classic which was also delicious and huge. Takes me at least 3 bites to cover the width of the banh mi to try all the toppings! I definitely want to go again and try the lemongrass options next time.

We ended up arriving during their happy hour (2-5PM & 9-10PM depending on the day), which was perfect timing. Walking in, the place immediately impressed us. Modern, and upscale lounge vibes. The interior felt boujee in the best way, and we even got seated at a table with a beautiful view of the water. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the place was packed, which is always a good sign. For drinks, we ordered the Sunset Soda and their happy hour white wine, which were both great. For food, we tried the Avocado Dip, the Mini Crispy Chicken Sandwiches, and a tuna roll. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and honestly such a good value for happy hour pricing. What surprised us most was learning that there are multiple Cactus Club locations all over Vancouver. With how nice this place was, we'd love to see one open in the States someday.

Although the portion was huge, the sauce was very watery, the hot sauce isn't really spicy either and the overall taste was pretty bland, It was almost like eating a chicken salad in a wrap. The chicken was also a bit dry and lacking flavour. Overall it was okay but I wouldn't come back to pay $10 for this. Next! lol

The main entrance has several steps. Much easier to enter from the "side" entrance which doesn't have steps. The inside is nice and large. Great view of the street. About half the seating area is raised by a few steps. Staff are friendly and helpful. No complaints. They have typical dishes such as kebabs and donairs, as well as "traditional" meal section. I tried the roast lamb. It was pretty decent. Some may consider it a bit bland, but I would say it reminds me of home cooking. Served with salad, rice, and pita. My buddy tried the sac tava (meat stir fry) and said it was really delicious. Guess I'll try that next time. Pricing is reasonable, and quality is decent. I'd come back again. Recommended.

I don't think there was a single dish that we didn't like. My favorite was the lamb. It was so tender and paired with the pickles was great contrast. Some other favorites from our group was the fried Chicken, mandu, and the corn bread. The daily butter was fantastic. Finally, we got the vegan chocolate mousse, and we expected it to be kind of small but it was shareable between three people and it was delicious. Overall great experience!
