We are so glad to find this place for lunch while visiting Sidney. We tried the Kalamari which is…read morevery good. It's light and crispy. We also had the pork and chicken souvlaki in wraps. Personally I like the chicken more because of the texture but both are very tasty. Service is fast and efficient. Order the food, find a table and they will bring the food to your table. They clean up the tables very fast.

One of the top Persian kabab restaurants you will find in North America. The best Persian…read moreRestaurant, #1, is in Glendale, California called Raffi's Place. The Persian Grill House in Victoria, British Columbia is #2. The Persian Grill House has THE BEST barg kabab, even compared to Raffi's Place. This food was amazing. Even better was the service. The Persian Grill House took care of us like we were part of their family. We felt welcomed and humbled to be invited into their "home". Don't worry about price or portion sizes. They're Persian, so you know you're going to get a lot of food and your money's worth. Persians invented shareable portions, true story. As a consumer you can do whatever you want. With that being said, this is my best advice...skip the buffet and order from the menu. If buffet is your thing, then sure have at it. But, if you want fresh made food cooked and prepared to perfection, you definitely want to order directly from the menu. Every table in this restaurant should be filled every night. People should be waiting for a table to sit down and enjoy this restaurant, service, and food. I whole heartedly recommend The Persian Grill House to everyone. The next time I visit Victoria, I will without a doubt return to The Persian Grill House. Thank you Persian Grill House. I hope for your continued health and success. Daste shomā dard nakone!

VERDICT/VALUE 3.5 stars: the food is virtually the…read moresame as what is offered on BC Ferries...at a higher price :S But for those that grew up with White Spot - you're really here these days for the nostalgia :) === 2. FOOD The Monty Mushroom Burger is my go-to fav and it never fails to delight. The Kennebec potato French fries are always done right. When making it a Spot Meal, I chose a side Caesar salad, deep-fried zucchini sticks; it comes with a side of coleslaw too. The Pirate Paks are always a hit with the kids - my little guy happened to choose Mac and cheese with French fries today - but the burger and cheeseburger and chicken strips usually work out well also. The carrot cake was decadent - a little too sweet for me, but anyone looking for a (literally) sweet way to finish the meal would not go home disappointed :) === 3. SERVICE On this latest night it seemed perhaps the wait staff were stretched thin or less trained that they should be. It feels like a lot of staff are moving around but not stopping by any tables or carrying anything. Food service was slow out of the kitchen (not the wait staff's fault presumably). Our waitress also missed the post-dinner coffee but comp'd the dessert completely as a result. === 4. ENVIRONMENT Still the old diner-style layout, but remodelled in the last 5 years or so with a clean look and decent sightlines around. It's tough trying to be a little bit of everything: family restaurant with a mix of sports bar (including the TVs and actual bar with water fountain backdrop). You can fit wheelchairs and baby strollers inside - keep in mind that some folks may have some challenges navigating the slight incline of the property to get into the restaurant. Parking is as lucky as you are in the Saanich Centre complex parking lot - which is sometimes packed and sometimes empty :)

Knowing that Lebanese food is my favorite of all this was one of our first stops in my two weeks stay. This is a family owned place with the owners behind the counter and working in the kitchen, they appear to be husband and wife, and they couldn't be more friendly or kind. They were so very nice to us and answered all of our silly questions. The food here is magnificent! I had never had tabouli fries before, that was the first. My buddy said their fries were excellent and they are, they are double fried and very crunchy. That is my favorite kind of fry. Pillowy soft on the inside too. The beef-lamb shawarma was special. We got the one with the hot sauce and added more. We are both also chilli heads. I will absolutely be bringing my wife here when we return to the island in the fall. Yalla is 5 stars all the way. Lots of locals in and out while we dined. They know this place is special.
