I cannot wait to get more of the items here and I'm so annoyed that it took me this long because…read morethis was amazing! First off, the shop is super small but I was able to snag a table (there are 3 but it seems most popular for take out). The service was fast and really lovely. And the cost is super affordable for the quantity and quality. I got the FALAFEL MANOUSHEH (FALAFEL MIX, SPREAD AND BAKED ON OUR HOUSE-MADE FLATBREAD. TOPPED WITH TAHINI SAUCE, TOMATOES, PICKLED TURNIP & PARSLEY) and a side of their hummus. The bread is baked freshly and the falafel packs a ton of flavour. The cold tomatoes, turnip, and parsley add a brightness without overpowering the main base. Their hummus was ultra smooth and was so nice to dip dip! This portion was huge and really made the perfect lunch! I dare to say this was one of the best falafels in the city!

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.

Even though we ate during their closing hours, they did not rush us and allowed us to order additional items. Highly recommend the mixed mezze dips platter and mixed grill platter. We ordered additional rounds of the lamb kebab because it was to die for. Cocktails were 10/10, every single one that we ordered was better than the last. I would however avoid the desserts. The baklava, though tasty was dry. The molten lava cake was refused and sent back by our kids. Didn't look very appealing. We would definitely go back on future visits for dinner.

On a real whim moment - a friend I was going into town with was carrying on past this joint & said - hey you have to try this Doner - it's good. Oh why not - I said. I popped in & walked around checking out the setup & noticed the freshness & cleanliness right away. I like the decor as well - neat high tables & wood finishing. DS is still a baby - having just opened up 3 months ago. I met the boss & we chatted up a storm. He's a cool guy who's been in Vancouver for over 10 years - originally from Turkey! Ok - you had me at Turkey!!! He recommended the chicken Doner & wow oh wow did this taste of heaven go down or what. The tender halal chicken & Tabouli salad & ingredients as well as added sauces including hot sauce - Mama Mia!!! Heads up for anyone popping in over the next few weeks - the boss has plans for Kebabs & is strategizing how to work in a new grill etc etc. He's real excited about this venture & said I have to come back at the end of February when he hopes to have completed setting up. Sounds awesome - I will definitely be going back! Oh make sure that when you go to DS - show boss the picture of my Doner & tell him to grill it exactly like in the pic!!! You won't be disappointed!

The Saj Chicken is a crazy good grilled roll (like a thin burrito) of chicken and peppers served on a bed of fries with a side of garlic tahini sauce. This was a home run. We also got the chicken shawarma platter that came with rice, hummus, pita, salad, and pickles. Everything went well together when building a bite, but I gotta tell ya... Those pickles were awesome. All in it was sub $40 CAD, and very much worth it.

i dropped by aladdin a little after 7:00 pm on a friday. dinner plans had fallen through and my…read morepartner was running late, so i decided on something simple and easy to grab to go. it's a middle eastern restaurant located at 615 robson street, at seymour. inside, the shop is tiny, bright, and set up like a cafeteria. the dining area has just a handful of tables, clearly meant for quick meals rather than lingering. neutral tile floors, simple black tables, and a glass display counter give it a clean, efficient feel. framed foreign currencies line one wall alongside a flat screen tv, reinforcing the sense of a long running, no frills neighbourhood spot. everything looks well kept and geared toward steady takeout traffic. i ordered the lamb shawarma platter, which came with marinated slices of lamb cooked on a flat top griddle, yellow rice, a potato, and a salad of shredded carrots, red onions, cucumbers, beets, and pickles on shredded lettuce with dressing. it also included garlic sauce, hummus, and two slices of pita. watching the food being prepared offered an early clue to what went wrong. a small mound of shaved lamb sat alone on the flat top, lightly steaming but looking pale and already overworked, with no visible basting or buildup of juices. unfortunately, that carried through to the plate. the lamb was dry and lacked the richness you hope for, which took away from an otherwise solid lineup of sides and sauces. with better quality cuts of meat and a bit more care on the grill, this could have been a dependable go to, but as it stood, the main component missed the mark.

We chose take away/to-go. Got two Chicken Shawarma Plates. A regular for my buddy and a large #6 for my wife and I to split. LOL, because we are such light eaters, we still gave like 25% of our plate to my buddy to eat. Glad he likes this place. My wife and I did not really like the food, but again my buddy did, so it worked out. I really like all the pictures and signs, but it did get confusing to me. Too many options, daily specials, box specials, etc. Ambiance - A good size location. More outdoor seating than indoor. A full bar, see pictures. A tourist area. Service - Questionable?!?! I feel like this place can recognize tourists that might NOT be back?!?! He told me sauce was included, but then charged me 50 cents CAD for each sauce?!?! Of course I did not see it until after I paid and I asked for a receipt! Not enough $$ for me to complain, as it was obvious that we ALL knew I was never coming back. Price - $35 USD; sorry, forgot how much in CAD. And the prices on the pictures did not come out. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success.

Portion sizes were generous, perfect for sharing or taking home leftovers. From the perfectly seasoned kebabs to the aromatic rice and stews, everything tasted homemade and deeply satisfying. If you're a fan of Persian cuisine--or curious to try it--this place is a must. Great food and great value. I didn't like the outdoor seating as the tables weren't level, and the road noise was too much for my liking. Next time we will sit and enjoy the indoor dining area, but it is nice to have indoor/ outdoor options.

There were crowds of people outside of restaurant. We had a reservation at patio. We had a reservation for patio section. When we arrived , manager said restaurant could not control customer who stayed at patio because of world cup crowds. I totally understand the situation, it was unusually busy event day, however, we hope restaurant should remove patio reservation from the booking system during event time. We had Chicken wings, calamari and Lamb shoulder tacos and watched Haiti vs Scotland game. There was no TV outside, so, it turned out to be positive since we could watch another game. Chicken wings were just ok, ordinary. Lamb shoulder tacos was ok, but, flavor was a bit too strong. Calamari was the best dish. Very crispy and crunchy, I would order again.
