Fresh, chewy pita bread served with six different dipping sauces -- such a great start to the meal! I ordered the Kafta + Kashkaval ($26.95), which is like a thin-crust pizza topped with seasoned meat and tomatoes. It was really good, and you can truly taste the freshness in every bite. I'd definitely love to come back and try another dish next time! read more

Wild Thyme - Kafta & Kashkaval - Lebanese Near Me - New Westminster, British Columbia

A great little gem in New Westminster. I would travel to another neighbourhood for this restaurant. Offers amazing Lebanese food and the on-site hand-made freshly baked bread is just heaven. Been here a few times and never disappoints. Service is excellent and the staff makes recommendations if we are ordering too little or too much (no way!!!). With a group of 4, we had grilled halloumi cheese, homemade pit with dips, chicken with rice, lamb shank with rice. More than enough to feed 4 hungry adults. Free side street parking. The restaurant gets busy for diner so suggest you come early (before 6pm) to avoid the line up. read more

I coincidentally came upon this place with my best friend while being in the area, and boy, was I in for a surprise. Wild Thyme is a Lebanese restaurant with all the classics and so much more. Service was a bit slow to start, but we were eventually given menus and water. The options are very diverse, which was a bit stressful for me as I suffer from decision paralysis. Eventually, I opted for something based on the server's suggestion. He mentioned there was a chicken special that they feature only a few days a week. My friend opted for a vegan bean dish. The food took some time to arrive, but when things started coming together, I was blown away by the portions and selection. My chicken came with 4 dips, salsa, bread, salad, as well as the actual chicken and rice served in a large pan. I was already drooling when everything arrived. I also loved that I could share many of the side dishes with my friend, as they were vegan-friendly. The chicken was tender and seasoned with a variety of spices and flavours I could not identify, but either way, I was happy. There was a salsa that accompanied it, and the acidity and hint of spice paired well with the chicken. I was so hooked, and I had never imagined enjoying the food this much. At the end, I had to pack half of it for home, and I enjoyed it again the next day just as much. $34.99 was well spent as it was the price of two full, hearty meals for me. My friend joked that next time, I should order the chicken for both of us, and she would eat all the vegan parts. The servers were also very kind and patient despite all my questions about the food. I would love to return and show everyone I know this wonderful, delicious place in New West. read more

My boyfriend ordered.... And when we go the pita with the dips I was in heaven ... I'm gonna say this..... best dips ever, and I didn't even have to order them! read more

Everything was so delicious. But it is a lot of food! Definitely recommend getting the set menu which always you to try a little bit of everything. We started with the salad, and it was a great peek into what our tastes buds were about to get into. Good salad with fresh dressing. We finished it so fast. Next was the fresh roti which was still expanding while it was placed infront of us but quickly deflated. But still steaming fresh! It was a big portion for 5 of us to all share. And there was 4 different dips (all very different) to try. Hummus, egg plant, tzakiki, and my favorite (whipped egg whites)? My fried time to try the whipped egg whites with garlic but damnnnnnnn was it fine! I practically liked that bowl clean. Garlic breath here I come! But the end of that, we were pretty satisfied even before getting to the other parts of the meal. We ordered some flat bread to share, but it was good. And so was the rice with three types of meat. But my favorite still came to th whipped egg whites. I kept mixing some of the dips into the flat bread as well as rice. It was that great. Highly recommend. Would go again! Yum yum! read more

I had eaten earlier this year and really enjoyed the Moudammas. It was thick; chickpeas, slightly sour because of lemon and had tahini, tomatoes in it, as pictured. Went again recently. Ordered moudammas again, didn't want the pita so waitress suggested lettuce. Server brought a bowl of a half lettuce head well before meal was served. When served, the moudammas was just beans in a very sour lemon broth. Nothing else in the bowl. Nothing like the picture. When paying, the bill was much higher. They charged $6.00 for the half head of lettuce. The waitress had not said I'd be charged for lettuce when I couldn't eat the pita. I should have been told this upfront. It comes across as dishonest not to be forthright. I don't think I'll return. I'll certainly ask at other restaurants the costs of 'substitutes' from now on. read more

We had the kafna, lamb shank, negroni, and kaftan. The venue was very busy on a Friday night but it wasn't a crazy wait to get a table for 2. The food was delicious, service friendly and nice, and the venue was good. The server told us that the entree came with the bread and the 4 Hummus so we didn't need to get more. I gave a 4 instead of 5 only because it didn't have a unique coffee and the decoration wasn't as amazing as other places I rated as 5. Maybe u expected more authentic decoration. Parking was easy near the area. They even provided free cardamom black tea :) I would recommend the place :) read more

Wild Thyme is a hidden gem! The pictures of the food looked incredible. We could smell the spices and baking flatbread as soon as we walked in the door. I'm happy to report that our in person experience was beyond our expectations. Everything was fresh, everything was made by hand and everything was delicious. My friend and I ordered the 1/2 and 1/2 flat bread with chicken on one side and Za'atar on the other. Roast Lamb was next. It was almost enough for the both of us. Lastly, the service was excellent. Several employees checked in with us and made sure had everything we needed. We had to take food home but the leftovers didn't last long! A+ read more

Tasty but pricey Lebanese place in New Westminster. Parking is available on the side streets. The place is split into a kitchen/takeout area, and a L-shaped dining area. Staff are friendly. Special mention for the naan. Not sure how they make it, but it's the size of a cushion. Literally filled with steaming hot air, so try not to burn your hands off when you poke a hole in the thing. The naan itself is actually really thin, so the portion size actually isn't super big. The naan comes with 4 dips. Hummus - tasty. Garlic - my friends tell me this one is like crack. It is definitely tasty, but a bit on the salty side. Baba ghanouj (smoky eggplant) - on the tangy side. Eggplant pieces are thinly sliced and easy to scoop. Yogurt - also tangy and tasty. Cauliflower with rice - normally I'm not a fan of vegan stuff, but this one was actually pretty tasty. Basically it's baked cauliflower and other random vegetable slices with tahini (garlic) sauce. Cauliflower pieces were soft but not mushy. 1/4 kafta 1/4 chicken with rice - basically marinated ground beef and house marinated chicken. Decent taste but this dish sure is expensive for what you get. Good thing we ordered the other stuff, or we would've all left hungry. Wouldn't mind coming back at some point, though my wallet hurts. read more

Wow, Wild Thyme is definitely a delicious place to try Lebanese food if you haven't already! I love Mediterranean/Middle Eastern food, and food served here is fantastic! We were visiting Vancouver and Wild Thyme popped up as a highly rated restaurant near where we were staying, so we swung by on a Friday around 7pm and had a brief 2 minute wait to get seated. The ambience of the restaurant is very busy, as there was a constant flow of diners, and felt very open with windows and plenty of natural light. The service was fast even with the amount of diners in the restaurant and the servers were friendly. I got the three course lamb dish, which included a salad starter and pita bread. Salad + Sauces: The salad was fresh and had delicious citrus/slightly sour flavor - there was a vinaigrette that woke up your taste buds. The pomegranate seeds added a nice pop of texture and there was just an overall feeling of crispness. Onto the sauces, wow they are scrumptious! Each one was really smooth and had a deep flavor respective to what they were made with. I would say my favorite was the toum, as it was sour and had excellent garlic flavor - followed by the baba ganoush/hummus, and the yogurt. Pita Bread: The pita bread provided was one of the biggest and best pita breads I've had - it was delicious on its own with a light and fluffy texture, only further elevated by the four sauces that came with the salad. Lamb Main: Yum - This is a delicious and filling dish! Portions of the lamb were tender, and the meat had a firm and hearty texture. The sauce felt tomato based and went well with the rice and lamb, you could definitely taste the spices and herbs that went into the sauce and rice, which was further complemented by the acid in the lemon. I would say this was a pretty satisfying dish! Baklava: The Baklavas were tasty! They are a bit on the smaller side based on baklavas I've had before, but the layers were even and the crust was very flaky and delicious. You could definitely taste the grounded nut filling and the texture was good. Overall, I spent about $30 CAD for the experience, which I thought was a good price given the quality and quantity of food. I would like to revisit Vancouver just to try more of the many options that Wild Thyme has to offer! read more

I've eaten at Wild Thyme twice and ordered takeout once. Most recently, I was there as part of a group of eight. Each of the times I've had their food, I've found it to be pretty flavourful, but it's hard to get a sense for what you're ordering from the menu. The descriptions didn't really fit the food that we received and we were fortunate that it was still good however unexpected it was when it arrived. The menu could use a refresh and alignment because it is different online than the print menus at the table. As I mentioned already, the food is rich, it's served in big portions and there seem to be options for vegetarian and vegans. (Clearer on the menu at the table than online.) The staff are friendly and willing to make suggestions when requested. It's a small space so it can get a little loud in there when the place gets busy. Reservations are not available at this time. read more

Wild Thyme - yummm 4 dips - Lebanese Near Me - New Westminster, British Columbia

Had a sudden craving for Wild Thyme so called in to order pick-up for Sunday dinner. Their operating hours have been modified because of the pandemic so best to call in to order and set a pick-up time. I initially called for lunch but discovered that they only open in the afternoons for dinner. They returned my call at around 3 so I placed my order over the phone for a 7:30 pick-up time. I got Half order of 1/2 Kafta + 1/2 Chicken to be shared between me and the hubby. Their entrees come with Fattoush salad, a huge pita and 4 dips. In the past, when we dined in at Wild Thyme, we ordered the full serving and had lots of left over left so the Half order was just right for us. Omg, it was so delicious and flavorful! Love the refreshing flavors of the salad with pomegranate. The pita was still warm and the dips are so good!! The rice was packed with flavor and both the kafta and chicken were seasoned and cooked just right. It was definitely a great meal for $30. They set up two windows -- one for ordering and payment while the other is for picking up the food. Let's all continue to support local establishments during this tough period. read more

I've eaten at Wild Thyme so many times, but didn't realized I never left any reviews. This place is my favorite place for Lebanese food. The 4 dips with bread is always a must. It may have changed recently because this time it came with toum (delicious garlic dip and my favorite), yogurt style dip, hummus and Baba ganoush. When in doubt on what to order as a main, the kafta and chicken entree is a good way to sample couple things. Their flatbreads after coming out of the oven is also to die for. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic there is only takeout or deliver (Uber Eats) options, but I'll be dining in once they're able to open. read more

You know how much of a scrooge I am when it comes to giving out 5 stars right? Wild Thyme is that good. When the food comes. It doesn't look like much. Kind of all lunpy and stuff. Didn't take any pics that was stellar. (Just look at others.). But the after tastes... They slowly seep into your system into your memory bank and tie them into a knot of loveliness. FYI. Had the 1/4 Kafka and the Lahmajoun with flat bread and salad. Super filling and delicious. Highly recommend it. read more

We popped in for my birthday dinner on Sunday and I'm going to ignore the fact that they forgot our second order of pita and that it took 12 minutes to get a drink because the food was THAT GOOD. Also, they did in fact get a liquor license and we had a nice bottle of wine... but it wasn't served in the nicest way possible. A little training here would do them a world of good but... I don't even care. I'm not even mad. Their fattoush is still out of this world good, the dips are still unbelievable, the bread is still fantastic (not as good as Anatolia's gate up the hill.... but still damn good), and the chicken entree for two was so good that days later it just made my mouth water. Okay, enough. Just go. read more

Wild Thyme is an absolute must! This was my second dining experience here and I continue to have nothing but great things to say about this place. The staff are friendly and attentive. There is a reason this place is so highly rated and busy. And now for the main event, the food. My table ordered the Spicy Cheese, Cauliflower with Rice for our mains. The meal also comes with a starter Fattoush salad and an assortment of dips (hummus, baba ghanouj, garlic and yoghurt) with oven fresh flat bread. All of the dips are made with fresh ingredients that are delicious. And Lots of garlic, which is a requirement! I am absolutely in love with the Cauliflower with Rice as it is covered with tahini sauce, flavourful vegetables and then baked in a brick oven. The dish is a perfect balance of rich, creamy tahini and roasted cauliflower. It is worth ordering. The other main (the spicy cheese) is a delicious flatbread with cheese and spicy red peppers. It is also baked in the brick oven which adds a great texture and flavour to the flatbread. I love dipping this in the assorted dips, particularly the garlic dip. I cannot speak more highly about Wild Thyme. I look forward to my next visit(s) as this place is easily one of the best spots to eat in the Lower Mainland. read more

Authentic Lebanese food at it's best. Located in New Westminster, Wild Thyme serves up some delicious food at reasonable prices. On a previous visit I was sold on their Man'oushe' (flatbreads). This visit, my wife and I shared the Kafta and Rice platter and now I'm not sure if they make anything I'm not a fan of. The Kafta and Rice come in two sizes. A portion meant for 1-2 people or a larger size for 3-4. In both cases, they come with a salad to share and an enormous fresh out of the oven pita with four dips including baba ganoush, hummus, toum, and another one which escapes me. The toum which is like a whipped garlic pate is definitely my favourite. The Kafta was delicious. The meat patties were served with a beautiful and flavourful yellow rice, onions, and tomatoes topped with tahini sauce and sumac. The service was excellent and tending to our needs very well and we loved sitting in their small courtyard next to the building. There is no doubt Wild Thyme deserves the accolades it receives. read more

So, my boyfriend brought me here telling the staff he'll bring his girlfriend, since he and his co worker had come across this place after work. Upon walking in, I could already tell they remembered Yassine (my boyfriend). They were very friendly and accommodating. The place seemed extremely busy and everyone seemed very hands on. You can tell this place is built with love and literal sweat. My boyfriend talks such amazing things about this place, so we drove over here after receiving such amazing news to celebrate with outstanding food! We were hungry and haven't eaten the whoooole day. Came here around 6pm and realized that we should have called in earlier, or made a reservation as the food took FOREVER TO COME. I was already hangry. My boyfriend again reassured me that the food was worth the wait. We waited.... But when the food came, right away I knew we'd be back! The food was impeccable and something I'd crave for again. The portions were HUGE and the pita came as a size of a 10 inch pizza. As hungry as we were, we devoured it so quick! We even ordered more!! The rice and the beef were so tender and melted in my mouth! Amazing job! We'd be back soon!!! read more

Wild Thyme - Lebanese Near Me - New Westminster, British Columbia

One of my favorite Lebanese restaurants We've been to Wild Thyme a few times now and the food is pretty consistent. It's a bit tight in the restaurant so that they can keep the wait time shorter The Cauliflower and Rice entree was pretty refreshing. The cauliflower is roasted till tender, and they add on the fresh veggies, herbs and signature tahini sauce with a side of rice. This dish is totally Gluten and dairy free! The Za'atar is usually full of flavor with the sumac and not oily at all Our go-to sharing dish is half kafta and half chicken entree. The flavors of the rice and sauce are to die for. The chicken was on the dry side. This dish is also dairy free and GF. The entrees come with pita bread, fattoush salad and 4 dips. Expect to smell like garlic for the rest of the night Usually there is a wait but it's worth it The lime and mint pop is so good, it's tastes like a virgin mojito read more

My god, I want to move next door to this place. The wait was super long (about 40 minutes.. we were told 15 lol) but so worth it. As the other reviews mention, it's a LOT of food. We took home a second meal. It was so freaking good. I can't even describe the flavors - it was our first time having Lebanese food, and we were blown away. We also really appreciated that we were served a nice range of dishes. While everything tasted wonderful, it would have made for a pretty heavy meal to have only kafta and rice, so the salad, naan and sauces were much appreciated. The restaurant was quite busy on the Friday night that we came, so we weren't too chuffed about the wait. Service was always kind, just short-staffed. It's nice to see a successful business in motion, and I hope these guys continue to do well. read more

I would have given 4 stars for food, but am deducting 1 star for service and experience during the payment process. We arrived on a Sunday night and were given the option of outdoor or indoor - since it was quite hot we decided to go outdoor as there was no AC inside. The outdoor seating is this tiny patio-like alley beside the restaurant. It ended up being a bit too chilly due to the draft, and there were weird little black ash bits/dirt periodically flying down on us... very strange. Would definitely sit inside next time. It felt like they had all new/junior staff serving the outside customers - the table behind us ordered a dish, then were told 20 minutes later that the dish they ordered couldn't be served outside for some reason or other (couldn't hear). They were offered the option to move inside or order something else, which they declined. When we ordered, we were asked if we wanted the half size or full size half kafta, half chicken. We opted for the half size, and added an order of the turkey flatbread as well. The food was delicious - the kafta/chicken came with salad and pita bread with four dips, all of which were delicious. One was a red pepper dip, one was similar to tzatziki, another was similar to hummus, and the last was an eggy dip. I wish they would have taken the time to explain what it was, but the young boy dropping off the pita practically ran away with a grunt after he delivered the food... We preferred the chicken over the kafta as it was juicy and flavourful - the kafta was a bit dry for us. Portions were large and we couldn't finish all the food. The gentleman that took our order and cleaned our table came back many times (6-7 times in an hour interval) to check on us and top up our water. When it came time to pay though, they had charged us for the full order of kafta/chicken and we didn't catch this till we were already leaving. The full order is about $28 while the half is about $19. I wish there were pictures on Yelp or provided by the restaurant about the size differences - as a first timer I would have no clue what size we were served, so wouldn't be able to alert our server to any issues right as the food arrived. This made our bill a lot larger than we were expecting and unfortunately I would hesitate before returning. I would definitely ask the server more questions regarding the size/billing etc. next time before we ordered. read more

I've been here a few times. The first time the service was super slow and we joked about it being a "slow thyme". Our second visit had much faster service. We ordered the kafta with rice entree, which came with a salad, 4 dips and a giant pita. Really good deal because we ordered the half kafta, which is already more than enough food. We also added the baked cauliflower wrap because it was really tasty the first time I had it. This time, they added too much tahini sauce so it overpowered the cauliflower and made the wrap too mushy, but still giant portions and authentic Lebanese cuisine. A local favourite.

If you haven't been here yet, you are sorely missing out. Dinner at Wild Thyme is always a great choice. You just can't go wrong with the kafta or lamb. Each dinner entree comes with a side salad, pita bread and a variety of dips. My favourite dip is the whipped garlic, I just can't get enough! It's creamy, flavourful, and garlicky. Goes great with the pita bread. The customer services is also top notch! read more

Loved the food and service here! My friend and I came to try out their lebanese food and adored everything that we tried! Their chicken and kafta rice bowl was huge even for a half size since it came with salad, 4 different dips and fresh baked pita! All of the dips were delicious but the favourite was the garlic one. Delicious and worth the stinky breath for hours afterwards. We also ordered one of their flatbreads that had tomatoes and onions with arugula on top. This was pretty good as well but because it took awhile before it arrived, we were already almost full! I liked how it was flavourful but not overwhelming. The great thing is that I believe it is family run so the food is fresh made plus service is thoughtful and honest. They suggested that a full size rice bowl would be too much and BOY WERE THEY RIGHT! Overall, the food here is delicious and worth a visit if you're into middle eastern flavours! read more

Great food and atmosphere. Staff was friendly and the food was fresh and tasty. Great restaurant for family dinners

The menu is concise and flavourful. The first moment with salad, bread and dips (Yogurt, garlic, Baba Ghanoush, and Hummus) was amazing, with a seasoning that blew my mind. The vegetarian option of dish, a cauliflower with rice was good. Again, seasoning is super well done, but the cauliflower was too soft, and the lack of texture can be an issue to some of us. The portions are generous and we didn't even ordered another thing (one cauliflower served 2 people and we brought A LOT of it home.) we are definitely getting back to order the flatbread for a vegetarian option. read more

The place is still amazing. Ambience: 4.5/5 Cute pieces from around, some Miyazaki art piece. Still a nice homely feel. The washroom is really not good though, it is unisex and smells Small space but it is kne of the things to love about it. Food: 5/5 Still amazing and wonderful food. Fragrant, bold, and well rounded. We had the Califlower Rice and it was so delicious and filling it is good for 2-3 people. It has pickles in the dish. Service: 5/5 Very busy but still very nice service. Worth: 5/5 A must go.

On Sunday night, my mom, a friend, and I went to Wild Thyme for dinner to celebrate our friend's birthday. My mom and I had never been, but it was recommended by our friend (and my mom had a coupon!), and I had heard good things about it from a co-worker, so I was excited to try it out. The menu was fairly limited, but there was still plenty on there that interested me. We decided to share a flatbread and a chicken and rice entree that came with salad and pita and dip, which was more than enough for the three of us! The fattoush salad, a mix of veggies and pomegranate seeds, was absolutely delicious, and we also enjoyed the lahmajoun flatbread (ground beef with tomatoes, onions, and arugula) and the entree of chicken and kafta (beef patties) with rice, despite the fact that we ordered chicken and rice. (Since we could all eat beef, we didn't bother correcting the mistake, although we had wanted chicken, since we had had a beef flatbread; but oh well, it was still good). While the food was good, and the staff were friendly, the service was slow, and a little odd. We were seated fairly quickly (it's a small place with very limited seating, and we must have arrived shortly after a table cleared out), and I was impressed that they brought two bottles of water right away -- always a good sign. However, after we ordered, it took a while for the food to come out (luckily we weren't in a huge rush or suffering from low blood sugar!). The salad was first to come out, and then long after we had finished the salad, the dips came out, and then several minutes later, the pita. (It wasn't a super long wait between the dips and pita, but it was long enough to be awkward, and I thought it was a little odd how the pita came out well after the dips, and not at the same time. No big deal, just weird.) It also took a while for the main entree to come out, but we were kept occupied by the salad, pita and dip, and flatbread. Overall, good food and I would go there again, but I wouldn't recommend the place if you're in a rush! Note: the restaurant is not accessible. The front of the restaurant is the kitchen, and to get to the small dining area (and washrooms), you must step down one step. [Yelp collections: Beware of stairs!] read more

Wild Thyme - Fattoush salad -- delicious! - Lebanese Near Me - New Westminster, British Columbia

Awesome small restaurant serving Lebanese food. The atmosphere is one of friendliness and familiarity. It has a homely feel with the wood fired oven burning merrily at the back of the place. You can see the flatbread dough going in to be baked, giving a lovely woodsy slightly charred scent. I first came here for a special event (fixed price) where there was a musician performing and a seemingly endless flow of food was sent to our table. It was a good way to try the food. After that I came back a few more times, introducing the food to other friends. The place is seriously small with just 6 tables. If you have a big group, reservations is highly recommended. Of all the dishes I tried, my favorite is the cauliflower bowl. I am not a big fan of vegetables or vegetarian food but somehow their baked cauliflower is just so good. I think it is the sauce, not sure what it is. Could be tahini or sesame. The flatbread is equally yummy, even the simple spicy cheese is delicious. The only item that can be better is any of the chicken dishes. Somehow the chicken is always a bit tough and dry. The lamb/beef will be better. The pita bread that comes with the rice bowl dishes is puffed up and big. I love it with the different dips. This is seriously my most frequented restaurant in New West area. Street parking is available and there is a bus stop right outside. How much more convenient can it get? Closed on Mondays. read more
