Amazing food and great value. We tried one of the flat breads where you get half and half of two flavours. The main we ordered was a meat and rice dish that also came with salad, pita and sauces. It was so much food for 3 people but was worth it. Decent beer selection as well. Definitely worth trying this place. The service is great and all super friendly. I haven't had this food anywhere else in the city before. read more

Before an appointment in New West, we decided to go for lunch in the area. I'd never heard of Wild Thyme before but all the reviews raved about the quality Lebanese food. We dropped in on a Saturday at noon. There was only one table occupied when we first arrived but the room gradually filled up. Service was friendly and helpful; two young servers worked well together and both were enthusiastic. They even opened the door for us when we left (that never happens anymore). The menu is split into man'oushe, wraps & greens, entrees, desserts and drinks. Entrees are huge and meant to be shared. We shared a half bowl between two but could easily have been split with three. - Tea - they bring you out a complimentary pot of black tea that's hot and refillable. - Za'atar man'oushe ($8.95) - I can never say no to anything with za'atar in it. The za'atar was made fresh in their brick oven. The sliced cucumber and diced tomatoes was a nice touch but I would have liked more added on top. - 1/2 kafta - 1/2 chicken ($22.95 half bowl) - beef meat patty and marinated chicken breast served with rice, onions and tomatoes topped with tahini sauce. This also came with fattoush salad, homemade pita and four dips. The meat patty was moist and had good flavour but the chicken was slightly dry. The rice was excellent and had a lot of unique spices mixed into it. - Fattoush salad - pomegranate, cucumber, peppers, tomato, red onion and parsley. A touch of citrus from the dressing. Good way to start our meal. - Pita and dips - the pita comes straight from the oven. Fresh and pillowy soft. Perfect to go with the four types of dips; my favourite was the toum (garlic sauce) but the red pepper hummus was also delicious. It almost tasted like roasted sundried tomatoes. Hummus and the tahini were a bit more standard. Overall, great quality and we had plenty of leftovers to take home. Bring a group so you can share all the dishes! 4.5 stars. read more

Very tasty food and great service. Overall ambience was very nice and we had a good time.

Great food. Excellent service. Had ordered a half chicken which came with the flat bread. I bet you will walk out full with $50 for 2 people. read more

There was a thyme (hehe) when my partner and I were visiting this place weekly! We came here on a whim and enjoyed the food and ambience! I have brought family and friends here for celebrations before Covid. Their portions are huge and depending on what you order, you get a salad and dips plus bread to go with your meal. My photos do not do justice, but I promise the food is great! read more

People are talking about this place everywhere. I ate there a while ago with my daughter and her husband, and it was the closest to a restaurant that we ate at in Amman. My mouth waters as I write this, remembering the rich aromas and spice. It was crowded when I was there - but that was pre-covid. Be patient. It's worth it. read more

Excellent service and the food is so flavorful and delicious would recommend 100%. First time customers and will definitely be back.

Disappointing changes since last visit. I used to be a regular but portions have come down. Food is not served as advertised. i.e. No Fatoush salad with the Kafka / chicken dinner and we were billed the same amount for 1/4 kafta as you would pay for 1/2 kafta .... Never going back! read more

I wish I could be here more often. In my opinion, I think that this restaurant is one of the Halal restaurants in the Lower Mainland. Options on the menu were amazing and the food portions were generous. We had a very large pita bread for our appetizer along with four dips and waited for our food for about 15 to 20 minutes after ordering. We ordered Spicy Cheese Man'Oushe and Chicken with Rice for entrees. The foods were made fresh and it was awesome. They gave us so much food that even for leftovers, it was enough for two meals for me and my friends. Quantity wise it was good and quality wise it was absolutely terrific. The restaurant is not located in a popular location, but it is worth the trip to come and try their amazing delicacies. Truly a hidden gem in the Lower Mainland. read more

Food was great and the service was very friendly. We went for my mom's birthday, the atmosphere was a bit loud for her as she's 75 so she had a hard time hearing but the rest of us were OK. read more

My foul dish was a little.... foul. Came by here for some food in the evening, and found ourselves waiting 30-40 minutes for our take out food . We ordered the 4 cheese topping Man 'Oushe' and the Foul. The Man 'Oushe is huge which is crazy, something to share between a few people. I found it a little greasy, but otherwise really good. The pita bread is nice and fresh, and really soft and tender in the center where the toppings are layered over. The foul was something interesting on the other hand... we got it with chick peas and it had a very strong vinaigrette / vinegar taste to it. Also seemed like a lot of oil just floating on the top of it. I've had tahini elsewhere, and thought it to be more creamy, but this was definitely a soup despite being advertised under the wraps and greens section. You could dip your pita into it, though I'm very confused to whether this was meant to be a spread due to how liquidity and soupy it was. The flavors didn't really match to create anything special as the vinaigrette taste was very overpowering. I'd like to give this place another try in the future due to how popular it generally is, but I might hold back for awhile after having the foul in particular. read more

So good. So much food, you'll never go hungry getting Jesus from this place. Everything is amazing, from the flatbreads to the chicken and beef dishes on rice and everything in between. The menu isn't long or varies much, but the thing that they do and the flavors they have perfected, means that you get something great every time. read more

I've been waiting to go to this place for the longest time and when I finally got the chance, it exceeded expectations. I got a seat right by their open windows which made enjoying the food even better. The service was phenomenal - someone came by periodically to refill our waters, clear up space, and check in with us. No one rushed us to clear the table as they kept bringing out more water without asking well after we finished our meals. The food itself came piping hot. We got the 1/2 bowl chicken with rice which comes with pita, dips, and salad. Delicious all around and I'll definitely be back. read more

Really good food - but miss the days when the place was more basic and the prices not through the roof

This place is absolutely delicious. It was a cold, rainy November day. We arrived to Wild Thyme, a small, charming spot. We were seated by the window and promptly served hot tea, just what we needed. I had been wanting to try Wild Thyme for a while, and I'm so glad I came. My friend and I weren't too hungry, so we decided to share a half chicken, half meat rice. This not only came with a fresh salad, but also homemade pita, and an assortment of dips. The baba ganoushe is the best. The rice dish takes a bit to cook, but it is worth the wait. There is a good amount of both the chicken and the meat patties, which were marinated well. The rice was flavourful and perfectly cooked, alongside the tomatoes, was my favourite. Even though the two of us were sharing the meal, we could barely finish it. The service here is attentive; we were even offered an extra pita. The tea was refilled consistently, and the owner checked on us often. I would definitely return. read more

This place is amazing whether you eat in or take out. We probably ordered from here 12 times in the past couple of years and it's always so consistently good. We usually get the kafta with rice and a lahmajun flatbread. Their bread and dips are so good. I also don't think I've actually wanted to eat the salad that comes with a meal more. The fresh herbs and pomegranate are so tasty. read more

Very good food, so very tasty. Excellent cozy feeling restaurant worth the wait. Be wary of the bowls of your a big eater you can probably finish a full order and I mean big eater. If regular get the half and even then you might have to share read more

High quality authentic Lebanese food. Very generous portions and you can't go wrong on the menu, everything is delicious. They give you a lot of free appetizers as well. The salad is free, lettuce with tomatoes, cucumber and pomegranate. It has a nice touch of sweet citrus taste to it. Their handmade flatbread is baked in a brick oven that can be served plain or with toppings. We ordered the half Zatar, half cheese and it was delicious! Wonderful place! read more

We took four. friends that had not been there before. Everything was incredible. We all had the half Kafka/ half chicken with rice. But it's the whole meal that come with it that's the impressive part First the Fatoush salad with mixture of lettuce , radishes parsley onions and pomegranate with pomegranate dressing opens your palate for the Fresh giant pillow of pita hot from the oven. The four dips that come with it are a meal in itself. It's a blast of flavour that have to be tasted to be described. Our sever was excellent. Presentation was top notch. Warm and intimate decor an ambience. Great beer and wine selections. A memorable evening. Very reasonably priced. You will not go home hungry read more

I came here with my husband and mother on a Friday evening during the busy Xmas season. I made reservations and was quickly seated upon arrival. We didn't know what to order so we asked the our server what she suggested and we went with her suggestions of a topped flat bread, 1/2 meat and 1/2 chicken bowl and a baked cauliflower dish. It also came with free flat bread (and some Lebanese dips) and an amazing green salad with a pomegranate and herb dressing. The (unlimited!) flat bread was freshly made in their brick fire oven! We all loved the green salad and my mom kept fishing for the recipe . The owner was kind enough to share the ingredients. The entrees were also amazing. The portion sizes are huge (excellent value!!) and the food is full topped full of vibrant, fresh veggies! Each dish was full of flavour and extremely satisfying. The owner tells us that all his foods are made from scratch- a huge plus!! The staff are friendly and even the kitchen staff were always smiling (they have an open kitchen concept). The owner, Marwan, is clearly very passionate about the food quality and his staff. It's very rare and delightful to see. We left with a very happy tummy, great dining experience and even some leftovers!! My husband and I share this hidden gem with our friends and can't wait to come back! Even my mom is still talking about this delightful meal she had- it's been a month ago! read more

One of my favourite restaurants without a doubt! I graduated from a respected culinary school and was a chef by trade for nearly a decade. The food here is EXCELLENT and a great value. The fresh handmade flatbread is baked in a brick oven, they come out looking like beautiful pillows...if you have coeliac disease these may be worth dying over ;) I usually order the 1/2 Meat(Beef) / 1/2 Chicken Bowl, it comes with the flatbread and dip plate(tzatziki, houmous, red pepper, etc. topped with good olive oil) and also a salad which is tossed in an amazing house-made dressing and sprinkled with pomegranate seeds. If you've never tried authentic Lebanese food, you won't be disappointed here. The service is also impeccable. The owner really has a passion for food and is always there catering to everyone's needs. It's so good I try to visit at least once a week even though I don't live very close, it's worth going the distance. Top notch food and hospitality~! Don't mind any of the negative reviews on Yelp, this restaurant is still relatively new and experienced growing pains like any new business. They have recently renovated and hired more staff, things are looking good! read more

Wild thyme was good though. I was amazed by the stone oven when i entered the place. The place is a bit small though so you would wanna come early to avoid the queue and a bit very constrict so it would feel very constricted. Nonetheless, i ordered the quarter kafta and quarter chicken with rice. It served with salad, homemade pita bread and 4 dippings. The garlic dipping was the best in my opinion then comes with the hummus then the yoghurt then the baba ganoush. Even though i usually like the baba ganoush but this one i just didnt like the after taste. The homemade pita bread was humungous and was amazing thanks to the stone oven. The kafta and chicken were good too! They were cooked good and especially the rice. Unfortunately, the baklava wasnt that good. I have tried a lot better ones than the one i got here, but gladly it was taoen off from our bills. Thank you for the attention from the manager i suppose for the baklava and every of the food. Cheers! Its a very good comfortable food! read more

It's good. Lots of food. I really liked the bread and dips! My bowl was a bit burnt and I probably wouldn't want the spice on top next time (cinnamon I think). Everything is very flavourful.

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

Authentic middle eastern food. Everything is carefully prepared and tasty. Portions are huge.

This place is tiny. I did not expect it to be a sit down restaurant. I seriously thought it was a grab and go or eat quickly and leave kinda place. But service was impeccable! The owner was really warm and friendly from the moment I came in till the end. I'm not uber familiar with Lebanese cuisine and might have had it once or twice in my life. I saw the 5 star reviews and decided to drop by since I was doing errands within the vicinity. There were two popular dishes that the owner recommended but I didn't know which to choose so I asked for his personal favourite and he said there's no way to choose between either or. It's like deciding over pasta and pizza. So he suggested that I get the 1/2 chicken and 1/2 meat bowl and he'd let me try one of their popular flatbreads. On top of that I also ordered their yoghurt drink (which he warned me, was salty and not sweet) and some cookie they were making that day. Little did I know how much food was coming. First it was the salad. Then comes this gigantic pita with 4 spreads. ...And the flatbread which wasn't as mini as I thought. Last came the bowl. As I know what was to come next, I just sample each item and had to pack the rest to go. I definitely had a Lebanese feast and overall, it's tasty and worth the price for what you're getting. Especially if you get the bowls. It comes with the protein of your choice, rice and veggies. Plus you get the salad and pita. The flatbread was yummy too but if I were to order one I think I'd go for something that's more spicy or the one with pomegranate molasses. Not quite sure which one he made for me but I know it wasn't either of the above mentioned. The yoghurt drink was different. He told me it was made in house and it did tasted so. But the saltiness made me think of liquefied goat's cheese. The cookie was delicious. It was of a shortbread texture but cost you $1.50 each. Due to the small space, I'd recommend calling for a reso if you're coming at prime dinner time. I came around 4 and majority of the tables were occupied. If I remember right, there was 3 two seaters and 2 four seaters. read more

Sad when a gem is no longer a gem... Been to this restaurant back in January before the word got out and it became popular and busy. Back then it offered pita and dips complimentary to the meal and flat bread enough for 2 was about $9. Fast forward to June... you have to pay for pita and dip. And prices have gone up. For $15.95 Armenian sausage flatbread (was $8.95 previously)... it is no longer packed with sausage and the sides like salad and olives is more sparse now. Customer service is a hit and a miss. Tables seem to be dirty from customers and a piece of paper meant as placemat covers somewhat of a sticky table. Not sure if I'll be back. The decor and ambiance is a bit to be desired. Limited seating and for the price I can think of many meals I can have now in New west since the city has upped its food scene. read more

Wild Thyme - Armenian sausage flatbread - Lebanese Near Me - New Westminster, British Columbia

I've been to this place about 5 times now and every single time the food is consistent. I can really appreciate that. My go to order is the half chicken half kofta. You can get a half order of that or a full order. It comes with a salad and 4 different types of dip with a freshly made lavash (bread). This place is always packed and with good reason, I usually have to take my order to go because the wait times are so crazy. Hopefully they will start taking reservations so I can eat in. The overall value of this place is 10/10 it's an affordable place for quality food read more

Wild Thyme - The half chicken half kofta - Lebanese Near Me - New Westminster, British Columbia

Long overdue and after trying Wild Thyme will quickly be back on the return visit list. Everything was perfect! The flavours and aromas were as good as the quick and multi-unit team work. I love Lebonese food because it's bold and earthy. It's one of those cuisines that feels like healthy eating, without sacrificing anything for flavour. Our order of Kafta and Rice was precursed by a salad mix of lettus, radish, parsley and other herbs topped with a basalmic vinegar. Then came 4 bowls each containing a different dip: hummus, yoghurt dill, baba ganoush, and garlic mayo. The intent of these dips was to enjoy the first WW of the show, a giant fresh oven baked pita. Have you ever seen a freshly baked pita? As many know, a pita can be split open to reveal a pocket, which after it comes out of the oven is filled with air like a half-inflated basketball; impressive! Now break off a steamy morsel and dip and enjoy. When the Kafta and Rice arrived, we continued with the happy dance. It should be noted, the hummus was high quality, meaning you could taste the tahini, which is where many cheap out, it not here. Complimented with a Hazy Pale Ale from @yellodog brewery - Perfect. We will be back and Next time we'll try a huge flat bread like Lahmajoun. read more

Delicious lebanese restaurant in New West! Huge portions and amazing flavours! Concise menu with vegetarian options (but beware their rice is chicken-broth based). Small restaurant but great service. Would highly recommend! read more

Had the flat bread. I was undecided, so I asked the host what he recommended. He said that the one with Armenian sausage and cheese was the most popular. But the one with spicy tomatoes and olive oil caught my eye. So, he accommodated and made of order of flatbread with half-half. Best of both orders! Staff was great, food was great, seating outside on a summer night was awesome. Like eating in a quaint garden. read more

Probably the best $10 (tip included) lunch I've ever had! The kebab was super tasty and fresh. Very nice ingredients and just the right amount sauce. One star docked as i waited around 45 mins for lunch. I had to feed the metre. Staff is lovely and I'd come back for a date night or lunch when I had lots of time. The outdoor, small area at the side is shady and pleasant during summer. read more

The service was "meh" at best. It was busy and the waitress was very short, and looked very grumpy. She scowled when I asked for ice in my water. One of the dishes we had, the flatbread with spicy Armenian sausage was absolutely amazing. While the other dish, the half kafta and half chicken dish served with rice was just gross. It tasted very sour. Neither my husband or I ate more than two bites of the meat, and the rice was bland and not worth eating. The restaurant itself is small, but nice enough. I really liked the tables. Unfortunately, we would definitely not eat there again, or recommend it to anyone. read more

Absolutely fabulous! It's likely one of my all time favourites! The food is outstanding! Lovely people as well!

DIAMOND in the rough!! This place is DELICIOUS. My cousin and I came here on a Saturday evening while I was visiting since she knows I LOVE Lebanese food. So of course I starved myself in anticipation for a feast. Unfortunately we didn't make reservations and there were two big parties already seated and there was no room for us and the wait would've been a while. But the host/ server was SO friendly and we just decided to order to go cuz I was not leaving without some delicious food haha. We ordered the 1/2 meat 1/2 chicken rice bowl that comes with pita/ salad and hummus (ps only $16.95!) and because of the trouble the server threw in zataar on te house. BONUS. So as soon as we received our fresh out of the oven, fluffy pita bread to go we rushed to the car and just ate in there cuz we couldn't wait until we got home!! Guys... the food is .com!! The beef and chicken are soo tender!! The basmati rice with yogurt just adds to the deliciousness. We even decided to go back in and get the 4 dips which also were DELICIOUS. I wish I had place like this in Seattle. Well next time I come up here I'll make sure to stop by again! read more

Wild Thyme - Small inside to make reservations if u can! - Lebanese Near Me - New Westminster, British Columbia

I have been going to this restaurant since last year and I really enjoy the food here. I love the fresh bread they serve, the salad is amazing and the rice, chicken yum and kafta is amazing . Last time when I went I found the rice to be a bit oily. This time we sat at the patio, it was really nice had a kind of European feel of the sitting area . It's great from adults to sit there but not that great for toddlers . My daughter couldn't sit in the high chair because the tables were too low, so I ended up putting her on a regular chair . They don't take reservation and closed at lunch time . Make sure you give yourself enough time when you go to this restaurant . The bathroom could be a bit more tidy. The interior decor is nice . The staffs are friendly and accommodating . I will Keep on going back to this restaurant . read more

Nice to see some changes - additional help and an incredible improvement in speed of service, with no compromise in taste!

Probably the best Lebanese food I've had. We have been here twice now, the second time we drove up from Seattle just to have dinner here. The owner Marwan is really friendly and makes you feel so warm and welcome. They start you off with their special tea made with herbs and spices; the most perfect beverage for a cold winter night. They Chicken Rice Bowl in insanely delicious; very tender and juicy chicken, super flavorful rice and tomatoes and onions. Massive portion. It comes with the largest and freshest Pita you've ever seen and an assortment of dips and a huge side salad. You can also ask for more pita if you like. This alone is easily enough to feed two hungry people. We also got the half zatar half cheese flatbread which was delicious albeit a tad too cheesy. Our second time here, Marwan made us a zatar, cheese and veggie flatbread on the house to show his appreciation for us driving all the way there. I think it was extremely generous of him and the dish itself was absolutely outstanding. Our friends got the Cauliflower Bowl and it was without doubt the most delicious cauliflower I've ever tasted in my life. I still can't believe they can make something that bland taste that good. Don'e be deceived with the apparent small size of this bowl. It is actually really filling. Definitely recommended and I will most certainly go back here every time I drive up north. The best food and the best service I've experienced in the greater Vancouver area. read more

3.5 Food was great but service was beyond slow. And the cooking of onions ?? Spread throughout the entire place and all 4 of our eyes were stinging like crazy !!! Never experienced that in a restaurant. If you go, get the half chicken-half meat dish. Legit what it's called, not sure why they don't consider chicken as a meat ?? Super delicious. As far as the huge pita that come with it goes, tasty. But the 4 dips that came with were questionable...besides the hummus. read more
