“Honestly, it is a super cozy and neat place with yummy options menu. We tried the lahm b ajeen, it was very tasty. And the Ayran they served is one of the best I've had actually. We wanted to try more things off the menu but we happened not to have cash on us and had forgotten the credit card back home haha.Being Lebanese, it reminded me of home. I bet this applies to Mediterraneans in general. And in what comes to Internationals, it is a glimpse into a cuisine that is not to be missed.You get to see your food being prepared and baked in front of you. And the more you look at the menu, the more you feel inspired to try new things.I cannot recommend anything specific yet, (since we only tried one thing) but you bet we'll keep returning until we try everything on the menu!Service was a bit too serious though.A must try.Vegetarian options: There are many MANY vegetarian and vegan options, zaatar/cheese manusheh, hummos, falafel etc..Wheelchair accessibility: If I remember correctly, it was accessible to people with wheelchairs“
“I went here for my birthday and the food was amazing. We had calamari to start, o had the rack of lamb and my partner had the duck. For dessert we couldn’t decide so we got the salted caramel crème brûlée and the chocolate soufflé. The server was so attentive in filling my wine, brought out a complimentary dessert and were visited by the chef to check in. Would definitely go back!“
“We had an absolutely incredible experience. The manager Diana and her team did a phenomenal job with really excellent service and the food was incredible! We were beyond pleased with every single aspect and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place to anyone!!!“
“The server recommended the monster burger, and she pointed to a side plate saying the burger was roughly that size. When it came out she was so exaggerating at all, the burger was massive and came with a soda and fries. The burger was amazing, and also supper adorable roughly 15 bucks for all of it.“
“Christian was the gentleman that serviced my friend and I for a birthday celebration. He was very professional and made us feel at home. We were also not rushed and therefore enjoyed our dining experience. The food was authentic, and the atmosphere reminded me of my time in Italy. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Thank you so much Il Nido and Christian!“
“This is an awesome place, excellent service, delicious and flavourful food and a beautiful ambience. We came for the first time and our server, Anna, was incredible - she was so enthusiastic, helpful, and caring. The incense was a unique touch and belly dancing sounded very cool!! Highly recommend coming here, fabulous experience!“
“Why have I never been here before!? The food is amazing, portions are HUGE, and the prices a super inexpensive, especially while other restaurants are raiding their prices to ridiculous levels.I HIGHLY recommend this place. The monster burgers are as big as a frisbee. Give it a try“
“Lovely Weekend Brunch restaurant!Came here for my birthday brunch and the food and service were all exceptional!We ordered the Croque Monsieur Benedict, Two Eggs any Style with Smoked Steelhead, and Seafood Crepes.Everything was delicious!Thank you to Ash and Pauline for making our experience so enjoyable and memorable.See you again soon!“
“Really enjoyable. Would recommend trying it out and would go back again. Chicken wrap was great. Seems a bit small but price is reasonable. Lamb platter had plenty of lamb. Good flavours although I did find the rice a little softer than I usually like.“
“March Thu 28 2024:Had Kleftiko. Wow you get 2 meals out of this! It's delicious.Chicken Slovakia is also tremendous. Give this restaurant a try. You won't be disappointed!June 3rd 2022 update:Just had the Kleftiko. Very generous portion of lamb. And the rice & potatoes taste great. You get 2 meals out of 1 order. Fantastic value for the price. Honestly try this restaurant out.---This is a fantastic restaurant. Local and delicious. Their Hawaiian pizza is great! Also enjoy their Greek platter for 2.I can't recommend this place highly enough.“
“Really a good food and service today we try chicken shawarma wrap very delicious. I really appreciate guys who made these delicious meals.I recommend this place .Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options are available here like salads , beans, Greek salad and much more.“
“They have Awsome Spinach Pie/ ispanak borek and Baklava and many other sweets. I use to go there 2 to 3 times a week before Turkish guys bought, but laity i had a super level of 6.9% percent and I had to quit eating sweets which I use to eat a kilo of Bawlawa aday. No more sweets for me but their Baklava and pies n other sweets are very tempting. The new owners are nice guys, Ahmet is Also Lincenced makes Turkish Raki, like the Greek Uzo.“
“There are many reasons for chosen a vegan restaurants. Ours was one of health and allergies. We are trying to eat healthy, and the right vegan restaurant can deliver a satisfying meal while allowing us to walk away without digestion discomfort. The Chickpea menu was confusing to begin with, it took us a while to understand how to choose something. I saw pictures of the crispy breaded tofu online and really wanted to order that. But I found out this particular option incorporates garlic. I also saw a platter delivered that looked attractive, but then I came to my senses – we came here because we wanted to eat healthy – and the platter I saw looked piled high with deep fried food! So, at the last minute, I chose what I am supposed to eat, salad with some sort of protein (yes, boring, I know). To go with the salad, I had to choose a Main, but there were only four items of Main without garlic, since I didn't want butternut squash, or eggplant, and some other vegetable, I was left of Calamachick, which thankfully, has a gluten-free batter. My better half chose poached egg on home fries with avocado. My salad bowl was quite huge. The oyster mushrooms were not chewy. To my surprise, I was able to finish the bowl of salad and only left one calamachick – and I didn't feel the bloated fullness that I would normally feel when eating non-vegan food. So, we ordered their secret recipe carrot cake with whipped coconut cream to celebrate. The vegan poached egg was quite amazing. It looked and tasted like a real poached egg with runny yolk. Their menu is extremely creative and full of items I'd like to discover, and much more interesting that another vegan restaurant north of them. Needly to say, WE WVILL BE BACK, but with caution simply because there are so many menu items that are deep fried. If we are really serious about eating healthy, we wouldn't be able to come very often because all of the items that attract me are deep fried!“
“Nice shawarma joint with tons of toppings and freshly shaved meat from the spit. Friendly owner and generous portions.I tried the chicken shawarma platter which was both filling and didn't feal greasy or unhealthy.Vegetarian options: Falafel“
“The prices are reasonable and the food is unique and quite good. The chicken shawarma meat was not the most delicious I have tasted, but the basra/kabsa rice and the house Homa soup was absolutely delicious. My barber is near here and I have walked by it a lot. Finally ordered through Uber Eats. It was nice. Generous portions. I would recommend the non-saffron rice option. I believe it was called basra or kabsa rice. The falafel was also very good. The soup was like a meat broth with some noodles and herbs. Really hearty and delicious. Really hit the spot.Vegetarian options: Falafel, salad, rice, hummus“
“This place is incredible!! The chicken wrap and the falafel wrap were amazing, the best I've had on the west coast, maybe the best I've had anywhere ever. I was super satisfied with my food and it was for a great price. The people who work the shop are also lovely.“
“Love the location, super cozy feeling upon entry! Super friendly staff. We ordered quite a few dishes to try between 3 adults and 1 child. We had burrata overload but who doesn't love some good burrata?!?Our personal favourite between the four pastas we ordered was the SPAGHETTI AMALFI ! We really enjoyed the squid ink pasta, the burrata just added extra OOMPH!We were really excited for the PAPPARDELLE “ROCHE ROCHE” but the spaghetti Amalfi really stole the show. I personally thought the pappardelle tasted OK maybe would be a bit better with a spicy sausage/sauce?All the pastas were cooked al dente, which was very nice.We thought the SPAGHETTI CARBONARA was alright and the BEEF RAVIOLI was underwhelming.Which was a bit surprising considering those were the two suggestioned from our server.However the bottle of red wine she suggested was lovely.Personally did not like the tiramisu but I think it's just personal preference on texture!Overall, the experience was good. Would definitely come back and sit at their cute patio!Kid-friendliness: Big comfy cushions, kid friendly!“
“Anytime I'm in Vancouver this is always a spot to go to. Birthday celebrations, lunch date or romantic dinner. The food is always delicious, flavorful and perfect balance of spices. I always recommend this place for anytime dinning. The staff are amazing and the recommendations are on point. ny favorite time to go are evenings - intimate and cozy. 5 stars !!!!“
“On Monday June 27th we stopped by about 1:00 pm to place an order for 12 people, for a 5:15 pm pickup. Amar was very helpful with menu suggestions and helping us decide how much of the different items would be needed. The order was ready to go at 5:15 as agreed. The food was beautifully prepared, fresh, flavourful and perfectly seasoned. Lamb and chicken were very moist. Prawns were perfectly cooked! Our family & friends were all very impressed and asked us which restaurant we’d ordered from! Delicious!! We will certainly order again! V. Paul, Point Grey“
“We had to wait for a seat since we were a larger group but we did get seated very quickly by the friendly staff. Our waiter was cute (Filipe) and friendly. Food was excellent and the staff always had our glasses filled. Certainly be back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
“The food was really good.Did not find the service top notch, though. We had to wait at the counter for some time despite booking a reservation, and no one even bothered to acknowledge us. It is okay to be busy, but normally, people would at least gesture that they would come to talk soon. The waiter also seemed very uninterested in taking the order for some reason.“
“Came from out of town, was looking for Mediterranean style food and I saw this place on google maps. If you want to eat something different you should buy the Shakshuka plate. Also the Falafel is amazing.The place is a bit hidden inside a building, but it is still in the ground floor as soon as you enter in the corner of Oak and 41st av.Coffee is really good, they use amazing beans from Milano coffee roasters.“
“Came here after a long day of classes from Langaroo!Amazing food!! I could smell the deliciousness coming from outside the cafe!!!The lady working here was very kind and recommended that I get one of the plates for dinner :)I ordered for dine-in, but they package the food in plastic containers regardless. I chose to take it home to eat LOL!Vegetarian options: Falafel is vegetarian! There were also vegetarian side dishes too :3“

“I often visit this place as a friend who used to study in the downtown area swears by this place. Love it. It's actually a bit far from me but my friend and I still visit from time to time to have their food.If you can handle the heat, the Chili Chicken is a must-have. If you don't want anything as spicy, their shawarma, bamboo chicken and lentils are still pretty good.“
“A favourite bar in Vancouver for light snacks & aperitifs. Barra 41 is the bar attached to Minerva's Greek restaurant (which has been around forever) and serves the same great quality food from it's kitchen. All the food & beer on tap is good, and you can also order from the restaurant menu. The atmosphere & service of this bar takes Barra the next levrl. Highly recommended and worth the trip to karisdale. Happy hour specials are offered daily from 3 - 5 PM.“
“Falafel Aladdin Café is a delightful spot for those craving authentic Middle Eastern cuisine. The falafel here is absolutely top-notch - perfectly crispy on the outside and flavorful on the inside. The friendly staff and cozy atmosphere make dining here a truly enjoyable experience. Whether you're a falafel fan or simply want to explore Middle Eastern flavors, Falafel Aladdin Café is definitely worth a visit.“
“Cavo Bar+Kitchen offers a refreshing take on contemporary dining with its vibrant atmosphere and innovative cuisine. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between elegance and comfort, making it ideal for both casual outings and special occasions. The menu showcases a diverse range of dishes, each prepared with a creative twist that elevates classic flavors. Particularly noteworthy are their seafood selections, which are always fresh and cooked to perfection. The cocktail list is impressive, featuring both classic and inventive options, with the mixologists displaying exceptional skill in crafting each drink. Service at Cavo is commendable; the staff is attentive without being intrusive, ensuring a delightful dining experience. While the prices are on the higher side, the quality of food and the overall experience justify the cost.“
“The food is excellent. If you want a quiet dining experience book for 5pm, after 6:30 it can get rowdy. I do have a gripe though, if the meat and chicken are halaal and the venue serves alcohol, then it should not be designated a halaal restaurant. I've experienced this at two so called restaurants recently. State our meat is halaal and not that it is a halaal establishment.“
