The food, environment and service were perfect. Free soup as an appetizer was delicious. It has an outdoor area as well. I felt I am in Iran. Thank you the beautiful and kind women's team. Good luck
Very cozy place with a nice atmosphere, nicer than I'd have expected from the pictures I saw before. The food is tasty but could be improved a little: the chicken was overcooked and dry (also too salty), the rice would have benefited from a sauce (for instance) as it was a little dry on its own. The lamb was quite good however. The olives appetizer was excellent. No liquor license, which is fine, but FYI. Prices are on the high end, which may be harder to justify for patrons who do not require halal ingredients. Will come back to try other dishes; this place has potential.
Great food and service. I have been coming only for take out so far but the servers are always nice and the food is great. I have only tried a few of their dishes but all has been delicious so far. Since I always get take out with them sometimes the kitchen is so nice and gives me extras like one more tomato which is always appreciated!! Will definitely be trying dine in soon!Highly recommended. Great food and staff.
This is one of the hidden gems of Vancouver. I was visiting Vancouver from Toronto with family that I stimbled upon Cleshmet; it is a cozy family-run restaurant with a good vibe. Server and the owners were really nice & accommodating. I'd visit them again for sure the next time I'm in town?
This restaurant is one of the kind. Food is great, and healthy. This is not a typical international restaurant, it is obvious that ingredients are fresh and made healthy. their Kabab, chicken, rich, lamb, even desert are cooked with care. I took my 10 guest from other city, and their service was excellent. soup, salad and main dishes came on in a flow without delays. I am so pleased and will go there in close future. Thank you.
Absolutey wonderful cute little place to go if you love Persian food like us. The food is delicious & the quantity of the food is very good. We loved the outside patio space. The staff at this place are so nice and kind. We would definitely go back and would also recommend this place to others.
This cozy restaurant has left the best impressions! Hospitable hosts, delicious dishes, beautiful presentation. The atmosphere is chill and cool but the staff is also really friendly. They know what they’re doing and what they’re talking about, and you can tell making the customers happy is their main priority. The food is really good, with some amazing vegan Persian dishes. Their vegan kobide kebab is to die for. ?IT WAS FIRE!! The service we received was so amazing and we will be back again. Shout out to the kitchen!!! You guys are rock!!
Loved the service but the food is too expensive for the quality. I tried all the Persian food restaurants in metro Vancouver except this one, just because of the location being out of our way. Today my husband and I made time to go.From the beginning to end our server was amazing. I didn’t ask her name, she seemed to be new but she went above and beyond to make sure we are happy. She was super polite as well.We ordered vaziri and lamb shang and Ghormesabzi. The joojeh kabob was dry and koobideh was ok. Meat quality was good but texture and taste was ok. I had much better kebob for way cheaper. The lamb was tasty but the sauce was just too little for the dish, when I asked for more, kitchen sent this watery sauce that tasted like chicken like the diluted zereshkpolo with chicken juice not lamb shank sauce.We asked for some tahdig, they didn’t charge us for it but the tahdig was very bad.The Ghormesabzi was delicious.They cheap out on saffron big time. It was diluted and very little on top.The rice was ok not meeting my expectations at all at that price point.It might have been because of Covid and I understand businesses are barely making it. Overall won’t go back.
Ordered the beef/lamb kebab dish. one kebab had a curly hair embedded in the meat. Didn't seem like the ladies in the back were wearing any hair nets or anything. Service was non existent as the one server stayed behind the plexiglass behind the register the whole time. The meat was OK. Not overly dry but not overly juicy either. could have used more sauce/flavoring.
This place is operated by a Persian mother daughter duo and you definitely can taste the love in their food. Very warm welcome with a complimentary bowl of barley soup. The kebobs were delicious, juicy mad tender. Would definitely go again.
