My coworker and I came here on a Saturday afternoon, we got a reservation ahead of time and I'm glad we did because this place was pretty busy. We got their aperol spritz for drinks which was very refreshing, would recommend this for the summer. For food, we got their dip platter and chose their hummus, labne, and baba ghannouj. My coworker was gluten-free so they were very nice to give us some gluten free chips instead of the bread with the dips. We also got their halloumi fries which came with a pomegrante dipping sauce - I LOVED IT! The halloumi fries were cooked so well! We also got their prawns which were really fresh and delicious. I would definitely come back! Their hummus was so good, it's for sure a very authentic Lebanese spot.

I ordered a hibiscus tea while I waited for my friend. It was incredibly refreshing and flavorful, the best I have ever had. For food, we shared a bunch of stuff. We got a dip sampler with labneh, hummus, and an eggplant dip. All were fantastic and came out beautifully. They brought gluten free crackers out for me as well. The shrimp was divine. Garlicky, flavorful, so good. Will be thinking about this for a while. Definitely order sides, as the proteins just come with the protein listed unless you do a lunch special. The halloumi fries were incredible and came with an amazing sauce. Fried in a dedicated gluten free frier- amazing. The food was paired with a lovely aperol spritz, a lovely patio, and a kind and attentive server. Would go back every week if I could.

We got a few items to share: lamb shank with rice and the makanek and kashkaval manoushe. The lamb shank with rice, side salad and came with their signature pita bread along with the 4 dips: garlic, hummus, yogurt and baba ghanouj. The portion size was good and the food was delicious. I really like their manoushe. It goes well with the dip. The food was made fresh upon ordering.

This was a terrific find in good old Surrey, not far from our lodgings…read more The Proprietor has every pastry imaginable from Syria including some items which are familiar (Lebanese sweets). The fatayer, lachma b'ajeen, ma'amoul, my personal favorite graibe are all here baked on the premises. He has a sublime looking knaifeh and baklawas. Small place but full of brilliant Syrian and Middle Eastern delights. The ma'amoul he makes are better than mine per my husband. Definitely recommended.

Saba had been recommended to me by a colleague a day before when I was visiting Vancouver BC to teach a class. His recommendation was the Lamb Haneeth that was a lamb shoulder that was slow cooked underground in pots for 8 hrs so that the lamb fell off the bone and just melts in your mouth. It sits on top of a bed of flavored rice from the slow roasted juices of the lamb. Wow, just describing it makes me wanna go back as soon as I can to have it again! We also got the Flat Bread that was baked in a flame oven with melted butter . It was so crispy but chewy and lite.. SOO GOOD! I would not have found this place without my new friend's recommendation...

First (and only) Yemeni restaurant in town!…read more Came in for brunch for the first time and was immediately drawn in by the waffle photos I ended up ordering the savoury waffle made with potato instead of flour. The texture was great, just a little on the oily side. The charred beef had a nice Chinese wok-style flavour, paired with a giant tandoor bread--really interesting combo! Both hot drinks were solid, but I especially loved the cinnamon latte. It really warmed me up.

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.
