Cozy place with not a lot of seating but enough for 25 people to be accommodated at one time. At the front counter , you will see all deserts on the menu so easy to pick and choose. All good is delicious and I have tried almost everything as you can see the pictures I have uploaded. Vegetarian people will not go hungry here as they have abundance of vegetarian items on the menu. Bonus point that they are open until 11:00 pm

Best fresh Shawarma in Langley!…read more Authentic Middle Eastern food and absolutely delicious every time. We just discovered this little gem of a restaurant when walking down the "One Way" portion of Fraser Highway. It is tucked in close to Salt Lane. We have visited several times now and each time the food and flavour profiles have been delicious and well presented. We have tried the shawarma, quozi (sp?). kanafe, falafel wraps, okra soup (served with rice) and Lamajeen (breakfast pizza of sorts). The portions sizes are good and the food comes out freshly prepared each time. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner and are one of the first restaurants open in the mornings on the "one way". Shahzarad has options to satisfy most people (hallal meat, vegetarian choices, pasta or fries options (perhaps for kids whose palates may not be too adventurous yet ;). The service is friendly and polite. We were left with time to enjoy our meal and never felt rushed. If you are looking for great food in a casual dining environment, then this is for you. :) Free wifi and street parking. Update: you can also order on Uber, Skip and Door Dash

We had the Vaziri Kabab with lamb koobideh at Avishan Persian Restaurant, and it was absolutely…read moredelicious. The meat was perfectly seasoned, tender, and full of authentic flavor. Everything tasted fresh and was cooked just right. The best compliment came from someone in our party who is known for being the toughest food critic in our family--and even they were genuinely impressed with the quality and taste of the food. If you're looking for authentic Persian cuisine, I highly recommend Avishan Persian Restaurant. We'll definitely be back!

This place had good reviews so we decided to try it…read more Located in a cozy street of small and boutique shops. Parking is easy street parking. We come for lunch around 2pm on a Saturday and it was not full. They do have Middleastern music in the background but a nice hearing level which doesn't interrupt conversation. Simple restaurant but minimalist tastefully decorated. As soon as we came in we were greeted, walked to our table and Tea and Water was brought to our table. This restaurant is from Iran so they had typical dishes from that country. A lot of them have a base of yogurt, so it is not Vegan friendly, except for salads and the Veggie Kabob. We ordered a Chicken Kabob and Slamon Kabob. Both dishes came with rice and a small salad. Everything was very tasty and portions were reasonable. Chicken was so soft you didn't need a knife to cut it. Salmon melted in your mouth. Food was super fresh. They do take their time cooking it at the spot. We waited like 20min for our Main Dishes to be cooked.

Saha poutine had tons of interesting toppings, from halloumi to tahini to fried onions. Very substantive and easy to pretend it's a bit healthier than most poutines. The fries had a good flavor but I wished they were a tiny bit crisper. The pita wrap was a stand out dish - it popped with fruit and crunch. Service was quick and friendly, and the restaurant was clean and modern with a nice indoor/outdoor space. A more casual restaurant that's great for a laid back lunch or dinner.

I had the Sampler Plate, which includes baba ganouj (baba ganoush) or hummus (your choice -- I…read morechose both, half & half), falafel, dolma, roasted veggies (broccoli, which was a bit burned, and eggplant, which was sooo delicious), couscous, and pita. First, the couscous is not the usual couscous we've all had. This is Lebanese couscous, which is so different as to be unrecognizable as "couscous". It is so very good, I could have a whole meal of that and be happy. I generally prefer baked falafels, but this fried one was great; crispy on the outside, and soft and green on the inside. I've avoided dolma in the past, as I had it once years ago and it was terrible. But this dolma was good enough for me to stop avoiding it in the future. People were very nice, and it took less than 10 minutes for my order to be ready. It's a grocery store with a deep selection of many items, such as spices, pastas, canned fish, .... (see photos). I enjoyed this enough, I came back again about a week later for another Sampler Plate meal. My only slight peeves are, I wish there were a bit more to the salad (which isn't even listed as one of the sampler items, so a bit hard to complain!), and that the pita had some whole grains in it (I find white wheat boring).

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.

The server was nice and polite and we were quickly served a couple glasses of water and given the menu to peruse. The interior although we did not sit inside i did see when I went in to check in. It was very nicely decorated and looked cozy. I ordered a vaziri kebab and wifey ordered a chicken curry. We also ordered for starters a kashk o bademjoon. When the food arrived they were beautifully plated and the colors amazing. I had a taste of the starter and was delighted at the texture and flavor. Very tasty. My dish of kebabs were seasoned well and the meat was moist. Every bite was delicious with a mouth full of the rice. The was a side of salad on the plate as well, get your veggies in ;) but the star of the plate is the kebab. Wife's dish was spicy for her and she ended up taking it home as she's not good with hot spice. I think the spice level for me was fine, nice kick to it. Over all very nice meal and pleasant server.

I read rave reviews about the chia seed lemonade, and it was just as good and refreshing as everyone said. I noticed a sign indicating that they will be relocating to a different spot in Steveston; I'll make sure to post a picture of that sign. I definitely recommend trying this place!

Even though it was close to closing, this family run business still cooked up an amazing combo platter for me. The combo platter had chicken, kebab, beef, tomatoes over rice.

I was only going to eat half and save half for tomorrow, but I ended up eating majority of the entire plate and fell asleep in food coma bliss. 10/10 I would do it again.
