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 got their Grilled Lebanese Arayes Akawi Cheese (Pita Bread with Akawi Cheese grilled). The cheese was nonexistent existent and the photo comes with veg which never came. I also got the Falafel plate (Five falafels with rice, fattoush and tabouli salad, hummus, tahini, a stuffed grape leaf, and pita bread). I said no rice which they offered fries instead! Great, yes. I said no pita as well and added sides of their garlic sauce and their spicy garlic sauce. This plate is huge! Easily 2 meals. Mines came with rice and no fries and pita. Also, their spicy garlic sauce was just hot sauce. The stuffed grape leaf was not fresh and was not right. The salads, falafel, and even rice are good. But would not make another visit.

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.

The food can be had either in shawarma form ($8), or in plate form (shawarma with sides such as rice) ($15 or so). They must be making a killing here. The place is a bit slow to make the food, but the quality is decent. However, the sauce is a bit on the liquidy side. I ended up making a mess when my lunch leaked. Not sure if anyone cares, but they have gluten free options. Worth trying once, but the price makes me hesitant to come by too often.

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.

Was hoping to be met with a robust, traditional flavour profile with the 'national dish of Egypt',…read morethe koshary, and found it to be the predictable 'Victoria boring and bland' version neutralized for white folk's lack of cultural foodie adventurousness. It tasted like something a UVic student whipped up on a dorm-room hot plate on a budget, with the few ingredients they had on hand, minus the coriander which should have been forward. Accompanying garlic sauce lacked the taste of garlic entirely, was more a vinegar condiment. Staff was friendly, tables were clean and food arrived promptly. However, the vibe is a middle-eastern fast food joint that provides the bare minimum basics while leaving you wondering if you should have just ordered it as take out. Won't likely be eating there again anytime soon, unfortunately. Also, WTF is with the INSANE number of 'Defender' security cameras ALL OVER the restaurant, like it's normal to have that much surveillance in a little restaurant. That alone is a major turnoff.

The food took quite a while to come out considering there were no more than 14 people in the restaurant. Server was nice and answered the questions we had. BBQ ribs: 3.5/5 tender and fall off the bone. The flavour was ok. The sauce was good but the meat itself wasn't flavored well without the sauce. Chicken liver parfait: 5/5 this was my highlight. Generous portion of liver. Beautifully plated with sweet, savoury, components including different textures. Bread was soft, fluffy and warm. Jamaican jerk chicken rice ice bowl: 2/5 Came a bit confusing. We had to clarify with the sever that this was indeed the jerk chicken bowl. Nothing screamed Jamaican. It was more Taiwanese fried chicken with a kicked up Tabasco sauce on top of Chinese fried rice with a bit of dry jerk seasoning sprinkled into it. Flavor wise, it wasn't bad but Jamaican jerk flavours it was not. For $26 I wanted full Jamaican flavours. Would I come back? Probably not. Would I stop people from going? Also probably not.
