Tasty Middle Eastern place on Kingsway…read more Parking is available on Kingsway, as well as the side streets. The place is pretty bare bones. Grey walls, and a TV. The place is set up more for takeout, and gets pretty busy around dinner time. Staff are friendly. No complaints. The portion sizes here are surprisingly large. They use takeout containers, but they pile the food up real nice. Buddy and I were both pleasantly surprised. Special mention. The lamb shawarma was pretty tasty. Served with regular salad (lettuce), a pile of tabbouleh (parsley salad), other toppings such as pickles and jalapenos, and some pita and hummus. I did not leave hungry. Great value, great price. I would definitely come back at some point. Recommended.

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.

We also had to ask for some items several times before they were brought to our table. My friend asked for a side of onions and wasn't told there would be an additional charge on the bill for those.

We were greeted with a warm embrace and a comforting welcome drink of chai tea paired with delicious finger foods. ​The Dine-Out menu was impressively extensive. While we initially struggled to choose just one salad, one soup, one cold mezze, and three mains, we were thrilled to learn it functioned like a Mediterranean All You Can Eat--allowing us to order more dishes as we went. We felt like kids in a candy store, eager to explore the vibrant, exotic flavours. The mango-infused dishes were a standout! ​The service was impeccable. One server even followed us outside just to hand us cardamom cookies for the road. Many restaurants treat Dine Out as a budget-set menu, but East is East used it to truly showcase their best work. We left with new favorites and a plan to return very soon.

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.

We kept adding to our orders, and our server accommodated us very promptly. We ordered kebabs that were juicy, tender, and packed with flavor.

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!

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.

We ordered BBQ ribs, Brioche with chicken liver parfait and the Jamaican jerk chicken rice bowl. The BBQ ribs and chicken liver parfait were played nicely and tasted decently good. The ribs were tender, though they could have used a bit more seasoning. Unfortunately, the jerk chicken rice bowl was disappointing. When it arrived I was confused, as it looks like a Taiwanese chicken fried rice. I confirmed with the waitress that it indeed was the jerk chicken rice bowl, but it looked nothing like what I expected from that dish. The rice bowl tasted like Taiwanese-style fried chicken rice with a lot of added spiciness. Spiciness alone does not make something Jamaican jerk chicken. Since I didn't get what I ordered...I have to give a relatively low score. My recommendation is to stick with the Western-style dishes here and avoid anything that seems "exotic".
