I had a very disappointing experience at this store.
• They sold me an expired item (see attached photo). This is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about their quality control.
• Several items had no price tags displayed, and they did not provide an itemized receipt — only a total amount. Without visible pricing or a proper breakdown on the receipt, it’s impossible to verify what you’re being charged for each item. That lack of transparency is a major red flag.
• The cashier was very rude and unprofessional, which made the situation even worse.

Their Halim is the best I’ve found in Vancouver!
Bryan Santos
Friendly staff and very reasonable prices. I stop by here regularly and fresh, warm bread almost every visit. Its hard to leave without buying extra.

Unfortunately, there is an old lady there as a shop keeper that her behaviour is so unprofessional and bad with the clients. I will not buy anything there more.

If you’re looking for authentic Iranian groceries, this supermarket is a great choice. It’s fully stocked with a wide variety of Iranian brands, ingredients for kebabs, and traditional cooking utensils. Prices are slightly higher than other Iranian markets, but the quality and selection make up for it. Don’t miss the Sangak bakery at the back—the bread is fresh and consistently excellent.

If you’re craving authentic Persian flavors, the Tahchin at Afra is a must-try — golden, crispy, and filled with rich layers of flavor. Truly the real taste of Iran on a plate!

I have been in this store in the past, even though I am not Persian I have been in this culture for yrs and yrs, I went in bc I was in the area next door and I know they make fresh Sangak bread in the bread, about cleanliness and not being dirty, who knows, there was this bald man at first and seemed unfriendly and I got some cold cut but I forgot to see if the other guy that served me had gloves on ??? Rude and expensive just for a few slices but it was almost $7/8 slices Too high the counters so you can’t see what’s going on behind When I was going to pay with the bald man and I don’t know if he is the owner ?? Grab a plastic bag and opened it with his fingers by putting his mouth, his salvia, now that’s gross And makes me think how clean they are and scammers on what they charge ?? Place is small Maybe they need a bigger place, known to make their bread in the back But reading some of the bad comments, on getting sick from a sandwich etc and the rudeness I won’t be going back there There’s so many other Persian stores around You don’t need to go there Only for freshly baked Sangak bread, I guess but like I said I don’t know how clean people are but this goes to all the people out there working with food Touching their faces etc Who knows
Delicious Middle Eastern food! The meat melts in your mouth, and the spices in the rice are incredible. The fava beans and hummus are so authentic and delicious. This place is becoming my regular spot.

Brought and ate their cold cut sandwich, 10 mins later, I threw up and sent the rest of my night in the washroom.
Beside that experience, the clerk was very nice.
