Akbar Joojeh | اکبرجوجه لانزدل

I was a loyal customer of this restaurant, often ordering through Uber Eats because of their promotional deals( Buy one get one free). However, I recently noticed that they significantly increased the prices of two of their promotion items out of nowhere! 50% increase!
It feels like a bait-and-switch tactic—advertise discounts, then hike up the prices without warning.

This is disappointing and feels dishonest to customers who rely on these promotions.
Sadly, I won’t be ordering again.

Amazing Persian restaurant! Huge portions and authentic flavors. The Soltani kabob was the best koobideh and barg I’ve had in Canada. Chicken kabob was super tender and flavorful. Loved the mirza ghasemi with smoked eggplant and barbari bread. Staff were super nice and attentive. Highly recommend!

Honestly high expectations but worst and disgusting food. I feel like puking after eating it. It tastes like they marinated the meat with green tea and horrible rice. Service and atmosphere is not bad but food is horrible. First and last. I prefer granville kebab,yass grill and afghan chopan

My husband and I had dinner there last night, and it was an amazing experience. The restaurant’s ambiance is beautifully designed, and everything looks absolutely stunning. We ordered Chelo Kabab Koobideh, which, as always, was excellent. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, making the experience even better. We will definitely come back again!

I highly recommend this resturant . Very delicious food , professional service and very friendly stuff .

Second time here, love the Akbar Joojeh, its really tasty and good. Mirzaghasemi could have more garlic flavor. The Dough and Dalal yogurt were also so tasty and good. Last but not least I like the staff attitude, they are warm welcoming and friendly which made me feel good.

I had an absolutely fantastic dining experience! We ordered the Akbarloghmeh and Lamb Shank, and both dishes were incredible. The Akbarjoojeh, as always, was perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor, while the Lamb Shank was simply phenomenal—tender, juicy, and full of rich taste.

The service was impeccable, with friendly and attentive staff who made the evening even more enjoyable. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, creating the perfect setting for a memorable meal.

Overall, an excellent experience! Highly recommended. Well done! ??

I have been living in North Vancouver for four years, and I love Persian food. I had been to every Persian restaurant on Lonsdale and Marine Drive except Akbarjoojeh.

I have my favourite place, which I was going to go to last night. However, I was walking by the 19th Street location, and since I had heard such great things about Akbarjoojeh from others, I decided to try it.

I will say, I liked the decor and the staff were extremely pleasant and friendly (5 stars to them!).

Unfortunately, the food was very low quality. I ordered the Mirza Ghasemi and the double Akbarjoojeh. The Mirza Ghasemi had almost no flavour, and didn’t taste fresh. I know it sounds harsh, but double Akbarjoojeh was absolutely disgusting. Especially considering this is supposed to be their signature dish. It was not crispy at all and was so dry and overcooked that it was barely edible, even with the pomegranate molasses sauce.

I am can't believe that I paid around $50 for this meal (including tip). The only part of what I paid that I am happy with was the tip (as I mentioned above, those young ladies were very nice, 5 stars to them!).

There are definitely much better options for Persian food on Lonsdale. I certainly won't return to Akbarjoojeh, and I wouldn't recommend the restaurant to anyone. Overall, very disappointing.
