“Perfect Persian food and environment! We’ll come back again.“

“Had a wonderful dining experience here! The food quality is genuinely top-notch—the Chelo Kabab was hands down the best we’ve had, perfectly cooked, tender, and full of authentic flavor. Beyond the amazing food, what truly made the evening special was the exceptional service provided by Manijeh. She was so warm, attentive, and welcoming, making sure we had everything we needed.
We will definitely be coming back!“

“One of the best dining experiences I’ve had so far! The prices are very reasonable, and the quality of the food easily matches or even outperforms the competition.

I had one of the best Chenjeh kebabs I’ve ever tried. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and well prepared.

If you’re looking for authentic Persian food, don’t waste your money elsewhere just come to Parse Highly recommended.“

“Was hungry & randomly stopped by at this place without even looking for reviews. Looked at the menu & ordered Hidra Sandwich & Super Special Sandwich as the pcitures looked good. Portion size was sufficient to feed a reasonably hungry individual, Food was served warm & nicely wrapped BUT the taste of both sandwiches was the highlight of the experience. It was bursting with flavour and explosion of multiple but well complemented textures of meat & dressings.
I am visiting from out of town otherwise this place would have been one of frequntly visited places in North Van area.
Seems they also serve cold cut meat as well, nut not sure, about it as we didnt ask but saw them nicely stacked in tray at the main counter“

“Great lunch. Perfect spot to watch the parade. Thanks for the great food.“

“I have been to both Akbar Joojeh in Lonsdale and I love the service and people here the most. Paniz was super nice and patient. It was very crowded and long line but she managed the line and the tables with great attitude and a smile. The food was tasty and great portion. The atmosphere was great. The kitchen staff there were some hard working people and I truly enjoyed my experience there.“

“Love this place so much . The food is amazing and the staff are friendly!!“

The lounge had a cozy yet upscale vibe, the food was excellent, and the service was outstanding. Everything was well-organized, making it a stress-free and enjoyable experience.“

“found this little gem looking for another business in Lynn Valley. what wonderful treats! seriously if you are in the area you need to go to this place, so delicious“

“I wish the owner open one branch in Eastside Vancouver, nothing in Vancouver under $14 in any Chinese restaurants , $14 for koobideh big portion very reasonable price food is good , come on owner open a branch in Vancouver you will be doing very good here , Persian food so tasty“

“Unfortunately, one major issue with this restaurant is that while customers are eating, the servers constantly watch their table and food. This made us feel very uncomfortable throughout our meal, and we experienced this firsthand during our visit two days ago.“

“Alibaba has a slightly old fashioned atmosphere, but if you are going there for kebab Del and Jigar, it is absolutely amazing. We have been there more than four times, and every single time the food was very fresh and delicious.

He even suggests that if you like, you can get fresh bread from the bakery next door, which is a great idea, although he does bring bread with the food himself. He is very kind, friendly, and welcoming. Even if he is not at the shop, if you call him, he comes, and he makes you feel truly welcome.

We really enjoyed talking with him as well. He has many stories and is a pleasure to chat with. His Del and Jigar truly taste like the traditional jigaraki places in Iran. I highly recommend it.“

“Great kebabs, good atmosphere!“

“Afra Bakery is one of my favorite places for fresh Persian bread. Their sangak is outstanding—crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and always tastes fresh from the oven. The quality and consistency are excellent every time I visit.
I also highly recommend their haleem. It's rich, flavorful, and perfectly prepared, making it a great breakfast choice. You can really tell they use quality ingredients and take pride in their products.“

“Amazing food and friendly staff. Thank you for the delicious meals! Always satisfied!“

“Went to Haida Sandwich in North Van to try out their Haida hot, Haida Special and Turkey breast sandwich. All of them were delicious especially the cold cut sandwiches. Way bigger than Subway and comes with mini fries. This place is always busy, restaurant is clean. The only thing I didn't like is the airport style receipt checks they do on you. 😂“
