Iranian Restaurants near Richmond, BC

“Absolutely amazing experience at Anar Restaurant in Richmond! The food was incredibly flavorful — every dish was fresh, authentic, and beautifully presented. The kebabs were perfectly grilled, and the saffron rice was aromatic and fluffy. The ambiance is warm and inviting, and the staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. A true gem for Persian cuisine lovers. Highly recommended — We will definitely be back!“

“I don’t normally enjoy kebabs because I find the meats to be dry and unflavorful. That being said, this was the best kebab rice dish I’ve had so far and would definitely come back again. The chicken and beef kebab were tender and juicy and paired very nicely with the tzatziki sauce. The salad dressing was very enjoyable as well and the rice was aromatic. Good amount of seating available and very kid friendly. By noon there is a long line up so be prepared to wait.“

“Everything was excellent from start to finish! We planned a family dinner at Saboo and the owner was incredibly helpful with organizing everything. The restaurant was clean and the food was delicious. Highly recommend!

Kid-friendliness: We had a handful of children in our party and they had great options for kid-friendly food!“

“Excellent food and friendly staff.“

“massive dishes, a must have for lunch/dinner“

“Outstanding food! We popped in here with a bit of hesitation because of the promotion signage out front. It was Green bean and lamb and draft beer 2 for 1. Each day there is a different 241 dish. The atmosphere is quite nice, with a two level open concept room with sky lights and lots of windows. Chairs and tables are comfy and there was a nice light jazz playing. We ordered the 2 for one dish of the night and it actually came with 2 for 1 draft beer!
I was surprised when we got a lovely little bowl of the most aromatic mushroom soup as a starter. Our beers arrived next, followed up by the main, which was an exquisite combination of flavours and textures. The napkins were high quality disposable and there were candles on each table. Service was really great and both servers had fantastic sense of humours!
Highly recommend this place and will be back to try other dishes.“

“Visited Bahar after seeing a friend post on IG about their drink that came with a little coconut pistachio treat. They said it smelled so good in there, had a warm atmosphere, and that the owner was lovely.

THE HYPE IS REAL! Ali at the counter was so cheerful, helped me find some dairy-free treats, and even introduced me to the owner. They said they might eventually have more options. All the pastries looked and smelled amazing, I was incredibly jealous and also grateful.

Loved the lil macaroon that came with my matcha latte (they have dairy-free milk options), and the almond cookie was so soft and chewy (but strong!), great for dipping into an unsweetened drink.

It’s a small/tight space but they do so much there and it’s amazing to see. Definitely will come back when in the area!

Dietary restrictions: They have dairy-free milks and a few dairy-free/vegan items“

That homemade almond butter is in my list!Staff is super friendly, super helpful with recommendations and let you have a little taste of things to make the decision making process easier.If you are in the area and fancy to buy some delicious products, look no longer!“

“The dishes are super fresh and hot when served. It definitely hits the spot when you need a food break shopping or strolling through the mall. Easy to get as a take out as well. The portions are huge so might need a take out box regardless.“
