“We had a great dinner there. All four dishes were fantastic, but I have to recommend the fettuccine with salmon and garlic cream sauce. It's perfectly located downtown, in a very quiet setting. Was not very busy when we were there so didn't probably need a reservation.“

“It’s always awesome to have great and fresh food with amazing varieties of items of both vegetarian and non vegetarian that are sure to please everyone’s taste buds and one such place is there within easy reach and reasonable pricing. This is the place which has been in operation for several years now helping many office workers in the tower and many people in and around the area. The portions come with choice of meats and two vegetable items totally complimentary! For the carb, they serve hot rice with a surprising addition of a fried papad at no charge. This has been my ‘go to’ place for my lunch everyday for many years so long I was working in the tower office and now having retired visit this place without fail whenever I happened to visit downtown Vancouver. Great quality with no change in taste and flavour for years. Checkout their special item of the day, that is on every weekday Recommended highly!

Vegetarian options: Vegetable items - brussels, cabbage, chickpea curry, kidney beans curry, sautéed masala potatoes“

“We shared this dish and it was really tasty.“

“Maria’s Taverna had a great ambience and delicious food. I shared appetizers meat balls, spanakopita and taziki and hummus! So delicious I took a doggie bag home for my chicken souvlaki. Thanks I definitely recommend!“

“This five star rating is long overdue for all of your doner donair needs. After living in the area for over four years this place always delivers. With the option for a large portion for an additional price this place feeds the hungry .
Truly delicious food but well pickled vegetables incredibly seasoned meats great mixed sauces And friendly service with a smile“

“While taking a break from strumming, I had the opportunity to try these Mediterranean delicacies on Commercial Drive. They quickly drew my attention and I must confess they are truly delightful.“

“😎 Been coming here since these folks took over, around 2010 or so. I do hope they are open again after their recent disaster.“

“We had a good dining experiences!“

“I absolutely love this place, the guy who runs it is super sweet and he makes the food super quick. I was a regular here for a while and he memorized my order which made me feel special. The prices are all super reasonable and you can get a full balanced meal that tastes good for less then 20 bucks. This is the only donair shop I ever spend money in.“

“The is one of these yummy 'hole in the wall' places that I've been going to the last 10 years.... All the locals do. Food is fantastic for a quick bite. There falafel are home made and the BEST I have ever had... and they have a liquor license!! To have a beer on a hot day with their foor is a win!“

“Warm, inviting, and unlike almost anywhere else in Vancouver. Moltaqa Moroccan Restaurant feels like stepping into North Africa, with beautiful Moroccan décor and an atmosphere that immediately transports you.

Sharing dishes is definitely the way to experience this menu -very much in keeping with Vancouver’s dining culture but everything else feels like a departure from the typical West Coast restaurant experience.

The beet and orange salad is fresh and vibrant, while the sweet and savoury chicken pastilla is unforgettable. Wrapped in delicate pastry with almonds, cinnamon, and powdered sugar, it’s one of those dishes you’ll still be thinking about long after the meal.

If you’re looking for something beyond the usual Vancouver dining scene, Moltaqa offers a memorable experience that’s as much about the atmosphere as it is the food.

PS - drink menu is also fun :)“

“The portion is 30% less than before. I have been ordering from this place for years, I understand with the inflation and everything that they have the price increase, and I'm OK with that, but I'm not OK with the portion size. I still do love the food is always consistent with flavor, but definitely not happy with a portion. The meat had very little amount in there, And I was gonna charge two dollars for extra hot sauce, which I'm OK paying, but the container was so tiny“

“Delicious Chicken Wraps. Loves the sauce (tzatziki). Excellent service. Portions are filling.“

“Recently visited Babylon Cafe on Denman Street and honestly had such a great experience. The location is amazing — just steps from English Bay beach, making it the perfect place to grab food and relax after a walk by the water.

We tried their shawarma platters and they were absolutely delicious. The portions were generous, everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and very authentic. The chicken was perfectly seasoned, the rice was cooked really well, and the sauces added so much flavor to the meal. You can definitely tell they focus on quality and presentation.

Their drinks and cocktails were also really good and added so much to the overall experience. It’s one of those places where you can sit back, enjoy good food, have a few drinks, and genuinely spend a relaxing evening with friends or family. The atmosphere is casual, welcoming, and has a very nice beachside vibe.

A huge shoutout to Habibi, the owner, for the amazing hospitality and service. He was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and made sure we had a great experience from the moment we walked in. Customer service like this honestly makes a place stand out even more.

Another thing we appreciated was the pricing. For the quality, portion sizes, location, and overall experience, the prices are actually very reasonable for downtown Vancouver.

Definitely recommend Babylon Cafe if you’re around Denman Street or English Bay and looking for flavorful Mediterranean food, good drinks, and a relaxing atmosphere. Will definitely be visiting again!“

“A great late-night option for wraps and platters, my personal preference.

Chicken/Lamb/Beef platters are $18.49 each, and my portion was happily hefty when I picked it up in person versus ordering via DoorDash/Uber Eats. It comes with Greek salad, 2x domaldes, 2 potatoes, rice, and a heap of meat that gets covered in 2 sauces of your choice.

I also ordered a side tabbouleh that I wish was more dominant with parsley, but it’s still decent, and quite filling with the extra quinoa.

The location was super clean, and the customer service was sincerely warm and friendly. Not sure what’s with all the negative reviews, but in my opinion, if you enter with a smile, you’ll get served with smiles in return.

Thanks for feeding me!“

“Absolutely loved this place! The ambience is beautiful and creates such a warm, inviting atmosphere. The food was amazing!! everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service was also wonderful. Everyone’s so friendly and attentive. Overall, such a great experience from start to finish. Definitely a place I’d recommend and come back to!“

“I had an excellent experience at this restaurant. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, and ambience was warm and welcoming. What truly made the visit memorable was the outstanding service from Gurjeet Kaur. The staff

“Delicious desserts, clean and pleasant atmosphere. Had the Bow-tie pastry. So yummy.“

“Some of my friends had recommended Donair Dude for some excellent lunchtime meals.
I was very happy with my donair and pleasantly surprised with the excellent customer service at this donair establishment. As it was my first Donair here, the attendant was very helpful and patient.
It is also open late and close to so many performances. A great location for before a Roger's Arena or BC Place event.
They have a great chicken donair, or a beef donair, or a lamb donair, or... you get it, lots of selection! 😉
They also offer a discount for SOME students, so ask if they do.“

“The burgers are huge and delicious. We had 2 different ones and both were fabulous. Great flavours, tender, not just a generic vegan burger. The sauces are tasty too. Fries are hot, fresh, salty. Come with a salad too! Updated from previous review on 2026-08-29“

“Ive been going for like..... 15+ years, I have seen locations come and go (used to live directly across from the fire hall location and went literally daily lol) - i crave this masala all the time and I dirve out from coquitlam regularly to get it still. I would kill for them to open a franchise in coquitlam center lol“

“Pyriaka (i’m not too sure how to spell it) was and is a super friendly server! I see her every time, she’s the best. I’ve never had a bad experience here. Quiet and pleasant atmosphere, would recommend to anyone hungry in the area! Thanks for being my go-to place 💕“

“Very authentic Italian food. Great service. Good pricing. Nice atmosphere.Very good weekend brunch with a nice Italian version of Eggs Benedict.“

“Decent place to eat. The menu has quite a lot of varieties. The drink menu is also available. But they don't care how loud and how drunk they guests are.
The alcohol cocktails good here though.
Overall good place to eat and drink if you live nearby or come by.“

“Beautiful restaurant. Food was outstanding...very good atmosphere. Our server was excellent, engaging and present , great experience. We will be back.“

“Love coming to Donair Dude! The food is always great, but the service makes it even better. A huge shoutout to Talvir for being exceptionally friendly and welcoming, as well as the rest of the staff whose names I didn't catch. Everyone here works hard and treats customers wonderfully. Highly recommend!“

“I went there few days ago , was first time trying donair at this place. Young lady farah was super friendly and helpful. She helped me a lot I appreciate her patience and kindness. I would recommend this place for anyone who wants a perfect meal for the day.“

“We have been to this Pub often and had decided to book the back room for a celebration birthday party. We had approximately 20 people at the celebration and we were allowed to utilize our own decorating scheme to personalized the space as we had wanted it to look.

Upon all of our guests arriving, our server, Nathan met us and was very helpful, friendly and professional throughout the night. When the food arrived at the prescribed time, it was all very tasty, hot and fresh.

Everyone in attendance enjoyed themselves and commented on the atmosphere and the great taste of all the food.“

“First time visiting this place for a quick bite and a few drinks. Great atmosphere, food and drinks were good. Our server was fantastic, really helpful her name was Sabine, she was such a sweetheart, she made our experience more enjoyable, would recommend this place!“
