“The Place in UBC kyros kitchen is the most favorite place to eat Mediterranean food and Greek Food, The Restaurant Staff and specially the Owner were real good to deal with. They actually take so much care of choice and give perfect reccomendations which were actually so so good like Braised lamb, Lamb shank, Falafal Platter and then one Chicken shawarma wrap all were so so good.
There Drinks Mango lassi, Masala Chai and Lemonade are worth trying.
Most of all the food served is so so Fresh and Healthy.

Most recommended place to eat Best food around and inside UBC.“

“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.“

“The food was really good and it was a nice experience trying Moroccan cuisine for the first time. I also loved the decor of the restaurant it was beautiful and had a great atmosphere.
The only thing that stood out to me in a negative way was the manager (or maybe the owner, I’m not sure). He was wearing a suit and seemed to be constantly watching and correcting the staff. It made the atmosphere feel a bit tense, and the employees looked nervous whenever he was around. Maybe it was just my impression, but having worked in that kind of environment before, it didn’t feel like a very comfortable place for the staff.
Other than that, I really enjoyed the food and would definitely recommend it.“

“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“

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

“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.“

“Brought my wife and mother in law for a birthday lunch… very good overall- flavourful and fresh… might suggest though, to make it really special and crave able consider making your own pita… that makes a world of difference, as the commercially produced pita wasn’t quite as high quality as the rest.“

“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 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“

“We had a good dining experiences!“

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

“atención rápida , excelente servicio de Laura la chica de Brasil, comida sabrosa y a buen precio.“

“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!“

“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!“

“The food was absolutely lovely, and the atmosphere was wonderful, but our server Veronica truly stole the show! She was warm, incredibly attentive, and brought such a fun energy to our table. Fantastic food and top-tier service—we’ll definitely be back!“

“My mom and I stopped by for lunch while walking Granville strip. Super awesome food, giant portions, great ladies working there! Will be back for sure!“

“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.“

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

“This one was a great find, visiting from Seattle. It's very innovative in its menu, and the spread with vegan dishes is so huge! We had the Hummus plate Shawarma and the Rice Platter Schnitzelonim. Both were super yummy, very well done. And the restaurant interiors have a cool vibe!“

“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 💕“

“When new management took over, I think they started to over salt the meat (especially the chicken), and they made their potatoes too sour. The fries are still good, though.

Edit: It's much less salty now, so changing my review to reflect that. Thanks for the adjustment.“

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

“Highly recommend – Anita is a star!
I had a fantastic evening at Barra Forty One. From the moment we sat down, Anita took such great care of us. She was incredibly attentive, friendly, and knew the menu inside out. She made perfect recommendations and checked in at just the right times without ever feeling pushy.
The drinks were outstanding – beautifully crafted, perfectly balanced, and some of the best I’ve had in a while. Every round was a highlight of the night.
A big thank you to the bartender as well for the excellent cocktails!
If you’re looking for a great spot with top-notch service and drinks, Barra Forty One is it. We’ll definitely be back. Thank you, Anita! 🙌“

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

“​I recently visited the donair shop located right beside the Commercial-Broadway Skytrain station. It is a very nice, clean, and convenient little outlet if you need a quick and delicious bite to eat.
​The highlight of the experience was definitely the food. They made a very good roll that was packed with flavor. I was also highly impressed by their menu, as they have a wide variety of options and toppings to choose from. Whether you want something classic or want to mix it up, they have something for everyone.
​The only minor downside is the space. There is not much seating available inside the shop. They only have enough room to seat about 6 to 8 people at a time. Because of this, it is much better suited for a grab-and-go meal rather than a long, sit-down dinner with a big group.
​Overall, the excellent food and fast service make it a fantastic spot. If you are passing through the station and craving a great donair, I highly recommend checking this place out!“

“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 stopped in because it was so crowded when we passed by twice... OMG! The food was nothing short of fabulous... I will be back if ever in Vancouver again. YUM!“

“Came here for a quick dinner and sat on the patio. Service was excellent - our server was very attentive, knew the menu well, and made us feel very well taken care of. I appreciate that they had a wide selection of non-alcoholic drinks and a diverse food menu. Our food was actually really good and better than I expected from a pub. There was live music inside which we were able to still hear on the patio. I think it would've been too loud inside for my personal taste. I would return again and recommend it if you're in the area.“

“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!“
