Iranian Restaurants near Vancouver, BC

“Excellent food and friendly staff.“

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

“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“

The atmosphere was great with nice decors and music. Our server was very attentive and nice!“

“One of the best persian resturant around Vancouver! The price to portion ratio is amazing! Each order comes with extra Nan with butter and other vegies. Taste is delicious, one of the best for koobideh dishes! This was my 2nd visit and I plan to go there again. Highly recommended!!“

“I recently tried Mani Burger and ordered the Mushroom Cheeseburger and the Mushroom Cheese Chicken Burger. Both were absolutely fantastic! The meat was perfectly cooked—juicy, flavorful, and tender. The mushrooms added a rich, earthy flavor that paired wonderfully with the melted cheese.

The burgers were well-balanced, with fresh toppings and buns that held everything together without falling apart. Every bite was delicious, and you could tell they take pride in the quality of their ingredients.

If you’re a burger lover or just looking for something truly satisfying, Mani Burger is a must-try. I’ll definitely be back for more!“

“Incredible service. She was so friendly and a great conversationalist! The food: where do I even begin? The pasta was fantastic, some of the best I’ve had. The rice was beautiful and aromatic and crispy on top. And the kebabs? I believe I had the best lamb kebab of my life here. So flavorful and tender, it literally burst in my mouth. Overall, fantastic restaurant. Really wish I lived in Vancouver so I could be a regular here!“

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

“Anar catered our daughter’s engagement and also prepared and delivered extra trays. The food was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented, and their prompt, professional service made everything seamless. Thank you, Anar, for helping make a special night truly memorable—we highly recommend you for any celebration!“

“We got Vaziry and Shandiz Shishlik Lambshanks with house Doogh drink. Everything was mind blowing. The environment and interior design were lovely, the staff were friendly and super helpful. The quantity of the portions were great, 2 meals were enough for 3 people.

Very reasonable prices for the food quality and quality. Highly recommended and will definitely comeback!!

Try lamb neck with dill rice!“

“If you are at Brentwood mall area and craving Cazbah i suggest you get back in your car and go to Suren instead. Not only does it taste fresher, everything taste better on porcelain! I recently checked out their daily BOGO offers and I was pleasantly surprised at the value! they dont reduce the portion size on BOGO so it was a fantastic deal to get two adult sized meals for $10-$12 a piece. You can't even buy fast food for that price let alone a proper meal with clean ingredients. Winner winner.“

“We went to Alibaba a few days ago and were honestly blown away by how delicious the liver and heart skewers were. It tasted just like the real thing back home in Iran, rich, flavorful and perfectly grilled. I’ve tried a few other places, including one we visited before based on a recommendation from Amir, the admin of the Persian Vancouver page, who had called Alibaba dirty and even made some awful claims about the owner. That other spot (Hidra) turned out to be a huge disappointment. In my opinion, if you’re looking for authentic Iranian-style liver and heart in Vancouver, Alibaba is the only place that truly delivers. Don’t let rumors or negativity fool you, taste speaks for itself.“

“If you’re looking for an exceptional breakfast experience, look no further. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome with their warm smiles and attentive service. They truly went above and beyond to ensure we had a delightful dining experience.

The food was absolutely delicious! Each dish was perfectly cooked, with flavors that left us wanting more. The variety was impressive, from delicious omelettes to fresh fruit and an array of pastries. Every bite was a testament to the high quality and care put into the preparation.

To top it all off, the live music created a wonderful atmosphere that made our meal even more enjoyable.

We loved every moment and can’t wait to return. Highly recommended for anyone looking to start their day with a memorable meal!“

“I recently ordered takeout for a party, and I couldn't be more pleased with my choice. The food was exceptional—delicious and of high quality. Every dish was prepared to perfection, and it received rave reviews from all my guests. The flavors were vibrant, and the presentation was impressive, even for takeout. Everyone left the table happy and satisfied. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to elevate their event with outstanding food!“

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

“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!“

“I really wanted to thank this establishment as it provided my family of 4 the best meal since arriving in canada on holiday from uk. We generally eat Persian food in the UK and was delighted to find this place, food, atmosphere and price was excellent. We will be visiting 1 or 2 more times before heading back to the UK.“

“My wife and I had a 4-day travel to Vancouver and wish we could have more chance to visit Hidra Sandwich. We have tried Bandari, Hidra Fries, Jigar and Zaban Sandwich. The food quality, freshness and service were over and beyond. Fresh bread hit me hard. It’s a solid 5 to me!
Wishing you more branches with more space but cozy as it is.“

“Great kebabs, good atmosphere!“

“Afra Store and Bakery in North Vancouver is a treasure trove of Persian goods, offering a remarkable variety of items that cater to diverse tastes and needs. The selection is impressive, featuring products that are even rare to find in Iran these days. From freshly baked bread and pastries to specialty grocery items, Afra Store and Bakery provides an authentic shopping experience that brings a touch of Persian culture to the heart of North Vancouver.“

“I had a great experience here. Aisa was very welcoming and made sure we felt comfortable right away. The food was fresh and flavorful, especially the kebabs and rice dishes. Portion sizes were generous and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for authentic Persian food.“

“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. 😂“
