I hosted a company graduation event at Yasma and it was spectacular. Delicious food, great service and location for a wonderful evening. Wonderful Lebanese flavours and everything was beautifully plated. The appetizers of fattoush salad, hummus, fresh pita bread, muhammera (a multi-layered standout), spicy and fried kibbeh were all popular. The mains of mashawi - aleppo lamb, chicken, salmon and vegetarian skewers, as well as braised eggplant with goat cheese and walnuts in tangy tomato spice as the vegetarian option (vegan option also available) were really popular. Desserts of pistachio baklava and cardamom tiramisu were wow!!! There were also great wine options of chianti and red wine.
Great and attentive service throughout the evening and a nice location at Coal Harbour.
I will definitely host future company events here!

Edit:
Had a delicious dinner celebration here. The chickpea fatteh was nice, albeit a bit too creamy for my taste. The others enjoyed the muhammara and freshly baked pita, lamb and chicken skewers. Really delicious and amazing flavours!

A very nice place for a Syrian cuisine.
Freshly backed Lebanese bread, minced meat kubbeh, smooth hummus, a tender and juicy meat kabab

The service was friendly but pretty basic, and while the food was decent, it didn’t leave me eager to come back. I ordered a lamb burger, which had good flavor, but it came out lukewarm—maybe it sat too long waiting for my friend’s dish to be ready.

It’s the best Fatteh I’ve had in Canada so far but the prices are a little higher than I expected. Over all must visit this place

We went for Valentine dîner at Yasma.
The place is really cute. They have a nice spot near the water.
Service was awesome.
We really liked Yasma.
For the food, we tried the humus, then the aleppo kebab and the lamb burger and fries.
Fries were 5/5. Burger, nothing crazy, 3.5/5.
Kebab was tasty with pistacchio inside. Really original. We use to eat many different kebab (Persian food). For 34$, I rather having Persian kebab for cheaper.
So I will Say 4/5 for the food. But 5/5 for the expérience.

3.5 stars. Kebab was pretty good. Shish Tawouk was okay but dry. Service was okay but it took over 30 minutes for our mains to come out after our sides and they weren’t large or complicated.

Babaganoush was a big miss - really disappointed. I liked the sausage. Muhammara was the highlight.

Overall extremely overpriced for the quality and portions. The prices are almost arrogant for what you get. Was disappointed to have brought my partner here on a big night and we ended up spending the same amount we could have at better and higher end restaurants

I’ve had beef and chicken better marinated and cooked at tiny shawarma shops here.

Could definitely whip up better babaganoush for a 10th of the cost

Great food from mezzo to dessert, fresh and balanced. Excellent service as well. Finish it with traditional Lebanese coffee! Views to Marina and North Shores mountains so romantic!

Very bad experience yesterday! We had a reservation for 7:45pm our hostess Huda, received us with frowny face don't know why, she then kept 3 menu cards on one of the table and disappeared without even telling a word or waiting for us to get settled.
And regarding the food I had to sent my mint lemonade 2 times back it came with so much mint the first time I could barely sip it through my straw with the mint leaves getting stuck to the straw, so I asked if they could add more lemonade, as I was watching( the bar being right in front of where we were seated) I saw the bartender another lady pouring some liquid from my glass away and adding plain water and sending the very same glass back. I wouldn't have had a problem if it tasted better but this time it tasted extremely diluted so I asked them politely if they could remake it, the bar lady rolled her eyes and added so much lemon juice to the very same glass and sent it back, it was extremely ascerbic but I decided not to sent it back seeing the demeanor of the bar lady and Huda. To make things worse I think the food was spoilt because our family started feeling unwell and uneasy in our stomach soon after our dining, I haven't even recovered now while writing this review. We spent $130 excluding the tip (see pic below)
It's not worth it guys! Stay away from this place the food is clearly contaminated and service is below par.

As someone who’s been coming here for as long as they’ve been open, it saddens me to give this review. I get that places need to increase their prices to keep up with costs, but not only have they increased their prices, but their portions have gotten smaller than they were and the quality of the food has deteriorated from when they first started.
I used to advertise this place as the go to, never to disappoint your taste buds kind of place, but I hate to say that I will no longer be doing that.

Their kebab used to be great, almost the best in town. For some reason they decided to add cinnamon and changed the way they make it and it turn into something horrible! Also there was kadaif on the menu and it was not even close to be kadaif:) It was something similar to lokma. I could not understand why they called it kadaif, did not make sense.
