Best food I've had in a long time! The lamb was the best thing I've had in a long time! Tamam "the owner and the cook" is so sweet and passionate about her food, and it definitely shows in her plates! Will definitely come back :)

High energy restaurant with a great crowd and really affordable food. Service when we first arrived wasn’t great, but once we were seated our server was very pleasant and attentive. Very generous portions for both the appetizer and the mains.

We only had to wait a little while to be seated (we didn’t phone ahead to book in & I’d recommend booking in). It was quite busy and it’s clear why it’s such a popular spot. The servers were lovely and even though it was busy they seemed to cope well with the pressure. The menu has lots of options - including many vegetarian dishes. We got 2 starters: Appetizer to share (falafel) & stuffed grape leaves. Didn’t order a main because we were so full from our starters. It was delicious. We got 2 desserts: Baklava & black seed cake. I took these home with me. So sweet, so yummy. Also the black seed cake has a fun texture that I haven’t tried in a dessert before. I’ll definitely be back if I visit Vancouver again because there’s so much more on the menu to try and I’d love to bring more people to try it too.

This place is one of my favorite restaurants in Vancouver. The fish is my go to order and I can’t recommend it enough. There was a table with extremely loud people and manager didn’t seem to care to tell them to mind for others (they seemed to know the girls). Everyone kept looking at them talking so loud disturbing the peace of others. The food implacable, the owners extremely nice, every single time I come here I feel satisfied.

One of the best middle eastern cuisine. We all ate so much that we need to take a nap. Everything is so fresh. My sister has gluten and diary allergy so she was able to get amazing food customized to her allergy needs

I recently visited this wonderful Palestinian restaurant with my family for a holiday dinner, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. We ordered a variety of dishes, including the Chicken Kebab with Mujaddarah, a Lamb Roast with potatoes, and a Halloumi Salad. Each dish was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection – the chicken was juicy and flavorful, the lamb tender and rich, and the salad offered a refreshing balance of textures and tastes. The customer service was outstanding, with the staff being attentive and friendly throughout our meal. The atmosphere of the restaurant was warm and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a family gathering. Overall, it was a delightful dining experience, and I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to enjoy delicious Palestinian cuisine in a welcoming atmosphere.

Everything was 10/10 delicious. We got there right at opening 5pm and were seated right away , it quickly got busy soon after which is a testament to how good the food is. Our waiter was wonderful and friendly. We had the Kibbeh appetizer platter , and the slow cooked chicken and mujaddarah. Flavours I’ve not yet experienced and so glad I did. Can’t wait to return so I can try more of their menu. Highly recommend visiting this absolute gem of a restaurant.

Came here with a group of friends. We made reservations just in case. Cool little place, they have a neat patio area. Staff are all very friendly, and the restaurant has a nice chill vibe. The food was amazing, everyone really enjoyed eating here. I definitely recommend eating here, and we will definitely be back!
