Best Middle Eastern Restaurants in University Area

A joyous experience. The other diners seemed to cherish this place, looked like they’d come before. The many people who took part in serving us were all great hosts: the food was clearly described as it arrived and questions were answered with an interested attitude. It was clear, the servers lived this restaurant and their jobs. We have brought friends here befire and will do again. It is a gem.

We had a incredibly delicious meal with our family. So much flavour it's hard to pick one dish that stands out. The tabouli and cauliflower are tied for first, but everything else we ordered was a close 2nd. We try to eat here once every time we visit from Victoria.

One of the best restaurant experiences in Vancouver from the minute you arrive when presented an amazing chai tea taster to the non stop food and entertainment. The staff are all very amazing there every time I go My favourite in Kits

We loved our lunch! We shared two dishes, one bean dish and one ground meat and lentils, both delicious. Crispy rice is sensational. Baklava is best I have had - not too sweet, just right. Orange cake is fabulous. We can’t wait to come back and try other items. Our server was delightful- helpful, pleasant, attentive.

We went to Tayybeh for my partner's birthday with some friends, and we really enjoyed the overall experience! The food was delicious, tasty, and fresh. The lamb was incredibly tender—so soft that a knife wasn't even necessary to cut it. The chicken was also very tasty, and the vegetarian plates were fresh and delightful. Our waitress was kind, friendly, and very helpful in guiding us through the diversity of the menu. They surprised us with a delicious dessert to celebrate the occasion, and we sang Happy Birthday. One of the female cooks even came out to congratulate my partner from a distance, which was very thoughtful. Our friends and I will definitely return and recommend this Mediterranean gem to others!
