HALAL SUMMARY
The staff of this restaurant has verbally confirmed halal status. From the management: 'Halal steaks are the Blue Dot PEI Striploin, Ribeye, and Brant Wagyu cuts, and also the Lamb Rack and Maple Hill Farms Whole Roast Chicken. To avoid cross contact with non-Halal meats, you may request the server to cook on a pre-cleaned grill.'
★★★★★ My daughter and I decided it was time to get some good steaks. Unfortunately, Vancouver is bereft of truly excellent steaks since Chef Mohammed left Tibisti a few years ago.
The price is ridiculous, it's not somewhere we will eat regularly (or ever?) but... the steaks were truly outstanding. As is mentioned in the Halal Summary above, certain suppliers provide Halal meats. I checked each supplier's website to confirm.
What really impressed me though, was that the waiter was extremely knowledgeable and helpful despite being non-Muslim. When we ordered only from those suppliers, he guessed we wanted Halal (which we confirmed) and then told us he would request the 'red wine demi-glaze' to be left off all the food. We didn't even know that was a thing! We chatted and he mentioned they had quite a lot of Muslim customers.
The place serves alcohol so of course each person must make their decision about that. However, the fact he knew what made a dish halal or not (beyond the meat) made me comfortable there.
Steaks we had were the Ribeye and the FlatIron Wagyu. Both were utterly amazing, I preferred the Ribeye and my daughter preferred the Wagyu, though we did like both.
If you want to try a genuinely excellent Halal steak, and don't mind the cost, I highly recommend. Posted on July 26, 2023
