We saw a big FLY (BUG) in my wife food when she was about to finish. We reported the issue to the waitress and we were leaving the table because it was so disgusting to see this big fly in the food. He came back to us and he said what do want to me to do for you?. He did not even apologize. I told him, I am not paying anything. He said it is not our mistake. We cannot keep the flies away from our food. Can you believe this? He was not admitting that this is the mistake of the restaurant. Actually, he was trying to force me to pay for this order because we ate most of it. He was threatening me with the police and I told him go ahead and call the police. The other waitress got involved and he told me not to pay for this order and I shall pay for the rest of the food. I accepted his offer where we had to leave as we are staying only for few days in Vancouver. Even at the beginning, the waitress was not giving us any smile as he was not happy to have us in the restaurant. He was talking and smiling with the people setting in the other tables.
I went there on Dec. 27, 2013 on a Friday just after Jumah at the nearby North Vancouver Masjid. This is a beautiful masjid. There was no line up. The wait for the food was about 20mins. There's only about six parking spots in the back for customers (not enough), but there's plenty of parking on the side roads. Got the Bhukhari platter. The meat was tender, juicy, and well done. The rice was amazing and the salad was fresh. No alcohol served. Halal sign obvious. The customer service was actual good. Things I didn't like: waitresses could cover up a little more; lower the music please; brighter lighting and wall paint also would help.
Very tasty Persian/Iranian cuisine with very generous serving sizes on all dishes. Busy restaurant but fast, friendly service. All halal meat and no alcohol served :) Highly recommended.
My favorite restaurant! Prices are good. Meals are consistently good! Love the rice! Long wait times on weekends, but worth it. Really busy, but that is a good sign. Waiters are running around and super busy, so if you need anything ask for it the first time! Tried their food truck in downtown Vancouver, I thought the food was re-heated (not made freshly) and even then, was cold.
Al humdulilah, nice place, good food, moderately good service. Prices were really reasonable- great for families. It was nice to see such a busy restaurant NOT selling wine. This place is like little Tehran. It was packed (we had about a 15 minute wait). Not a place to go in hurry but a nice spot for a relaxing evening. By the way, North Vancouver has an array of Persian restaurants, cafes, and bakeries"•a nice bonus for visitors. [I'm not from the area, but I was surprised that nobody joined me when I read Maghrib on the sidewalk. Perhaps there is a masjid nearby.]
Went there on a busy Sunday afternoon. Service was very good, we were seated promptly. The place is pretty nice, clean and very busy. I ordered the sultani, my wife the lamb shank. I found the kebabs pretty bland even by Persian standards ( I have eaten at yaas, daarya, daddys and many other Persian places ). My wife said her lamb was good but not the best. The rice and salad were good and the persian ice cream was outstanding.
Assalamualaykum. This was our very first visit with the whole family. We drove all the way from Surrey based solely on the positive reviews on Zabihah and Urbanspoon. As some previous reviewers have warned, there was a line up when we reached and the fact that it was a Sunday too. We had to wait for about 20-25 minutes but in all honesty, we didn't mind the wait! Long line ups at a restaurant is a good sign! The ambiance was very nice and everyone seemed to be having a good time. Here's what we ordered: Started off with Humous and it came with pita triangles. My husband and myself found the Humous to be ok as we have had better, but the kids enjoyed it. My husband ordered the 'Bakhtiari' and it came with a chicken kabob and beef steak pieces with rice. He found the steak to be not as moist as the chicken jujeh, but overall he enjoyed his entree. I had the 'Vaziri', a platter of chicken jujeh kabob, ground beef kabob, salad, rice and a delicious grilled whole tomato. I had absolutely no complaints whatsoever about my entree! It was perfect for me! The meats were succulent and very moist, I loved it! The staff were polite and attentive despite being so busy. I wanted to try a dessert but unfortunately they had run out of everything as they were so busy! Will definitely recommend to friends and will go back ourselves again for sure! It was a lovely evening and well worth the drive. Visit their website www.cazbarestaurant.ca/ and do visit www.urbanspoon.com/ for more wonderful reviews and pictures of menu items.
The best Persian food ever, we love that, nice family place and aw seem food and nice staff....
Great Experience. Recommended by a friend to visit the restaurant. Although there was a line up. we were seated in a matter of minutes. Even though the restaurant was full, the service was fast, efficient, always with a smile and exceptionally polite. Very very reasonably priced and above all, the food was delicious, salads tasted fresh, just right and taste and tenderness of the meat was perfect. Big portions too! Th two of us could not finish it all and had to take out the rest. The ambiance and atmosphere of the restaurant was of happiness and contentment. Lots of polite service staff always whizzing by and never short of service. If you like authentic Iranian food, you should go. If you are not Persian/Iranian, you might want to ask the server in detail what your meal would look like as there are no "pictures" of the meals on the menu. There is a TV screen depicting what meals look like at different intervals. Did not see any alcohol being served. In short, a great dining experience. One of the best restaurant I have been to. You should go...
Good food need to introduce the meat and kabob platter.
Best quality Iranian food in Vancouver. Most menu items under $10. I have ordered the Chelo Kbob Soltani (a skewer of ground beef and a skewer of tenderized beef steak). The Kabob was tasteful and the steak was so tender. This is my favorite Iranian food restaurant in Vancouver now. Keep in mind the restaurant is always busy and you might have to wait for your table. Open from 12 pm - 9 pm weekdays and from 12 pm to 10 pm weekends.
GREAT FOOD , FRESH, VERY CLEAN , VERY RELAXING ( BEST PRICE IN TOWN) AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE,
We’re not from the neighbourhood but needed to be there because of another appointment, my wife and I needed a place to eat and we thought it would be the regular kebab/shawarma fast-food experience considering the price range. We even ordered an extra dip plate because we had no idea of the serving sizes. WHAT A SURPRISE. And a good one. Not just the sizes, but the food quality. We’ll certainly come back. It was not the regular lunch hours and the staff were helpful, the manager was super friendly.
This is my second time at Cazba, and I can confidently say I’ve become a regular! 😄 The hospitality here is on another level — so welcoming and respectful, you feel like an honored guest from the moment you step in. I tried the Tahchin and Baghali Polo with Lamb Shank, and both dishes were absolutely delicious. The flavors were rich and well-balanced, and the stew was perfectly cooked and full of depth. They start you off with a freshly baked oven bread, still warm and full of aroma — it truly transports you to another world. 🌿🔥 Highly recommend stopping by if you’re craving authentic Persian flavors with top-notch service. You won’t be disappointed!
The staff is really friendly and the service is excellent. Great food, great price, and really big portions especially when you buy the buy 1 get 1 ones, like the koobideh. Atmosphere is also great, highly recommend it to others 👍🏻

The flavors were harmonious, and the quality of ingredients was evident in every bite. What truly set this experience apart was the relaxed atmosphere. Unlike some establishments that rush diners through their meals, Cazba allowed us to savor our time together. We never felt pressured to finish or leave, which made our family gathering all the more special. Cazba provided us with an outstanding dining experience.
