Absolutely garbage "Greek" food, if you can call it that. I can tell whoever is in the kitchen is guessing at what Greek is supposed to taste like and they have no culinary skill at all, none, zip, ziltch. Stop selling this food immediately. It belongs in the trash. Sorry not sorry you shouldn't be selling this, you're ripping people off.

Hidden gem for Middle Eastern and Indian food in Coquitlam. Delicious food, very reasonably priced, with kind, caring staff. Highly recommended!

Their curry’s are unbelievable, as a Brit living in Canada I really miss good curry. The Pakistanis and Bangladeshis who run our Indian restaurants in the UK do a great job. The Indians who run the Indian restaurants here do a terrible job both in value and quality. Forgive me if I’m wrong but I believe these guys are Afghan, who have far more in common culinary wise with Pakistan and hence they make much better curry then Sirdaarjii. Bravo, I can’t wait to come back. Amazing value too with the lunch special, great for a work lunch.

Ate here today. Had the chana masala which was very good. Only $9.99 for all their lunch specials until 2 PM which is a really good price. I appreciated the sign in their window and wanted to give them my business. Glad I did. We could use more people caring for our communities. ❤️

Absolute trash. $30 lamb roast mostly fat. Hard potatoes Rude staff member when I called. We have much better options in the tri cities. Embarrassingly bad

Great middle eastern food at affordable prices. Got their beef shami lunch special with a mango lassi for $15. Tasted great and good portions. Owners were nice as well.

June 14, 2023

Calimari meal was awful, only ate it because I ordered through Door Dash and was hungry. Greek salad had no dressing and was half full of white onion. Nothing on the plate tasted like Greek food. Maybe they do other cuisines better, but I would never order Greek from this place at all. Wish I could get my money back.

Sorry.......not great. We ordered the butter chicken and naan. The butter chicken had the consistency of tomato soup and frankly the flavour to match. Way to runny. I will say the actual chicken in the dish was nice, not too dry, but they hardly give you any. The naan was a bit on the chewy side. We are going to stick with our old faithful which is strictly Indian food. This place may offer too many styles of food which may mean they are just mediocre making all of them instead of being fantastic with one style. We don't recommend nor will we be ordering anything from them in the future... even though we only had the Indian since it was mediocre we are going to have to assume the rest is as well. I almost forgot... we ordered a piece of cheesecake as well..it was horrible, I actual think it had gone off and they smothered it with all this sweet sauce to cover it up. DISGUSTING. I hope we don't end up sick from the few bites we had before we realized there was something up. If I could give this place zero stars I would.

Jamilas surprised and impressed us. Restaurants that try to do multiple genres of food rarely do any of them well. However, Jamilas has given us tasty pizza, butter chicken and Greek roast lamb. They dont deliver, so use Skip The Dishes. Very worth it for great, high quality food.

Ordered fries, a drink, and a Greek veggie pizza in person. Waited more than half an hour and got the drink and pizza. I asked about the fries and she told me I didnt order any. Got home to find the pizza had meat on it. I dont eat meat. So I paid more than $20 for a diet coke. What the hell. Im not going back... And you should avoid.

Ordered roast lamb twice in the last two weeks. Generous portions, great flavor, pretty affordable compared to other Greek style restaurants. This restaurant offers free meals to people who cannot afford to pay for their own food. What an example for the industry as a whole. The only thing I would suggest is for them to keep track of the couriers they contract out to deliver their food. Most of the time is delivered late, cold or its dropped at the wrong location.

(Cant rate the atmosphere since i havent been inside yet) Been ordering from jamilas for a good 2 years, in that time I cant remember a single bad meal. Everything is always in order in the bag, you get all your condiments, and the food is always fire and warm! Whether youre feeling for greek, afghan or indian its all good man, I tried the pizzas, the lamb, the chicken bro, the GOAT in the sauce dude! You want a cool dessert to wash down all that food tho i guarantee you gotta wait a bit after, try the Ras Malai, its light, sweet, yet savoury, the perfect way to cap off a full meal bros

Ive ordered from this restaurant twice on DoorDash and had pleasant experiences both times. Their items are usually a dollar or two less than other Indian restaurants in the area, which is nice. Their chicken tikka is definitely the highlight; unlike other restaurants, they actually attach a wooden skewer, which I really like.

December 22, 2023

our butter chicken and biryani was sooo poorly made. we just threw them into trash. not edible. way too much spice. I dont even think you guys taste your own food. its not the first time your order was like this. never ordering again waste of 50$

The food was meh. The portions were not great. Not the worst for the price (I used an uber promo code) They forgot items from my order (Veggie Pakora, Bread) Definitely better Indian and Greek food in the area. Maybe dine - in is better.

Ordered through Uber eats. Note there are two Jamila found on Uber eats. Best to go via kitchen and grill, as it includes the Indian cuisine too. Ordered the chicken tikka masala. Asked for super mild and it worked out great. Veg Biryani was very good and not salty. Greek roast lamb was the best. Lamb was perfectly done and soft and not dry. The pilaf rice was the best. I asked for salad to be replaced with potato but that was not carried out. Yuck on Greek salad as I personally dont like it. Calamari was a bit disappointing. Would not recommend it. Batter was too thick and they need to choose better cut of squid. Also ordered lamb kabuli. Personally not my thing. And meat is too little. Definitely worth getting the roast lamb if you like Greek cuisine more.

Jamilas did a wonderful job of catering takeout for a family milestone birthday for 30. Well flavoured food, ample and affordable portions. The raita and shirazi salad were perfect refreshments to an assortment of curries, rice and naan. Kudos to Malik for helping me put together a menu too.

I can t comment about the service or atmosphere because I ordered through UberEats. But the food was some of the worst food we ve had. The calamari was AWFUL! I don t even know if it was calamari, it didn t even look like calamari. It was mushy and didn t even taste or have the shape of calamari. The veggie samosas tasted re-heated. The butter chicken soup was edible but it was mid at best. They didn t follow basic requests (no onions on the calamari and no olives in the Greek salad, which also came with no dressing and was basically a cucumber/onion salad, maybe one chunk of tomato) The rice and potatoes in the souvlaki meal were tasteless. Most of it went in the garbage. Save your money people!!

I kind of panicked and was going to cancel my SKIP order after reading the reviews of the calamari meal but realized I ordered so close to their closing time that I was hopeful they would cancel my order lol. It didn t happen but I honestly wasn t disappointed For the price and the amount of food you get is actually a decent deal. Yes, the calamari isn t that great It wasn t crispy or airy More chalky and soggy. But if you drown it in the tzatziki it was edible or if you were really hungry like me You wouldn t mind it. The rice pilaf was delicious and flavourful, it was the best part of the meal. The potatoes tasted like they were in a slow cooker all day But again, the tzatziki saved it. Greek salad didn t have dressing but I m wondering if the extra sauce they gave me was for the salad If so, woops that s my bad! I also ordered the Oreo cheesecake as well, it was mediocre at best. Not authentic, amazing Greek food but edible.

Fantastic food. Chicken Tikka Kabab meal- chicken was tender and juicy. Same goes for the lamb and beef skewers. Chicken biryani was excellent, with good amount of meat. Greek roast lamb was great, rice and potatoes are perfect (esp for my kids as they are not overly salty). Requested salad to be replaced with potato. Need to call them to make sure they know as it doesnt seem like they read the notes if order via ubereats. There is the boolanee that is spicy mashed potato in the roti. Was yummy. One of the dishes was missed out, but the owner/store made it up to us. Great service and friendly too. Would definitely go back to them. Note: if anything is wrong with the order, best to contact restaurant rather than ubereats.

This was an odd and very creepy experience. At first, there was an issue with the driver delivering the wrong order. (I ordered through Uber Eats). That s a human mistake, and things happen. However the true issue was the restaurant s response. They immediately called me and demanded that I don t contact Uber Eats Support. Only a minute later, they called again and asked if I contacted Uber Eats Support, and said if you do, they ll deduct lots of money from us . They demanded a few more times that I don t tell Uber, before the call was ended. Then they called me again and said Just checking that you haven t contacted Uber Support. They ll take a lot and LOT of money from us if you do. We have your phone number, if you contact them. Once the order was finally corrected delivered, the restaurant called me AGAIN and said Just checking that you won t contact Uber. We have your personal phone number and we ll contact you if we see any deductions to our account. It was beyond creepy, very invasive, and startling. The food was fine, but I ll never order again from here, it was extremely unsettling and stressful. If I have an issue with my order, it s not the restaurant s right to contact my personal phone number multiple times and request that I keep the issue private from the company they re delivering through. Also, the phrasing of We have your number, we ll contact you if we end up seeing a deduction in our account is CRAZY. EDIT: So the restaurant called me again for some reason, I didn t pick up. But since it s been weeks since I did this review, that s creepy af that they still have my number. Also, I m not salty because the order was wrong. That happens! Mistakes happen and that s a part of life. I have no issue with the Uber Eats driver. My issue is the extreme creepiness and insistence (from Jamila s Kitchen) that I keep my issue a secret, and the constant phone calls.

We only ordered here as we were in the neighbourhood and it seemed to have good reviews. Unfortunately, this has been the worst and most unpleasant Indian food I have had. We ordered the Paneer Burji and the consistency was soup like, to the point that it was quite runny. There was barely any shredded paneer, I would say their was more sauce and peas in it than actual paneer. We also didnt end up finishing the food and threw out majority of it. Maybe the other cuisines they serve here might be better, but we definitely wont be coming back to try more.

The butter chicken is just chicken in spicy tomato soup. NOT a traditional butter chicken at all. Disgusting. My grandmothers souvlaki was fine though, hence the extra star.

Will never order again, AND have to find another solution for dinner.

Id say dont do skip the dishes or any food service because if youre expecting what you see in photos of dining in, youre going to be disappointed. Heres two orders of calamari for $13 each. Half full, cold, and soggy... and they forgot to include the tzatziki I ordered. What is calamari without tzatziki Edit: Thanks for taking the time to reply to my message. Maybe youre right, I couldve called to rectify the issue, but the food still came out of your restaurant to be delivered to me, and your staff saw the condition of it before they packed it up. At that point, would someone from your restaurant have driven to my home to replace it? Or would it be a next time I dine with you, something happens? If it would have been the latter, Ill pass!

Jamilas curries are quite delicious and well-seasoned. You can actually taste the herbs they use (more fresh than other places). I would say curry wise, they have the best taste. Kurry up has the most (and great quality) protein, the Bombay Sweets has the biggest portion for the price (but low quality protein now), Lazzes Grill is overrated (the curry sauces are not always fresh) and we dont even look at Spice Art anymore. One star off because: 1) the amount of protein was inconsistent, my husbands chili curry didnt have as much pieces of chicken compared to my curry, which had tons. 2) The review with the glass piece really freaked us out as we had wolfed down our dinner without thinking because it was so tasty. If the owner could post some resolution to the matter, it would really help ease our mind. *Edit 7/16/2021: Thanks to the owner for writing back and clarifying!

I just randomly searched cheese pizza for my daughter and this restaurant poped up! Surprisely, other dishes were delicious tooooo. Also the staffs there were friendly too.

December 22, 2021

We ordered from Jamila s because the menu looked great. We were very disappointed in the quality of food. The butter chicken is flavourless. Whereas the shrimp souvlaki is so incredibly spicy we can barley eat it. Not to mention everything in the container tastes the same rice, potato, and shrimp. There is no difference between any of the three items. They should taste different, but they ve all been slathered in a spice that is frankly overwhelming and not tasty. The Greek salad came without dressing. This was such a disappointing experience and a waste of money.

I ve gotten the Honey Garlic Chicken wings from here a few times with my friends and we have always enjoyed the meal. Easily the best wings I ve had. Owner of the store is also very kind and helpful. Would definitely recommend.

We had the feast for two. There was too much rice compared to everything else it comes with. Single order for butter chicken and single skewer of chicken. It wouldve been nice if they threw in another skewer of something else and at least some greek potatoes. Chicken was dry (maybe due to take out)? Flavour was alright. Heat on Indian food was at a good level.

I m not sure what has happened with this business, but quality has plummeted immensely! We ordered pizza tonight, after having ordered amazing food previously. Tonight s order consisted of extremely thin crusts, barely any topping, and looked awful. We had grown to know Pizza Island to provide quality, plentiful meals previous to this. We re shocked at the decline in quality with the cost remaining the same!

Ordered Jamilas kitchen tonight for the first time after hearing great things. We ordered the feast for two and Jamilas souvlaki dinner. The food was really good, fresh nice portion size and tasted great. Only quirk would be the feast for two was a little misleading with the souvlaki and skewer, thought it would be two skewers one, each for a 2 person dinner. They forgot to pack in our taziki sauces and salad but the gentleman came and dropped them off within 10 minutes Great service will eat there again

First time ordering from here, I was looking forward to some fresh vegetables in my biryani but they were pickled. As soon as I opened the package I was hit by a smell of vinegar. I had maybe 5 mouthfuls, not good at all, sorry, and I paid for Skip The Dishes so an extra $8 for this.

December 22, 2020

Ordered from skip, payed $3 for RICE, no rice showed up. If I wanted to cook rice at home I wouldnt order delivery.

December 22, 2020

I just ordered $100 in indian food from here. The only full containers were the rice (of course) and the saag chicken. the aloo gobi, which is the cheapest dish to make was not even half full and there were only enough veggie pakora pieces for my family to have just 2 each. the other 3 dishes were maybe 3/4 full and the butter chicken has only 7 small pieces of chicken.. thatll be 1 and a half each..?.... I called to complain and the man told me that it was all my perspective.. great customer service bud Dont recommend. Go to Bombay or Bombay sweets.. way better. not cool to be cheap. Im a single mom and this was our once a month meal out.

Decided to go with Jamila s for day 2 of our Middle Eastern takeout challenge. Yet again, I was absolutely blown away! I got the Chicken Shami with a beef samosa while my fiancée got the Butter Chicken. The chicken had a wonderful flavour with a nice kick, and the portion was MASSIVE. I by no means am I a small eater, but I was able to save half for another meal. The beef samosa was a perfect appy to start. Now the butter chicken had to be the best we have ever tried. Often time we find that when you order medium, it comes with no kick at all. This one was the perfect blend of spice and flavour. No doubt we will be ordering as much as our bank accounts can afford in the future! This place is a MUST EAT!! Edit: Ordered a Tandoori Chicken pizza today and it is INCREDIBLE! High quality pizza that you can tell was made from scratch. What can t this place make?!

Very Rude and disrespectful owner and staff. Service is awful. They ignore customers. Wait time is unusual. When I complaint about the wait time he started recording me with his phone without my permission.

If I could rate them 1,000/5 I would. Order with uber and food was judg amazing thr three of us could not stop staying how good the food was. First time trying Afghani good for all of us and we all thoroughly enjoyed. So fresh and so flavorful. Have delivered food for them for skip a lot before which made me want to try it. Owners and extremely friendly and knowledgeable when asked about gluten free option for my celiac girlfriend. Even with how busy they were he still gave me very detailed answers about their gluten free menu and I wasnt even a customer. They are even willing to feed the homeless which is just outstanding A +++++++ for jamilas will definitely be a repeat customer!!!

Good experience with Jamilas. My wife wanted pizza and she can be picky, but she was happy with the Greek pizza. The roast lamb was succulent. The saag goat was full of flavour. The butter chicken taste a little bit like tomato soup. The tzatziki was fresh and thick. The breads were fresh and wonderful. This all came with various sauces, rice, potatoes and salads. All very nice.

In our experience its not easy to find good Indian food in Coquitlam, and unfortunately this is the case with Jamilas Kitchen & Grill. I hate to write a bad review for a local shop but I need to keep track of which Indian restaurants are worthwhile and, while the rice was fine and the naan was.. okay, the butter chicken tasted essentially like canned tomato soup. Also it was actually quite expensive ($18 for butter chicken and rice + a salad we didnt necessarily want) which makes it even more disappointing considering the quality. Sorry but I would try elsewhere.

The food didnt seem fresh at all, the Greek style potatoes were a weird brown colour (not due to seasoning), the calamari was a strange light beige colour, and the lamb and beef souvlaki both were too tough and chewy (when it should be tender). Not to mention that the rice was clearly from another dish, not suitable for Greek cuisine, and the tzatziki was overly sour.

December 22, 2020

! We ordered the dinner size calamari but it looks like appetizer and it was raw and chewy...Total order around $100 including, Greek Salad, skewers, rice, dips, samosa, bread, pita etc.. I hate to write a bad review on a pandemic but the owner needs to put more attention.portions way too small and taste wasn t great either.

Found out about Jamila s after seeing them on a news 1130 story covering their charitable work in the community. They even offer free meals to those in need, which was reason enough for me to stop by and support them. I m so glad I did! The palak paneer and chicken shami dinner were very good. The food tasted bright and fresh, not greasy. The customer service went above and beyond any other restaurant...seriously. You won t find a friendlier group of people, even if you re only popping in to pick up your take out order. Thank you so much for doing what you do!
