The food was great, and the portions were large, enough for a very hungry person 😋 Very nice music and atmosphere. The service was really slow. It seemed there was not enough staff to be able to provide proper service. Prices are a little on the high side, but with the large portion, you can probably share a meal.

Very friendly staff and regulars. Food was very good and big portions. I had the salmon kabob. It was slow in the restaurant and the server (and other staff standing around) could have checked in with us for: food quality, needs, clear dishes, beer refills. Had to ask for a bill after talking with my group over our pile of dirty dishes. I would go back.

The staff are friendly, but they might not check on you often, so they may miss refilling your water. The quality and taste of the food are okay. However, the gheimeh stew on tahdig was served cold, some parts of the meat were still cold, suggesting it wasn't freshly made or properly warmed up. Kashke bademjon was beautifully designed. The menu offers a good variety of options. Overall, it was an okay experience, with some room for improvement. The portions are big, and there's plenty of space to seat large groups. Plus, there's free parking right in front.The decor is nice, featuring some traditional Persian carpets on the walls. Totally recommend ordering the dogh. It was so creamy and delicious

Food is delicious, the kebabs are soft & juicy (they lack spices & seasoning) but still they are one of the best beef kebabs I’ve had in lower mainland. Portion size is good for the price. But the service here is not great, our server had hard time understanding what we were asking for & we had to repeat ourselves multiple times.

We had a lunch meeting there with our team members. The service is amazing, and the customer service was perfect. The food was very yummy and nice and clean. The portions were bigger than normal. The workers were very friendly. The designs and wall arts were so beautiful. Highly recommended. We are going there more. 👏 Thank you!

I went to this restaurant, and it was truly a terrible and disgusting experience. When I entered, the place was completely empty. I used the washroom to wash my hands, and it was a disaster. The sink was filthy, clogged, and filled with vomit residue, and the water wouldn t drain. It made me feel absolutely sick. Worst of all, there were no paper towels to dry my hands or even to open the door and escape from that nightmare. I felt so awful.

Came here a few times with some friends, portions are huge and definitely worth your money. It is on the pricier side but it is worth it and quality is pretty good. My go to is the kobideh and a trick to boost the flavour is getting a side of hot sauce for the meat.

Disgusting attitude. Dangerous. I might actually call Fraser Health and enquire about disclosure. Hot and spicy food is not that big of a deal to me; however, due to heartburn, I leave a note with the restaurant when theres a warning. I ordered Royal Vaziri. The food was so spicy hot that I had to stop eating and drink 1.5 liters of milk. Still, as courtesy, instead of jumping to public reviews, I notified the restaurant. Their answer was: You ordered a wrong food. We mentioned it is hot. Immediately, I checked their menu to see if theyre right. (Photo attached) It says ground chicken skewer with herbs spices So I replied: That is incorrect. Im looking at the English menu and it doesnt say its hot and spicy. It says herbs spices. Instead of supporting his claim, his rude, unintelligent answer is: You are entitled to your opinion. We cook differently based on what general public likes. (without any mention of what Im getting from them.) At this point, I think this level of spiciness needs a warning. Ill try to call Fraser Health and ask about their requirements or recommendations. Please be careful what you order in this place. Cheers

A charming Persian restaurant with beautiful décor, including stunning Persian carpets adorning the walls, creating an authentic and inviting atmosphere. While the kebab koobideh was average compared to other Persian restaurants, the rest of our meal was quite satisfying. We enjoyed the Zeitun Parvardeh a flavorful dish of marinated olives with walnuts and pomegranate juice along with the rich and hearty Ghormeh Sabzi stew. The Kask Bademjan, an eggplant dip, and the lamb shank served with special rice were also delightful. My personal favorite was the eggplant dip; it was absolutely delicious.The staff super friendly and accommodating. Vegetarian options: The eggplant dish can be a good option for vegetarians.

This restaurant used to be one of my favorites, but recently the quality has significantly declined. The food isn t as fresh or flavorful as it used to be. Disappointed with the change.

Pasargad is a gem for anyone who loves Iranian food. The staff is super friendly and makes you feel right at home. The Kabab Kobide is a must-try perfectly seasoned and grilled to juicy perfection. The whole menu is full of delicious Iranian dishes, so you can t go wrong with anything you choose. In short, great food, great people, and a great place to enjoy authentic Iranian cuisine. Highly recommend!

Unfortunately, we had one of the worst restaurant experiences in Vancouver tonight. 1- The water smelled. Of course, they didnt say that it smells. 2- The food served (bottom of the pot) and the stew was cold. 3- The quality of the kebab was terrible and the garnish was too much. 4- The served onion was very old to the extent that part of the juice was completely stretched and part of the outer layer was dry (completely dry) that it broke with a hand gesture. We reflected the same things to our good friends in the restaurant, but they didnt seem to take it seriously at all. For this reason, in order to preserve the health of my good friends, I wrote here under compulsion so that they can choose with knowledge. P.N.: I will leave you the photo of the onion here.

Disappointing. Having been well versed in persian cusine we found the food bland, and lacking spices. The plate comes with lots of rice but not seasoned well. The chicken and the lamb shank was equally average at best also lacking flavour. Instead of shallots -as described in menu-they put a piece of red onion on the plate....for whatever reason. Never going back it was a terrible dining experience.

I am writing to relay a distressing experience my family and I encountered at Pasargad Restaurant last Friday afternoon. My wife and I, along with our three children, aged eight and twin toddlers of one-and-a-half years, decided to dine at Pasargad. We ordered four dishes, one of which was shishlik. Unfortunately, the shishlik was excessively salty. We informed the waitress of the issue, and she promptly apologized and removed the dish from our table. However, we were surprised to find that the dish was still included in our bill. When we questioned the charge, the waitress consulted with the manager, Arash, who responded dismissively and insisted that we had to pay for the uneaten dish. Despite our objections, Arash became confrontational and threatened to call the police, which he did. During this time, he was noticeably rude and locked the doors, preventing us from leaving, even though our children were waiting in the car. The situation escalated until the police arrived. Thankfully, they understood our position and reprimanded Arash for his inappropriate actions, including unlawfully detaining us in the restaurant. While the waitress performed her duties commendably, Arashs behavior was entirely unacceptable. We are deeply disappointed and wish to inform you that we will not patronize Pasargad Restaurant again. We believe that no customer should have to endure such treatment. Thank you for taking the time to read about our experience. Sincerely, Subject: Unpleasant experience in Pasargad restaurant I am writing this letter to convey the unpleasant experience my family and I had at Pasargad Restaurant on Friday afternoon.

Their kabobs are melt in the mouth. Delicious! Best kabobs in Vancouver area for sure. Just a small suggestion.

This is my first time trying Persian cuisine. I ordered the kashk-o-bademjoon (mashed eggplant) and chenjeh kebab, suggested by the waitress. The pita bread basket was cold and oddly enough came with a whole uncut quarter onion. Both the mashed eggplant and kebabs had MASSIVE portions. The eggplants had a very interesting flavour profile which I am not accustomed to. It may take some getting used to it if you never had it before. The kebab was almost the size of my forearm and came with a mountain of rice - easily a meal for 2. It was delicious and seasoned perfectly. The rice was delicious as well but in hindsight I should have gone with half rice and half salad. Definitely an interesting experience at a new cuisine for me.

Food was very tasty, but WAY too expensive, especially when you can get the same food for almost half the price at other persian restaurants. We went on a Monday evening and we were the only table in the whole restaurant. I have to say that the music in this place is awful, it s all old and sad sounding Persian music, that make you think of all the problems in your life. Why not play some upbeat persian songs? $28 for Koobideh is crazy and I cannot believe that you guys charge so much! $14 for tahdig ghormesabzi, that s more expensive than a Koobideh at some other persian restaurants. You guys need to review these prices, it s outrageous.

When my parents came home one day and told me about the Persian food they had at Pasargad, I figured that I had to give it a try. At first glance, the restaurant looked spacious and clean. When the server came to take our order, I asked for a recommendation for appetizers. They recommended the eggplant dip (Kashk-O-Bademjoon) in which I ordered along with the lamb shank (Baghali Polo Ba Mahicheh) and grilled rack of lamb (Shishilik Shandiz). However, the eggplant dip was bland and lacked seasoning. The yogurt dip was supposed to contain sauteed onions, garlic, fresh mint, and mashed eggplant, but the only thing I was able to taste was the eggplant smothered in regular yogurt. The pita bread along with it was also not fresh and stale. It looked like it was store bought. That aside, the mains that followed after the appetizer were quite nice. The lamb shank was tender and flavorful while the grilled rack of lamb was seasoned generously and cooked to perfection.. My only concern was that the portion of rice given exceeded the amount of protein and sauce, and as a result, I was eating white and saffron rice by itself by the end of the meal. I believe customers often enjoy their meal more when they can savor every bite of their meal, even though the portions may be smaller. All in all, Pasargad specializes in its marination and meats and I would certainly go back for more, especially if I have a big appetite.

January 22, 2024

Visited Pasargad restaurant for the last two years; historically enjoyed the Vasiri with 2 skewers (1 chicken, 1 beef) at $28. Recently, noticed a price hike to $40. While the food remains good, the increased cost seems disproportionate, raising concerns about value. Service quality has been terrible, prompting consideration of other fine dining options at a similar price point. How can you expect families coming over when you charge $35 to $40 for main course and $15 for appetizers?

January 22, 2024

OMG is all I can say !! This place used to have decent prices but now for what they charge for their dishes is absolutely crazy !!!! I think the owner needs a reality check cuz all he is doing is ripping people off with these prices and the food is not even that great !! And the service is terrible !!!! With these prices he won t be around for long time !!!

It was the worst steak kebab I ever had. I am sure they would have never served this in a dine-in restaurant and if they do you will send it back. Way too much barberries on Zereshk polo. Will not recommend.

The quality of the food at this restaurant is poor. They use low-quality rice which is not worth the high prices they charge. There are many other options available which offer better quality food at a more reasonable price. I do not recommend this restaurant.

I regret to give this restaurant a 1-star review, but my recent experience was far from satisfactory. I ordered Mahicheh and Gardan along with salmon dishes. The meat and salmon were clearly stale, and the portions were disappointingly small considering the steep prices. It was evident that the food was reheated for numerous times. The Mahicheh dish I ordered had an extremely tiny portion of meat, and it was drenched in an excessive amount of oil, making it almost inedible. To add to the disappointment, the salad had a bitter taste. Overall, the quality of the food and the value for money were both severely lacking.

Went to this restaurant for lunch on Saturday. The place was not that busy. The only waitress was busy++. She spoke very little English, but had a very nice smile. Very interesting decor inside. Large plates. Dishes were fine, but nothing special.

Passargad restaurant is an absolute gem! From the moment you step in, youre greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The freshness of their dishes truly stands out - each bite is a burst of flavor that leaves you craving for more. The staffs friendliness and attentiveness further elevate the dining experience. Whether youre a regular or a first-timer, youll be treated like family. Its clear that they take pride in providing top-notch service. I cant recommend Passargad enough for those seeking delicious food in a comfortable and inviting setting. Whether its a casual lunch or a special occasion, this restaurant consistently delivers on all fronts.

I took 12 friends from our church to the restaurant to celebrate one of our friend birthday. My friends aren t Persian . They enjoyed with food and service and specially with the Persian music. I want to give a huge thanks to Pegah for her kind and excellent service. My friends asked me to bring them to this restaurant more often. I highly recommend it to everyone!

Our visit to this restaurant was influenced by a friend s glowing recommendation, and it did not disappoint. The establishment impressed us right from the start with its spotless cleanliness and inviting ambiance. The staff were incredibly warm and hospitable, making us feel right at home. Upon the waiter s knowledgeable suggestions, we opted for a variety of dishes, including Vaziri, Tahdig, Dough, and Akbar Joojeh. The Tahdig immediately stood out with its delightful combination of flavors and an irresistible, crispy texture. However, the Dough drink left a slightly salty and overly herb-infused impression, somewhat masking the original yogurt taste. The true star of the evening was the Vaziri, particularly the Koobideh kebab. It was a culinary masterpiece, offering a burst of mouthwatering flavors and an incredibly tender texture. I enthusiastically recommend trying the Koobideh kebab during your visit. On the flip side, the Akbar Joojeh was a bit of a letdown. Despite its appealing presentation, it proved to be overly dry and lacked the distinctive essence of an Akbar Joojeh. It resembled more of a simple fried chicken dish with rice and a sweet pomegranate sauce, falling short of our expectations. In conclusion, this restaurant shines in terms of service and hospitality, creating a welcoming and enjoyable dining experience. The Koobideh Kebab, especially the Koobideh itself, is an absolute must-try. However, I would advise against ordering the Akbar Joojeh if you re seeking an authentic experience of that dish.

New experience for us and our friends celebrating a birthday! The food is rather bland. Even the spicy kabob wasnt. Although, it was somewhat more flavourful than the others. Hummus and smoked eggplant dips were passable. Very limited wine selection. Again, passable. Mostly hard surfaces so, the restaurant is quite noisy. This place appears quite popular with Persians but we appeared to be the only non-Persians at the time we visited.

We ordered tahdig with gheimeh, and it had a delicious flavor, but there was a bit too much oil on the plate. We also tried the Koobideh with Sangak Bread, which was absolutely yummy and delightful.

The chicken kebab price should be adjusted as it only has chicken legs with 26.99 price which is high. No other persian restaurant offer this type of chicken kebab and manager did nothing for our claim for compensation. But the service was relatively good. Their meals are relatively expensive.

Our server was courteous, friendly. Loved the food. We were a group of 6 some of us never had persian food before. Not only did they love it, they made plans to visit with their families. Dishes are always delicious and consistent. My husband and I keep coming back. I must say the servings are extremely generous. Great value.

The food tastes really good and we have been coming here for a long time. However, to our surprise, the prices were increased significantly for the second time this year. They used to be fair (not cheap but ok), however they have just increased their prices by up to 50%. I understand the price is subject to change every now and then but for some items 10 dollars were added to the price, which is unreasonable. I don t think I am coming back despite the fact that I like the food.

We have been going to this place for years they used to be good but they increased their prices to a point where I would rather go and eat at a fine dining restaurant then spending that kind of money here for food that can be purchased way cheaper in Coquitlam. Also I had the worst experience with the bill I checked it after paying the price charged was more then mentioned on the menu. They went and crossed out prices on a take out menu and changed it to show me that s the new price and that their in house printed menu did not have updated price. Not something that you would experience often.

They recently did a massive price increase and it is no longer affordable for a family to go there and dine. A plate of food is $40 dollars and it s mostly just rice. This is really disappointing, as it used to be a really great place to visit. Dinner for a family of four would cost you $160 dollars! This is outrageous! $160 for literally 4 dinner plates, no drinks and no sides. Go and see their menu. What a shame. I understand that inflation is harsh lately and everything costs more, but this is way too steep. If I am spending that kind of money then I will choose more upscale restaurants. I will go somewhere else. Looking at other reviews as well, I am not the only one that shares this concern. We will not be coming back.

Food that is mediocre and overpriced, accompanied by poor service. We walked in for Sunday lunch, and despite the fact that 80% of the restaurant was empty, the server made us seat in a small window spot with a teeny tiny table. Being crammed in with huge plates and drinks on the table is not a good feeling. The server could be a little more considerate to the guests. However, we noticed that they welcomed other guests in their regional language and gave them the choice of selecting a table, which was weird. They did not offer to refill water throughout the meal, and no efforts put to ensure that we liked the food or that we had any concerns. Not really a good dining experience.

Food used to better. New menu is very tricky as Royal Vaziri costing +$40 with tips includes a very ordinary Koobideh(ground beef) and one Chicken Koobideh!!!(ground chicken). Prices surpass any restaurants including stake houses and very top of line restaurants with sub average food quality.
