I’ve had Lebanese food in Lebanon and Mazahr still ranks at the top of my list. The food here is the best and would be enough for a top ranking but they also go out of their way to provide good service and atmosphere. When you enter Mazahr everyone seems to be having a great time. Definitely recommend!

I had an amazing experience at this Lebanese restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious, with authentic flavors that transported me straight to Lebanon. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made me feel welcome from the moment I walked in. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a memorable meal. If you’re looking for genuine Lebanese cuisine, I highly recommend this place—you won’t be disappointed!

Best Lebanese restaurant in town! Delicious food, great services and a traditional decoration that takes you to the heart of Lebanon. The food is absolutely incredible. The hot mezza platter is amazing. Mutabbal, hummus, shanklish, and labneh are all amazing. The flavors are authentic and well-balanced. The portions are generous, and the service is top-notch.

SMALL PORTION, The quality of the food is good, but the portion sizes are smaller than expected, and the sides that come with the dishes are limited, not matching the photos in the menu. Considering the portion sizes and average service, a more realistic Google rating would be closer to a 4, not 4.8.

★★★★★

The place deserves way more than 5 stars. The food is phenomenal, the atmosphere is superb and the service is great. The staff are friendly and attentive. We had a great time munching on various vegetarian options. The falafel, hummus, moutabal, and lentil soup are sooo yummyy. And the Arak (Middle Eastern liquor) is excellent. It is a highly recommended place for authentic Lebanese foods 😋 😊

Amazing food, wonderful service, and special attention from the owner “Mo” who came to say hello and to chat with us, and even found an email from my wife with a discount code from - get this - two years ago - and honoured it! Amazing. The red pepper side dish “Muhammara” was sooo delish I scooped it onto everything else on my plate - on the kefti, on the pita, on the cabbage salad, in the lentil soup, spread on the pita and so on. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone. Worth the long trip out to this place!

Large portions and dishes seem to be created so that they expect you to share it “family-style.” Tasty fresh ingredients. Wonderful flavours. Plated very nicely. Service was top-notch. I can see why this place is rated so high on reviews!

I recently had the pleasure of eating at Mazahr, and overall, it was a great experience. The food was good, we tried the cold and hot sample platters and they were rich in flavour + a salad. I did find the prices to be on the higher side, but it's likely reflective of the area, so it didn't come as a complete surprise. One of the highlights of my visit was the peaceful atmosphere. Visiting around noon, I appreciated that the restaurant wasn't busy, allowing for a relaxed and enjoyable meal without the usual crowd. I wish they had rice as an option for a side as well, that would make our meal even better. They don't sell sodas as well. They sell lemonades, but I didn't like it very much. In summary, Mazahr offers great food in a calm setting. It's certainly worth a visit.

Staff was rude in accommodating our party - we had groups that wanted to be seated together but were not allowed despite having empty seats. We were given appetizers for an hour before the mains were served and even then, the portion was not worth the price of $84 for the grilled meat platter (each person has a few pieces of grilled meat when sharing across 4 people). To be fair to them, the taste of the food was not bad but it cannot compensate for terrible service. We paid close to $70 each for what amounts to an unsatisfactory meal. Would not recommend.

I ordered takeout and found bite marks on two naans in the paper bag. It honestly looks like they re recycling unfinished naans, which is completely unacceptable. The food tasted ok, but I cant trust the hygiene practices here.

September 23, 2024

Got a really bad feeling by taking to manager because he made us wait in the waiting list for 30 minutes even though there were more then 5 tables available and when I asked what is the reason he answered very harshly and it was not polite the way he responded which made me and my friend leave there. I don t know if it is their marketing strategy or just an ego to say how busy we are but it doesn t make sense to make people wait when you have tables available. And that made us to decide to never go back there Hope they get the lesson of being honest and not pretending

The server was excellent, very attentive to details. As for the food, we shared a few dishes, and the falafel was outstanding. However, I believe they should consider making their own pita bread.

TERRIBLE COSTUMER SERVICE! I tried to go with my family today and the restaurant was empty. They told me that I could only get a table if I ordered the set menu that was $55/person. I asked them why and they said that alternatively, I could get a table if I leave 18% gratuity. I can t believe this is how they treat costumers. Disgusting.

August 23, 2024

I just visited this restaurant and requested a table for 8 on the patio as my mini yorkies were with me. Initially, the waitress told us that they don t usually accept groups larger than 6. After talking with other workers, they gave us two options: either everyone had to pay for a $55 menu, or we had to leaving 18% tip. Not the experience we were hoping for. Shame on their service.

We found this place by wandering past and noticing a delicious scent and decided to try it the next evening. The decorations and interior are lovely, clean and welcoming. We were greeted and sat promptly and friendly and brought waters while we decided what to get. Our table of three ordered tried the mixed grill value feast with our choices of cold mezza as mutabbal and the Shanklish, the cold mezza sampler (choosing hummus, baba Ghannouj, and olives), and the hot mezza sampler and for drink the hibiscus cinnamon and the lemonade. The drink came promptly and the hibiscus cinnamon was freaking and warming at the same time without too much sweetness or floral notes, the lemonade was a perfect balance of sweet and tart. The food came out quicker than anticipated and from our first bite we were all blown away. The three of us expressed over and over how the baba Ghannouj, the Kafta, the Lahm mishwi, the labne that came with it and all the rest were the best any of us had ever tasted. I wish I could have eaten more and took almost every last leftover home for tomorrow. I would leave this as a seven out of five stars if I could. Absolutely phenomenal - will absolutely return, I will be recommending it to others as well. This place blows NUBA off the map.

We had the 3 different samplers and it was amazing. We had hummus, mutabbal, Baba Ghannouj, homemade Shanklish and a side of Mediterranean olives for Cold Mezzas. The cauliflower, Falafel, Halloumi fries, Kimberly, and fried potatoes for Hot Mezzas. The grilled Shish Tawouk, Kaftan, and Lahm Mishkwi. Three of us ate until we were full and took everything we had leftover home because it was all so good that we didnt want anything to go to waste. We will be back and I will be recommending this restaurant to all my friends. Vegetarian options: Many of the dishes are vegetarian and taste so good even the meat eaters wont miss the meat.

I got the Lahm Mishweh and the mixed cold mezza and it was absolutely fantastic.

Overall a great experience, it was practically like going to your grandparents house in Beirut.

False advertising, I tried to order a kafta plate from Uber eats and it says Comes with a choice of cold mezza dip and a choice of salad. then it gives no choice to choose salad, when I tried to add the side it charges me extra 12 dollars, that is a total of 38 dollars for a plate that is costing you 6 dollar in total. I won t go that far, you do your own cost control but please fix your description and let me know when you do so I change my comment and the world of mouth around my community. I called to genuinely explain and with all the audacity I was told yes, cabbage is your only choice and if you want other salads, there s is an extra charge . people are buying your food and is not a barber or car dealership!! let alone the pictures of the items had tabbouleh and Fattoush. Please check pics! Thanks Moe

Coming from a Lebanese whos always looking for good authentic lebanese food around the US and Canada, this place has great appetizers ( some core Lebanese appetizers are missing from the menu but maybe that would be developed later) As for the main dishes, i had the shish tawouk and was disappointed with the flavor of lamb or some other meat that was maybe cooked on the same grill? And gave it an odd flavor. Id recommend that Mazahr works more on the flavor ( marinade included )and presentation of their main dishes as their present appetizers are really on point. This place was recommended my Anthony Rahayel in his Youtube videos and thats why we came to try.

Super delicious Lebanese food, we ordered two lunches, one was broccoli and the other was lamb, both were very delicious. Although broccoli is a vegetarian dish, it can taste like meat, which is amazing. Lamb is the flavor of Middle Eastern cuisine, because lunch can be paired with two side dishes. We ordered hummus and eggplant. The two side dishes have different flavors, but they are both very delicious. Another lunch is served with fried potato diced and soup. The soup is pumpkin soup, which is also delicious, but the fried potato diced is just average. Let s eat their authentic Lebanese sauce. Will definitely come back to this restaurant and want to try other food.

Mazahr Lebanese Kitchen offers an authentic culinary journey into the heart of Lebanon. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, reminiscent of a traitional Lebanese home.

We went to this place after seeing the reviews. The waitress didn t greet us and in addition she made us feel quite unwelcomed. After we sat she said there s 90min time limit. Well if you bring the food on time there should be no problem, it s not like you have a view or a nice atmosphere for us to want to hang around after we finish our food. Ridiculous! So We left without having any food which seemed from other patrons orders greasy and presented ugly with some store bought stale bread. Will not be back What happened to Vancouver btw? We came some 20 years ago and many lovely cafes and restaurants.

Great atmosphere for catching up lively but not too loud so you can still have a conversation. Fairly busy at dinner so a reso would be a good idea. I look forward to trying them for lunch sometime.

The place it s cute with a cover patio, waitress had the perfect interaction (we have found Canada waitressing to be a bit too much in the seek of tips ) but the girls was just perfect. Food was amazing and pretty much everything on the menu u is gluten free and/or vegetarian which made me (coealiac ) and my partner (vegetarian) very happy. We could eat this food every day Vegetarian options: Plenty of them Dietary restrictions: Gluten free and vegetarian

I have been to many different Lebanese restaurants in many different countries. This one stands out as not only the best Lebanese food I have had but one of the best meals I have had. The service was exceptional. The food was inspired. Truly great dining experience. The next time we visit Vancouver, we will definitely be coming back. I suggest anyone visiting Vancouver to visit this restaurant. I highly recommend the Kafta lunch meal with hummus. The chicken kebab were incredible as well. The baklava was the best I have ever had. All that being said, the owner was very kinda and helpful and gave a great dining experience.

A truly exceptional 5-star experience! If I could, I would give it 10 stars without hesitation. What began as a seemingly straightforward business lunch transformed into a delightful journey of gastronomic exploration, transporting me all the way to Lebanon. To merely describe the food as good would be an understatement; it left me truly speechless. Yet, the culinary delights were just one facet of the overall experience. Interacting with the owner and the staff was a genuine pleasure. Their honest and personable approach added an extra layer of warmth to the atmosphere. The attention they devoted to explaining the menu showcased a level of care that is often hard to come by. The overall ambiance of the place easily rivals the best Michelin-starred restaurants Ive had the pleasure of visiting in the past. Mazahrs restaurant has undoubtedly set a new standard for excellence in both cuisine and hospitality. Highly recommended!

We were in Vancouver and my friend wanted to have Lebanese food and she was on a Keto diet so I looked at options on google and we found Mazahr close by. We found the staff super friendly but the most amazing thing was the taste of Lebanon. Both of us miss the food of Beirut and wanted a delicious experience. 1- Tabouli salad, tastes great 2- Hummus was delicious 3- They have a great selection of vegetarian cold side-orders. They are so delicious that one can be full easily. 4- Lentil soup, just like home. Perfect texture and delicious. 5- I tried for the first time Halloum cheese grilled. Lets just say, if you feel like eating it with tabouli delicious no need for sauce. Then we get to the Protein...Ready? 6- Chicken pieces (Shish Tawook) My favorite, the flavor, the moisture of the chicken dip it with pita and their garlic sauce and go to another world of taste. (Can you tell its my favorite)? Even in Lebanon, I used to order Shish Tawook all the time. 7- The lahem platter (pieces of lamb) bbqs to perfection. You can eat it by itself and enjoy the authentic flavor. No need to add any sauces to the actual real taste of Beirut. What I recommend if you are hungry and between 2-3 people or more, order the mixed grill because you will get the best of all protein worlds. I would love to see more photos from customers. I will post some pictures of the experience. Vancouver, you are double and triple welcome. I cant wait to go back and order desserts. I was so full that I had to take some food back with me and ate it the next day and it was as delicious. Dietary restrictions: My friend was on a keto diet and she could order a lot of options. The waiter will be able to help with the restrictions. Vegetarians will find a lot of options.

I took out the lunch Lebanese special. crispy pita chips on a bed of tahini, with chickpeas, pine nuts, and small pieces of meat (steak?). Cruncy and Delicious.The hummus was the absolute creamiest and tastiest Ive ever had, with a drizzling of healthy extra virgin olive oil, and the baba ganoush left me speechless. smoky, and full of flavour, without dairy or tahini. Absolutely delicious. Even beautiful to look at. Im coming back for more tomorrow :-)
