Farsi Food

Poor customer service. Disappointing behavior. کاستومر سرویس ضعیف و رفتار طلبکارانه آشپز (آقا)

Waited so long for our meal. 1 hour! Only one guy working on Saturday at lunchtime. The food was subpar. Rice was chunky and round - not basmati like every other Persian restaurant serves. Salad Shirazi was sloppy. And then there were greasy smears around all the plates, cups and water pitcher. Very disapointing dine-in experience.

Their kebab is the best in town.

We came to this restaurant for lunch today. The man working here was very nice however, the food was not. The tadig/rice was not good. This was not appealing or enjoyable to eat. I also found a piece of plastic in it. I also ordered ghormeh sabzi. This was ok, I needed to add salt to it and I also found a rock in it as I bit down. We let the staff know right away and he was very accommodating at providing another meal of kubideh. I found this tasty but very greasy. He was very nice to provide this though and did not charge us for the tadig, gormeh sabzi or the kubideh. The kashkebadamjun was a 5 out of ten. I will say that I don’t feel well after eating here.

The food used to be good before, but now the food quality has been dropped. We went there on Feb 8 2024. I ordered BAGHALI POLO WITH LAMB SHANK. The shank was so spoiled and not fresh. Also its juice was so oily. It affected my stomach badly and I was feeling acid refluxes in my stomach. I was not able to sleep until I threw up the food.

We ordered Tahchin with chicken and lamb, and the chef made fresh meals for us, which is great because Tahchin is usually pre-cooked in other restaurants, and they warm up the food when you order it. The food was very tasty and homey, we really liked it. The staff were friendly and welcomed us with smile.

Honestly, my hat's off to this place. Why? Here's why..... A "Vaziri" dish is a skewer of beef and a skewer of chicken which comes with rice and grilled tomato.....ok here it goes.... In any Persian restaurant in the vicinity of Vancouver the lowest price for this dish is $28.00 going all the way to $34.00. The adorable fact about Farsi Food is they offer that dish for $23.99...and here's the real kick....The quality is just as good! So, let's do some basic math here.....at this place you pay less for the same level of quality. They're just not...all high up on my horse about it. If I wanted to pay nearly 35 bucks for a meal, I'd go to a steakhouse and order a filet mignon......get my drift? Loved the Vaziri. The chicken had a beautiful lemon-marinated aftertaste and tender on the inside. The Beef was also pre-marinated and grilled just right. The rice was actually impressive. Persian rice is cooked a certain way. The grains were fully extended and al-dente, which only means they were cooked right and steamed right....oh and it was seasoned. You'd be surprised how many Persian restaurants serve their rice unsalted, which is surprising considering that Persians salt everything generously. The tomato was fresh and had a super tasty bbq'd taste grilled to perfection finishing with a sweet bow. I also loved how the side onion for our to-go order was cut fresh. I mean super fresh. Yes, little bites of raw onion with Persian dishes is very tasty....it just goes....you should try it. Friendly Service. Clean Space. Fair Prices. Why would I go anywhere else? I won’t.
