"Came with big family party for my birthday. Extremely disappointed, starters were ok but all came at different times, had to ask a waitress where one was as everyone else had finished theirs and she just looked absolutely clueless as to why we were talking to her. New waiter didn’t even know what dishes he was bringing out and looked at us to answer for him, fair enough he’s new but come on, train your staff the basics. Didn’t get free bottle of wine even though we ordered tapas. One blonde girl walking around just playing with her hair and we didn’t understand the point in her being there, she didn’t do a thing all night, she just looked like she’d got lost. We didn’t get asked if we wanted a drink the whole night, had to keep asking where our mains were, an hour and 45 minutes later they arrived and my ‘jerk’ chicken burger was so bad, the bread sopping wet and falling to bits and the chicken was just plain chicken breast with none of the **** cut off it and slightly seasoned. the ‘manager’ said this was cause the chef had put ‘loads of sauce on it’ but there was no sauce at all, bone dry chicken, didn’t put any spicy sauce in like I asked and when I requested it they brought me a squeezey bottle to do it myself. Cajun chips came plain and when we told them they just sprinkled some Cajun seasoning just on the top, meat was all fatty and sparse on the bbq combo dish, boneless chicken wings were just chicken tenders!!?? The ribs had no meat on at all literally just bone, curry was cold and plain with no flavour to it at all. Everything bang average, staff unbelievably immature, very badly trained with no customer service skills or communication skills. The managers response when we told him all this was ‘I can only apologise’ so we had to request for money to be knocked off our bill, which they did- fair enough but we had to really push for this. Feels like they hire very young staff and don’t bother training them. Honestly a very, very poor experience and would never go back or recommend to anyone. Don’t ignore the bad reviews they’re all very accurate. The only member of staff I appreciated tonight was the girl with the dark hair who first took our order, she was the only one with any customer service skill or any sense."

"The problem with Vancouver is the halal scene is poor. Accustomed to halal fine dining in London , UK I may be slightly critical of Vancouver. My husband read that this restaurant had newly opened and from the pictures on social media the restaurant looked promising although certainly not fine dining. We both went last weekend with great expectations and we were really let down both with the decor of this place and the food. We ordered the soup, fattoush salad and hummus with meat as starters. For the mains We ordered a chicken dish on flat bread (a palestinain dish called musakhan) and a kofte dish as our mains. The starters and my MAIN dish came together with the server saying they were very busy and could not serve the starters separately. We started on our starters BUT I could not really enjoy as I was afraid my mains would get cold ... and to be honest it was not really warm when it arrived at the table anyway. The starters were good but I had to rush so that I could start on my mains. The Muskhan dish was disappointing luke warm and tasteless. My husband was still waiting for his mains but gave up and finished off the 3 starters. Then his mains came but we had to refuse it because it arrived simply too late. Oh and at the beginning my husband had ordered tea but that never came and the usual jug of water was not placed on our table either. The manager owner did apologise and he did not charge for my husband's mai dish, took 25% off the bill and gave my husband tea. But the point is we trekked from downtown Vancouver to what we hoped would prove to be an enjoyable dinner but it was poor. The decor is poor with a water fountain which is small and takes up needless space. I was disappointed with this restaurant but it was very busy (they do not take bookings) and I think you have to stick to ordering their standard mixed grill and this may be their dish which is good."
