Anar Persian Cuisine Inc - Richmond

Vegan friendly .... food were so nice and bread so delicious.... ... we have enjoyed it..... and thanks the ladies who serve us.....

We had an incredible meal here! We can't stop talking about the food. We ordered the platter for 4 and every dish was a standout, super diverse range of flavors. Would definitely make the trip out to Stevenson just to eat here in the future, a real gem.

First time. Food presentation was impressive multi coloured salad that was very tasty. The lamb shank was tender but missing the lamb flavour do not expect Greek taste non roasted. Good service,

We ordered their Hummus for appetizer that came with persian bread and olives. So glad we did! It was so tasty!For main course, we did try their Vaziri which isOne Skewer of chicken kabob and one skewer of minced beef and lamb loughmeh kabob served with basmati rice, house salad, grilled tomato. Delicious!We were so full but still wanted to try their Baklava, which was served in a very lovely plating, wish there was more, but other than that, the dessert was great.

Would I travel again from Vancouver to Richmond for a $25 Loghmeh dish?Yes, I would. Here 's why.I loved every single item on my plate.The Lamb/Beef Loghmeh was superb.It was served right off the grill so it was hot. The way dishes are meant to be served. You 'd be surprised how many times I 've been served hot dishes luke warm. It was juicy, tender, well seasoned and buttery....quality Persian kabob (see pic. Now the Rice....also done correctly (see pic. There was also a side portion of salad which I loved. It was pickled cabbage with lettuce and a creamy dill dressing and fresh onion served separately. The savoury taste of the lamb/beef paired perfectly with the citrusy aftertaste of the pickled cabbage finished with a creamy dill sauce.The outdoor patio on that day was heavenly with the sun shining in beautiful Steveston, Richmond. I also appreciated the personal care they took for their patio with tastefully decorated plants and flowers and conveniently enough there was a Whole Foods right across the street.So, here 's another observation: A lot of Persian restaurants serve their dishes with hefty portions and I usually have left overs and the quality, even if good, has rarely been great. But, with Anar.....the portion was slightly smaller but the quality and taste was superb. That difference stood out.The service might no have been Fine Dining but it was genuine and personal. What came across for me was that these people were happy to have you as their guest, and appreciated your support....as a diner...what else could you ask for?
