🇨🇦 Zarak | Must-Try Afghan Cuisine on Main Street! 🏆✨

Zarak is hands-down one of my top restaurant recommendations in Vancouver—every visit brings new delights! 🎯🍽️ Drinks, food, service, ambiance—all flawless. The cocktails are creative, the dishes are packed with flavor, and even the tableware is Instagram-worthy! 📸💖 🍸 Xi Fei ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A MUST-TRY cocktail made with baijiu (Chinese liquor), lychee, and smoky theatrics! 🍶💨 (Teapot presentation + dry ice = magic ✨) Not into booze? Try "Bamyan" (non-alcoholic) or "Heritage" (another stellar cocktail). 🥟 Mantu (Afghan Dumplings) ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Two flavors: 1️⃣ Beef + cumin + roasted onions (cumin lovers, rejoice! 🎉) 2️⃣ Spicy cabbage (🔥 but delicious!) *Small order = 4 huge dumplings—share wisely!* 🍄 Balsamic Oyster Mushroom Kebab ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (🌟 CHEF’S KISS!) Crispy, smoky, umami-bomb mushrooms with a tangy dip. Even meat-lovers will convert! 🤤🍢 🍆 Chilled Eggplant Dip + Naan ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Silky eggplant purée + warm, fluffy naan = PERFECTION. 🫓💜 (Dip, scoop, repeat!) 🍗 Buttermilk Fried Chicken ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jumbo-sized, cumin-spiced, ultra-crispy. Small order = 3 massive pieces (you’ve been warned! 🚨) 🐓 Seven Spice Roast Half Chicken ⭐⭐⭐ Replaced their legendary spicy bone-in chicken leg (RIP 😢). Good, but not the same magic. 🍨 Shir Yakh (Rose-Cardamom Gelato) ⭐⭐⭐ Creamy with rosewater + cardamom, but a hint of ginger. Interesting, but not a must. 💰 ~$110/person (we packed leftovers!) 🐑 Didn’t try lamb dishes, but friends rave about them! 📍 Zarak Main Street, Vancouver #VancouverEats #VancouverFoodie #AfghanCuisine #MainStreetVancouver #FoodieHeaven #CocktailLovers #MustTry
