Read moreI give this place a 5 star only because I can't rate it any higher than that. HFC grill, which we discovered by accident when we moved to the area not long ago is located on the south west corner of Marmot and Austin in Coquitlam. This truly is a gem of an eatery. Call it a hole on the wall, the smallest place, or however you want to describe it...I call it the best Persian food south of North Van. The best!!! Their Vaziri is amazing!!! It is one of our favorite dishes. The seating space is very limited, however, most orders are pick up so there is always a place to sit and enjoy your meal. There is a cooler filled with a variety of beverages, traditional ones also in case you want the complete Persian experience. The owners are a very friendly couple, together with their children they truly make you feel at home. Maliha is a sweetheart who welcomes you with a smile and treats you like family...it is after all a family owned and operated business...which means hard working folks who are trying their best to make a name for themselves with their delicious menu. Servings are huge for the money...accompanied with grilled tomatoes, grilled hot chili pepper, lemon slices, pickled pepper and condiments on the table including the ever delicious spices of Sumac. Give this small business a try...won't regret it. You will get to know Maliha and her family because once you try their food, you will...

I have eaten pizza from dozens of independents and large scale franchises. Needless to say, great pizza places are few and far in between. A friend of mine turned me on to Florence pizza one night, saying that he judged all pizza places based on the quality of their BBQ chicken pizza, and that theirs was good. That struck a chord with me, I laughed and agreed with his method of determining quality. (No, really. As a BBQ chicken fan - I find this to be very telling to the quality of the rest of the menu items).
So we ordered a couple of BBQ chicken and a beef Donair pizzas.
The owner delivered the pizzas personally and the customer service was delightful both over the phone and upon delivery (quite accommodating with call upon arrival requests etc).
My first slice of BBQ chicken was awesome. I figured my friend had found a surprisingly decent pizza place with excellent service and reasonable prices. Not bad, I thought.
Then I tried a slice of the Donair pizza... Words cannot describe the heavenly rapture bestowed upon me. I'm pretty sure I had an out of body experience.
I can't speak to the rest of the menu items, but the pizza is fantastic. I don't think I'll be ordering pizza from anywhere else...
