TiTi Home Made Food — Restaurant in Coquitlam

Oh my where to begin...

My mum and I visited this place last Saturday and thought that we'd be in for some decent Persian food after a long walk around the area.

After we were seated, I went off to the men's washroom to wash my hands. To my horror, the washroom was in an absolutely, atrocious, disgusting state. I should have recognized this for the foreshadowing it was, but decided to put it out of my mind and look forward to the meal to come.

We ordered a chicken kebab plate and a dish made of eggplant with Persian bread. The presentation for the eggplant dish was very off putting. It was a dark green/brown/black thick concoction and the accompanying Persian bread was tough and hard to break apart. Neither were particularly warm or fresh smelling.

The minced chicken kebab plate came and the meat itself had a strange orange color to it and smelled strongly of egg. It was tough to break apart and chew. The flavour was not appealing at all.

My mum was not able to get past a few bites of her food and I decided I was not really feeling the taste and I would take my leftovers home.

We paid a bill of $33 and left. On our way home, we stopped for coffees and left the takeaway container in our car for a few minutes while we ordered and brought back our drinks. To our absolutely disgust, our car REEKED of food gone bad. By this time, I was feeling a lot of stomach discomfort as well. We were throughly nauseated and disgusted by the whole experience which was topped off with our car filled with the smell of rotten meat/food gone bad combined with god knows what.

We stopped the car near a public trashcan, threw the food away, rolled down our windows and endeavoured to forget this experience. I felt sick well into the next day.

We are quite honestly astonished by this experience. We have eaten out all over the lower mainland trying different cuisines, but have never had such a terrible experience ever. Yes, food can be a hit or miss, but we've never come back from a joint feeling this disgusted and sick.

I will certainly not be venturing back here ever or recommending that anyone give this place a try. A hard pass for sure and a 1 star is a generous rating.

To the business: You have a lot of work to do.

I visited TiTi a few months ago with my non-Persian colleagues and unfortunately, our experience was not as positive as expected. Despite the restaurant's good reputation, we encountered several issues during our visit. Pricing Confusion: The price for a specific dish was different for takeout compared to dining in, which wasn’t clearly indicated in the advertisement outside. This led to some confusion and disappointment considering the service fee and expected tips. Service Issues: The waitress was not as friendly as we had hoped, and her attitude was noticeably different when serving non-Persian guests. Additionally, she insisted that I speak in Persian with her, which felt inappropriate. Order Mistake: One of our orders was initially incorrect. Although the correct dish was eventually brought to us, the delay was inconvenient. Tea and Dessert: When ordering tea and dessert, we were told the tea pot was only enough for two people, despite it being sufficient for our group of five. Also, when we asked for extra candy, the waitress’s attitude seemed unwelcoming, even though the candy was a minor request. Billing Process: The process of splitting the bill for tea and dessert was not accommodated. We were told that one person must pay the entire bill, and we would need to settle among ourselves later. This was quite odd and embarrassing, especially since splitting bills is a common practice. The quality of food was fair. While we appreciate the restaurant's efforts to provide a unique dining experience, these issues made our visit less enjoyable. We hope these points can be taken into consideration to improve the overall service and ensure a better experience for future...

We absolutely love Titi Home Made Restaurant! The food here is incredibly delicious, fresh, and full of nostalgic flavors that remind us of home-cooked meals. Every dish is made with care and you can taste the love in every bite. Some of our favorites include the savory omelet, the rich and flavorful fesenjoon, the perfectly grilled kabab koobideh, and the comforting, hearty ash reshteh. Their soup is always so soothing, and the crispy sambooseh is a must-try!

They also offer a fantastic variety of appetizers, including the sweet and fragrant halva, baghlava, and the comforting sholezard—every bite is a delight.

What makes this place even more special is the wonderful atmosphere and the kind-hearted people who run it. Khale Titi, her husband, her sweet daughter Pani, and Nazila are all so welcoming and friendly. You truly feel like part of the family when you visit. And we can’t forget about the dear grandma—she brings such warmth and charm to the place.

My family and I always feel at home here. The restaurant is not only a favorite spot for our family gatherings, but we also host business meetings here, and it’s always a hit with our guests. We’ve never had anything but a wonderful experience, and we’ve received so many compliments on the food and hospitality.

Titi Home Made Restaurant is a gem, and we can’t recommend it enough. It’s the perfect place for a cozy meal with loved ones or even a special gathering with friends and colleagues. Highly...
