My son and I decided to try this restaurant for the first time. We ordered the combo plate for 4 people (4 skewers koobideh- 2 skewers Joojegh kabab- 2 skewrs kebab chenjeh-4 dishes of rice). Food was also served with 6 pieces of bbq tomatoes, some butter, and onions. Rice was well done and unlike some other Persian restaurant this restaurant had used real saffron to decorate the rice plates. Koobideh was awesome. Joojeh kabab was well marinaded and tender. We enjoyed the food. At the end we were served the traditional Persian tea and two pieces of baklava (on the house). We will go back to Mehman Restaurant. --------------------------------Things to improve------------------------------- 1- Please acknowledge the customer fast and be more responsive: When we entered the restaurant, there was no line up and restaurant was relatively not busy. We did wait for a while, before we were invited in. I understand you don't have the policy of "wait to be seated" and guests can sit wherever they want, but they need to be notified of this soon. 2- Food plates and trays are not steady and keep spinning: We had to put some napkins under the plates to keep them steady. You put so much into preparing such delicious food, so please look into this.

I was pleased that when I messaged them about offers, they replied promptly. The same day, my husband and I went for late lunch (3pm). Our server, Mina was very accomodating. The place is very clean as well as the washrooms. Food was presented very well and serves big portion. Their food tastes good and not salty (which most Persian restaurants are). I have noticed while dining in, there were customers who wanted to check out the restaurant, were being discouraged with their tinted door. Customers can't see what's inside. I even thought that the establishment was closed until I opened the door. The lamb and chicken kebab is very tasty. House salad is nice with their creamy dressing. The ground beef kebab seems to be hollow vs their competitors. Their food a little bit pricey compared to others. However, it's good value for the service, portion and quality. Definitely will come back.

The meal was either overcooked or raw–we were a bunch of people–,tables were dirty and I specifically asked for no rice or vegetables beside my plate and it came with vegetables. When I said I didn’t wanted this, the waitress literally told me to pick up the meat with my hand from the plate, I have no idea what she was thinking. I came here with my family and my family friends, we ordered a bunch and they served almost every meal wrong/mistook it. I asked for normal coke and they brought me a diet one without letting me know. The meat I ordered was overcooked while other one was raw. I am not recommending this place to anyone, search for a different restaurant than going to this one and get treated like crap. The worst customer service ever. Floors are dirty and there’s food under every single table, you probably are going to step on food that is swept to the floor from the tables when cleaning. I was in Vancouver for a couple of days and this is the worst meal I ever had. Two person from my table ordered the same dish but they brought different ones, when we told them that they’re not the same dish, she literally was gaslighting us as if we were insane. When we were almost done with our plates, one waitress came up to us and told me to get up so they can use the table for other customers. And then I let them take table she didn’t even wait for a minute and then started to clean the table, seeping the food on the table on me. So, probably the best thing to have in here is just the sodas, but they probably going to bring it wrong like I mentioned before. The worst place to have dinner or anything, simply to be in.

⭐ 1/5 I had a very disappointing experience at Mehman Restaurant. First, I was surprised to find that we had to pay for our order before eating, with an expectation for a tip without even tasting the food. There was nothing particularly special about the food or service to justify that approach. The worst part was seeing a mouse in the dining area. When I informed the staff, the response was very casual; the server just mentioned she was scared. When my wife asked if the manager had been informed, the server said the manager was aware and "sorry," but there was no direct apology or acknowledgment from the manager. This lack of concern for hygiene and customer service is unacceptable and made for a very unpleasant dining experience. I hope the management takes this seriously and addresses the hygiene and service issues immediately.

I would like to begin by expressing that the cuisine was of high quality and delightful, with no issues regarding our order. However, I feel compelled to mention that the female staff member displayed a lack of professionalism and struggled with English communication. I found myself repeatedly requesting water, and her service was lacking. It is puzzling why establishments hire staff who are not fluent in the native language in Canada. This was not an isolated incident, and I cannot recommend this restaurant. There are numerous superior dining options on the same street. A message to the management: please consider hiring employees who are proficient in the language and provide additional training to enhance politeness.

I traveled out of town to visit this restaurant that I found on Google Maps. It had positive reviews, so we decided to give it a try since many reviewers mentioned the delicious food. The reviews were accurate, and the food was indeed excellent. However, the customer service was lacking. The waitress was impolite and displayed a poor attitude. When we requested a bag, she refused, claiming they did not have any and suggested we leave if we were finished. We will not be returning to this establishment. I do not recommend this restaurant to others. I suggest looking for an alternative dining option.
