Luca restaurant Aberdeen Centre — Restaurant in Vancouver

I just had the most incredibly satisfying meal, and I simply had to share my experience! This dish, featuring a rich, savory stew alongside perfectly cooked fluffy white rice, was an absolute revelation. From the moment it was placed in front of me, the aroma alone was enough to make my mouth water. The stew itself was a masterpiece of flavors. It had a deep, complex base, hinting at slow-cooked meats and a medley of spices that blended harmoniously. The consistency was ideal – thick enough to cling to the spoon and coat the palate, yet still wonderfully saucy. The pieces of meat (which appeared to be beef or lamb) were incredibly tender, practically melting in my mouth, showing signs of having been braised to perfection. The sprinkle of fresh herbs on top added a lovely touch of color and a fresh counterpoint to the richness of the stew. And then there's the rice – oh, the rice! It was cooked flawlessly: each grain separate, light, and perfectly steamed, forming a beautiful dome shape. It provided the ideal canvas for the robust flavors of the stew, soaking up the sauce beautifully without becoming soggy. The small garnish of what looked like parsley on top of the rice added a touch of elegance and freshness. This dish is the epitome of comfort food, elevated. It’s the kind of meal that warms you from the inside out and leaves you feeling completely nourished and satisfied. It's clear that a lot of care and expertise went into preparing this meal, from the selection of ingredients to the cooking technique. Whether you're looking for a hearty lunch or a comforting dinner, this dish is an absolute must-try. It's a testament to simple, good food done exceptionally well. I highly recommend it and will definitely be coming back for more! Five stars...

Was just walking by on my way home when my friend suggested we go eat. This location was on the way. Was empty so I suggested maybe we go someplace else as maybe this place is not too popular?! I am so happy now that my friend insisted we try it anyway. The food was amazing. Especially for the price. Vegetarian options are great and unique. The dessert was so creamy. So much flavour. The stuff were very polite and offered help when I was confused about the sauces.

I usually go for really high-end restaurants and I honestly feel like this place has potential. I never tried Egyptian food but I come from middle east so my expectations were high for the flavours. The quality of the food is amazing. One thing though is that the location of it is unfortunate as it is hard to discover and the loud road kills the vibe a bit.

If the owner ever has the budget, I think a smaller space but with high end interior design in a better location can really benefit them. The visuals will attract new visitors and the flavours are already great do wouldn’t be a problem to make the visitors return.

Though it is a bit far, my friend and I will definitely visit again. Unsure if I fell in love with Egyptian food or just with this restaurant but it is 6 hours later and I am...

First of all, the restaurant is located by the roadside, and you can park your car for $2-3. We visited on the weekend and had no trouble finding a parking spot.

When we entered the restaurant, we were delighted to see a beautiful red design with subtle touches of Egyptian culture. The owner is very attentive and friendly; he chatted with us and explained the dishes from his kitchen in detail. We ordered the dishes I shared in the photo. I wish I could convey the taste through words alone. It was truly amazing. If this type of cuisine suits your palate even a little, you’ll love this restaurant. If you asked me to rank the dishes we tried from best to worst, I honestly couldn’t. everything we tasted was incredible. I highly recommend it.

This place is very nice and incredibly clean.

Let me share the only downside I noticed about the restaurant: -We had to get through the entire meal with just one napkin. If they kept napkins on the tables, it would have been much better -If the restaurant's ventilation system is improved a bit, the quality would increase significantly.

Anyways this restaurant...
