It was an outstanding evening with superb cuisine and wonderful service. Unfortunately, as we were slow in ordering, we ran out of time before we could order any of the enticing desserts. Our table was needed and, next time, we will be quicker off the mark.

We were surprised by the roasted cauliflower appetizer! The yogurt and tahini added a creamy, mild flavour and it went really well with the crispy saffron rice. Our main dishes (plum + saffron mushroom stew and Beef ghalieh) were astonishing as well, and the price is very reasonable for the quality and type of dishes served. If someone is sensitive to the scent of seafood, they might want to avoid the plum stew since the aroma of some mushrooms may be "fishy." We also liked the small dessert we got when we ordered the bill. Overall, the service and food was great and 100% worth the money.

Almost all of the entree dishes were too sour. 2/10 for flavour due to over use of pomegranate molasses. Someone needs to try the dishes before it leaves expo.

We are going to Delara , for birthdays celebration,friends gathering,because of the quality and their food presentation, for their friendly and welcoming people who work there. The best place to introduce the best way of Persian culture via the food to anyone who is interested in our culture. I would love to thank all the people who worked from the bottom of their hearts to make it this place always feels like home.

Good food. Could have way more vegetarian options, if you’re veggie there was maybe two options. Service could be cleaner and more efficient. Otherwise great spot and would return if they offered more vegetarian options.

I’ve been to DELARA 4 times now and is it possible for a restaurant to just keep getting better with every visit? Whatever I order, I make sure to include a side salad. Why? Because they make it with a Burberry dressing that is like nothing I’ve ever tasted. Very exotic and unique! We had the lamb shoulder sandwiches with melt in your mouth lamb that was seasoned beautifully. Another in the party had the smoked rice and lentil dish, which is very earthy tasting, and the ultimate comfort food. All

Sadly it's the case where my dish was so bland and it needed more taste. I asked for sauce but they had no sauce and what sauce they did have they would have charged me for it. I miss the days where restaurants cared

Friendly service on both visits. Met the owner who talked about his philosophy for freshness, flavours and value. Tried every single main dish— all good but halibut stands out. Small tight menu. Good choice of alcohol-free drinks. I found wine list confusing with not enough information on origins of each wine. Will definitely be a go-to for this cuisine.

The food was outstanding. Beautiful flavours, fresh ingredients and very satisfying. The sharbats were lovely and flavourful. Service was friendly, if a little unbalanced (some confusion with one of our dishes and it came late, multiple servers coming to us to ask the same thing). Overall, however, a very enjoyable experience.

2nd time at Delara & it was outstanding again ! Brought friends who live nearby & had never been & they thoroughly enjoyed. Had the same waiter from our first time last summer & ordered the same Averil Creek rose’ & I commented on how different it is from a regular rose’ & he actually remembered me ! Can’t wait to come again on our next holiday in Kitsalano. Would highly recommend this restaurant. 👍

We had an incredible meal there. Really loved it! We each ordered a different entree (4 of us) so that we could have a sample of everything, and it was all so good! From the delicate flavours in the halibut to the bolder lamb shank, everything was so good! And for dessert the baklava and the orange cake were both amazing too! (We only had enough room to share a couple of desserts at the end, but I'm sure the others are great too.)

The chicken and mushroom eggplant stew were great dishes; the mains come with rice on the side. Portions were generous. The Persian Godfather was a well-balanced cocktail. The service was excellent, with a great atmosphere and open concept for the restaurant. I would recommend trying Delara.
