    Flavourful but not overpowering dishes! Loved the lentils and rice bowl + the chicken with crispy rice + the meatballs. Baklava was the best dessert ever with the perfect tart cream on side. Saffron ice cream was disappointing but an interesting flavour. The vibes were perfect and we got a lot of natural light. Would come again for sure!

    The food was amazing. I never had much experience with Persian food, although I do love Mediterranean food. I was so happy to have had this experience. The restaurant is beautiful! We started with the smoked olives (DO NOT OVERLOOK THIS AMAZING APPETIZER!) then for mains we got the duck fesenjoon and the braised beef and holy smokes they were amazing. Such complex yet perfectly balanced flavours, excellent textures and meat cooked perfectly. For dessert we got the saffron ice cream. It was pretty but the texture of the ice cream was meh, and I wasn't too into the flavour. It might just not be for me. For drinks we got the pomegranate margarita and sour cherry negroni and I would recommend both but moreso the pomegranate margarita. Service was great and everything came out pretty quickly as well.

    The waitresses kept rushing us and reminding us that we have to leave by 7pm. Our reservation was for 5.15 and it was for a group of 6. With the 3 course meal bein mandatory, there was just not enough time and the staff were not friendly at all. I love this restaurant and my previous experience have always been great but this was a disappointment in comparison. Chef Bardia is a great guy and I am sure this is an oversight but the server offering to get our deserts to go because there not enough time was just plain rude. The restaurant had plenty of empty tables too and I know for a fact that this is not how restaurants manage their tables.

    Delicious food, super cute restaurant. Courses were brought out a bit quickly, we were in & out in under an hour, but I’ve been told that’s expected of most restaurant during the “dine out” event. Booked this for my bfs bday dinner, they put a candle in his dessert which was so sweet. I’ll definitely be back to try their main menu ! :)

    First time at Delara and we were very happy. We were here for Dine Out Vancouver. The combination of herbs and spices were great in all of our dishes including the lamb, chicken and beef dishes. The non-alcoholic drinks were creative
