Anar - Richmond

The place has been in business for 7 years, and both my girlfriend and I are very sorry that our first time here was this past Sunday! Oh well, as the old saying goes, You live, you learn. The food served here is the definition of 'picture perfect ': it does look exactly like pictures of food you 'd see in a menu at another restaurant. And the taste definitely compliments the look! My girlfriend had the Joojeh, and the amount of rice was just *perfect* for her; I ordered the Loughmeh and added another koobideh kabob...it was so good it very closely rivals the first Persian restaurant I reviewed on Tripadvisor. The layout inside is very nice, from the floor to the tables to the pictures on the wall. The service was excellent; very friendly host, and the kitchen staff were very efficient with the cooking of the food (we were served ten minutes after ordering). Can 't wait to go back!

Anar serves Mediterranean and Persian cuisine. Lovely place as it was an old courthouse so ambiance is nice. Food is delicious and portions are generous. I am not vegetarian but I found all the vegetarian dishes very tasty.

Amazing food, service and presentation. Excellent flavors and spices. The extra bonus Super Dog Friendly on the patio! We will be back!!

As a new experience , my boyfriend I tried Anar in Steveston! It is housed in a heritage building! The decor is eclectic! They have a fabulous lunch menu for $17 but you can also order from the main menu ! I had the Joojeh was not disappointed! My boyfriend had the Ghaymeh Bademjoon loved every bite! We look forward to returning in the very near future!

I went with 3 friends and we all loved the food. It has so much flavour without being spicy. The service was excellent and the prices are good. Small restaurant but cosy.
