Cafe Bahar - Kirkland

After seeing the restaurant on the app, I went in expecting to have vegan options, but I struggled to find anything suitable. Most dishes were cooked in ghee, but the staff were helpful in informing me of this.

I inquired through Facebook messenger if the restaurant had any vegan options, as I assumed that items listed as vegetarian were not vegan. The response was that they do not have any explicitly vegan items on their menu.

The food is delicious, parking is convenient, and the flavors are authentic.

We were the only customers at 6 pm reservation and the server seemed surprised to see us. The menu was extensive and varied, but the lack of customers made us wonder how they keep so many items in stock. We ordered a goat curry and a shrimp curry, both of which were delicious. The goat curry had lots of bones, making it almost impossible to eat, but the sauce and cheese were excellent. The restaurant was quite dark and felt a bit disorganized (boxes visible in a corner, paper napkins, water served in Kirkland bottles). It was a bit strange, but perhaps they are just getting started. Despite this, the place has potential if they get more organized. We may give it another try in a few weeks to see if things have improved.

I came after I saw it on the app, I thought I had options, but it was very difficult to find something vegan. they cook almost everything in ghee. they were helpful by telling me that.
