Darband Restaurant - Surrey

I was told by a middle eastern restaurant owner to check out Darband Restaurant. Now, if another restaurant owner is telling me to check out a competing place within walking distance of him - the food has to be pretty good, right? And right would be correct in the case of Darband Restaurant!I went here with a friend. I had the Ground Beef Kebab with a plate of Basmati rice. The plate had 2 generous sized kebabs which was delicious and priced around $10. My friend had a plate of Basmati rice and a large portion of Chicken kebab which was also very good and tender. I've only been here once so I'll have to check out other menu items at a later date. The restaurant itself is not fancy and typical like most Middle Eastern Restaurants in the $8-14 range. It's a very basic setup but you're here for the food. And the food is great.They also have $6.99 lunch specials which look pretty good. I'll list them off below but I personally wouldn't get the special since it features items I don't care for such as soup and rice pudding. Lunch specials run from Mon-Thurs (12pm-3pm)LUNCH SPECIALS:1 ) Rice mixed with lentils & ground beef, daily soup, and vine leaves wrap (DOLMEH)2 ) Rice mixed with brood bean and chicken, daily soup, and rice pudding.3) Rice mixed with barberry and chicken, daily soup, and vine leaves wrap (DOLMEH)4 ) Rice with Gheymeh stew (beef & yellow split peas), daily soup, & rice pudding.5 ) Meat ball (a giant one), daily soup, and rice pudding6 ) Rice, one skewer ground beef kebab, daily soup, and rice pudding.If i was to get the special, I'd probably pick #6, #4, #5, and #3 (in that order).I'd highly recommend this place to people who live in the Vancouver area of BC. Especially people in the Coqutlam/Burnaby border also known as Burquitlam.I'm definitely going back.

The pomegranate juice and ice cream at this restaurant are fresh and delicious. The customer service is great. I hope they continue to maintain their high quality.

I have been eager to visit this restaurant for months, but have not had the opportunity until now.

Great juice and delicious ice cream. The service was 5 star and they explained the menu to us very clearly. Definitely will be back for more.

The restaurant itself has a simple setup, similar to many Middle Eastern restaurants, with prices ranging from $8 to $14. The focus here is on the food, which truly delivers. They also offer lunch specials for $6.99, which include a variety of dishes like rice mixed with lentils and ground beef, Mediterranean stuffed grape leaves, and more. While I personally wouldn't choose the lunch specials that include soup and rice pudding, I would recommend trying out options like the rice with ground beef kebab or the beef stew. Overall, I highly recommend Darband Restaurant to those in the Vancouver area, specifically residents of Coquitlam and Burnaby (also known as Burquitlam). I will definitely be returning in the future.
