I’m originally from middle-east living in the US, and this is by far the best middle-eastern food I’ve ever had abroad! Try the feast for 2 - having plenty of the tasty stuff (cauliflower was amazing)

Baba ghanouj is amazing, order it with cucumbers for a completely vegan/ gluten free option apposed to the pita bread. Their holistic drinks are the bombdotcom, and the sea scallops are delicious!

We had the Feast. And it was delicious. The baklavas were a little dry but you could tell it was home made and it was still really good. The restaurant is also really pretty and service super friendly

Only eaten here once so far, but it was one of the best meals I've ever had. Vegan options, great prices and fresh juices have won me over!

Lovely spot, get the feast, brussel sprouts, halumi cheese. Loved the el nino cocktail w rum and cardamom, as well as the lebanese lemonade

Their daily specials are great. I also love their fresh juices, their humus and their famous Najib's Special.

Just a really nice dining experience. Food for Vegans, vegetarians and carnivores (me) alike. Service was exceptional. Hummus and the babaganoush were the bomb

The chicken was a-freaking-maxing. I personally had the lamp (which was also good), gf had the chicken and I couldn't stop eating her entree.

Najib's Special and the falafel. Get those for sure. The eggplant dish is also very easily vegan and fantastic. Every location has it a bit different which is great.
Claudina AlvarezAugust 27, 2013
Ordered: red sangria, lamb hushwie, mjadra, and najib's special. Great for sharing, awesome prices, lots of gluten free options and delicious. Also, really nice servers :)
Ginny MonacoDecember 5, 2013
The lunch plates are especially filling and very reasonably priced. Try the Najib's Special. Friendly staff to boot!
Sarah WarWickedAugust 18, 2017
The Lamb chop is the best lamb I have ever had in my life. And the Falafels are incredible. It is 100% worth its price

Close between 4h30-5h00. Very good service. Share the "entrées" to taste a lot of lebanese specialities
Elston GarrisonMarch 20, 2016
The lamb kibbeh is good, but very different from fried kibbeh if you are used to that.
Ghislaine ChanAugust 3, 2013
Le Feast is a great sampler to try with a friend. Very delicious and healthy.
Taylor LorenNovember 14, 2010
My favourite restaurant in Vancouver! Order the Cold Mezze to share (vegetarian, yum!) for only $28. Also amazing: Organic Sangria and the scallops are TO DIE FOR. Great place for a date.

Famous for "Najib's special", it's must for any order. To take the edge off a long day order the Grapefruit Gimlet
Daniel RoyJanuary 29, 2015
The falafel is fantastic. The Turkish coffee is a big pot, do don't drink it alone unless you like bouncing off walls.
QuinteinMay 5, 2018
This place structurally reminds me of the Cantina from Star Wars. The food here is very good quality.
meruAugust 2, 2013
The owner was super nice to us! I would go back just to chat with him again. Najib's Special and the Duck was good!
Andrew JensenOctober 29, 2015
Chicken and the lamb are brilliant as are the dips and sides...it's basically all amazing!

Popular Lebanese resto with great food and service

Got garden falafel and chicken shish tawook and loved it! Hummus was really fresh too.
Estrellada KingFebruary 2, 2014
Everything was delicious and their cocktails are unique and satisfying. The quinoa cake was a little over baked.
Mashael AlsowailemJanuary 2, 2019
The food is ok. This is not how Lebanese food tastes. Don’t know why they say its middle eastern. It kinda has a canadian twist to it. Would give it a 6/10
ManilAugust 28, 2014
Anything with fish has lots of flavour. Cauliflower dishes are good too.
Natalie VMay 21, 2017
Delicious food! Highly recommend The Feast. Service was very slow though.
Miguel Ángel Barragán ArévaloSeptember 28, 2014
The Turkish coffee here tastes simply beau-ti-ful !
Sarah SinclairMay 23, 2012
The red wine sangria is incredible. Also try "La Feast". It's a great way to sample a bunch of favorites.

Order the Najib's Special plate (half/half potato + rice) and get the hot sauce. Turkish coffee to sip afterwards. Read more

The Najib Special is the best cauliflower I've ever had.
Matthew MaciejewskiAugust 31, 2015
All around delicious food. The falafel is a must have.

Delicious! Really enjoyed it and there were lots of vegan options.

Chat to Victor, the owner, and try the daily smoothie concoction. Pig out to your heart's content on healthy lebanese cuisine. Come for the food, stay for the cucumber water.

The falafel plate is where it's at. Not only is this a great sit down restaurant, you can grab meals to go at the back.
Kyati RazFebruary 5, 2018
Uses halal meat. Great foul medames. Good location
Em DashSeptember 3, 2011
Divine cocktails. Very Eco-conscious food with vegan options and local seasonal ingredients.

Najib's Special! And the fattoush salad is fabulous... if you like garlic. ;)
Jeff SummersJune 4, 2013
The juices are very fresh and definitely worth it.
Dee De Los SantosApril 18, 2012
I normally hate cauliflower but Najib's special makes me a believer.
Heather FoehMarch 26, 2016
Heading there for lunch? Arrive by 11:30 if you don't have a reservation.
Ibrahim KhalilFebruary 14, 2019
The food is good, the environment is chill.

The Najib special is to die for! Great atmosphere at the Hastings location.

Delicious hummus & stuffed eggplant.
Eric LoweSeptember 9, 2009
Any idea how hard it is to get decent Falafel in Vancouver? Try this cozy Lebanese joint. Order anything on the menu, it's all great.
