Review from Raza M.

I'm swaying towards giving this place a 4 stars, but that would be harsh on some other places, that only got 3. I would describe this place a Persian fast food joint. I order the beef kebob. The lady explained me that these are not all beef, they have onions and potatoes mixed with beef, but decided to stick to my opinion, and I'm glad that I did. The kebob were excellent. They made me nostalgic, and reminded me of food back home, where it is a common practice for small joints, to mixed onion and potatoes in meat as a filler. And for 8 bucks the portion for also very good.

In a nice location right at the edge of the park I wanted to like this place.
But this spot is confused. Is it a cafe? Is it a Persian fast food restaurant?
I ordered the "Kolbeh special" which was "Kabob & Salad." Ok, I was expecting a typical Persian Kabob on a skewer with a side of salad similar to the ones you get at the dozens of Persian restaurants in the area.
Imagine my surprise when the first thing brought to my table was a Caesar salad with that typical supermarket dressing flavour packet and the dehydrated cheese powder? I could have purchased a bag at Safeway and gotten a similar experience by opening the packages myself and mixing them together. Sigh.....
The "Kabob" was served in a pita with a variety of toppings. The parsley was the highlight. The kabob itself was extremely mushy. I want to think it was beef Koobideh, but it didn't have the beef flavour I would normally associate with Koobideh. It tasted like something that had been frozen and then microwaved into complete mushiness. No grilled char, no meat flavour, etc. Very disappointing! Sigh....
With the plethora of excellent Persian food available in this area I definitely won't be returning to Kolbeh Deli & Restaurant. -

One of the very cool things about living near Lonsdale is the sheer variety of cuisines on offer. I could eat a different country's cuisine at every meal, and not repeat myself for days, maybe weeks. One of the dishes of which I am particularly fond is donairs, which seem to be available over most, if not all, of the Middle East, so the abundance of Persian places along Lonsdale gives me the opportunity to satisfy a long-standing addiction.
Kolbeh isn't pretentious (actually, I have yet to enter a Middle Eastern restaurant which was. Except for the menu, and the rather spectacular mosaic on the wall, it might be any number of sandwich shops catering to the lunch crowd pouring out of nearby offices. But the food is SO much more interesting. Sure, they serve burgers, and even hot dogs, but why go for something like that when you could have falafel or a donair? Yum! -

Found the beef donair Really good. The lady who served us was very nice and paid attention to detail, asking if we wanted extra napkins and giving extra tzasiki(sp?) too.
