Modern Persian cooking with creative flair, best experienced at dinner; generous portions and standout breads, but occasional service hiccups and saltiness complaints appear during peak events.
Delara delivers strong food quality with memorable lamb shank and duck fesenjoon, supported by warm, attentive service and thoughtful design in an appealing Kitsilano location. However, inconsistent execution—occasional oversalting and rice texture issues— and a food safety concern involving an allergy incident prevent grade A territory. Best experienced at dinner when the kitchen and service shine most consistently.
One caveat: Pricing is genuinely expensive (C$30-45 mains) which may surprise casual diners
