The menu is SO CLEARLY LABELED! I can’t have gluten or dairy and I had the most fabulous dinner! The cider was also lovely. Kind staff that take allergies very seriously

Andrea Schartner

Amazing food, amazing service, beautiful restaurant. And basically everything here is gluten free!! This is definitely a new favourite spot. Thank you!

Анна Нікіфорова

That is a very nice place, with a lot of gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options. I got the drink on the house and it was delicious and refreshing lemonade. Didn’t get the chance to ask a servers name, but he was delightful and very friendly. The food was well seasoned and really tasty. I also asked about the weight of lamb to count the proteins and they provided that to me. I would rate it 6 stars if I could.

Justin Malhi

A lot of gluten free options, pricey but the food is very solid. Waitress was kind and the vibe was lovely!

Kyna Ng

Great communication and super adaptable to changes in quantity, and menu for a work event! The food was well received (walima feast), and catered to meat eaters as well as those with dietary restrictions or vegan/gluten-free! Only thing is the delivery person forgot to leave a crate, but we found a workaround!

Unforgettable Dining Experience at Zarak – A Must-Visit! I had the pleasure of dining at Zarak for the first time in July with a group of five people, each of us with different dietary restrictions – gluten-free, dairy-free, coconut-free, and vegetarian. While I initially felt overwhelmed by the menu, our server, Sanmeet, turned what could have been a stressful situation into a seamless and enjoyable experience. She took the time to carefully listen to our restrictions and, in less than a minute, curated the perfect menu for us, ensuring we could enjoy our time together without worrying about what to order. Her recommendations were spot on, and the variety of cocktails was equally impressive! From the moment we stepped into the restaurant, the entire team made us feel welcome and cared for. The level of attentiveness was beyond compare. One detail that stood out to me was how the staff intuitively timed their service – they approached us only during natural pauses in our conversations, which I deeply appreciated. At one point, I needed a napkin, and just as I was about to ask, one of the staff members approached me, and it felt like they had read my mind. It’s those small details that really made the experience special. Now, the food was incredible, but what made the evening truly unforgettable was the exceptional level of customer service. Towards the end of the night, everyone except me ordered dessert because I couldn’t find anything on the menu that was both dairy-free and coconut-free, which I was fine with. Sanmeet noticed and immediately went above and beyond to accommodate me. Within minutes, she brought out a delicious pistachio gelato, which had no gluten, coconut, or dairy – and it was on the house! That thoughtful gesture spoke volumes about her dedication to making sure everyone had a wonderful time. What’s even more impressive is that when my partner and I returned to Zarak a month and a half later for drinks and dinner, Sanmeet remembered us. The genuine smile on her face when I greeted her by name made it clear that this restaurant isn’t just about serving great food – it’s about creating lasting relationships with their guests. Sanmeet’s warmth, attention to detail, and genuine care for her guests left an incredible impression on me, and I’ve been raving about Zarak to everyone I know. If you ever visit, I highly recommend asking for her – she truly made our dining experience unforgettable. I look forward to returning again and again!

Gluten Free options available! Had the Eggs Benny - falafel patties instead of English muffin - and they were amazing. Highly recommend any meal here.

One of the best middle eastern cuisine. We all ate so much that we need to take a nap. Everything is so fresh. My sister has gluten and diary allergy so she was able to get amazing food customized to her allergy needs

Great dishes. Good for gluten free ans vegan. Great food all around. I would suggest having a reservation everytime

Yurii Chukhlatyi

Gluten free base pizza felt like it was served on a cracker. Other than that it’s a very lovely place with good atmosphere.

Zac Daniels

Purchased 3 meals, all three meals were absolutely fantastic! One was also gluten free and cannot fault its price and quantity. The service by a young male was terrific! Very well spoken and delivered an amazing service on phone and in person! Whilst waiting on meals, drinks were delivered without even asking and was very polite throughout the whole process. Also credits to the chef and the team, would definitely go back in a heartbeat! First meal in Vancouver coming over from Australia and was absolutely mouth watering!

I enjoy eating exotic food while in Vancouver and this time I chose Moroccan cuisine at Moltaqa Moroccan Restaurant Mainland street Yaletown. First, I asked a nice staff member what I should order. The staff was kind and gave me some advice. I chose Traditional Chicken Pastilla:Traditional Moroocan pastry with halal chicken and almonds. Sweet and savoury Pairs well with Tokaji, Poully Fuse. Lemon & Olive Halal Chicken Tagine with Saffron:turmeric and ginger saffron notes. Carrots, potatoes. Pairs well with Savignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio. For dessert, I chose whatever caught my eye when I entered the restaurant. M’Hancha - Snake Cake and Almond Briwat. Healthy and flavourful and full of aromatic spices. Vegan and gluten-free options. I would love to come back here and try the vegetarian food on my next visit to Vancouver. Highly recommend this place!

Elizabeth Murray

Amazing find when walking back cold on a snow day! Gluten free, dairy free and vegan options. I had a very hearty Mediterranean dish. The people were lovely and eager to help with my dietary requirements. I’d recommend!

We were able to get a table because of a last minute reservation. The service is good and they were helpful with the recommendations. The calamari was crispy and light, not doughy like some other establishments. I do wish they had a dip on the side to complement the flavours. I got the pappardelle as recommended, which was cooked perfectly, but I ultimately switched plates with my partner because the lamb was absolutely delicious, and he liked the pasta more so win-win! It was more on the rare side, which I loved. The potatoes were a nice touch. The only dish that disappointed was the lava cake, but I think that was because it was gluten-free so we expected something more traditional. Nevertheless it was not bad, just not something we would get again. When we were paying the bill, either the manager or the owner came by to say thank you for dining with them which was such a nice gesture! We would love to come back to try the other recommendations (uni pasta!).

Patricia Lok

Had brunch with a larger group and the menu accommodated many dietary choices. Vegan, gluten free ect. Falafel, lunch platters, desserts were all delicious. A great new find in Kitsilano.

̈Joëlle Boudigou

Good, cheap, gluten-free option

Jessica Doig

My go-to place for Greek take out. I love their traditional recipes, especially the Greek salad! Convenient location on 4th makes it an easy stop via transit. Recommend the prawn souvlaki. If you are gluten-free, you can ask for extra Greek salad instead of the bread that comes with the souvlaki.

Geoff Shellard

A fantastic sampling of Persian dishes. Baba ganouch was delicious and gluten free! I could eat their sambousa every day. Like dumpling-perogie-gyoza cheese bombs! The shish tawouk was perfectly grilled and the veggies were equally flavorful. Capped off with some backlava. We'll be back for sure!

Mahmoud Omar

They have gluten free options

I always have a great time at Dockside. Our family of three had some items from the HH menu and a dine out set. We had the salmon main, which was intricately prepared and would have taken me over 3 hours to make myself. The salmon was moist inside and seared with a perfect crust that stayed crunchy even when slathered with a pesto sauce. It was accompanied by a thick wedge of butter braised cabbage, parsnip puree, parsnip chips, miso butter and an apple slaw. So many components and each one perfect! The gluten free mushroom ‘calamari’ came with a refreshing yogurt tzatziki with a delightful, fresh cucumber aroma. Every dish had something delightful about it! The pizzas had a chewy, crispy crust that tasted from scratch. They certainly don’t serve frozen pizzas at Dockside! The Caesar salad dressing also tasted from scratch and featured a piquant, raw garlic tang that I am craving to taste again. They have the most amazing salads! Even a basic salad features fresh ingredients, thoughtfully composed. The chocolate mousse dessert was so rich and creamy, I was deep in chocolate bliss. I feel like the chef was the A+ student at culinary school who always gave 150% 🤣. And if the food was not wonderful enough, the gorgeous Vancouver water view lifts my spirits no matter the weather, especially at dusk. The rare restaurant with both good food and great views! Reasonably priced. Highly recommended!

Sarah Hopkins

Very nice place. Food was really good, and they have some great gluten free options too. Got the seafood platter to start and it was delicious. Atmosphere was nice too They had nice music playing.

Isabel Azem

This food is UNBELIEVABLE!! Everything is super tasty, well seasoned, and fresh. The portions are always generous and well priced and there is so much to choose from. I stay away from gluten but my husband or kids don’t so this place is perfect for us as there options for everyone’s needs and taste buds. I highly recommend their chicken salad plate, any of their salads and omg their falafel 🥰🥰😍😍😍. The cherry on top? Their staff. Lunch hour in waterfront is crazy busy and somehow they keep up with the lineup with a smile on their face.

Alaleh Black

Pretty decent vegan gluten free breakfast. My friends all thoroughly enjoyed their meals too. Would return.

Levi

Amazing Greek food! Great portion sizes. The staff were knowledgeable about my gluten intolerance were able to accommodate

Niki eberhardt

Fast, delicious, clean and affordable. warm and friendly staff too. I'm the middle eastern here but my husband is OBSESSED. He would have a shawarma every day if he could. I love that they also offer platter with rice instead of pita wrap so it's the same taste/actually better taste and not messy to eat and gluten free. Win win

Kimberly Collins

The service is amazing. They have gluten free calamari which is a treat for me. The food is excellent and the decor is beautiful. Highly recommend.

Carter Saint

Delicious shawarma great price and portions and the service was very friendly. Also lots of gluten free options!

Naz Turan

It was a decent food. My plate was Greek omellette, I didn't want feta cheese and toast on my own plate. Because I am lactose and gluten intolerant. It was nice that they were flexible about this. Also, my boyfriend ordered Phill steak bennies, the plate was huge, normally 1 order has 2 bennies and but you can add more. The service was good and our waiter was very friendly. We want to try the dinner service. We will come again.
