Reviews for Yasma in Vancouver, BC
My wife and I are visiting from Boston. This is our first time eating Syrian/Lebanese food. Staff was friendly. Really... appreciated the person recommending the spiced potato dish to us, adding extra olive oil to our eggplant dish, and taking ourphotos around the restaurant. The spiced potato went so well with the Eggplant mutabbal dish we ordered. My favorite was theAleppo kebab. The lamb kebab was cooked perfectly and it was so flavorful with the different spices they used. Also loved thecharred vegetables and different salads that came with the dish. I knew very little about Mediterranean/middle eastern food, butafter yesterday I have a whole new appreciation for how healthy and delicious middle eastern food is. Read more
We ended up ordering Babba Ganouch, Fattoush Salad, Fried Kibbeh and Skewer of the Day. Babba Ganouch is made of eggplant with... some roti pita bread on the side. Those roti is great and they come out hot to touch hence extremely fresh and tasty. I’m notsure what the proper way of eating that was but we just filled the roti with Babba Ganouch and it was great. Our server alsobrought more roti before we even asked. Fattoush salad was fantastic with great taste and little carb. Fried kibbeh was a littleunderwhelming though the dipping sauce was great. Overall I think this place has great service. Our server was very attentiveand took the time to explain and recommend dishes for us. The food we had tasted great and looked pleasant too. Read more
Words could not describe the experience we had at Yasma. Unfortunately because they were fully booked and us not having a... reservation we were seated at the bar, which was our first and memorable moment. Mo & Dora who took care of us, taught us somuch about the restaurant and the food, which would most likely not happen if we were placed at a table. The food we ordered waswell presented and delicious. The restaurant is chic, clean, and filled with polite, friendly, and professional dressedstaff. If you are looking for a restaurant that is away from all the hustle and bustle with a beautiful view, I recommend thisgem! Thank you Mo & Dora for the memorable experience! Read more
Ordered the Aleppo Kebab, Shish Kibbeh, and a creamy chicken dish. The latter was absolutely exquisite unfortunately, if... you’ve really had a lot of good Syrian food across the planet then it’s tough to give this place a higher rating. Maybe inVancouver this is good but, here too there isn’t much value. A lot of the cost here is driven by the fantastic location andbeautiful interior. Perfect setting with good food but given the value the good wasn’t that great. Probably would go again andsee the consistency. Read more

Upon entering the restaurant you can immediately tell that a lot of thought and detail went into it. We were checked in right... away and taken to our table which was a little cozier than I'd anticipated (tables close to each other) but the view made up forit. The waiters were friendly, knowledgeable and knew the menu items very well. They made any changes we asked for without anyissues. The food and desserts were all very tasty and full of flavor. The cubed potatoes were very very spicy as there is freshThai chilies mixed in, they were so good I finished the whole thing (you can always ask for no chillies). The pricing is onpoint, very reasonable for what you get. The only down side is the salad (21 bucks for greens is a bit high) but I still had totry it! Needless to say it was very delicious. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to couples and adults enjoying timetogether (not really Meant for kids). Over all everything was 10/10.. I will definitely return. Keep in mind you do need tocall or book a table online. Read more

Being a Vancouverite I’m still in awe on how Vancouver’s diverse food and culture has grown over the years AND yesterday I... had a taste of Lebanese/Syrian food at Yasma. It was absolutely divine! The quality, the flavor, location and ambiance was trulyan amazing experience. The staff were professional and friendly even when the restaurant was full they took time to chat andprovide a unique middle eastern flair to the evening. It was my first time to have Fatoush salad - amazing! Lamb - flavorful andmelts in your mouth. Arabic coffee and cheese/nut pastry for dessert was a beautiful finish to such a wonderful evening. It waslike going to the Middle East without leaving my backyard. Truly awesome! Read more
