Anar Persian Cuisine is a hidden gem in Richmond.

The Dolmeh Barg is beef stuffed in vine leaves with rice and herbs. I like the tangy, herbal-ish flavour from the vine leaves, reminding me of a Vietnamese/Cambodian dish that is quite similar. It is an acquired taste, but an interesting one to try.

The lamb shank was served with dill rice, banana peppers and olives. The stew that accompanied the lamb is flavourful and complimented the lamb. The lamb was so tender and fell off the bone easily. Dill rice is the perfect addition to give the rice a bit of a fresh taste. This was my favourites

The Kubideh came with two skewers of seasoned beef and lamb served with rice, salad, pepperoncini, olives and roasted tomato. The skewers were very flavourful and tender. It didn’t require any dipping or additional sauce. The salad and rice is a nice, I would have preferred the dill rice instead.

I’d recommend checking this place out, especially if you want a break from the Asian food in Richmond. It’s a great mom and pop shop!
