About Cazba Restaurant
Cazba Restaurant serves Persian comfort food, kebabs, and saffron rice at 132 West 16th Street in Central Lonsdale, North Vancouver.
When the rain is coming down sideways on Central Lonsdale and you need a meal that actually warms you up, Cazba Restaurant at 132 West 16th Street delivers Persian comfort food with generous portions of saffron rice and grilled meats. Open daily from 11:30 am to 10:00 pm for dine-in, pickup, and delivery, this spot relies on timeless recipes and pure ingredients rather than fleeting trends. The menu structure feels familiar to North Shore diners who appreciate traditional preparation, offering everything from kashk-e bademjan and mirza ghasemi to house-made bread and tahdig when available. It is the kind of reliable neighborhood table where you can settle in for a proper sit-down dinner or grab takeout without sacrificing quality.
The grill anchors the experience with koobideh, jujeh, barg-style fillet, shishlik, and mixed plates like soltani and bakhtiari that easily feed a family before heading up toward Lynn Valley. Lighter options such as barley soup, shirazi salad, and wraps provide flexibility for solo lunches, while larger shared platters scale up for groups wanting a full spread of stews and kebabs. Prices remain sensible for the area, with sides and soups under ten dollars and most kebab plates in the twenties or thirties. This straightforward approach makes it a practical alternative to another burger night, especially when you crave fresh herbs, yogurt, and hot bread after a long hike or a damp commute along Lonsdale Avenue.
