I've been here a few times. Always had a good experience. Food is excellent and the atmosphere is great - there are often belly dancers or other types of live entertainment. Only complaint I have is the lack of drink choices, although it is an Afghan restaurant.....
Definitely would recomend this place, esspecially for a date....

My main complaint about this place is the value! Prices are about twice as high as they should be. Food was so so - nothing special. Service was slow even when the restaurant was almost empty. I was charged $2.25 for extra tortillas when they didn't provide enough with the fajitas. Definitely will not go back! Probably the worst experience at a Mexican restaurant I've ever had.

I really am not a big pasta person, but when my date suggested we go there I decided to try it out. The menu was daunting for me (since I don't eat pasta, I don't know the difference between fussili or linguinie) so the date ordered for me. It was some spirally pasta, with a slightly spicey clearish sauce and a bunch of different meats, and we shared a caesar salad which is the only caesar salad I've ever had in a restaurant that I like. There was something real tasting about this pasta, less processed and just so fresh tasting!!!! The sauce was flavourful, the meat aplenty and so was the pasta. We didn't even finish our meal, and were completely stuffed (and both of us are big eaters).

The service was awesome, the girl fetching everyone was super nice and was even polite to the numerous pepole walking in past the line up and demanding a table. I hope her tip outs are good, because I could not handle the way people were acting toward her myself. It's not her fault it's a popular place, and their is a line up! Our server was awesome as well, she was super busy and was still taking the time to answer questions and even told me about the wine when i ordered just the house white (a little dry, but goes wonderfully with the pasta). Our plates were cleaned up promptly with smiles and wasn't intrusive.

The ambiance I'm giving a higher rating because I love how there are pictures of Anton's life, and the cheesy neon lights totally fit with the style of the place.

Well worth the wait, even for a non-pasta lover

We had been holding off on going to this place due to mixed reviews from our friends. We went there for brunch on a weekday, and found it surprisingly busy. The food we ordered was very good, my DH loved his eggs and especially the grilled tomatoes he ordered, I had the classic eggs benedict and I thought it was very good, next time I would ask for sauce on the side as the poor little egg was drowning in it. Service was prompt and good, my coffee was always full. The only downside is the price -- I think it came to $30 for two of us for brunch, which is quite high in my book. Is it worth it for a diner-style brunch? That's up to you, but for me I will go back on occassion (but not very frequently.)

this place is a jewel in surrey.i remember 3 years ago when i visited for the first time with my girlfriend we ordered butter chicken and shahi paneer, it was amazing, we enjoyed a lot . Then we became the regular customers of mirch masala because of their food ans service. we enjoyed everytime when we go there. but when i saw the customers making fun of mirch masala, it made me to write all my experince.most of the customers are thinking the management is changed but nooooooooooooooo, the management is same only the thing is the waiters are changed and all are new but the manager and chefs are all same as before.also when i visited a week before i noticed a great change in interior of mirch masala, its newly renovated to serve customers better and when i talked to the manager of mirch masala he told me that he is making this place more beautiful and comfortable .i think everyone should go there, taste their superb food and have a great fun with there loved ones.

I live nearby so after seeing this place stay open for more than a year, I decided to search it up on Dinehere. You would hardly notice it if you just drove by though. It's tucked in a small grocery market and it is not a restaurant at all but rather a small little food stand inside. At first I was skeptical that the city would even allow this place to open as there should probably be some sort of code violation. After reading some favourable reviews though, I decided to give it a try. Of course, I had to try the Laksa as that was in the name of the restaurant. I do admit that the curry soup was not bad. Pretty creamy and tasty. The ingredients (or lack of it) was what disappointed me. After spending $7.50 for a bowl of noodles, I expected to see more than a few tiny pieces of chicken but that's all I got. And there were a few miniature tofu puffs and also a couple of little shrimps. And there was a hard boiled egg in there as well. But for dine in prices, I expected normal sized items in the soup but what I got was a small bowl of noodles with mini ingredients in there. I also ordered a beef wrap for $4.50 and although the picture of it looked large, when I got it, I thought I only got a fraction of the actual thing. It was literally half the length of my hand. And I ordered a small Roti wrap with chicken curry dip for $3.99. The Roti as you can already guess was not just small, It was tiny. And the dip was nothing more than a very watered down curry soup (no chicken inside at all). I was pretty disappointed that I got 3 tiny items that I finished eating them all by myself in less than 5 minutes but it costed close to $20 including tax. For that price, I could have gotten more food of better quality elsewhere.

I only discovered the existence of this branch whilst walking past it the other day. I have eaten from the Langley branch in the past and really enjoyed what I ate there so my expectations were high. I telephoned from home to order a take out for delivery this evening. The person who took my order just could not spell my name, I repeated the spelling (of 6 letters) about 3 times, even shouting it out to him as I thought that he may have had a hearing problem. I then had to do the same with my address. 20 minutes later, a female called me to enquire about my address! I repeated what I had told the first person but she appeared confused and clearly had not heard of my road which is in Port Moody, not far from the restaurant. When the driver eventually arrived with the food, he told me to call the restaurant as they had not given him a receipt hence had no idea of what I owed! I then had to waste my time calling to find out how much I owed, only to be asked by the manager what I had ordered! At no point did the manager apologise for this shambles. When I finally got the food, I noted that my name was still not spelled correctly on the boxes. In fact, it wasn't even a variation of my name but someone else's altogether. The fact that the 3 boxes corresponded to my order made me realise that the person who originally took my order must really have a hearing or literacy problem.

My main order was the singapore cashew stir fry with chicken and hokkien noodles. I could not taste any cashew in the dish nor could I see any. The menu advertises this dish as being spicy. All I could taste was sweet and sour sauce with not a hint of spice. It is also stated on the menu that the dish contains cilantro. There was definitely no cilantro in mine. I ate some of it and binned the rest. The other items I ordered were the samosas and green onion cakes which were tolerable. All in all, my experience of this place has been overwhelmingly dismal. Bad service is one thing, but bad service (with no apology) coupled with even worse food is unacceptable. I will never set foot anywhere near this place again. I have already emailed a complaint to Wok Box's customer service dept.

The food is authentic, but I wouldn't say it was properly prepared. On two separate occasions, the food was overcooked: sweetbreads were cold and tough, steak was overcooked, mussels on the rubbery side from being cooked too long. Yet, my friends -- whose taste I trust in food -- went on another occasion and enjoyed the salad with lardons. This leads to me to believe that if you play it safe and order small plates and avoid seafood, you should be okay. Either that, or it's just a case of it being very hit and miss, a problem that I don't have with other French bistros in Vancouver.

One thing I'd like to add: I made a reservation there for my friend's birthday, and even called back to change the number of diners to 2 and confirm the time. My friend arrived to find there was a reso for 4, for an hour later. They sat us at the bar, as they had no table for us, and claimed that I had made the change myself. Turns out, they had called the person above me in the reso book and that person had made these changes, and it had been written over my name. After all this, I would have expected that the next table coming up should be ours, or complimentary drinks while we waited, or SOMETHING. But there was nothing, not even an apology from the manager. And the server did not speak to me the entire evening, which made ordering awkward.

I should have loved this restaurant. I am the exact demographic The Foundation seems to be pandering to--a twenty-something vegetarian hipster. While I usually love vegetarian restaurants (especially ones with mis-matched reused furniture and jars for water glasses), The Foundation fell WAY short of my expectations.

I had read some reviews before going, but I didn't think it would be as bad as everyone says. Well, I was right. It was worse. We went at about 5 in the afternoon, so we didn't have to wait in line, and we were seated with menus immediately by a friendly, though scattered and mumbly (possibly high?), hipster dude.

The first thing I noticed was the puke-green walls. They really need to change that colour. The walls were plastered with cliché "revolutionist" quotes printed on white paper in a horribly ugly font. Whoever decorated The Foundation had not been inside a restaurant before, that much is certain. Besides the eyesore walls, the lighting was dim (not a problem for us as it was still light out, but I can see it being annoying when the sun goes down), and the gangsta rap was blaring so loudly my dining partner and I couldn't even have a conversation. The other people in the restaurant were yelling to have their voices heard, which certainly didn't add to the atmosphere.

Our bored-looking waitress finally came over with water after about five or seven minutes of menu-perusing, and was incredibly quiet--apparently the inability to speak loudly and clearly is a job requirement at The Foundation. We ordered, then both chugged our water immediately (it was hot out!) but were never offered a refill. We ordered two dishes to share (the "mingling yams" and the regular nachos) and received the yams after only about eight minutes, then the nachos about ten minutes after that. Not a huge wait time, but the dishes were simple appetizers, and the place hadn't gotten busy yet. However, I prefer to have my food brought out all at once, but I guess if they thought the yams were an appetizer I can see.... no, I really don't even want to try and justify it. They were disorganized, our food was brought out by the happy stoner who served us, not our waitress, and the yam dish was really just gross. Didn't enjoy it whatsoever. The nachos were good, though the cheese was a little burnt in some places. But the portion was enormous.

Since the portions were ridiculously huge, we couldn't finished, and waited for our waitress to come by to check on us and take our food away to box it up. We waited. And waited. She came back into the room... and served the table beside us. Didn't even glance at us. So we waited some more. She came back our way no less than six times over a period of no less than ten minutes, and though she even made eye contact with both me and my dining partner on two occasions, she didn't make any move to serve us. We passed the time discussing the ways we would spend the money that could have been her tip. When she finally came to our table, I told her that we wanted our bill and the food wrapped up, and she only took about five minutes to do that. She brought our bill without a smile or a thank-you.

Having been in the food service industry since I was 13 (and an all-around bleeding heart), I tend to tip at least 15% even if the service is bad. Well, I had never had service this bad. The Foundation received the honour of being the first restaurant ever where I didn't leave a tip. I don't feel good about myself for not tipping, but they absolutely did not deserve a gratuity. I was even toying with the idea of dining and dashing, so our meals would have come out of our crappy waitress' pocket (don't worry, I didn't, I'm not a terrible person).

I understand the vegetarian fare in Vancouver isn't fabulous, but please don't give this place business while The Naam, a much better vegetarian restaurant, is only five kilometres away. Their food is equally as good, portions even bigger, prices just as fair, and they actually serve you. Service seems like an unheard of concept to The Foundation, but it does exist in hip vegetarian places.
