My partner and I have been here about 5 times... each time we dine in. Service is good. Most people order out/pickup, but we like dining in. The place is friendly, and the food is pretty good. I've tried the lamb and chicken curries, as well as the vegetarian dishes such as the okra. My boyfriend usually goes for the butter chicken. Each dish comes with rice, and we also get a basket of naan. The complementary appetizer always crispy and nicely made with toasted cumin. We usually order the (potato)pakora appies. We'll be back for more.

I had heard a lot about Faux Bourgeouis, and yes, there's a bit of hype. Do reserve your table, as it was busy the whole night and I don't think I saw a table empty for more than the time it took to clear and clean it off. We talked for 10 minutes after the bill came and went, as we digested, but the waitress came by to let us know our table was reserved for another group, and we quickly left. We weren't surprised, and certainly not offended. The ambiance was decent, and unpretentious, from the non-table-clothed tables to simple bar and walls. Our food was very good. We did wait a while for our entrees, but we could tell the kitchen was going to be busy. Our appetizers however, arrived promptly and I enjoyed my french onion soup while my friend had a salad. The soup was very very generously topped with cheese, and much better than the french onion soup offered at Mistral's, as this one was based on a delicious complex brown stock, and changed my mind on french onion soup. Throughout the meal the waitresses came by several times to fill our water, and we kept ourselves entertained until our mains arrived. When it did, I was not dissapointed. The canard confit arrived and was decent, although I would've preferred mine a little crispier (Here's where Mistral's would take the blue ribbon), but the dish itself was not bad. It came on a bed of frisee, along with green beans and perfectly crispy roasted potatoe halves, with a vinaigrette sauce. My friend had a sausage and mash which wasn't presented as well as the confit, but the slightly spicy sausage was quite good (couldn't taste the cinnamon, but could find the trace of nutmeg in it), and reminescent of a fancier lean pepperoni. We finished by sharing a creme brulee, which was a just a little too sweet for my taste, but still smooth and enjoyable. Total: $63.

We went for dim sum on a Wednesday morning, and were seated quickly, however, the waiter failed to explain how the tea was served (Everyone orders their own tea, with a shared pot of hot water placed in the middle of the table), in fact the waiter failed to communicate much with us. Food was good, it all came pretty quickly to the table.I don't think they use as much MSG as your average dim sum place. Overall the service was abrupt, and people working there looked gloomy. It's hard to enjoy a meal with sad, unimpressed looking servers moping around. The bill was a bit on the expensive side for the few dishes we ordered, but after the TOP GUN discount of 30% off (we finished our meal before 11:00, and one of us had a discount card), the bill was on par with what other dim sum restaurants charge. I probably wouldn't go here again, as I don't live in Burnaby, would recommend other Vancouverites to try Prince or Green Village in Vancouver.

Went with a friend, we ordered about 7 dishes between the two of us, and 4 drinks later, the bill only came to $55.
We enjoyed everything that we had ordered. All the food came to the table perfectly done, and each dish was very unique. Sure, you might be able to name every ingredient in the dish, but picking out the flavours was fun, and delicious. The drinks were fun too, we ordered the earomantic, affectionirvana (both had jelly on the bottom! sounds weird, tastes good) as well as sapporo beer and black jet jump
We ordered:
takowasa (our favorite)
popeye salad
yam fries
short ribs
shrimp and scallop rice gratin (didn't actually find shrimp, but had mushrooms instead and scallops) covered with cheese. could've use a pinch of salt more, but was delicious nonetheless.
beef tataki
for dessert we shared the earl grey creme brulee, which was perfected with a very light barely there sugar crust.
Presentation was beautiful and I will be bringing my boyfriend around next time.

We went to Kelsey's since it was on the way to the movie theatres, and it was a pitstop we won't be making again. While the service was decent, and we got to watch the game on any of the 6 screens by the bar (we chose a booth seat), the plates came half empty. I just expected a full plate when ribs with fries and a salad are supposed to fit on one plate, maybe adding some fries would've helped the half-empty look. Our food didn't take too long to come, but it wasn't anything special. The side salads are quite small as well, which is a little confusing as Kelsey's no fine dining establishment. All in all, not worthy of a second try.

After giving Kisamos a second chance, I have to say although the prices are cheap, but food is dissapointing. I ordered roast lamb both times, with both times being waay to salty. The second time I ordered, I was told that the lamb gets pre-marinaded, and the chef cannot control the salt content (how about not adding that much salt in the marinade?). Anyways, my sides were all pretty good, standard rice and potatos with greek salad fare, and since I like my starches, I survived both meals. However, if you like greek roast lamb, try Stephos on Davie in Vancouver for a even wallet friendlier option, or almost any Greek place in Burnaby.

The first time I ate Saffron food was after a movie during the summer. We drove past prior to our movie, and the smell permeated the street and we *had* to cave in to the delicious aroma from the kitchen. Because the restaurant closes at 10, we ordered take out, which came in large portions, with plenty of rice. (One take out order = a foil tub of butter chicken/curry chicken and another foiled tub filled with rice) for $14.

We gathered a large group to Saffron, having raved about the deliciousness and value. However, the service was lacking (there were 5 of us, and our water was filled once in the two hours we were there) when the food came, while the deliciousness was there, the value was not. Eating in means the portions are a third of what you pay for take out, and rice surprisingly did not come with your meal (try $3.50 for a small serving of rice). Now, I don't know how anyone eats butter chicken, in all its delicious flavourful sauce without any rice or naan.

I will be back, as the food is delicious. But due to the difference in portion size, and lack of service, I will be taking my food out.

I went with a group of five, three had the buffet, and two of us ordered off the menu. I ordered the eggplant, which was supposed to come with a side of rice. When it arrived at the table, it came in a tomato sauce which was good. The rice was stuffed into half of an empty eggplant, and looked appetizing. However when I took a bite it tasted like vomit. The mixture of rice had included something acidic and something curd-like. I tried to pepper over the taste, but it didn't work. Not wanting to appear rude in front of company, I did not want to send the dish back to the kitchen. A request for parmesan saved the dish, after I covered each bite generously with cheese. The yam fries I ordered were soggy and barely hot.
A member of our party ordered the salmon, and was dissapointed with her dish, which was overcooked and dried.
Of the three who ordered the all you can eat meat option, all agreed the lamb was overcooked and dried as well. One was hungry afterwards, and we made a pit stop to pick up a sub.
Perhaps they'd hoped the colourful dancers would've been sufficient distraction from the poor quality coming out of the kitchen.

Went tonight, and had the jerk chicken, regular sized. It came on a plate with a delicious and generous serving of rice mixture, and salad. My friend had the same, but with baked roti instead of the rice, which she enjoyed as well.

My friend and I were the only people dining, on this quiet Saturday. Why? I don't know. It was delicious and a relatively cheap eat. Softly played music helped in the quiet restaurant. I will be recommending it to friends.

Waited an hour for a party of 5, which apparently is normal. If you don't mind the Stephos-style line out the door, a good place for sushi. High turnover meant fresh sashimi. Lovely tea. No complaints about the food, and highly recommended the soft-shell crab, the dinner box was a little dissapointing, due to the selection of food that went into it. Tempura was lightly battered and fried to perfection.
