Café popolari a Commercial Drive

It was perfect! It was my girlfriend’s birthday and her first time experiencing high tea. Then staff were so sweet they put a candle into a small cupcake to celebrate her thank you for a wonderful experience we will definitely be back!

The chicken fried mushrooms were not great - the dip was fantastic, but if you like dipping deep fried dough then this may be wonderful for you. The Babaganoush was fantastic but I think pita bread would be a better accompaniment than lavash - it was thin and hard. Best dish was the cauliflower. Our server was amazing!

I have been a regular customer for the past 20 years, and continue to be amazed at how such a small place can provide such outstanding food. The place is always full; you need a reservation. They don't advertise, and the small sign outside is a recent addition. You had to know about the place to eat there, but they have never lacked customers. The ownership changed about a year ago, but the quality did not change. I have never had a bad, or even an average meal there.

Great service and great wine and cocktails! Staff were so nice and place was such a nice vibe.

Quiet on a weekday for afternoon tea which was such a treat. Friendly and helpful staff. Delicious afternoon tea!
