The Best Persian Restaurant
Right Here in Maple Ridge, BC
No commute. No highway. No compromise. Taste of Persia has been proudly serving Maple Ridge with authentic Iranian cuisine since day one — fresh kabobs, slow-cooked stews, saffron rice, in-house baked tanoori bread, and a weekend Persian breakfast your neighbourhood has claimed as its own.
Authentic Iranian Cooking, Rooted Right Here in Your Community
Taste of Persia isn't just a restaurant — it's a Maple Ridge institution. For years we've been the go-to spot for residents across the city who want a genuine Persian dining experience without leaving town. We're family-owned and community-driven, and we put that same family care into every single dish we prepare.
Our kitchen follows traditional Iranian recipes passed down through generations — dishes that take time, patience, and the right ingredients. From our charcoal-grilled kabobs to our slow-braised stews and fragrant saffron rice, everything is made fresh daily. When you walk in, you're not getting reheated food — you're getting a meal prepared the way it would be in a Persian home.
We sit at 20757 Lougheed Hwy., Maple Ridge — right on the main road, easy to find, with free parking front and back. Open 7 days a week, including a beloved Persian breakfast on weekends.
