Customer Review Summary

Steak repeatedly emerges as the centerpiece, with reviewers praising the Barg Kebab as well-marinated and tender, filet steak described as melting in the mouth, and a steak board called great value for a group of four. Close behind, several mention dishes like Arrabbiata pasta with a delicious meat sauce, tiramisu, and seabass cooked well, alongside a Soltani Kebab and Kashk Bademjan served with high-quality bread. Staff are consistently described as friendly and welcoming, with more than one diner noting attentiveness even with larger groups and children. A few caveats surface: one reviewer found the rice oily and the Mahicheh slightly raw tasting, another found the room cold enough to suggest wrapping up warm, and one diner felt understaffed with only one server covering a quiet, large room while also being uncomfortable when asked about a tip despite an already-included service charge. Diners otherwise describe returning multiple times, with one noting the filet steak experience coincided with a change under new management.

    “As someone who absolutely loves a great steak, I’m always searching for somewhere that truly delivers. This place came highly recommended by a fellow steak enthusiast whose opinion I trust, and it exceeded every expectation. The food was outstanding from start to finish, but the steak was the real star of the show—mouthwatering perfection. The venue is beautiful, the service is impeccable, there’s convenient parking on-site, and the prices are incredibly reasonable considering the quality and generous portions. What genuinely surprised me was that the restaurant wasn’t packed. Places serving food this good deserve queues out the door. Des La Vies is a hidden gem that deserves far more attention, so consider this my official shout-out. If you’re a steak lover, this is an absolute must-try. I think I’ve just found my new favourite steak spot. 🥩🔥”

    “Had a wonderful dining experience here with a group of 5 friends, and everyone loved their meal! The service stands out immediately the staff are very professional and welcoming. The food was incredible across the board. The Arrabbiata pasta had the perfect flavor, the meat sauce was absolutely delicious, and the tiramisu was the perfect end to the night. Highly recommend !”

    “Beautiful place with delicious food. Been here a few times now, their steaks are really tasty and perfectly cooked. Seabass was cooked to perfection and their sides are just yumm!”
  • Karen Reddington
    “This place is fantastic- the food is delicious. We had the steak board which was great value for 4 people. The decor is lovely and gives it a great atmosphere. The only one complaint is that's its cold. Make sure you wrap up warm. If you like steak thus is a must try. Way better than the chain place up the road!!!”

    “This was my first visit to Delaviz, and overall it was a pleasant experience. The restaurant has a beautiful atmosphere with tasteful interior design, and Italian music playing in the background added a nice touch to the ambiance. For food, I ordered Soltani Kebab and Baghali Polo with Mahicheh, along with Kashk Bademjan as a starter, which was served with high-quality bread. The kebabs were excellent. The Barg Kebab was well-marinated, very tender, and cooked perfectly. The rice, however, was quite oily and could have been lighter. I personally did not enjoy the Mahicheh as much, as it had a slightly raw meat taste. I hope this was due to the marinade rather than storage issues. Interestingly, my wife liked it a lot, so this may come down to personal preference. Customer service was polite and respectful. However, the restaurant is quite large and only one waiter was managing the whole area. Even on a quiet day, having only one server felt a bit unfair and inefficient. One negative point was an unusual question from the waiter asking whether I would like to give a tip, despite a 10% service charge already being included in the bill. I found this uncomfortable and unnecessary. In conclusion, this was my first visit and I will definitely return to explore more of the menu. The restaurant has only minor flaws, and overall I would recommend it to others.”
