In a city celebrated for its cultural diversity and elevated dining scene, Miraas Restaurant has quickly established itself as a refined destination for Persian fine cuisine. With its first branch in West Vancouver and its recently opened location in downtown Vancouver, Miraas is bringing a fresh, modern energy to one of the world’s most ancient and flavour-rich culinary traditions.
The name Miraas, which means “heritage” in Farsi, reflects the deeper philosophy behind the restaurant. More than simply offering a fine dining experience, Miraas aims to share the essence of Persian heritage, culture, and hospitality with every guest. Each dish, flavour, and detail is thoughtfully designed to connect diners with the timeless traditions of Persia while presenting them through a modern and elegant lens.
Founded by Mohammad Salmani, Miraas is the result of years of hands-on experience in restaurant management, high-end catering and wedding planning. Drawing from professional experience across Iran, Dubai, and Canada, the concept blends the authenticity of Persian culinary traditions with the sophistication of international hospitality standards. Rooted in Iran’s rich culture of hospitality, Salmani’s vision was clear: to create a space where authenticity is preserved, quality is uncompromised, and the dining experience feels both luxurious and welcoming.

The Art of Persian Flavor
At Miraas, Persian cuisine is not simply served, it is thoughtfully elevated. From perfectly marinated and expertly grilled kebabs to fragrant saffron rice, slow-cooked stews, fresh herbs, and beautifully balanced appetizers, each dish reflects precision, tradition, and premium ingredients. The experienced chef team honours time-tested recipes while presenting them with contemporary finesse, ensuring every plate is as visually striking as it is flavourful.
An Atmosphere of Modern Elegance
The ambiance plays an equally important role in the Miraas experience. Both locations are designed with a modern aesthetic that blends warmth, elegance, and vibrant energy. Whether you are enjoying an intimate dinner, a lively evening with friends, or a business gathering, the atmosphere effortlessly balances sophistication with comfort.
Complementing the cuisine is a curated selection of unique liquors and cocktails, carefully chosen to enhance the richness of Persian flavours. The bar program adds a dynamic dimension to the restaurant, positioning Miraas not only as a dining destination but also as a stylish social hub in Vancouver.
Luxury Catering Beyond the Restaurant
Yet Miraas aims to be more than a restaurant. With its strong foundation in catering, the brand is expanding its identity as a premier high-end catering service. From private celebrations and weddings to corporate events and exclusive gatherings, Miraas brings the same attention to detail, culinary excellence, and polished service beyond its dining rooms. Each catered event is designed to deliver an elevated Persian culinary experience tailored to the occasion.
In a competitive hospitality landscape, Miraas stands out by staying true to its roots while embracing modern luxury. It is a place where tradition meets innovation, where flavour meets artistry, and where every visit feels intentional. For those seeking a refined Persian dining experience in Vancouver, Miraas is not just a meal. It is a statement of heritage, hospitality, and contemporary elegance.
