Chilliwack Kabab

Restaurants in Chilliwack sit in three or four separate pockets that do not join up, which is the awkward part of eating out here. Downtown has the highest concentration, in the blocks around Five Corners and at District 1881 on the old Chilliwack Cattle Sales site, which brought in a run of newer kitchens. Vedder Road through Sardis and Vedder has the greatest number overall, though most of those sit in strip plazas and are easy to drive straight past. Out in Yarrow and Rosedale a handful of places have outlasted several owners. Chains are excluded from these pages, so everything on them is local, and the absence of familiar signage is a policy rather than an oversight.

Both a phone number and a website are published, which is more complete than most businesses get here. The website is the place to look for anything current: what is served, when the room is open, whether there is delivery or a counter for pickup. None of that is recorded here and none of it should be guessed at from a distance. No street address is given either, though the postal code will get a map close, and downtown blocks are short enough that close is usually sufficient.
