Taste of Splendour began in 1991, when Nazir and Anissa Habib — immigrants from Tanzania — opened their cafe in Vancouver with a simple dream: build community through food. What started on Howe Street has grown into a beloved Burnaby destination known for warmth, flavour, and genuine hospitality.

On October 11, 2024, Chef Suresh Chakma proudly took over the next chapter of that legacy.

With over 18 years of professional culinary experience — including roles at St. Regis Bar and Grill and The Flying Pig— Suresh brings fine-dining discipline, creativity, and leadership into a welcoming, community-driven café environment.

His philosophy is simple: service first.

From our famous Butter Chicken to handcrafted paninis, house chips, daily features, and fully customized catering spreads, every dish is prepared with care, consistency, and intention. Whether you’re joining us for lunch or hosting a large event, our goal is to make your experience seamless, stress-free, and memorable.

More than just a café, Taste of Splendour stands for culture, connection, and community — a place where guests feel seen, valued, and eager to return.
Because to us, splendour isn’t just in the food. It’s in how you’re treated.
