Tarek's Cafe 2
Middle Eastern restaurant
👍👍 The soup had a very authentic and familiar taste. It took me back to my playing days in Turkey and Syria. Well, my tastebuds were on point because the soup is from Syria - and the rest of the food is from heaven. Options include but are not limited to beef, chicken, shrimp, clamari (my personal fav...

👍👍 The service was super friendly and nice. My food was cooked fresh to order and it was absolutely delicious! I ordered the chili dakgang-jeong. The portion was fairly large.

Anemone Dining
Restaurant
👍👍 We were blown away. To say this is an understatement. My husband and I booked Anemone for our wedding. We were looking for something that would be elegant yet relaxed but with an elevated food experience. We were so lucky to have found Anemone. Right from the start, Chef Dany and her staff were ex...

Tokyo Roll
Japanese restaurant
👍👍 I read this was the best sushi place in Halifax and I wasn’t disappointed! Got a sushi bento, dragon roll and eel roll and it was a good portion for 2 people - and at a very affordable price too (~$30)! The rice was well seasoned and had a good texture. The tempura in the rolls was also deliciously...

👍👍 Had a wonderful experience here -the food was authentic and incredible. I appreciated how the focus was on the utmost quality and not quantity. The presentations were stunning.

ALLANO'S CATERING SERVICES
Filipino restaurant
👍👍 Authentic filipino food. Friendly service. We ate in and the atmosphere was comfortable and familiar; it felt like we were over at friendly neighbour’s rather than a simple restaurant. I ordered the grilled pork belly and my partner ordered the pork sisig. Both came quickly and were so yummy. Tip: A...

HallyCraft The Búkà
West African restaurant
👍👍 Wonderfully different for a native Haligonian. The smoked jolof is to die for. The complex flavour stays on your mind until your next visit. The food has a very authentic, rustic feel that reminds you of cooking outdoors on an open fire. Enough spicy heat without it being overpowering. I keep meanin...

👍👍 The food here is DELICIOUS!!!!! My favourite was the lamb samosa BUT the key is dipping it in their tamarind sauce ... The two flavour profiles perfectly compliment each other. Also, the owners are incredibly nice Highly recommend eating here

👍👍 Well, let me tell you something about this friendly little pizza shop. It's not often I find myself in places like this, but when I do, I expect simplicity and authenticity to shine through. And let me tell you, this place does just that. First, let's talk about the dough. It's the heart and soul o...
