Restaurants in Halifax

“I would gladly fight a larger-than-average house cat if it came between me and the seared scallops. Five stars for the citrus and butter sauce alone.”

“If I could give a restaurant a rating of 10/5 stars, Mappatura in Halifax would get them all.

Half way between The Lord Nelson Hotel and Dalhousie University, I've walked by it a few times this week and it smelled amazing. Tonight I stopped. I am sooooo happy I did.

The vibe of this neighborhood Italian restaurant just makes you want to hang out there forever. It looks like a cafe Bistro but the service, and menu are upscale all the way.

I had warm olives with citrus zest and chilis... I'll never eat them any way again.

Thick cut fresh pasta tortelloni stuffed with goat cheese and mushrooms in a vermouth thyme sauce with balsamic? Orgasmic!

Yes it rhymes but when it comes to food? True.

It's not the waterfront, it's not lobster or chowder but if you're in Halifax, you need to try this place!

If I lived here, I'd be there every week.

Tomorrow I think I need to try the mussels. And maybe the spaghetti. Tiramisu?

I need to eat all the food. And the service? Top notch from start to finish. Olives to espresso.

10/5 stars, highly recommended.

“We had excellent service on Canada Day 2024 with our friendly waitress Pal. She was very helpful and kept checking on our party of 12 ages from 3 to 80, to make sure everyone had what they wanted. She put treats on the Robot and had the children go get their treats off the tray on it, which was a highlight for them. We could tell she enjoys waitressing because she does it to perfection. The food was delicious and plated appetizingly, too!”

“The food was outstanding. I focused on local items where possible. Oysters, that I eat with no trimmings, were fresh and tasty and perfect with Lightfoot and Wolfville sparkling rose.
Staff were efficient and friendly, most importantly, non-intrusive; reading the customer (me) perfectly. A great place to eat. Would thoroughly recommend whether you are local or a visitor. Well done you!”

“My hubby and I have eaten breakfast at your restaurant two different times and both times enjoyed it very much. However, I have a question. As you go through the door u see the sign Canadian Owned and also Truly Canadian. Then why are you not using French's catsup instead of Heinz. In our home we use only French's and it is Canadian. Thank you!!.”

“The food at this restaurant was absolutley delicious. The server we had was gregarious, friendly, polite and knew excatly when to come by and when to leave us alone. The only set back was the crowed nature of the restaurant. The popularity of the place ment that you had to skilled at reading lips in order to communicate with your table mates.”

Our mains were the Tuscan Atlantic Salmon and Seafood Risotto. Both were excellent and Lindsay suggested the perfect wine pairing. This was by far one of the best dining experiences we have had!”

“Best chai latte I ever had”

“Favourite restaurant in Halifax. Consistently exquisite meals and incredible service!”

“Jason was a great server and his recommendations were perfect.”

“Had an absolutely incredible meal at Au Liban in Halifax! Every single dish was fresh, flavourful, and beautifully presented — from the tabbouleh and hummus to the grilled halloumi and sujuk in pomegranate sauce. The warm pita was nonstop and perfect with everything. Amazing food, great service, and such a welcoming vibe. A masterclass from their culinary team. Can’t wait to go back!”

We really enjoyed the house made dips and brussels sprouts were really tasty as a starter.”

“Excellent food, location and service”

“I’m selling 4 Lil Tecca Tickets for tonight show October 15th at Marquee Theatre - Tempe, AZ. If anyone interested in buying please send me a message ASAP unfortunately we cannot attend anymore. Willing to transfer them via Ticketmaster”

“Stop letting all the muscle cars park outside your store till 10pm or later. They all rip out of your drive way and down the highway making so much noise waking up the neighborhood and driving irrationally. I assume the Tims owner is a car guy. But this needs to stop and complaints have been sent to corporate.”

“The staff here is fabulous, there is one team member Anju, that works here and every morning she makes me smile, and starts my day off great. She is always smiling and wishes me a good day or weekend! Thanks for making my day start off bright!! The food is always fresh and well presented. This is the absolute best Tim's ever.”

“I had a fantastic visit to the McDonald's on Chain Lake Drive, thanks to Chanel.

She didn't just take my order—she really helped me choose the perfect menu items and made the whole experience genuinely pleasant.

Big kudos to her!”

“Great experience at this Subway—clean, quick, and well-made food. The staff were all friendly, especially Odyssa, who was kind, patient, and made everything perfect. I’ll definitely be back!”

“The staff tonight were so lovely when I mistakenly knocked over my entire coffee I had just sat down with 😭 I started to clean it up myself and a staff member ran over with the mop and told me not to worry about it. When I started to clean up the table another staff brought me a whole new fresh coffee!! I can’t thank you enough for your kindness to what was already and awful day.”

“and of course their coffee... yummy..”

“Imagine being hungry and frustrated since the morning and meeting an awesome person cz of the same. I went to Mcd today and Div helped me order my regular, McMuffin as a combo. I got the wrong order which made me even more hangry. With extreme frustration I went to that girl again, and god i was amazed with how kind she was to my rudeness. She apologized, fixed my order instantly and had a good conversation with me. Having told her about my day she was greatly empathetic to my situation and was extremely nice to talk to. I ate my corrected order and felt so nice to have met her. Left Mcd with a satisfied hunger and soul. Much thanks to that lil sweetheart. Thanks Div, i hope you are well appreciated for all you do and did for me.”

“I've always been the kind of girl
That hid my face
So afraid to tell the world
What I've got to say
But I have this dream
Right inside of me
I'm gonna let it show, it's time
To let you know
To let you know
This is real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be, now
Gonna let the light shine on me
Now I've found who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is me
Do you know what it's like
To feel so in the dark?
To dream about a life
Where you're the shining star?
Even though it seems
Like it's too far away
I have to believe in myself
It's the only way
This is real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be, now
Gonna let the light shine on me
Now I've found who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is me
You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singing
I need to find you, I gotta find you
You're the missing piece I need
The song inside of me
I need to find you, I gotta find you
This is real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be, now
Gonna let the light shine on me
Now I've found who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be, yeah
This is me
You're the missing piece I need
The song inside of me
(This is me, yeah) You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singing
Now I've found who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be

My order was fresh and perfectly on time as i order homestyle breakfast - their team work and cordination was good to see . Good job girls .”

“I stop here most mornings before work. Quality people - energy is tangible and they glide through (seemingly) effortlessly even when slammed. Appreciate them.”

“We went for Mother’s Day brunch today, it was so good!!! The service was amazing and the food was absolutely delicious! We are already planning our next visit. Thanks for the great experience 😊”

“amazing! came back twice while here on business”

“Love the Stubborn Goat. Have been there for drinks and on our recent trip to Halifax, we ate there as well. Great food, drinks, people and atmosphere. Will definitely make it a “go to” when we are in Halifax. Maggie our bartender was amazing!”

“Mozza sticks as big as your dinner fork & crustless cheesecake whipped to perfection - a true 10/10 !”

“We ordered empanadas, arepas and black beans for lunch. Everything was extremely delicious. Try the cheese and pork empanadas, and the pork arepas with extra cheese. wow!”

“Espresso 46 is the best espresso bar in the province. Every drink is made with love and consistency and the staff treats their customers like family.”

“The staff were very friendly and attentive. The meat was fresh and flavorful, and the side dishes were excellent. We will definitely come back.Great Korean BBQ experience.”

“Me and my Daughter and my Grandson were in for breakfast this morning we all had steak and eggs it was absolutely delicious. keep up the great work, highly recommended.”

“We tried Chicking tonight after hearing others rave about it, we were not disappointed! The chicken was AMAZING and the king sauce super delicious! We will absolutely be back!”

“A friend and I came here when she was in town, and since she’s egg and lactose intolerant, we were looking for a great vegan option. She recommended this place, and I have to say - I was blown away by the food.

The space itself is quite small, with only a few seats available, but it adds to the cozy feel. We went during Burger Week and tried their featured burger, which was absolutely delicious. I paired mine with the kale Caesar salad, and it was honestly one of the best Caesar salads I’ve had in a while.

Our server was very friendly and added to the overall great experience.

If you’re looking for a vegetarian or vegan restaurant, this is definitely the place to go!”

“As someone who travels for work and has celiac disease I am always on the lookout for a new spot with lots of different options that are gluten free. I was absolutely tickled to find easy street diner in Halifax today while down in Nova Scotia for work. they had the most extensive gluten free menu I've ever seen. They had delicious gluten free onion rings, crispy, light, just the right amount of seasoning. they were divine. They also even had things like chicken and waffles that were gluten free!! 😲😲😲 needless to say anytime I'm working in Halifax again, I will be trying more delicious food in this cute, trendy, a la 60s Jetsons-cartoon-style diner!”

“Such an amazing place, vibe, coffee and food! If you’re looking for a happy place that sets your mood for the day, this is it! ❤️👌🏻 I will definitely be back! 5 stars!”

“Our server was very helpful with directions about Halifax. She was not put out at all and seemed genuinely kind. She was prompt and attentive. The chicken wings were tasty, the margarita was far to sour, in my oppion. Very much an irish pub menu.”

“One of the last small family-run old fashion diners left. The burgers are to die for!
The mom and dad cook and the two sons serve customers.
There plenty of parking across the street in the Forum parking lot. You just have to enter your plate number when you enter so you don't get a ticket. A favorite among those who know....”

“Yesterday we had the privilege of eating at The Narrows Halofax, Nova Scotia's #1 Public House and number #12 in Canada. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere and personable host made us feel like we were home! All of the waitresses were incredible and ours went over and above to make us happy and we truly had the best time. The food was to die for, they have a fantastic menu with a bit of everything on it. 100% highly recommend we will be back 🥰”

“Amazing spot for drinks and food!!”

“We ate at Bar Kismet several weeks ago now and I’m still thinking about it. Other than a very memorable meal, the cocktails were impressive and delightful too.
Looking forward to our next meal there!”

“Good vibe here.
I enjoy sitting by the window with the sunlight. Highly recommend the Stout & Honey Braised Lamb Shank. The meat is super tender and falls right off the bone. Very flavorful. Definitely coming back for drinks next time.”

“I hired Tareks for catering on this week and OH MY GOODNESS! Fantastic as always; Incredibly fresh, flavourful and so easy! I told him how many people and he gave suggestions and was the least stressful catering order I have ever placed. It arrived hot and fresh and perfectly on time. So much food we all had a second plate and still had leftovers at the end. Highly recommend Tareks for any time lunches, dinners or catering. Has to be one of the best in the city, not one complaint from my group of 15 people! He even called afterwards to check in that everything was received - absolutely amazing service! Hasn’t changed over the years the quality never diminished just always a huge hit, everytime. Thank you Tareks, top notch as always - much love from Lisa at the Abbie. ❤️”

“Nice place to relax, great food and pastries. Great customer service! Kids friendly. Dog friendly. Must try anything with Ube.”

“Our family dined at this fabulous restaurant a number of times and what a truly amazing experience it was. The food, the atmosphere, the service was excellent. They treat every customer as special. We definitely will be back to enjoy their wonderful food. We order online as well, prompt delivery - awesome.”

“Amazing breakfast sandwich!”

“Among the better coffee spots in Halifax. Cappuccino was perfect and the sesame peanut butter cookie is a must have with coffee here. Not much seating here if you want a sit down coffee experience but it’s a good to go place for lunch break or to take to public gardens on a nice day”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ !! The Prospect Road location is going to be such a well loved location - so much so that, I don’t think the staff realized how much of the community would flock there. They’re BUSY, and out of ingredients, but the staff there were HUSTLING around, smiling and getting orders out that they could. I expect delays at the beginning. They never expected so much traffic, give them patience folks and expect a mess up in your order possibly or wait until they are fully loaded and in the flow with the area. Otherwise incredible sub (despite picking off a couple things I didn’t ask for), the bread was amazing, still 10/10 would go back, and didn’t even care it was chaotic. Inside though although small, its essentially a novelty convenience store with local goodies. They have a little bakery section with homemade stuff, the moon mist fudge was incredible and a must try! They also had a bunch of “Jones Soda” flavours that I’ve never seen before anywhere around here - even at the big candy stores, (like s’mores and the fallout edition one) which was pretty cool!! They still have ice cream and everything that was at multi scoop - just with a lot more options and delicious fresh options to go. Something for ANYONE at a really reasonable price. Prospect needed this so much - thank you, and good luck with your continued success! 🎉♥️”

“Best breakfast sandwich off the charts excellent service coffee is always perfect. Soup is always guaranteed healthy. Non-dairy completely tasty. It’s a place you can trust. The baked goods are deadly. Really good place!!”

“Just had an early dinner with a friend here, and it was AMAZING! My first time eating fresh sushi in a restaurant (only previous experience was eating California rolls from a supermarket), and it was a thoroughly pleasurable meal. Fast/friendly service, delicious food…they even included an extra platter of sushi on the house! Highly recommend!!”

“This is the best ramen shop in the province! We’ve been to every one we can find, and these guys take the cake! We drive all the way over from Eastern Passage, more often then I’d like to admit, just to get a bowl! We’ve been doing this since 2016 :) Try the Hokkaido ramen! Extra spicy if you can handle it ;)”

“The other people on here are right about the Tonkotsu Ramen. This probably exceeds most ramen-only shops. I don't usually drink the soup but I find myself almost polishing it off. It's light but filled with umami flavor and the grilled pork is amazing too. They didn't take any shortcuts with the onsen egg too, it has the shoyu flavor it's supposed to and just slightly underdone. The atmosphere is chill and homely and service is quick. You can leave in 15-20 minutes or stay for however long. Definitely coming back and trying other stuff on the menu!”

“Stopped in with hubby and the doggies for lunch. Was thrilled we could have the dogs with us at the table on the patio and that there were water bowls provided. Service was a little slow and unfortunately our order got lost and it took a while to get our food. Kitchen tried to rush the meal to make up for the delay and our spinach dip was still cold in the middle. Overall the food was good and I would return to try the food again.”

“Meilleur steak et service en ville, je vous le conseille fortement 😍”

“What an enjoyable experience. Staff were attentive but not hovering. Food was delicious. Portions were so generous that neither my dining partner nor I could finish our lunch.”

“Stopped in with a group of 5 friends on a saturday night after a neighbouring restaurant told us they double booked our table and we had to leave sooner than planned. The staff were amazing and managed to fit us in right away. Had some lovely cocktails and even a special made mocktail for a friend who doesnt drink with no judgement which was much appreciated. Despite being a group of younger ladies we were treated with the same resepct and attention as some of the more mature clientele which is not always the case in Halifax so thank you to all the staff for turning our night around!! Also the desserts are amazing - highly recommend if you are in the area.”

“Drift just launched a new menu. If you thought it was good before, they somehow topped it. Their staff were so attentive to my onion and garlic allergy. Wonderful experience. Thank you drift staff!”

“Lunch time for our last meal before heading back to Edmonton. Excellent food! My husband Paul was wowed by his steak sandwich, and I thoroughly enjoyed my calamari and mussels. Great food and fantastic service.”

“I work in the beauty industry and was looking for a Nespresso machine for my workspace. Divine was incredibly helpful in guiding me through all the options and helping me find the perfect machine for my needs.
He was very kind, patient, and answered all of my questions. He even made me a delicious, aromatic cup of coffee while explaining the different choices available. Divine recommended the best promotion and package for my situation, which I really appreciated.
He is highly professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely pleasant to talk to. Thank you so much, Divine, for the outstanding service and for making my day brighter! I highly recommend visiting this boutique and asking for Divine!!!!”

“The service was super fast and friendly, and the food was delicious at an extremely fair price, even with alcoholic beverages. The brisket and shrimp spring rolls served with peanut sauce were so fresh and tasty - highly recommend this new menu item! The shrimp vermicelli bowl served with fish sauce was absolutely delightful, and my husband had a dish with pork, rice, vegetables with a fried egg on top served with a sweet sauce. He loved his meal! If you're into spicy drinks, try the tamarind margarita - it has a real kick and is so good! Great restaurant - can't wait to return! :)”

“Yum! Macha! yum! Very delicious drinks and deserts. And chill atmosphere where you can watch people walk by.

Edit: we came back years later and now they sell delicious food! So good. Thanks!”

“all the foods here is great”

“Loved my visit
Went yesterday, and even with the crowd, the staff was quick and efficient. Absolutely delicious. Service and quality both were perfect. Highly recommend! I like the way of talking with me in the rush time and very polite nature that guys who is serving the item.”

“Great service. Good coffee and food.”

“Amazing food and service - we will definitely come back!”

“Friendly staff and delicious drinks/food. Very glad it's so close to my workplace so that I can walk over every day that I'm in office 🙂”

“First visit. Had breakfast sandwich and coffee. Both AMAZING!!”

“By far the best sushi in Halifax! The employees are all very friendly and polite, service is quick, location is very clean, prices are great and the food is delicious - highly recommend! All the stars and thumbs up for Tokyo Roll Halifax 💕”

“We had the pleasure of eating at Bird’s Nest today, Chicken Club Sandwiches (and we have our usual cup of coffee everyday there too) The food is outstanding, based on fresh seasonal ingredients clearly put together by a chef that has a true passion for food! The service was fantastic as always, and their staff is so friendly, and they know our usual orders by now. Really recommend this Café to anyone - family, couples and business lunches, Bird’s Nest Cafe make everyone feel a part of them. Thank you Beatrix (Bonni) and Morne’ Botha”

“I wish I had a picture of the milkshake I ordered. It was literally the best milkshake I’ve ever had, and I’m over 40 years old so that means something. I’ll be going back, maybe just before I see a movie. 👏”

“Good price and good tastes. I liked all dishes that I choosed. Staff are very kind and nice.”

“great food and best prices in halifax”

“If you're craving authentic Indian flavors, The Adda Indian Eatery is a delightful spot that doesn’t disappoint. We tried their chole bhature and a cup of chai, and both were a hit. The chole was rich, well-spiced, and perfectly balanced—not overly oily, which is often the case elsewhere. The bhature came out hot and fluffy, with just the right amount of crisp on the outside and softness inside. It’s the kind of comfort food that makes you feel right at home. To top it off, their **tea** was just as impressive—brewed strong with aromatic spices, slightly sweet, and served piping hot. It paired beautifully with the meal and rounded off the experience nicely. The ambiance was cozy with a casual, homely vibe, and the staff were friendly and attentive. If you're in the mood for a hearty, flavorful Indian meal, The Adda is definitely worth a visit. 👍👍❤️❤️❤️”

“Such a great family spot. We had kids and dogs and all were welcome.”

“Euro pizza is our go too take out restaurant, this evening we had large donair and a cheese pizza and although we have had donair before this evening they were exceptionally good, lots of meat and delicious sauce and toppings and my grandson said the cheese pizza was the best he has ever had. Pleas keep up the great work”

“Our server was very helpful with directions about Halifax. She was not put out at all and seemed genuinely kind. She was prompt and attentive. The chicken wings were tasty, the margarita was far to sour, in my oppion. Very much an irish pub menu.”

“Food was great as usual. Service was excellent. Our server, Jenna, was so pleasant, knowledgable and attentive. The food came out quickly, even quicker than a Tim Horton's drive-thru or in-house at any "fast food" restaurant. Very impressed.”

“My first stop in the morning for my large tea 1 milk 1 sugar and am always greeted with friendly faces Always starts my day off on the right foot :)”

“Absolutely excellent!! Lovely staff and a lovely owner as well. It's not very attractive inside, so I would hesitate to bring friends - because atmosphere matters to me...”

“I had a piece of birthday cake from Susie's it was my sons girlfriends birthday she brought us a few slices of Vanilla with buttercream icing it was to die for so sweet and delicious. I have to say I was impressed I generally go for Chocolate but I have to say I would order it myself. Can't wait to stop by and try the peanut butter Cup cupcake looks so yummy!!!”

“Hey guys... Remember when we used to get Donairs as a kid that were so awesome? These guys sell it! It's the exact same thing. Absolutely amazing. We only order from these guys now in Halifax because they never let us down. Always the same consistent awesome food.”

“This food is amazing. The service is friendly and helpful. They serve you enough food. Shrink-flation doesn't seem to have diminished their portions. I just ate nachos and they were saturated with fresh vegetables. I feel nourished. 10/10 folks.”

“Bought steak and kidney and lamb and mint pies. Followed the heating instructions Both were delicious”

“First impression was clean storefront and counter area. Staff were fantastic, willing to go the extra mile in customer service and the food was SO good! Unable to tip on the debit machine so this is my way of saying "thank you" for the great experience and I'll be back.”

“Best breakfast sandwich off the charts excellent service coffee is always perfect. Soup is always guaranteed healthy. Non-dairy completely tasty. It’s a place you can trust. The baked goods are deadly. Really good place!!”

“Nice place to relax, great food and pastries. Great customer service! Kids friendly. Dog friendly. Must try anything with Ube.”

“We arrived a bit after 4pm. Waited to be seated by a friendly hostess. The service was good all did I have a bit difficulty understanding what was said. The food was very good and fast. The bourbon burger tasted good. The only thing I would like to say is that we found the restaurant very cold. We were seated next to the kitchen and we could feel a cold draft. We told the server and she said she would ask the manager. Of course we didn’t stay long enough to feel the difference so I hope for the other guests it got warmer. We thought the price for one burger with fries was a bit on the high side. But we ate there on a Wednesday night so received the second (same) meal half price.”

“Me and my wife used to come here almost every weekend and they had a great DJ named VASSA in who was always there and would really make the atmosphere feel magical. I am not sure what happened to her but it sure would be awesome to see her at Sofia again.

Service can be slow but food and drinks are great.”

“Went here for the first time while visiting my best friend who lives in the area. We had the Smoke Stack which was pretty tasty. The pizza was delicious!

Our waitress Jessica was in training and was lovely. We were headed to the party boat and had asked if there was anyway we could have them store our little take out container for us until we returned and she was able to do so. We didnt mind it being kept at room temp. When we came back, she saw us come in and helped us get our food.”

“Wow so so impressed! My dinner was amazing!!! There was a small issue with my butter for my lobster and it was replaced immediately and my dinner was taken off my bill! I didn’t ask for any discount it was just automatically done on the bill! Unexpected and surprised! Thank you will highly recommend!!staff were lovely! Great job keg Halifax downtown!! Signed Tina from Ottawa”

“Incredible delectable food I love the place great great environment. The Donair was oozing with sauce and oozing with flavor. I really enjoyed how they packed it full of shave beef. 10 out of 10 would absolutely recommend bring your girlfriend there cause she also loves it.”

“11/10. Absolutely phenomenal experience. They are SO patient and SO experienced. Nothing is out of the question as they can make anything possible. Your booking includes set-up and tear down by the staff, HUGE win. The staff were all so lovely and helpful. And obviously the space is GORGEOUS; very little decorations are even needed in the romantic moody room. We did our ceremony on the roof and it was SO special. Food incredible. We did a standing cocktail dinner and we had more than enough and continue to received compliments over the menu. This is SUCH an awesome spot!”

“great spot for cocktails.”

“Nice food, prices on par with other food places at uni but the quality and quantity is waaaay more worth it! The staff are very nice too! say hello to them when you swing by :D”

“Exceptional food and ambiance will definitely return.👌”

“I could not be more thankful for the staff at the lower deck. While shooting an event, my bag was stolen and not only did the event coordinator help me sort things out on the camera, but Mike the bouncer actually FOUND my backpack AND all of my gear (minus bank cards) in a nearby lot!! I could not be more grateful for the AMAZING staff who not only kept me calm, but no joke, FOUND ALL OF MY GEAR AND SAVED THE DAY!!! Mike, Steph, and Laura seriously deserve an award for how above and beyond they went last night. 10/10, thank you does not say enough”

“Great food”

“First impression was clean storefront and counter area. Staff were fantastic, willing to go the extra mile in customer service and the food was SO good! Unable to tip on the debit machine so this is my way of saying "thank you" for the great experience and I'll be back.”

“Our fave cafe in Halifax—we keep coming back!

Tried capturing it a little differently this time. We always go for their sandwiches (the menu changes, but everything is consistently delicious).

Highly recommend pairing it with an iced strawberry matcha or a caramel latte (iced or hot). The hojicha was new on the menu too, and it did not disappoint!”

“Went in not knowing it was plant based. I typically don’t like oat milk but it was the best oat latte I’ve had!! The donuts are literally to die for. However, staff weren’t extremely friendly and every time I’ve gone they have been very impatient and short (and it wasn’t even busy or anything).”

“if you order one thing, get the pulled pork slider. So tender, soft, and flavourful. The jackfruit was good, and we were given a very appreciated warning about how spicy the chicken slider was going to be. AND OH BOY WAS IT SPICY! 6 napkins later, left with a tear streaming down Perry’s face.
Would go back! And the drinks are strong 💪”

“Nice clean cosy feeling restaurant with friendly attentive staff. Dosa, curry, rice and naan were carefully presented and very tasty, mango lassi was especially tasty. Highly recommend.”

“Recently ate at Mystic for the first time with my sister who needs full gluten free. The food, presentation, decor and the overall experience was incredible with each plate beautifully and perfectly executed, both her modified gluten free and my own short menu experience! Well deserving of the recent accolades!”

“Delicious! Had a veggie burrito with refried beans, mushrooms, rice, guacamole, etc - sooo good. And fast! Dartmouth location.”

“I eat a lot of shawarma all over the city. I’m no expert but I know what I like and city shawarma is the best in Halifax and area. I always have the Syrian chicken so that’s all I can speak to but it is 10/10 every time. Never dry. Great flavour. Wrap thin and crispy. Good garlic sauce. Love these guys and love having them in my neighbourhood. Hope they’re here for a very very long time.”

“❤ Great place for coffee and treats!”

““Great experience at Osmow’s today! The food was fresh, flavorful, and served quickly. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and the portions were generous. Special thanks to RAJ and PAYAL for the friendly service and making sure everything was perfect. Really appreciated the hospitality. Will definitely be coming back again!” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“Got a gift card for Christmas and went to the Halifax branch to claim, the figured the card was legit but wasn't being accepted by the system the staff was very gracious and gave us the pizza for free as it wasn't on us that the system wasn't working, kudos and thanks for great service, pizza was also very good.”

“Two matcha in the afternoon before a storm. They were very kind while serving us, and the drinks are exceptional! The space is understandably busy but a table for two isn’t hard to find.”

“So many unique pastries and great coffee.”

“Loved everything about this place! Hosted a group of 12 here and they were super patient and kind. The food was amazing and the drinks were on point. They made my night very special 🥰 Will return 😊”

“Finally got to try one of these subs and it did not disappoint. Great size, fresh toppings will be back!”

“Lovely location! Staff are always so friendly and welcoming!”
