Your trusty and respected HRM food reviewer here... Sir E cant say enough good things about Byblos!…read more So, I'll stick to what must be said: Byblos is a very nice, relaxing and clean establishment that boarders authentic fine dining. The waiter (whom E believes is also be the owner) is a fantastic host who is easy to get wrapped up in conversation with and has great wisdom. The food is by far the best Lebanese food in HRM and Byblos has a vast menu that E wants to try more of. Don't forget to have a couple glasses of the house red at a very reasonable price! E thought it was quite nice quite nice indeed. This restaurant is being overlooked with so many lunatics flocking to Mizu all you can eat right next door, and Sir E urges you all give Byblos a try!

Me and Mezza have a love affair going on, for many reasons…read more Firstly, I love their vegan options. Mezza is what made me love falafel. And I just can't get enough of theirs. Pickled turnips are out of this world! Secondly, it is one of the more affordable vegan options in the city. The portions are huge and the price is right. Up next, they are an expanding franchise which mean more vegan options everywhere they go. Tantallon is a fantastic example. I have gotten great service both times I have been to this location. The quality of food is fantastic and I love the clean and comfortable feel of this location. Gimme all the falafel!

Absolutely dismal amount of chicken on the chicken shawarmas. Barely more than two bites of chicken…read moreIn the wrap. It's a complete rip off. They are trying to save money on giving too much chicken so they weight it in front of you and will take off chicken out of your wrap. not sure what the 'weight' is but it is absolutely not worth the price. More so getting a veggie wrap with a bit of chicken. Completely overpriced and would not recommend.

I came around lunch time and got a Chicken Shwarma plate with rice for about ~$12 taxes in. I…read morethought it was a pretty good deal considering I could probably get 2 decent sized meals out of it. I like how the garlic sauce comes on the side, because some places put too much garlic sauce on the chicken shwarma, or the taste of the garlic can be overwhelming (which wouldn't be good to go back to work to!) I was a bit upset that they didn't have baba ganoush. In fact, the workers had no idea what I was talking about :( Also it would have been nice if they warmed up the pita. Maybe I'm just used to different standards. However, I do like how the food comes in a reusable container (likely not BPA-free so as long as you aren't microwaving your leftovers, it should be fine!) Overall, I'd come back again due to the lack of Lebanese food options in Halifax.

The place is a bit bigger than a typical pizza place with seating for about twelve. Decor is mixed, some attempt to look traditional on one end, and store soda flats at the other. But you're not likely coming here for the ambience. I had the chicken shawarma plate which was really good and very reasonably priced. Lots of chicken, hummus, salad, pickled beets and rice. Doesn't seem like they offer table service but the counter experience was fine. Friendly and professional, my order was ready in a reasonable time. They also offer an ice cream stand, could drop in when it's too hot for falafel! Definitely will return.

Ray's is a great alternative to greasy take-out food…read more You walk in and order at the counter. Most of the food is on the other side of the sneeze guard, so you can see what it is in case it's new to you. Then you pay at the other end of the counter next to the drink fridges. They have cafeteria style trays to load up and carry your food to the table of your choice. You also grab your own napkins, etc. Ray's has some gluten-free options if you need them. A great spot to grab delicious shawarma and perfect for grabbing food while you're out shopping or running errands in Bayers Lake!

EPIC FAIL I used to love the original Rays food, but this…read morelocation has been getting worse & worse. Even when it opened the food was bland, but it keeps going downhill. The food is now completely lacking in distinctive Lebanese flavours, like they've either cut corners everywhere or the owner (nope, not a chef) has the palette of a camel. . I ordered chicken Shwarma, and my friend had chicken kebab. The meat was so dry it was hard - he LITERALLY couldn't get his teeth through it. My chicken was only a bit better - chewable, but bland and grossly overcooked. I took the kebab back to my terrier. Even he had to chew it hard on his back teeth, then he coughed and looked for water. TRUE STORY! The rice & lentils were mostly just rice, with no hint of the signature browned onions. It was served with some other pretty tasteless yellowish rice, so half my plate ended up being boring rice. The almost grey cabbage was too soft and had no added flavour. The potatoes had become soggy victims of the steam table and lost whatever browned taste they might ever have had. The hummus was wet and over processed. It lacked both taste & texture, and neither it nor the garlic sauce seemed to have ever met garlic. There seemed to be no lemon in ANY of it. Even the Tabouleh just tasted like soggy old parsley. My food was $20, and his was $22. We didn't buy the Baklava. The pastry looked stale, and it there wasn't enough honey (or syrup) to keep it tender or hold it all together. Not sure about the nuts, either. They looked pale the (ahem) peanuts-like. Baklava just shouldn't be made like that. I will never go back and was sad for my friend's failed introduction to Lebanese food. May you rest in peace, old Mrs Ray. I'm so sorry your recipes are also as tasteless as the grave.
