my lunch was subpar and tasted awful. When I mentioned my concern, I was offered a replacement meal…read morethat should have been a quarter of the cost of the original meal but was charged the full price of the original meal. I ended up paying $22 for one scrambled egg and 1/2 a piece of toast. The server was fantastic and showed concern; the manager did not care about ripping me off and should be ashamed of the replacement meal and what she charged. I WILL NOT be back and will not recommend this cafe to anyone.

Wowowow what a place! This may be the best vegan food I've ever had. As a vegetarian I occasionally…read moremiss certain meaty foods and Real Fake Meats did not disappoint. My husband and I shared the buffalo wings and I got the chicken Caesar wrap, both very flavorful and filling. We had been traveling all day so we needed a hearty meal. It's a small restaurant with a few tables for dine in. Staff was friendly and the menu is big. They have coffee too. Try it!!

I recently popped into RFM with some family to try it out for the first time and we were not…read moredisappointed! Their menu is fun and approachable, with the same sort of things that you'd see on many casual restaurant menus - burgers, fried chicken sandwiches, bowls and poutines - but done with their in-house vegan products. I'm not sure if their breakfast sandwich is just a weekend thing (it's not on the menu on their website), but I was keen to see what that was like. We posted up at a counter along the street-side windows to people watch, although there is a bit more seating further inside (you don't seem to see pics of it here or on Google, but there is more seating than for just four people!). My niece and nephew both got the donair. It was actually their first one ever, real meat or Real Fake, and they seemed quite happy! I appreciated the flavour profile and the crisp edges of RFM's facsimile of Nova Scotia's famous mystery meat. My wife went for the Curly Fries Supreme, which utilizes classic McCain curly fries. Getting the deep fryer treatment, they're *much* better than being done in an oven at home. All the more so when so generously topped with cheeze sauce, "sour cream", tomatoes, green onion and seitan "bacon". Banana peppers made an added appearance for a nice little punch. I very quite pleased with my breakfast sandwich (and side of au naturel curly fries). The vegan sausage patty had an herby hit to it, and the cheeze slice was ooey gooey and pleasantly salty. I'm not sure what the "egg" was, but it was a little on the soft side, with the white falling apart; I'm not sure if that's to do with its inherent structure or its cooking. A small quibble on a great sandwich though! I love what RFM is doing and they're doing a helluva job at it!

I also absolutely love their cashew cheesecakes - if you want a sweet treat, it's well worth seeing if they have slices in the case! We're also huge fans of their 'bonus' kitchen, Vegan Ghost Noodle. I think we've tried every menu item they make! I think my current favourite is the Cheeseburger noodle, but you honestly can't go wrong with any menu item, it's all delicious. Finally, I have to add that I love that they have a community support program, where you can pay for someone in need to have a meal, or a coffee, or soup. Such a great service to provide, and very much needed right now.

Fresh and hot empanadas with a variety of different fillings…read more The shop owner was nice and not overly friendly but the food was good and I liked the spicy chimichuri sauce on the side.

After several years of slinging their namesake savoury pastry at farmers markets in Halifax, The…read moreEmpanada Shop has opened up a brick and mortar! I first popped in on my way home from work, just happening to walk by on my way up Salter. Even my admittedly mild to barely-there hunger was enough to pique my curiosity enough to pull the trigger. And hey, waiting for Halifax Transit is a risky business and I don't want to starve! The warmer still had a few options in it (with further pre-made options in the display cooler) - beef, pork and veggie. I probably should have went for the beef to help restock my red blood cells after a recent blood donation, but pork always seems to call to me. Empanadas also come with a sauce , and I went for the spicy chimichurri. Like many savoury pastries, empanadas are made for being an on-the-go meal, and I'm sure other commuters at my bus stop were jealous! The pastry itself was lightly crispy, but it wasn't dried out from being in the warmer for too long. As for the filling, the mix of shredded pork, corn, onions and other veg made for a solid mini-meal. The empanada wasn't heavily seasoned, but the chimichurri made up for that. Nearly stealing the show completely, the deeply vegetal sauce had hints of spice and further richness from olive oil that I was absolutely loving! No joke, Empanada Shop should be selling this by the jar! A return visit, also post-work, saw me go for the beef empanada. Once again, the pastry was well-executed, with a supple flakiness that held up to its delicious contents without being tough or too thick and bready. The ground beef filling was rich and hearty, with additional traditional fillings of black olives, corn and hard-boiled egg. Once again the empanada was a vehicle for the fantastic chimichurri. When a mom and pop place like The Empanada Shop is making niche food as good as they are, you can only hope that they keep making a go of it, enriching the city (and my diet) with their wonderful wares.

It's larger than it was first time I visited, but still in the little strip mall off Chain Lake Drive. There are two rooms either side of the entrance, both cool, subtly lit and cozy. It was just after they opened on a summer's Thursday morning, so I was the first customer and quickly ordered the meat thali. This comes in six segments. Two meat curries which change from time to time (today it was beef and chicken). A very nice dahl, a good portion of rice, chickpea salad and a quartered plain naan. All very tasty and overall quite a sizeable portion. I was on the ravenous side of peckish when I arrived and left thoroughly stuffed, so you definitely get your value for the $23 with tip. It's not licensed, but has a nice line in cold drinks should you so desire. It's no surprise this place is consistently voted No.1 curry house in Halifax, though it has a lot more competition than it did when it first opened. Thoroughly recommended.

Anyway, the pakoras were ok. Butter chicken was very oily. Yes, oily, not butter oil, just oily. (Look at the picture). The best part of the meal is the rice. But even that's not good. It has a nice color to it though. Food is pretty mediocre. I'd come back for a quick takeout but i'd go to other places if I actually want a real, good indian food.

There was quinoa, kale, cabbage, avocado and all kinds of delicious fresh veggies in my burrito and lots of cilantro in the pico de gallo which I love. I recommend this place one million percent!
