The establishment looks unfinished and there is no cohesive atmosphere. The service was mediocre as my husband waited 20 minutes for a beer and sauce even though they weren't busy.

We started with the garlic fingers as an appetizer, which were tasty and hit the spot. For drinks, we kept it simple with water, Pepsi, and iced tea--no complaints there. Service was efficient; our food arrived in a reasonable time without any delays. My husband went for the daily special: ribs, shrimp, potatoes, and coleslaw. The ribs were the standout--tender and flavorful. The potatoes were good too, though the gravy was pretty bland and could use more seasoning. Unfortunately, the shrimp fell flat; they were a bit rubbery and lacked any real taste. I opted for the pan-fried haddock, which was well-cooked and enjoyable. The restaurant itself was clean and well-maintained, which we appreciated. For dessert, we shared the peanut butter chocolate mousse. It was good overall--rich and chocolatey--but it didn't really deliver on the peanut butter flavor, which was disappointing since that's what drew us to it. The waitress was very nice and did a great job. All in all, it's a reliable spot with some hits and misses. We'd probably return if we're in the area, but we'd skip the shrimp next time!

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.

There was a young man manning the counter and he also was a server. He was polite and helpful. We really enjoyed the food! I am from Philadelphia, and we go crazy over a Lebanese restaurant, Saad's (esp in West Philly). I am going to say something that will get me attacked. This Maple Cedar exceeded Saad's! The flavour was spot on, nothing was greasy, everything tasted fresh. If I lived here I would probably eat here often.

When my wife and I found ourselves looking for a quick dinner on early on in the week when fewer restos are open, we made our way over to Maple Cedar. Having come from Ottawa, which in addition to being the national capital of the country is also the shawarma capital, it was a bit weird how few shawarma places there are in the area. The menu leans in a mostly traditional Middle Eastern direction, although they do have pizza, donairs and garlic fingers too. We went with the shawarma ($15) and falafel platters ($15) for dine-in. It was nice to see a flow of customers, despite it being a Tuesday, and our food was in front of us in good time. My shawarma platter had thick pieces of chicken on top of a bed of savoury rice. I would have liked to see a mix of white and dark meat and some crispy bits, but it still had a nice, rich flavour and was moist and tender. Of note, the garlic sauce had more of a aioli-like texture than toum normally does. It tasted fine, but this would anger Lebanese friends of mine. The falafel platter had a generous serving of eight of the crispy chickpea fritters. The platter's composition made it a sort of build-your-own wrap, with sides of tomato, shredded romaine, pickled turnip and tahini with pita. We found the tahini a bit bland, but the falafel were spot on and not at all greasy. A container of baklava ($10) that we took home was flaky, savoury and sweet, and had the most noticeable flavour of orange/rose water I've ever had in baklava. On a return visit, I went for something quick and easy to-go, the large shawarma wrap ($11). After a short wait after a few others, I had my shawarma and classily ate in my car. It had a lovely and crisp exterior from the griddle/sandwich press, plus more traditional ingredients than most shawarma places - chicken, toum, pickled turnips and the clincher - fries. No salad in these bad boys! If they had a better toum, it would be a front runner for the best shawarma wrap that I've had in the province. Maple Cedar may have a broad menu to appeal to a smaller customer base that's less familiar with Middle Eastern food than big markets, but they're still doing right by their culinary origins.
