We went as a group of six and the setting was perfect for us to sit and catch up with each other. The owners welcomed us warmly and gave good advice for our mid afternoon lunches. They asked about spiciness and how hungry we were. We all left with full bellies and agreed that they provided decent value read more

Amazing. Love the crepes! Nice cozy place home like atmosphere. Very well done decoration. Food well presented and amazing service read more

Stumbled into Caribbean Bliss this morning and was welcomed with the warmest greeting and most fantastic food! Really low key spot in the north end and totally worth the stop. Service was so friendly as we learned the story behind the business and the passion going into the food. THIS is what real cooking tastes like. The menu is small and yet curated in a way that caters to all tastes. The flavours of Caribbean cuisine come together with French food and a touch of Lebanese background. Everything is so well done, fresh and a delicious balance of sweet with a Caribbean kick. The sweet and sassy breakfast croissant was delicious and the Benedict was perfect! The wedges that come on the side are also amazing. Just overall a great dining experience doing something a little different in Halifax. Worth the stop! Will be back to try some of the sweet breakfast options and desserts! read more

Consistently one of my favourite dinning experiences in Halifax. The flavours are exceptional. The service is superb. Elias makes you feel at home and presents his food with pride. Will keep coming back, thanks! read more

Having lived in Trinidad in my 20s, I consider myself a bit of a snob about West Indian food. This place is head and shoulders above anything I've had in North America. Started with the fried plantains, which were sweet and tender. The goat roti was nothing short of spectacular. The roti skin was flavorful and had the exact consistency of my roti youth in Port of Spain. The goat curry was rich and delicious. The jerk chicken was out of this world. Just spicy enough and so delicious. We also enjoyed a mango juice cocktail. Cannot recommend enough. Absolute gourmet dinner! read more

Wonderful gem in the North End. Absolutely loved the fact that I could have different toppings on each of my Eggs Benny and recommend the goat cheese and caramelized onion option. Enjoy a relaxing meal or do takeout! read more

Pretty good food, decent portions and full of flavour. The setting is the quirky part I loved. It's in the middle of a neighbourhood and looks like in someone's house. I would recommend a visit read more

A little difficult to find but well worth the search. Tucked away in amongst houses, parking might be problematic but the food is 6 stars and Elias is very friendly! read more

This past weekend, members of the Hip-Hop collective, Wu-Tang Killa Beez were in Halifax, and I had the pleasure of showing them the city. 3 of them were hungry and wanted Caribbean Food, so first we went to Brawta, because it was close to where we were at, but they were sold out of what the WU-Tang members wanted. So, I told them I know of another place and took them to Caribbean Bliss. About 10 years ago, me and a couple co-workers used to go to Caribbean Bliss once a week for lunch, but then it was taken over by new ownership and the prices went up, the portions got smaller and the flavor we loved was gone, so, I never went back again. But seeing as this was the only place I could think of on the spot, I decided to take them there. Now, in the car, I gave them full disclosure that the restaurant is not owned or operated by anyone from the Caribbean and that the food wasn't to my liking last time, so I do not endorse the food at all, but they were hungry so we proceeded. When we entered the place, one of the Wu-Tang members immediately said "This places doesn't smell like a Caribbean place at all", but the 4 of us looked over the menu anyways. 1 member ordered a Roti and salt fish, and another member ordered Jerk Chicken and rice. While ordering the Jerk chicken and rice, the Wu-Tang member was asking the server how big the portions were, to get an idea of how much rice was included, and the server had a pissy attitude while explaining it to him. the 3rd member of Wu-Tang and myself decided not to eat here and go somewhere else afterword's. It took nearly 45 minutes to get our food, and when I went back in to ask for some forks, the server (a male with shoulder length hair) rolled his eyes at me while reaching for the forks. He had the worst attitude of any server I have ever come into contact with. He even had a snarky and dismissive tone when we asked him any questions about the menu even going so far as replying "do you see it on the menu?" when asked about a food item. Anyways, the 2 members that ordered from there, ate in the car on our way to go get something for the other member and myself. The member that ordered the Jerk Chicken said that the Jerk Chicken wasn't bad, just not very flavorful, but they gave him way too much rice. The member that ordered the Salt Fish said that there was no salt on the fish...it was very bland. He didn't enjoy anything he ordered. So, the flavorless food combined with the long wait times (there was NO one ahead of us...matter of fact, we were the only customers on a Saturday afternoon, it should not have taken 45 minutes to get food) and the piss more service and attitude of the server is the reason I will never be back to this place and will warn everyone I know to not go there. I do food reviews for a living, so I know food and service, and this place is poor at both. If you want good Caribbean food and service, got to Brawta or East Coast Conch. read more

This great little cafe in the North End of Halifax has the best mix of Caribbean and French cuisine. the food here is amazing and the chef clearly has passion for Caribbean food as well as the community here. He is very kind towards his customers, and takes the time to know his customers names as well as any food allergies or preferences they have. He also explains the menu and the ingredients that go into a dish. Many of the dishes can feed at least two people, especially if travelling with younger kids, and the prices are very reasonable. Caribbean Bliss is a small, family-owned cafe, but the passion for community and good food thrives here. its a great place to stop by for any meal, especially if you live in the area. read more

I will tell you, this is the best Jamaican Restaurant that has every ones food pallet in mind. Menu that has something for all. I like the two big meals on the menu. The Meat Platter - comes with 4 types of meat in one meal (oxtail, curry goat, jerk pork, curry beef with rice) and they bring extra spice to your table and I always ask for the Jerk sauce. If you are a big eater like I am, then this is a must dish for you. You could also share this meal with friends. I also like the Kate's Special Plate - comes with 4 types of chicken in one meal (1 jerk chicken, 1 curry chicken, 1 bbq chicken, 1 brown stewed chicken and comes with rice). This is another meal you must try if your are a big eater like I am. You could also share this meal with friends. This nice cozy restaurant, has seating for about 20 and the atmosphere is very homey. They serve all the traditional foods such as akie & salt fish, roti, plantain, etc. and nice soft drinks. I love the mango juice. I will always go out of my way to eat here. Owner is friendly, polite and a very good restaurateur. Almost forgot, Breakfast, just delicious, very nice. 5 stars from me. Just wish you had delivery as I work down town and would order lunch from Caribbean Bliss every day. Don Adams read more

It's a Happy New Year being able to eat freshly prepared Hummus & Naan Bread (warm/yummy) in my neighborhood on a cold evening. The Coffee is always good & tonight it was the perfect match for the Carrot Cake that was baked in-house. My usual go-to is the Mango Cheesecake... It is "to die for" melt in your mouth... Looking forward to Lunch with a friend tomorrow for the best in "Create Your Own Dish" option. And of course Pizza on Friday night takeout. Amy Moonshadow supports local & let's build community. read more

They dont honor the free beef Patti when you check in here from yelp. The owner said it has been outdated since 2007 however the place has only been open 8years.. do the math! They even had an old coupon they were flagging around saying "see 2007". Who saves a coupon from that long ago...? I think it's a trap to get ppl in the door. It's a small residential house that is converted to a tiny restaurant. This place is more of a take out than sit down. read more

Used to be good! First time trying it since the new ownership and the old cook is gone and the flavor was gone with her. I see some people enjoyed it but it's not the same to me. Sorry but I won't return! read more

First time trying since the nice lady that cooked here has left .... just not the same ... The Bad 1) meat was tougher and doesn't fall off the bone any more 2) rice doesn't taste the same and has a metallic flavour 3) cabbage tastes good but is cut in to big long chunks now and hard to eat. 4) flavour of the Jerk Pork is not the same The good 1) it's still really hot. If you haven't ever been ... give it a try you might like it , but if you had the old food , prepare for disappointment... I'm probably not going back.... read more

Wow just wow Kate so sad to do this I really liked going there but what they always say fool me once shame on me fool me twice shame on you. I been supporting you and your boyfriends business for almost 2 years now unit I cant anymore The other day we had a conversation what I wanted to get for breakfast you said it would be ready breakfast for 2 90 $$ no I didn't tip because I had to wait in my car for 45 mins because you didn't think it was important to call your staff to get the text I was sending for the breakfast.... you truly run a shitty business your a shitty human personality everything which you can't have when your running a business I feel I been over charged more then once at your restaurant and thats not cool . Then I gave you one more chance to redeem yourself by saving me 2 boxes of Christmas cookies lol you couldn't even do that even though you said you would . I have given your business 1000s of my hard earned money to get a slap in the face not cool . I went to get the cookies and no surprise you only had 8 cookies left lol which you charged me 18 $ for you my friend have ripped me off the last and final time . I am disgusted at your unpleasant personality and the way you treat me and my friends for the last and final time we will take our business else where and I will warn others about your business trust me I know alot of people in the city so ripping me off and Having 0 respect for me probly was in a great idea on your part I suggest maybe owning a business isn't something for you JUST DONE KEEP THE MONEY THIS IS FOR THE BREAKFAST SIDE read more

This place is absolutely AMAZING!!!!! I was looking around for something different to eat. I was bored of pasta and deep fried foods. I was feeling curry so I originally wanted Indian food but the place that was near me was closed for the day. I type in "curry Halifax" on google and came across Caribbean Bliss. The website was very easy to navigate. You can either order online or over the phone. Since this was my first time ordering from this place, I decided to call. The Lady that picked up was very friendly. I could feel the smile through the phone. I placed an order for a curry chicken roti and a jerk chicken plate. The delivery came in less than 45 minutes (A+ for my first order). The delivery guy was so friendly, I couldn't help but tip him due to his personality alone. I spoke to him about the restaurant and he seemed to really believe in the business. I can tell that he wants this to work. It really blessed me to hear. The roti size was out of this world and I eat enough for two people. I had to save the jerk chicken for later. I took a bite out of the jerk chicken however and WOW. It is as spicy as it is amazing. I cannot wait to eat this later tonight. Overall: website/Menu - 3/5 The website and menu was very easy to navigate. the website looks home made but sometimes homemade is the best made :) The only thing I would like to see are pictures for those who have no idea what to expect. (not a complaint just an idea) Customer service - 5/5 the people working here are not only friendly but the handle customer service like professionals. Next time, I want to step foot and meet the workers face to face. Food - 6/5 OUT OF THIS WORLD. The meat just falls of the bone, the veggies are so fresh and the streets are made out of gold. If you are a lover of spicy foods, get jerk. The spice level on the curry is nice. My roommate is a little sensitive to spice and she loved it. If you are worried about the spice level on the curry, worry no longer :) Special Dietary needs: They have a great gluten free and vegetarian selection. This place is literally for everyone. Overall: this place is an A+. I will be a regular in no time. I will be preaching this place to that masses. GREAT JOB CARIBBEAN BLISS!! read more

The reason I joined Yelp. The void left behind from the loss of Caribbean Twist is now filled. Caribbean Bliss is definitely one of the hidden treasures of Halifax. Yes, it is sized more like a takeout, and yes, it is tucked away from downtown. That's the worst part, everything else is great. Everybody there is always friendly! While I cannot say that I have gone through every item on the menu, I can say that I have enjoyed everything that I have tried thus far. I routinely travel out of my way on the way home just so I can buy a couple of beef patties, well, more than a couple as I tend to eat them on the way home. Next on my list to try is the stewed oxtail. read more

SUPER YUMMY!!!! Ooooh my goodness. Today I had the Ackee meal, having no idea what it actually was, and it was awesome!!! The rice with beans, the little cabbage salad type thing, it was all awesome! And not expensive at all!! The bc has tried a few of the meat dishes and LOVED them all read more

Sweet & Sassy - Ackee Meal WOW!!! Soooo good!! I had no idea what Ackee was.. And now I know it's DELICIOUS! When they make it anyways. - Caribbean Near Me - Halifax, Nova Scotia

I've written a review for this fantastic restaurant's previous location many moons ago, but I wanted to throw in my two cents for the new locale. Pros: - Absolutely fabulous food. The jerk pork ribs, which I'd never tried before, were so delicious that I inhaled the entire meal in about 5 minutes. The rice and beans and spicy cabbage salad complemented the fall-off-the-bone tender meat extremely well. Don loved the curried chicken roti he ordered, which was rather generous in size. - Desserts, which we hadn't tried at the old location, were amazing. Like the entrees and appetizers, everything is homemade and tastes it. The mango cheesecake was so fresh and so very mango-y that we were astounded by its awesomeness. The banana cheesecake was every bit as scrumptious. I really want to try the rice pudding next time! - Service was very friendly - the lady working the counter that evening was helpful and pleasant. - The interior was very clean and everything is in plain sight, so you know how much care is put into the preparation of your food. Cons: - Limited eating space (just a small counter with 2-3 chairs) makes this more of a take-out restaurant - not necessarily a bad thing, but sometimes you just want to sit down and take in the aroma of Jamaican cuisine. With that being said, I urge you to visit Caribbean Twist's new location if you haven't done so before. You will not be disappointed! read more

I'm not big on jerk spice, so I wasn't sure there really be much here for me. But, I've had the Brown Stewed Chicken and the Jamaican Style BBQ Chicken, and both were delicious. Also, the coconut cream pie is incredible. It's pretty tiny inside, so we usually order pickup through Gata Hub. read more

Wow wow wow!! Easily some of the best food I've tasted. Exceptionally friendly staff, too, who made us feel at home and even let us try some extras. I 100% recommend giving this place a go, both for brunch and lunch. We will definitely be going back. Worth every cent and then some. read more

Authentic. Meat falls off the bone. Jerk Chicken, Curried Goat.. Both were great. Quality food. read more

Ordered delivery. Food arrived 45 minutes late and was cold. Delivery driver was sarcastic. After reheating food, it was decent. Portion of jerk pork was very small. Mostly bone - very little meat. Jamaican patties tasted like what you get at Costco. read more

My girlfriend and I stopped in, we each got a roti, hers was the curry chicken and mine the curry goat. The flavour was fantastic, it all tasted extremely fresh and delicious. And talk about filling, I ate a whole roti and skipped dinner it was so much food. My girlfriend had half of hers and ditto. Talk about value for your dollar. read more

I love Caribbean food and this certainly hits the spot. I've tried the brown stew chicken, goat roti and stewed oxtail. All are tasty with decent sized portions. You can ask for extra spicy which I did for all the dishes to make them a bit more authentic. The only reason I didn't give five stars is because of the use of microwaves. Microwaving food completely changes the taste and texture and not in a good way. Also, their prices are different on the website from the ones on the menu in store (the in store menus have more expensive prices). Overall glad to see a decent Caribbean food option for Halifax! read more

It doesn't get anymore Caribbean that this. Ting? Yes. Jerk chicken? Yes. Or tail? Yes. Kindly Jamaica grandmother that serves and cooks? Yes. More of a takeout place and they deliver to a wider zone than is probably worth their time and money. Authentic gets defined here. read more

I'm grossly disappointed. I just had a chicken roti with RICE!!! There was barely any meat and virtually no spice. "We ran out of curried potato". Well, STOP calling it Caribbean Bliss; the change in management doesn't work. Two thumbs down... read more

Authentic Jerk chicken! Had me sweating like crazy. My plate came with 2 legs and a back, plus rice and cabbage. My husband had Curry chicken Roti, but felt it was a bit dry. Not much in the way of seating. 2 picnic tables outside were full. I want to try the oxtail stew and some of the dessert next time! I'm so glad we have this little gem in Halifax. read more

Love this place a lot. Both the jerk chicken and bbq chicken were awesome. Also a favorite of my vegetarian friends, great options for them too. read more

We had jerk pork (ribs) and curry chicken roti and they were both awesome. The lady at the counter was very helpful and the customers were really helpful too. No hipsters work here so you know the food is made with love. Will be back! P.S. i had to lock my cat in my room to keep him away from my dinner! read more

Authentic West Indian food. Chicken roti was excellent and patty was fresh. Brought me back to my days of growing up in Scarborough and all the great West Indian joints. I encouraged the owner to start making doubles and she said she might be adding them to the menu. read more

DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and DISAPPOINTING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I ordered the Jamaica Patty and the jerk chicken to go. when I got home and opened to start to enjoy i was shocked! There was two pieces of chicken and it was hard as rock - it looked like tar pavement. it was soooooooooo spicy i could not eat it - the rice was hard and the beans in it were even harder - I think they gave me what should have been thrown out This was totally garbage! the Jamaican patty was also dry as popcorn and no flavor at all. After reading all these wonderful reviews I'm wondering If the people writing them are real? read more

As a homesick Caribbean student I was so happy to see somewhere with Caribbean food! Unfortunately, I was met with disappointment with the service. They messed up my order and wouldn't do anything about it. They called to confirm my order but I missed the call and tried to call back several times but couldn't get the restaurant but the delivery guy shows up with my food so I think everything is okay. Nope! My order is not what I ordered so I try to get the restaurant but to no avail, so I called Just Eat Canada instead and they got a hold of the restaurant. I spoke with a guy on the phone who said they will fix it but nothing happening. So, I decided to call the next day to find out if something was being done. I'm met with attitude by the lady who picks up the phone who then passes me onto the same guy from last night. He said I agreed to curry chicken with rice because he said there was no roti shells (that did not happen at all, I would've cancelled my order if I had known since I don't eat rice). I told him that I didn't agree to this and if there is anything that can be done to help this issue (i.e. a refund or a new order or anything). He said that I already ate from the food so that they couldn't do anything. I inform him that I haven't touched the food and it is in the fridge. He then changes up and says there's nothing he can do now but if I called when it happened they would've been able to fix it. Basically they gave me the run around, saying that if I called when it was messed up (which I did) they would've been able to help (they didn't). So I wasted a bunch of money on food I didn't order and can't eat. Will not be going back. read more

They make a very tasty roti. They have added tables to the first room since I last visited, which it makes it a more appealing eat in spot. Only complaint -- and this sort of thing is true of most things in Halifax -- how is it that a vegetable roti costs $7.75 in Montreal and $12 in Halifax? That's a 55% bump! But if you're craving a good roti, this is a sure bet, in my books! Also love that they have a wide selection of Jamaican sodas such as Ting, and the deserts are great too. read more

If i could give this place 0 stars i would. I placed my order online through the just eat app well before close which they accepted and charged me for. I then recieved a call stating that they had no food to give me. I asked why they had accepted the order and to be refunded to which i was told its not their problem and hung up on. Their cowardly staff member wouldnt even pick up the phone when i tried to call back. WORST. SERVICE. EVER! read more

jerk pork was amazing. most tender ribs i've had in recent memory. good spice and gravy. cabbage was pretty tasty and i don't really dig cabbage. rice was a ok. good hot sauce although they charge extra for it. patty was a little dry but not bad. they also stock ting. read more

Great takeout spot; the jerk chicken is good. Having travelled throughout Jamaica, this place really captures authentic flavour. I really enjoy the seasoned cabbage - curry flavour and slightly sweet - yum! read more

Growing up in Toronto, I got spoiled by places like The Real Jerk and other awesome roti places. I was worried that moving to the east coast, I would never find a place that satisfied my occasional desire for really good Caribbean food - boy, was I wrong. Caribbean Bliss is amazing. I've been a few times and usually order a chicken and potato roti, some rice and peas, one of their smaller menu items (like Jerk chicken) and a couple of Tings for my boyfriend and I. The portions are massive, its really reasonably priced and the service is great. I love how you can see into the kitchen and they have picnic tables outside. It's not the prettiest venue but its authentic and I've been really impressed with the food and the service - it doesn't matter much to me what the place looks like. Some of the best eateries I've been to look pretty sketchy, after all. The only criticisms I have are over the location (but that's more personal, because I live in the south end - its well worth the walk though), and the fact that they don't have Peanut Punch, which most placed don't; like I said, I'm spoiled. Great place to go for cheap and authentic Jamaican/Antiguan food - I recommend it to everyone. read more
