One of my favorite restaurant in Halifax (if not ever). The food is exquisite and affordable. The owners/staffs are welcoming and friendly. The place is cozy and has a great ambiance. We will definitly comeback with friends and family. I recommand the seafood kebob: the scallops just melt in your mouth?Parking: Paying parking (multiple floors) at 20m from the resto.

I chose this place for a special night dinner, and after that, I kept suggesting this place to all my friends. Overall, I have been here twice, and I enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere. This place has a great vibe, and I adore the place’s design. Regarding food, I have tried their Kebabs, Kofte kabab and their special dish, which includes three types of Kebeb, and I love all of those. And OMG, their Baklava and Kadaaif, with Turkish tea, are my favourite desserts ??

This is such a small gem downtown! The atmosphere can be both fancy/ romantic for a date or casual and family friendly. It has beautiful clean, and cozy layout with beautiful persian rug and real flowers on the tables.The service was increadible fron the moment we walked in and the owners and staff go above and beyond to make every customer feel special and welcomed. They go the extra mile to take time to explain the menu, welcome you and make the whole experience warm. It is a huge shift from a chain or larger resteraunts as they spend a lot of time on the details. The food was delicious, well presented, large portions and as a vegetarian I found I had a lot of option to chose from and the owners were extra generous in even giving us tea and sweet at the end.I highly recommend this place for the food itself, the service, atmosphere and overall experience.I will be coming back!Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options including many appetizers, salads as well as some main dishes.Great portions and a variety of flavours.

One of my all time favourite restaurants in Halifax - incredible, caring staff & Owners. Beautiful Food. lovely candle lit atmosphere, perfect for a romantic date night. Absolutely in love with everything about this space. I highly recommend mixing the spinach tarator and falafel with babaganoush together, with bread and butter wine and baklava for desert. ❤️ ✨?

I made a reservation for 4 for Smyrna and when we arrived we were greeted by a very friendly server who surprised me by addressing me by name throughout the evening! He was incredibly attentive to all of us at the table while we dined. The food was fantastic. We started with a generous portion of the house hummus and soft pita, which was terrific. The following were ordered as principal plates: Smyrna burger, seafood kebab, and lamb kebab. All were excellent (if there is one suggestion to be made: it would have been nice to have a slightly larger slice of halloumi cheese on the burgers :) The server continually refilled our water. The music wasn’t too loud, which was conducive to regular conversation. The atmosphere was pleasant. Very fresh food at a fair price, and again, wonderful service at the table.
