I rarely review anything, but I had to in this case. Tarek’s is a Halifax gem IMO. The food is fantastic, the prices are reasonable and the staff is incredibly friendly. I love going here.

If I could give this place more than five stars, I would. The Tarek’s in Fairview is absolutely delicious and the staff are exceptionally welcoming. You walk in and get handed a homemade bowl of soup for free that’s so yummy while you wait for your meal to be prepared. Reasonable prices and extremely delicious food. I go anytime I get the chance.

After hearing about Tarek's for years, I was able to have my first experience yesterday! It was amazing! The service was top notch, and I really enjoyed the warmth and kindness shown to me by the staff. They are such sweet people. The food was wonderful, the options were plentiful and service was quick and comfortable. I thought it was so sweet that they had us eat first and then come up to pay after. The lovely lady at the counter told me that she didn't want my food to get cold. Very very kind. I am looking forward to going back and can understand why it is a Halifax staple.

The owner and staff were very helpful and friendly. The food was so good that I keep thinking back to it all the time and can't wait to go back to Halifax and eat here again!

We had just landed in Halifax and Tarek's was our first stop and it did NOT disappoint. What a gem of a find. The outstanding customer service was only outdone by the sensational food. We both had a fat okay salad with beef. The salad was fresh and the beef was flavoured perfectly. The portions were enormous and we both left so full and ready to start our Halifax adventures. We will be back!

I have been dining at Tarek for more then 15 years and it’s always been the best mediterranean food around because he was always consistent with the taste and the portions , in the past couple time that I went in the past year I find the food taste changed it’s not cooked proper and I had friends say the same thing would like them to train the employees more to know how to cook the food proper thank you and will come back again to try my favourite plate is the mix beef and chicken and recommend the Philly steak pita . .

A very good place, excellent quality, good price, card payment is not accepted but there is an ATM inside, they give you a small complimentary seafood or pea soup. They are delicious. I will definitely return several times. It is a gem for foodies

I discovered Tarek s two days after he had opened. Having just moved into the Hydrostone I found him in the plaza before he had ever expanded. Watched his business grow and he was my go to guy if I wanted to eat out for 15+ years! Vegetarian options: There are lots Dietary restrictions: Good for low-fat and dietetic options Parking: Can be difficult at lunchtime Wheelchair accessibility: Yes

My favourite Middle Eastern restaurant in Halifax. Food was very fresh, delicious and staff were friendly.

★★★★★
November 22, 2024

The best middle eastern restaurant I have been to, they are very kind and generous and are well known for their shawarma and falafel. I would recommend to all my friends and others to go visit. Enjoy! The best and smartest Arabic restaurant, known for its falafel and shawarma. The staff and owner of the restaurant are very respectful and kind. We recommend the restaurant to everyone Vegetarian options: They have falafel, salad and a variety of vegetarian options

November 22, 2024

I dont recommend going there on your lunch you will waste your time regardless of that fact they do not keep the order of the line and often skip you to serve preferred customers thats what happened to me today I ordered and someone I knew that came in a while after me was served in a matter of 5 minutes and then they serve the table of five and just kept telling me that mine was coming this isnt fair and it shows nepotism. They were rather surprised I knew the name of the person they served instead of me its a small world and Halifax I will never go back to Terex or recommend them to anybody ever again

A friend and I traveled from New-Brunswick to Halifax for her to catch her flight back home. We looked up various place to eat that were not too expensive at and Tareks Café came up. When we entered, we were greeted by the people working there. We took a bit of time to decide what we wanted and they were patient. We took the chicken shawarma pita. About 25$ for both our meals. My friend asked if we could add a falafel each to try them and they were delicious. Halfway through the meal, I thanked him for letting us try his falafels, told him we traveled from NB (and Mexico). He brought us more. The food was a 10/10, the kindness and appreciation we felt from this man and his staff was the best. I plan to go have another meal there next time I travel to Halifax as there is nothing better than finding a small restaurant that feels like you are part of a family, even if you just met. To the man that gave us the falafels, I hope you see this review and know how we loved your place. See you soon! Parking: In front of café. Availability depends on how busy they and other commerces are. Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs, wide double doors. Chairs easily moved. Unsure about washroom.

Authentic Lebane cuisine at reasonable price. Caters more to take out than table service. Friendly and respectful staff!

June 22, 2024

The service here was really nice but just a word of caution, their meat is not halal. We went thinking it was and asked a server whether the meat was halal and he seemed confused but eventually said yes . We called them again to confirm after we left and were told that the meat is not halal. This is just for the Muslims in case you might think it s a halal restaurant as we assumed.

Its a cash establishment so be aware of that, but my god the food here is amazing. Seriously I wanted something authentic and tasty filled with flavour and healthy portions. This was the place, I got a half and half, and the reason why I dont have a picture is because I just demolished that meal. The staff are friendly and the food so good, this is authentic and if I lived here Id be going everyday if I could. Do not miss the opportunity to check this place out!

Went here on a lunch break from a course I was on. The place was very busy but the food came out quickly. I took my meal to go as there were no empty tables but it was a very delicious authentic meal. The portion size was good. Be advised it is cash only, however they do a a atm machine next to the counter (it charges a $2 service fee). Also it s a bit confusing to pay as you line up on one side to order food and then went to a different line to pay. Otherwise it was great

Absolutely delicious food and great customer service. My parents wanted to try alittle of everything so it was suggested we order the Dinner combo for 2. There was beef, chicken, perogies, shrimp and calamari (calamari was additional because we wanted to try it as well). It came with 3 kinds of salad (tabouli, bean salad and another salad). Also had pita with hummus and tazaki. Plus we were given a small dish of free lentil soup which was delicious too. The beef and chicken were tender and tasty. The prawns were large and fresh. The calamari was tender and cooked perfectly. BUT the rice was my favourite the rice was beyond delicious. I could eat the rice everyday. Large and generous portions of food. $55 for dinner for 2. It fed 3 of us and we were stuffed and there was food left over. Tarek gave us some falafels to take with our leftovers. Fantastic, friendly atmosphere. So helpful and accommodating with food suggestions. I highly recommend Tarek s cafe.

Tareks is the place to go in the North end. Its still family owned, and never lets us down. Its cheaper than Subway and MacDonalds and way better for you. Good menu selection! Parking. Eat in with beautiful painted tables, they usually offer a free small homemade soup if you eat in. Take out is a breeze and if you have any allergy issues they can tell you, or hold it off no problem! If you have never been youre missing out! If you have them you know its a fantastic place to eat ethnic food. Most of all friendly amazing staff! Vegetarian options: I just know they have some, check out the menu online. Or they will modify an order. Dietary restrictions: Well I cant eat eggs or dairy and they always help me out and will sometimes offer substitutions. And they are understanding about it! Parking: A good enough number for a plaza. Kid-friendliness: They love everyone and have lots of sitting space, and some outdoor sitting, I would take my children there. Wheelchair accessibility: There are several in the plaza.

A great experience. I saw couples who seemed to be regulars coming to get a midday meal. The menu is all unique items; there is nothing to correspond with the Subway two doors away. You feel as if in a Mediterranean cafe, say, on one of the Greek islands. Dont come expecting candles or a waiter in a tie. But the food is simply excellent. Hard to know where to start with the menu. Just try one and go from there, perhaps. Take a picture of the posted menu so you ll be ready the next time you happen in. By the way, bring cash. The cafe opts out of Mastercard and the others, and there is no debit that I noticed.

Our first visit and Tarek saw how confused we were with the huge menu. He offered to make a platter of good things and we trusted his judgment. Wow. We were overwhelmed with the best food, great service and fantastic price.

Great food, fresh tasting and friendly customer service. Interior is a little dated, but that doesnt ruin the good food or friendly service at all. They only accept cash, but have a debit machine. I imagine the machine charges fees. Its kind of annoying not having a point of sale. They could easily charge a surcharge like some other restaurants do. Its usually cheaper than service fees from ATMs.
