902 Restaurant & Catering in Halifax

Beautiful, clean and tidy restaurant. The service and reception were very nice. The food is delicious. I came from Moncton to Halifax just to eat there. Thank you guys.

Amazing!! Always fresh. Always good. Never disappoints. Affordable too. Thank you for keeping the prices low!!

Delicious food, very good service, and the restaurant atmosphere is wonderful and calm. I wish them success.

Had the Syrian Kebab which was cooked correctly but the sides aka rice and salad were super greasy. At one point my plate had grease sliding off it that s how much was there.

This was the first place in Halifax I had dinner in, and I made sure to keep returning there for the duration of my stay. The taste of all the food was incredible and very unique (particularly the Syrian shawarma). Most importantly, the people were fast in their service and really pleasant, I wish them always the best!

The best kunafa place, we drove 3 hours to eat kunafa cheese and it was a pleasure to eat this delicious dessert, somewhat expensive but worth every penny. 100% recommended

I ordered kebab which was for 19$ but on the table just received 2 small kebab with lot of red rice. Which makes no sense. All the food you order will have red rice even if you do not order red rice. I suggest to try other middle Eastern restaurant.

Excellent food. Really enjoyed

902 is a fantastic spot for Mediterranean food! They serve everything from lamb shank to shawarma, and its all delicious. The place has a super cozy vibe, perfect for solo dining, or with family. The sit-in area is really fun too. Definitely worth a visit!

A small cozy restaurant. Amazing for takeout or in house dining. The presentation when eating in house is outstanding! Best falafel in the city! Their fried chicken is a huge portion and next level crispy. A must try!

The place was chill and had good food but they need to improve the atmosphere Parking: They are in the downtown, so you need to park in the street sides and they are paid I suggest walking their if u live near. Food : 3/5 |

Good Arabic food Parking: Park in the mall in front of it Food : 4/5 |

Stopped in for dinner and had a great lentil kofta wrap. Food was great and the service was too. Nice private booths to sit in as well.

The best of the best

Their fried chicken is one of the best

** VERY SERIOUS** Got a serious allergic reaction (nuts) from this place due to cross contamination. My order was nothing more than a chicken shawarma and I still ended up on the hospital. Ive eaten at countless middle eastern restaurants in my life and never have I had a reaction. Its customary in middle eastern restaurants to have deserts (like the ones on their menu) to have nuts, which is more than fine, but it doesnt mean that cross contamination should be an issue. Who knows how clean their kitchen is and the procedures that they follow. The food itself is nothing to write home about so if you have a similar allergy or just care about food cleanliness with respect to how its made, Id avoid this place at all costs

Halal food, Oriental dishes .. authentic taste

We ordered 2 shawarma syrian beef and it was the worst shawarma we ever tasted. Not eatable and not for human consumption at all. Seriously i couldn t swallow one piece. The restaurant is cleanliness Toilet disgusting I don t recommend at all

The chessy kunafa was so good.

The shawarma tastes better, and the potatoes are a lot. Good luck

Had Iftar here and was incredibly satisfied! The chicken and rice was super fresh and hot and delicious. The knefeh was to die for. I will definitely be going back!

I asked them to get food from outside and order from them and eat in restaurants they refused with no clear reason at all!! Also I ordered chicken and they tell me time to pick it up when I came it wasn t ready and I have to wait more 18 minutes!!

I have to say food so good at 902 restaurants

Honestly was looking forward to this place but was very disappointed. Fries were cold, barely any meat on the plate I ordered and just overall disappointed on the quantity of food given for what we paid. The garlic sauce tastes more like yogurt than garlic sauce. Won t be ordering again.

Their Lamb Shanks are must-have for us whenever we visit Halifax. Its very tender and tasty.

Food was awesome

Today I received an order for a shawarma offer. Mashallah, it tastes the best. May God grant you good health. With success, O Lord, a thousand greetings and thanks to Sayed Anas and the team who is with him.

Awesome Ask for Syrian shawarma

Good taste

best place for halal food

The taste of the chicken was amazing

I got chicken shish. I m disappointed. Pictured is the chicken which is five pieces - the description is misleading, 2 skewers I d expect an even number (but also more) It was a little too burnt. Also, I got take out. The menu price $16 (that s 18.40 with tax included), he tells me the price 19.50 - which I ll assume price change, I don t care. I say can I pay cash, he says yes it s $20. The price raised when I paid cash? I always tip, but I d rather the option to do so.

Hands down the best middle eastern food in the city.

We got the kebab mix and kibbeh, they were soooooo good. Finally a good Mediterranean restaurant which isn t too expensive and worth the price. I was on the lookout for good shawarma places and this definitely is on my list. Flavors are spot on, we have never encountered any undercooked food, so far so good!

Welcoming and cozy. 100% recommend Go for the food. We had the Syrian Kebab and the Chicken Tandoori. The salad, rice, and fries with the garlic sauce were perfect to complete the meal. We were just driving around and discovered Google Maps (new to us) feature to write in the cuisine of food you like, and this restaurant came up with a few others. Trust! Its mad good

Very freindly, co- operative staff. Excellent food quality and serving. I asked them to serve about 12 guests with lamb shanks and roast chicken. We all loved the food, and had a great evening. Reasonable prices also.

Best customer service... even though we were 15 people with as many kids, they showed patience

Excellent food.

Downgrading my review from 5 stars... After being away from Halifax for a couple years, I went back to my favorite place. This place has gone downhill in an unbelievable way! My whole order was the following: Om Ali Kunafa Ayran Tea For the above, we had to wait for more than 30 mins, which is not the main issue. We received Om Ali and the Kunafa and they were terrible! The Kunafa especially was my favorite dessert here. This time, it had almost no cheese at all! And it tasted so sour! With such terrible service and taste, management really needs to pay attention. Old review: This is the best place around Halifax to get Kunafa!

Lamb Shank is a must try at this place. The ambience was good.

We ordered the family meal the 10 people meal 2nd day of Ramadan to take home a. Meat ( kofta Kabab) was literally raw, wasn t cooked enough all red from inside and frozen cold. Rice you can tell wasn t fresh and has bad smell. We couldn t eat this meal after long day fasting!!! The worst experience ever wouldn t go there again! We used to love this restaurant when the old owner was running it .

Good

Good quality Good portion size Middle east food Good barbeque dishes Clean and good prices Tasty dessert

Sweets, fries are very tasty..everthing is very delicious .i recommend this 100%

The restaurant is just past Halifax Citadel, very good ambience the host Hamood was really kind and courteous he suggested me a Syrian dessert Muhalaya which was really palatable and cheaper than my original choice Om Ali! If you re in Hali dt and visiting citadel do check this restaurant out!

Tried eating out at 902 and found it to be a great place. The staff was friendly and helpful, the service was amazing and the food was mouth watering. I would recommend 902 for Mediterranean Food!!!!

The food experience in 902 is rich with taste by amazing chefs

Excellent food! Very good portion sizes and prices. Fresh food and good quality. Would definitely recommend! Vegetarian options: Friend got the lentil wrap! It looked great as well.

Best lamb shank ever! Always stop by when visit halifax!

Excellent food. Super fast when we told them we have to catch a flight. Very friendly staff. Strongly recommend

Tried their popular Roasted Lamb Shank from here. It had very good portions with a choice of salad or fries. Dish was really delicious and more than enough for an average person. Eventhough the entrance to this restaurant is a alleyway it got a very good ambience inside with all warm lights. Price is moderate but dishes justifies the price. Vegetarian options: Very few or almost no vegetarian options

I am a vegetarian I ordered mixed platter n i must say every bite was Fresh n Delicious

The best shawarma

Best place if you re looking to eat Mediterranean ! Absolutely loved it. Great staff and very clean space.

Fatoush salad is delicious and fresh

Very nice place and good food! However, the baklavas don t taste good and are bland. The koftas were also somewhat dry. Other than that, the chicken, rice, and lamb were very juicy and flavorful.

Best fried chicken in the universe. Hands down

We ordered Basbousa and kunafa. Both were fantastic. Service is up to the mark. They made live kunafa so it was fresh, hot and delicious. If any one love these desserts this place is highly recommended

Abu Lafas teacher is the best Hassan

Great food for a good price!

It is the best

Vegetarian options: Vegan Food

I bought shawarma from this place it s not delicious and I got sick with my family

The worst food I have ever tasted in my life

I first had 902 in 2020, the food quality has now degraded significantly.

Excellent food . The taste and the quantity was good for the price. Thumbs up

The variety of meals which we ordered were all perfect. Its a place to come again. Vegetarian options: The salad was on point. Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible

Had chicken leg for takeout, worst chicken i ever had, all burnt full of oil. Maybe they put it in hot oil to warm it up. So hard to chew. Won t recommend.

The place is filthy, and the service is rude. The premises used to be a Japanese restaurant, and after it changed ownership the new and current owner did not even bother to redo the interior, which is decaying and dirty. On top of that, the server displays a condescending attitude to the customers, treating them curtly.

Lamb Shank is very good

They have two different menu cards in the store. I purchased one dish by looking the old menu card but I was not aware that was the old menu card. When i paid the bill they asked me to pay according to the new menu card and there was almost a price difference of nearly $10 and the dish was not worth for it. They should throw out the old menu card so customers will not misunderstand and buy dishes according to the prices in the old menu

We ordered assorted hot and cold meze (moutabal, hummus, baba ganouj, lentil kofta, falafel, fatayer and sambusa) as catering for an event with ~25 people. It was FANTASTIC! People loved the food and there was something for everyone with different diets. Lots of folks asked where it came from. I couldnt recommend 902 more highly. If youre having folks over, skip cooking and call them instead!

Friday sep/29/2023 early afternoon, I ordered chicken biryani, chicken wasn t fresh just a single piece leftover from last working day of restaurant, rice are not biryani rice was platter rice, the only thing good with that dish was served with salad on side and with spicy & garlic sauce. Otherwise chicken in biryani was worse, not fresh, bite feelz like chew gum , They heated that & put in your plate. That was first time, never going back or recommending it to someone..

Best restaurant to try in Halifax if you really love Mediterranean food .

Hands down the best shawarma I ve ever had. Will definitely be ordering from here often!!

This is a Syrian restaurant in downtown Halifax. Good food and friendly staffs. Went to check out first time and given the area competitions I would say their food portions are much better than any others. Good food good people.

the stuff are amazing the food supper but you can fine some mouses inside the Restaurant also that is a very bad memory that I had

Ordered food via Uber from here, chicken and rice were mediocre. Bakhlawa was stale and they forgot in include the drink I paid for :(

By far the best and most authentic chicken shawarma in HFX. The lentil soup is delicious! However, the interior of the restaurant resembles more as a chinese restaurant, as the seats are uncomfortable

Food quality and taste were beyond my wildest imagination! Thanks! I only have one comment: I wish the volume of the music was lower.

The food is just AMAZING!!! I was so amazed when I visited 902 restaurant for the first time! The food tasted sooo good and the portions were so generous . We ordered chicken, beef shawarma and lamb chunks with rice . The garlic sauce is very well done . Everything tasted so great that I decided to never eat shawarma again somewhere else lol You should never look for other restaurants when you d like to try middle eastern food .

The food and service are great. I and my friend enjoyed the meal very much.

Absolutely delicious and the best Syrian/middle eastern food in town Edit** came back again the next year and was again just a floored. Halifax is sleeping on this local gem - the portions are amazing, price is good, and the flavours are perfect

Syrian Friend Chicken is famous here I love their Kabsa Rice or Mandi rice or fries along with their salad

We ordered from 902 for delivery. The food was soooooo good. The hummus was off the rails delish! Definitely getting more eats from this restaurant.

Dietary restrictions: Halal restaurant! Tasty food! Food

A great Mediterranean restaurant 8n Halifax. Great food and good value for money

Great customer service, tasty food and good price for the amount of food. I recommend this place for none Middle Eastern and Middle Eastern. I had the Lamb Mandi and I enjoyed it everysecond.

An amazing restaurant

Great costumer service, the food is delicious, I think they are the best Arabic restaurant in Halifax

Really good food and the portion is huge

Best lamb shank ever !!

Should try fried chicken with fries and garlic sauce

Yammy and quality food

Obviously there is a new owner to the restaurant. As someone who used to be a regular customer for long time and also used to frequently get catering from 902 for work events, I find it now one of worst restaurants and I wish there was a zero start to give them. They aren t reliable and don t serve the same order specifics as described in their online menu and furthermore they claim the website is old and not theirs anymore, very suspicious and unreliable response! When you ask for the current menu, they offer nothing in return. Food quality is also worse compared to previous. Customer service is very unprofessional and rude and I believe they won t survive in the market for long given their poor performance. Never to go there again or advise anyone to.

Food is delicious. Service is terrible.

The food was ok but quite pricy

Its a really good restaurant with authentic Mediterranean foods. The seating is really good as it gives you ample privacy between tables. Prices are reasonable. Probably due to covid, they wont serve you water in glass, you have to buy a bottled water. Overall a great experience

Great food

The chicken was dry and chew and costs $17 defiantly not worth buying McDonalds tastes better

I had ordered on Uber Eats. I called in if they were able to package my order in containers, and give me extra foil for me to warm up my food at work in a micro-oven. They went above and beyond for my order. Gave me tinfoil and few extra containers. Not to mention, the fries are absolutely amazing. The chicken burger was soo delicious, the garlic sauce is one of the best sauces ive ever had (ive eaten garlic sauces around canada and usa, this one is one of the top ones for sure). I have yet to try the chicken shawarma wrap and other items tomorrow. Being from Ontario, youll always have my business when im back here. Thank you soo, sooo much. The restaurant is also very respectful. Cheers,

It was a pleasant experience.

We ordered for catering for 11 people for an office lunch. The 2 skewers per person as shown attached. First, they forgot about our order and when we called saying we re on our way, they said it would take 30 more mins. Great. We got the food after that and they gave us 8 lamb and 6 overcooked dry salt less chicken skewers. There was supposed to be 22!!! I called them back and they said it s supposed to be 8 skewers of meat - well then why did you charge me 225$???? Needless to say the food was NOT enough for our team, and we were ripped off. The rice was tasty though. Oh also, no pita bread. And the tomato in the salad had a bit of a mold problem. NEVER ORDERING AGAIN.

The restaurant stuff are not friendly

We ve never dined in here but order off Uber Eats delivery from here all the time. We love their fried chicken and lamb shank with both versions of their rice. The highlight are their two sauces. The white garlic and whatever the red/orange sauce is, they both go well with everything we order and then some! We always order enough for leftovers and they all reheat well too!

They never fail to impress. I have tried a lot of items from their menu, whether it is burgers, tandoori chicken, mix kebab, jumbo shrimps, lamb shank, Kanafe desert and the food is always great, tasty, well seasoned, reasonably priced with good fulfilling quantity per meal. Well done keep going.

Used to be one of the best restaurants, great food. But since the owner changed, it doesn t taste the same, the taste of food degraded to the lowest level. No authentic taste now.

The worst shawerma i have ever had

Good quality food with great service

Best food in town! A taste of home

First time there and wont be the last. Food was amazing. Service was amazing. Will be a regular stop from now on.

The staff were very friendly. The ambiance was not the best, however the food was delicious, sizeable and affordable.

The serving time was a bit slow but the quality of food overcame it.

Distinctive, the food is halal, and the meals deserve excellent praise

Best food. I love everything this restaurant has to offer. Never had a bad meal here, always delicious.

Excellent food. All halal. Right in the middle of downtown. Their service is exceptionally good. Love how the lady (never asked her name) greets every time I go! The portion size is enormous and theyre very generous with their special garlic mayo.

Amazing Taste of Fried Chicken with french-fries are Unique and MAINLY HALAL which is in centre of downtown. Shawarma is also good which will make you full.

I would like to thank all the staff at 902 because they serve the most delicious food in Halifax, the team there is friendly and the treatment is great. Thank you

Great and friendly behaviour, good food portion and fair price.

The best Halal fried chicken in Canada. I have tried many places in Toronto and Montreal but nothing beats the taste of Syrian Fried Chicken.

Kid-friendliness: Great food at reasonable prices. Worked wrll for even my pickiest eaters. I will definitely be back.

Awesome..the Syrian wrap was really tasty!

Excellent restaurant, succulent food I was passing through Halifax and I was well served by a very friendly and smiling lady A good mandy, coffee and kenafa The boss was there and offered me a delicious cake too Thank you so much I will definitely come back

Literally the best middle eastern restaurant in Halifax by far.

Been here a couple of times now because the food is reliable. This time out again, the food was good. I got the Syrian kebab. As usual the garlic sauce and spicy sauce was amazing and added the best touch to the food. However, it seems like the kebab pieces have shrunk in size. I was not too bothered by it as the food was still great. However, the service was not the best. Although the waitress got us everything we needed, I noticed them rolling their eyes at us a couple of times. Now i don t mind if you are smiling or not, but rolling the eyes is a bit much I find. It was also pretty warm in the restaurant. But we were sat next to the kitchen, so maybe that s why. The baklavas here are okay. But I ll probably try them on a better day again. Overall, food is good but environment not the best. I would suggest takeaway for the best experience here.

Food was decent but very low quality and quantity as well as a dirty bathroom and environment. Wouldn t recommend

Great food and service.

The food was great!!! So delicious and the staff are so kind and sweet Definitely recommend

Great Service, delicious Syrian food, friendly hostibality , and good prices

Lovely vibes, and friendly staff. The Syrian fried chicken and lamb shanks are very delicious, tender and tasty. Its highly recommended

Nice decor. Enjoyable atmosphere. Great service. Good food. Overall a splendid experience. Thank you!

W people. W food. W seating. W place.

We did takeout for dinner. Our large group ordered different things from the menu with the intent of sharing and tasting the variety. Everything tasted almost authentic to ME food we have tried in UAE and portions were sufficient. The rice, chicken, hummus and baklava. Yum! Great customer service to boot.

Good prices, large portions, great taste, excellent

Previously purchased the best shwarmas from this location from Alladins. Tried the new place. The wrap was a tortillas, not a pita bread, the meat had dried out pieces of meat, it wasnt bad however didnt taste like real shwarmas. Was a disappointment. Im sure the other food in restaurant is good as it was busy, however the shwarma was not up to standard of a good one. Hopefully they can improve this.

The best shawarma ever

This would be my favourite place added to my list delicious food and staff was awsm!!

I had the best dish I ever had in Halifax

Great food.

So so good again tonight! This is our 3rd time ordering off Uber Eats and we were so pleased. This is one of our top picks for date night in for sure!! Thank you guys for another yummy meal

We went there and had Lamb Shank, Kebab Platter and Jumbo Shrimp. First two meals were really tasty but we found the Jumbo Shrimp on a salty side. The restaurant staff were kind enough to not charge us for the Jumbo Shrimp and let us order something else from the menu instead. Loved the professionalism and the hospitality.

Really nice service - the lady behind the counter was wonderful. She took our order and let us sit and charge our cell phone while we waited for the food to get done. She gave us free sauce with our falafel sandwich. Only thing I hoped was the falafels were a bit more fried and crunchy. Our falafels were soft. The quantity is just great - a single sandwich filled us up nicely. Overall, a great place to grab a quick bite and enjoy the beautiful city of Halifax.

Amazing food and the portions are great!! The service is fantastic as well.

Good

Awesome food! Roasted lamb shank is my favorite

The first choice of fried chicken in Halifax

Went for lunch and ordered Syrian Fried chicken and Lamb Shank. Fried chicken taste good here. One of the few halal options of fried chicken in Halifax. Lamb Shank I wouldn t recommend coz I think it wasnt well cooked.

Excellent Platters and presentation of the food. The owner is great willing to help with menu and always friendly.

This was my second time trying the fried chicken and they managed to get it raw. I do inform them but they end up saying this is how we cook our chicken. We can cook the same piece more for you. Customer service was terrible and we dont get our plates or utensil in time. Food portions were very different with different staff. They need to get themselves in order and teach their staff how to deal with customers.

I visited this place last week. I ordered the chicken tandoori. The only complaint I have is the price advertised on the menu is not what was charged . Even on Google it says 16.99$ but I was charged 19.99$ plus tax.
