I was so hungry I didn't even snap a photo. I arrived at 6:30pm with a closing at 7pm service was wonderful smiles on their faces with laughter as I was ordering, the interior was ok, just a basic small dine in area. I had the Chicken Shwarma platter I found the chicken to be very dry the rice was cooked perfectly, noce warm tortilla, portions were good, over all a good experience with the arrival time and there closing time I will definitely try again but will stop in for lunch.

On the way to beddeck we found this halal food place that offered shawarma and donair. Friendly staff but the food is ok. The flatbread that was served was a little dry. the chicken shawarma was good. Donair was not up to what we were expecting. But grateful that they served halal food.

This place never disappoints! I got their meal#1 and a tabouleh salad for $31 and it fed me for 2.5 days. The food is so fresh and flavourful. If you haven’t tried this place yet, you’re missing out! Dill pickle pizza will be my next order and I can’t wait to try it

We found this open whiles driving from Charlotte town PEI towards Cape Breton and stopped for a quick dinner break. As we were getting delayed on the highway we called the restaurant asking if they would be open beyond their closing time, we were pleasantly surprised by their answer. They welcomed us and the food was so fresh and cooked with so much love and attention. This is a family owned restaurant and they treat each customer as guests, which is reflected in the food. I highly recommend stopping if pasing or in New Glasgow Nova Scotia. Thank you for serving us with so much love and kindness.

I got the chicken shawarma platter. It was one of the best meals Ive had in awhile. Im gluten free and was so happy they had that option. The chicken was delicious and the bed of rice was so fluffy and seasoned perfectly. I also got fattoush and hummus for the side. The three combined was amazing.

One of the best Middle-Eastern restaurants I have ever been to. Great food with reasonable priving that would make your heart and stomach full. I think I will go there everytime I am in New Glasgow. They would get more customers if the had made their name look bigger outside of the store. Sometimes its just hard to read there name while passing by their store. Please give them a go if you are travelling New Glasgow. You will never ever regret it.

We chanced upon this quaint family style Mediterranean (Syrian) restaurant during our road trip to the Atlantic provinces. We had already spent 5 days on the road and I must say that this was the best lunch we had since the beginning of our trip. The portions were generous, the flavours were complex and the meats were succulent. Absolute value for money and the service with a smile was priceless!

Shawerma too thin, very small portion and had no flavor (my husband is middle eastern and he was really disappointed in them). Kefta sandwich wrap was good, flavor was good but again the ground beef kabob was thin and small. They tried to make the wrap look bigger by wrapping in extra large pita bread. Rice had good flavor.

★★★★★
December 22, 2023

Delicious and affordable with very friendly staff! We tried the Shwarma Platter & Kafta Wrap which were both considerable portions and very authentic. Got to experiment the new frappuccino s and would 10/10 recommend - very sweet, full of chocolate and creamy! Atmosphere could use some decorations and music but overall a gem in New Glasgow!

Stopped here enroute to Antigonish. Outside signage was difficult to read - skinny letters. Worth the stop. Very good wholesome food. Quite a lot of food. Excellent falafels. I did not try the pickels - watching my salt intake. The atmosphere is not inviting as it is a few boths and tables - ignore this and go inside and have some food. You wil not be disappointed. Know your menu items - what is (thermally) hot and not hot food. Friendly owners. If you not fure of something, ask.

We were three families from Toronto visiting PEI and Nova Scotia. We dropped by this place last week during our trip to Cape Breton Islands. After a long road trip we were welcomed and greeted and felt like home. The owner couple were very humble and it was a great experience to dine in. We ordered a variety of platters, pizzas and enjoyed the meals. The serving portions were huge and very well priced. The taste was delicious. The falafel were crispy from outside and soft inside. The pizzas were enjoyed by both kids and adults. Wonderful discovery and plan to stop again if we plan to visit this area. Thanks to the wonderful owner couple for their hospitality and delicious food and memorable visit. It was a pleasure meeting and talking to them.

Had the donairs from here... drum roll please! Amazing!! The sauce they put in the donair was addictive and the meat was juicy. Best donair I have had to date. Owners were very friendly. I would totally recommend.

Dine in or take out this little Syrian spot on New Glasgows east side offers traditional Syrian classics like Chicken shawarma and Tabbouleh salad. And local favorites like doniar poutine and pizza! They is also a Syrian grocery section in store which offers exotic spices. Olive oils grain chilli paste teas and much more! Friendly owners and good prices!

First time tried food was at the New Glasgow Farmers market and it was AWESOME so decided to try supper take out from here and oh my ..... ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! Tried Kafta Platter & Shawarma Pizza and hands down THE BEST and no doubt a must try!!! Very subtle spices but packs a punch (very mild no chillies no hot sauce). Will definitely be back.... Mouth watering good. Thank you Team, kudos!!

Not a very large space, only 5 or so tables, but the food was fantastic. The food is prepared fresh by a lovely man who obviously takes care and pride in his food. The lady working at the front of the restaurant is very kind and generous, and welcoming of diners. I had a chicken shwarma (9) which was an ample portion for lunch, and my next meal there will be the platter with rice and salad... and I can barely wait to go back!! To top it all off, they also sell some food staples, and I came home with a jar of pickled turnips :)

Had the falafel platter and some babaganoush. Falafels were delicious - light and crispy and full of sesame seeds. Babaganoush had a real nice smoky flavour. They have a fantastic selection of baklava treats for dessert. Would definitely go here again!

Even though I find the food wonderful, but I find that the staff often give you the wrong change and you need to correct them, and that is less than feasible for me!

These are the same folks who ran Julias Pizza. The pizza is always hot and fresh and the crust is the best! We get two pizzas every week. They also make homemade baklava on-site which goes fast.

Although I long known about Maple Cedar this was my first time getting take out there. I ordered the Lebanese Feast #1 and it was delicious, It included home made hummas with 2 pita bread, tabouleh, 2 lamb baaline and entire chicken shawarma platter. This truly was a feast, twice as much food as I could eat and all of it delicious. My wife had a donair poutine which heavy on the donair meat and more than she could eat. I highly recommend this restaurant, it has good food with both local and Lebanese dishes and the prices are more than reasonable. Update: I have now eaten at this restaurant several times and had many dishes, all of which have been delicious and satisfying. The Syrian Kitchen is a more recent development which has allowed for expanded hours and has kept the same high standards and reasonably prices.
