902 Restaurant & Catering حلال — Restaurant in Halifax

If you’re craving authentic Middle Eastern cuisine, 902 Restaurants & catering is a must-visit spot in Halifax downtown,I recently had the chance to try their Lamb Mandi, and to be honest, it was absolutely outstanding. The lamb was incredibly juicy, tender, and perfectly cooked — every bite melted in my mouth. The rice was fragrant, flavorful, and paired beautifully with the meat, capturing the true essence of traditional Middle Eastern flavors. It’s one of the most satisfying mandi dishes I’ve had in a long time.

After the main course, I tried their sweet Kunafa, and I have to say — it was hands down the best Kunafa I’ve tasted in Nova Scotia so far. The balance of sweetness, creaminess, and that perfect crispy texture made it a delightful end to the meal.

The staff were very friendly and welcoming, adding to the overall positive experience. They were attentive and ensured everything was to our satisfaction throughout the meal.

One small note: parking can be a bit tricky directly in front of the restaurant. However, there is a paid parking building just across the street, which makes it manageable if you’re driving.

Overall, 902 Restaurants delivers an excellent culinary experience with authentic dishes, great service, and a warm atmosphere. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to explore true Middle Eastern flavors — especially the Lamb...

Our first visit to this new Mediterranean/Syrian restaurant, in the former Suzuki Sushi location. The food was excellent, and produced and served efficiently and nicely plated, which is impressive after being open such a short time (16 days!). However, between father and son in the kitchen they apparently have more than 45 years of cooking experience. The other son worked front of house and was both pleasant and skilled.

The meze were delicious, and somewhat different from the usual. Loved the green beans. Falafel were crisp on the outside and moist inside. The spice balance in the lentil kofte was perfect according to my daughter, a lentil kofte connoisseur. And the lamb shanks melt in your mouth. I was also blown away by the pomegranate vinaigrette on the fatoush salad.

I gather they’ve been very busy over the Christmas week, which is good to hear — they certainly deserve continued support. Highly...

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...
