MediTerra Kitchen — Restaurant in Lower Sackville

We thought we would try something new tonight and support a local restaurant. We decided to give MediTerra Kitchen a try and we were not dissapointed.

In fact we left stuffed after enjoying their delicious food that was very reasonably priced. For excellent quality food, and hospitality we paid just over $60 after tax and a 15% tip. We were also given free grilled pita with feta and olives while we waited and served Turkish tea after we ate which was a nice touch.

On a separate note of customer satisfaction, my 11 year old daughter who is very picky about what she eats absolutely loved their french fries and thought they were the best she has ever had and raved about them.

The only opportunity for improvement that I noticed while I was there was that they only had one waitress/hostess working on the front end. Please don't get me wrong here, I want to be clear that our service was still good and I don't blame them for starting up with minimal staffing to keep costs down as they are no doubt trying to feel out how business is going to be since the passport restrictions were lifted. Our waitress did a good job juggling the tables, orders, take out orders and Door Dash etc; I just think things would have been less stressful on the young girl working if they would of had at least one more person helping out in cash, but this is just a suggestion.

I would also like to note that this business did not ask for for the passport to dine in which I was pleased to see and will continue to support this business.

Overall, this was our first time eating here and we really enjoyed the food and hospitality. Given the circumstances and timing of the pass being lifted I understand like any business they will need time to feel out how things are going to go so I am going to give them the benefit of the doubt and give them a 5 star rating which I feel was more than earned by the quality, value and service. Thank you for having us as guests tonight and we will be back! 👍👍

//Update - Our Second Visit// Tonight we decided to go back to try some new items on the menu. First off I would like to acknowledge the level of service we received was second to none. In addition, I was was really impressed that the owner actually addressed me and my family by name and took the time to acknowledge my review, and advised that they have now hired an additional server which I was quite surprised at but really impressed with. I will note that all customers were well looked after.

This restaurant is the type of restaurant local people need to support. The quality of food is great, and it is very easy to see that they are striving to do their very best for their customers and not taking them for granted which is very rare in today's day and age.

I apologize for not getting better pictures, as it slipped my mind to take pictures before we started to eat. It just looked too good and we were hungry, so these pictures do not reflect the true quality of the food we received.

I ordered the kafta plate with the spinach pie to start. My wife had the artichoke salad and fried calimari. My daughter had the kids chicken burger with fries. After dinner my daughter had icecream with strawberry sauce and I had heaven on a plate, otherwise known as Profiterole which was amazing!

We all left full and more than satisfied with our food and service! A huge thank you to the owner and staff for an amazing meal. We will be back! If I could give you another 5 star rating I would but Google only allows me to give you one rating. We will be back! 👍👍

//Update// We have now dined in here at least 5 times and I can easily give this restaurant 5 stars across the board. I tried their moussaka for the first time and it was amazing to say the least. This is now our go to restaurant in Lower Sackville. If you want great quality food with great service and at a reasonable price this is a winner...

This place has been mentioned often recently by neighbours who love it, and we tried it (almost by accident) in the middle of a shopping trip in the area. We were nearby and one of our group recognized the name so off we went! The restaurant wasn't very busy but it was a cold Tuesday night so I wouldn't assume it is always so empty... If it is, then most of Lower Sackville and Bedford are missing out on a gem! The aesthetic of the restaurant is cozy meets IKEA, and menus are plastic pub menus so I wasn't sure what to expect. The menu is bigger than you would expect from a Mediterranean restaurant and there is a lunch menu as well. We quickly picked, and our server took our orders. While we waited for our food, our server delivered a sharing plate of pita, feta and olives to our table along with our drinks, which was a lovely touch. After we finished our amuse bouche, the mains arrived. I had the moussaka platter and it was perfect - béchamel was thick but not at all overpowering. Instead it had soaked into the eggplant and potatoes, and it made for a wonderful textural bite. My two companions both had the mixed skewer platter and it came beautifully plated. Meat was tender and the sauces were fresh and well spiced. One got the beet salad and not only did it look gorgeous, but they said it was delicious too. After dinner, another lovely touch arrived - tiny thin-waisted cups of tea and a small plate of biscuits were delivered to each diner. This is a Turkish tradition to have tea with dessert, a sign of hospitality and it was especially lovely to have them in a traditional Turkish teacup (like a small glass carafe with no handle.) It was a lovely end to an excellent meal. The restaurant also features shelves of Mediterranean foods, and I will definitely be popping in to get a few things for stockings and host gifts. Already...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Medi Terra Kitchen, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere perfect for families. The restaurant was impeccably clean, and the bathrooms were spotless—a rare find indeed.

One thing that truly stood out to me was their thoughtful provision of free diapers and wipes in each bathroom—a gesture that showcases their dedication to catering to families with little ones.

Now, let’s talk about the food. The lamb chops were simply divine and easily the best I’ve had in Halifax. Every dish was bursting with authentic Mediterranean and Turkish flavors, and there was a wonderful selection of treats available for purchase.

But it wasn’t just the food that left a lasting impression; the service was exceptional. We were treated with utmost hospitality and even received a complimentary tea with our meals—a delightful surprise.

I also appreciate their attention to dietary needs, as they are willing to accommodate any food allergies or special requirements. Their menu clearly indicates options for vegans, vegetarians, and those needing gluten-free dishes.

What’s more, knowing that Medi Terra Kitchen is 100% family-owned and operated adds an extra layer of charm to the experience. Overall, my visit was nothing short of wonderful, and I highly recommend this gem of a restaurant to anyone looking for delicious Mediterranean cuisine and...
