    This place is not worth the hassle. Owner not professional and goes out of his way to give you a hard time even when he's in the wrong.

    We stopped in on a Tuesday afternoon as we were craving some Greek food while we were in Halifax…read more Since Athens on Quinpool Rd closed and Opa in downtown Halifax closed there are not many good options for Greek and we held out high hopes of ela! Greek Taverna. ela! has a nice authentic Greek ambiance and the servers were pleasant and just attentive enough. But the food let us down for quantity and price. The three of us always like a variety so often order Appetizer platters when they are offered. The ela! website shows the Menu and the appy platter is listed as $60. The platter we received was priced at $75 and while it says is feeds 4 there were only two of each item so someone went without or two people had to share. For $75.......come on. A tad over priced. The appy platter also was filled in the middle with french fries, not Roasted Greek Potatoes like I would expect in a Greek Restaurant. Nary a single Roasted Greek Potato to be seen. A side of Saganaki is always required but a smallish piece of melty cheese for $20!!! Way over the top price for what you get. I realize food prices went up during covid but instead of bring them back down where they should be, all restaurants are holding the high prices. ela! has decent food but they are way over priced for amount you actually get. Greek food is very easy to cook at home so we will not be back.

    Darya's brunch buffet used to be one of the best dining deals in Halifax. It was a genuine standout…read morethat included a generous spread of high-quality Mediterranean dishes, all at a price point that made it feel like a treat without the guilt. We were regulars, and for good reason, sometimes going every week. ...but that's what makes the recent changes so disappointing. The buffet price has jumped from $35 to $42 per person (about a 20% increase) and yet somehow the offerings have gone in the opposite direction. The number of dishes on the buffet has been reduced, and most of the accompanying sauces have been quietly cut back or eliminated altogether. The toum, in particular, used to be a highlight (garlicky, creamy, and addictive) and its absence is genuinely felt. Now, two people are now easily spending $100+ for what is demonstrably less food than before. Since tax and tips are calculated as a percentage of overall spend, you end up paying quite a bit more per person than what you did a few months ago. The food that remains is still good. Darya's kitchen hasn't lost its touch, and the quality of the Mediterranean cooking is evident. And of course, the views are spectacular. But value is about the whole equation, and right now that equation doesn't balance. Paying more for less, especially when the "less" includes things you loved, is a hard sell. We probably won't be back again, at least for a long time . Here's hoping they reconsider and restore what made this special for everyone, locals as well as seasonal tourists, in the first place.

    During my exile in Ottawa, the strip malls on the Bedford Highway across from local institution The…read moreEsquire (charmingly named Esquire Plaza 1 & 2) evolved into a hub of cuisines from around the world, and I'm here for it! I've checked a few of these places off my "To Eat At" list, and when looking for some easy takeout after a long day, I took the opportunity to strike another name through. Tanoor is an interesting mix of Syrian and Yemeni cuisine, reminding me of the many East Asian restaurants that put multiple countries' food on their menu to expand their business' appeal. Shawarma features prominently, with both chicken and beef, as well as different regional variations including the Canadian-ized version with more vegetables, and the more traditional version of just meat, garlic sauce and pickles. On the Yemeni side of the menu, one of the country's most famous dishes is the star - mandi. Traditionally, this would be prepared by cooking the meat above a pot of rice in a tandoor/tannur/tanoor, and since it forms the basis of Tanoor's name, I'm going to assume that's how they do it here as well. For our order, I went with a whole chicken mandi, which includes rice and zahawig hot sauce, and I tacked on an order of tabbouli to add some green to the meal. It was ready for pickup in quick order, just 15 minutes later. The mandi was an impressive sight as takeout, although I'm sure it's even better when plated for dine-in. A red-hued, spatchcocked chicken lay atop a huge mound of warmly-coloured rice, which had seen some saffron and other seasonings itself. The container is one of those large rectangular aluminum trays you see at pot lucks and the like, so this was a LOT of rice. After serving up the plates, we eagerly dug in. The chicken skin lost its crispness while wrapped for takeout, but it and the meat had a warm, earthy flavour profile not dissimilar from Indian tandoori chicken that we're more familiar with. The ultra-tender (and admittedly a bit overcooked) meat fell off the bones. The rice had its own complementary flavours from the saffron and the cardamom seeds that dotted the dish, while the tangy zahawig brought contrast and a hint of spiciness to our meal. I found Tanoor's tabbouli to be more lemon-forward than most that I've had, with a layer of sweetness to balance out the acidity of the lemon juice. Not a wild departure from a well-known dish, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. I may not be out in the Bedford area very often, but Tanoor and many of its neighbours have added a lot to the area's food scene that would have been hard to imagine not that long ago.
