A little about this place
About 902 Catering Halifax
902 Restaurant & Catering is a halal Syrian and Mediterranean restaurant on Dresden Row in downtown Halifax. The wide menu ranges from hummus, sambusa and mixed mezze to Syrian kebabs, lamb chops, roasted lamb shank, shawarma, stews, fried chicken, seafood and kunafa, with substantial catering options. The restaurant presents a cozy, traditional setting with standard tables, private family areas and floor-style seating.
Positive reviewers praise grilled meats, lamb chops, hospitality and the distinctive decor. Recent low-rated reviews more often question consistency: waits, uneven service, burnt or stale-tasting items, and portions that some diners consider small for the price. Google Maps lists a washroom and wheelchair-accessible washroom, family-friendly seating, Wi-Fi and paid parking. No reliable recurring washroom-cleanliness pattern was found, and Halal Food Pass has not inspected the facilities.
