Fresh, tasty food made with such care. Shawarma is one of my favourite foods and it has been missing in my life since moving home to the Valley. What a treat to have such fresh, house made pita. The service was excellent and the whole restaurant is absolutely spotless. They obviously really care about their product AND offering their customers a great experience.
Can't wait to come back.

I ordered a chicken kebab bowl and I didn't realize it was a salad. The chicken tastes amazing, however, there is no rice and it doesn't come with a pita, so there are no carbs. I'm not really sure why it's marketed as a "bowl" because usually those come with some sort of rice or bread. I was very disappointed because I paid $17 for a salad, which was marketed as something different. Mezza's bowls includes rice, pita and salad for the same price. I saw on a sign that the restaurant makes its pita fresh, and was really looking forward to that, and sad the meal didn't include it.

Tried their chicken shawarma and Kafta wraps for the first time. They were amazing! We rarely eat outside because pretty hard to find consistent quality middle-eastern food around. Always miss and hit, so am hoping this isn’t the case here. So far 5/5 for sure! Also the freshly baked bread is amazing in the wrap. Definitely going to go back to try other items.

Food and atomosphere was good, I asked the employee for a napkin and she handed me a paper bag, im not upset about it, and it’s okay, maybe she didn’t understand what I had said, still very great!

My wife and I tried this recently. We spent about 50$ on a couple different dishes. Wasn't our cup of tea and I did not feel the best after eating there. The food really wasn’t good at all. Very blend and tasteless. Nothing to do with being authentic food when it makes you sick and taste very badly.

If you want fresh food and quality this is the restaurant for you. Its so dam fresh and amazing. The food is delicious it will leave you speechless. The chicken shawarma is so good! The fresh made pita is so light and fluffy. This is the only Middle Eastern restaurant you should eat at. 10/10 food and service.

Shawarma was good, mana2eesh is great. But the burger was rubbery, atmosphere can be improved.

Amazing fresh shwarma! Best pita bread around, they make it fresh in house, even use it to wrap your shwarma. Will be going back again and again.

Awesome Lebanese food and only real maanoush bakery in all of Halifax. Family owned and operated with a authentic dishes and some with a twist. You have to come a few times just to try the various dishes and you'll keep coming back for the service.

Oh my goodness have I never felt so good after going out! The food is so clean and authentic that even with digestive issues it felt like I wasn't eating out after. Best pita bread in Halifax no question. Everything about it is perfect from the texture to the fresh steam blowing out when you take a bite. The plates are so filling, healthy, delicious, and the portions are great. As an Arab from Lebanon I can proudly say that the Man'oush is amazing beyond amazing and though I prefer cheese, they are all amazing. It's also the perfect restaurant for someone who is Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Vegetarian, or Vegan because of the plates. I don't care who you are, where you live, or what you like, go down to Saj House for a visit and you won't regret it, I promise.

Not authentic food at all, no Fatayer at all available and uses dill pickles not tastey. Healthy appearance, undercooked chicken kabob taste like water. No season. Hummas is ok and the owner is super nice, so I couldnt complain about anything but I would not recommend ever.

I've never left a restaurant review, but I think I need to in this case.

Everything I've had there has been exceedingly fresh and delicious. Their man'ouche offerings are great, and always generously topped.

My go-to order is their shawarma bowl. As a huge shawarma fan, I have tried my fair share of shawarma offerings around the HRM. This place stands out.

The bowl contains a significant amount of food. I can eat a lot, but I typically have leftovers when I order this. It definitely feels like a good value for the cost. The chicken is tasty, and is not overly thin or crumbly, or greasy, as some shawarma shops offer.

The salad is particularly note-worthy. It's called a "garden salad" on the menu, but is much more similar to a Persian salad. There is no lettuce in it, which I really appreciate. It's small cubes of cucumber, tomato, green bell pepper, and thinly sliced radish, lightly dressed with a vinaigrette-seeming dressing. The veggies are always fresh.

I typically order this with a pita on the side, and they are likewise impressive!
They are made in-house, and are always fresh. They are more billowy/thick than a store-bought pita, but are soft and delicious in their own right.

I also love the hummus here. It's thick and smooth, and is not made with canned chickpeas (as is common-place) but rather, through cooking and processing dried chickpeas in-house. This extra effort makes for a noticable difference in overall taste.

The attention to small details in quality and production techniques are very evident here. As well, the staff are always efficient and friendly.

We went at closing time, and they provided us with food. We wanted a shawarma, but because it was not available so they provided us with a different dish for the same price.

Really clean, goad and food and service. The owner is really nice and courteous. We had a cheese pizza and shawarma bowl. Both were really good. Highly recommended.

This place is awesome. I got veggie za'atar and the bbq mix plate. It was tasty, I thought the rice would be bland, nope delicious, I had enough food for two days, BEST TWO DAYS EVER. I recommend

Have only ordered their hummus & beet hummus & fresh, hot pita for a snack in at Village Taphouse, but it was all delicious, so I'm anxious to order more & it will be soon.

If I may suggest, in order to take advantage of folks in the Taphouse looking for snack food: Saj House owners might want to add to menu a take out mid-east snack option of hummus, cheese, pita bread, olives, etc. I think this would be a big hit for patrons of Village Taphouse & Saj could make a mint on it!

Lebanese cuisine with innovation and, a flair. New location off Larry Uteck. But I'll drive all the way there to get that yummy food. New additions to the menu too!
