Loved the veggie platter! All vegan. I chose curry rice as my side and fried plantains, stewed cabbage and black-eyed peas as my three veg dishes. Wish I lived in Halifax! Just so delicious. I would be coming every day!Recommended dishesVegetarian Platter, Fried Plantain
In one word, phenomenal. Particularly if you love spicy food. The oxtail is sublime. The jollof rice is spiced to perfection. Ask for a side of hot sauce, you won't regret it! Extremely small eat-in space, so takeout is recommended.
I've been to a handful of african restaurants in my lifetime but none like Mary's African Cusine. The food here was seasoned to perfection and they have a good selection of veggie/vegan friendly options. I ordered the veggie plate 3 curries + rice...plantains are an extra and the veggie roti. Everything was fresh and decently priced. Can't wait to go back soon . Don't forget to ask for a bit of their hot sauce
Where do I even start? This is by far the BEST restaurant I have stepped foot in, in a very long time. My boyfriend and I were in Halifax on a getaway trip. We stopped in for dinner around 6:20pm on Saturday night, not knowing that they were actually closed. We walked in and they offered to still serve us. They were extremely friendly and kind. The food though!!! You guys!!! I have no words for how delicious it was. We enjoyed it so much, that we returned in the morning for their breakfast as well haha. Which was also just as delicious. We had the pleasure of chatting with Mary, herself and some other people that worked there. They are the nicest people. It was lovely chatting with them. I can't wait to go back to Halifax just to eat there again. I'd like to note that the person that commented the 1 star below this review is just a bitter person. When we walked into Mary's the first time, they stated that their dine in was closed to the public due to Covid restrictions. It's not a very big establishment. So there are no restrooms open to the public in this restaurant until they deem appropriate. So Karen, have a seat. Trying to take down a local establishment for having protocols and rules in place is just tacky.
Wonderful place for some authentic African cuisine. Tried the rice bowl veggie bowl with 3 curries and the fried plantain must-try. Mary also has several breakfast options, and is very friendly to talk to and made us feel at home. Place has several vegan options too.
The breakfast was amazing , the porridge was so simple yet amazingly delicious. The lady who served us was really sweet. Thank you for the delicious food and your kind service.
Incredibly delicious food! I wished that I lived closer so that I could visit this place twice a week. Don't miss the plantains. The goat stew was absolutely phenomenal.
This place is fantastic. I just ate the grilled chicken, spicy rice and cabbage. It was amazing, i would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone. There is a wide range of food and the service is quick and friendly. The price is very fair, the portion size is great and the atmosphere was welcoming.
The food tastes amazing! So incredibly flavourful. Even though there was an issue with the online order payment, the staff worked it out and still served us our food. Would definitely come here again!
sooososo good. got the fried plantain, eggplant dish, lentil rice and pumpkin seed and spinach dish. Lots of options for vegans. You get a bit plate of food which is 3 veggie options with one grain. Totally worth it. 100% coming again, can’t wait to try the other dishes they have. Love mary’s and the atmosphere was amazing !!
