We were in Yarmouth visiting my brother and thought we would try Jake's Family Restaurant as we always try to support the smaller businesses when possible.
The staff was super helpful, friendly and nice which is why I am giving this a 2 star instead of a 1 star. Please note this review is based on the food taste, flavour and quality of what I had which was a chicken shawarma salad.
Please note that I do not like leaving poor reviews but I need to be honest about my experience. Also please keep in mind that I am comparing this to authentic Lebenese food and quite honestly this should not be called Lebanese food as authentic shawarma is tender, juicy and bursting with flavour. The chicken was dry, and did not taste fresh. I think I ate about a 1/3 of the plate (forcefully) as I really do not like wasting food but I just couldn't eat any more even though I was hungry. I also felt the dish was way overpriced for what I got. I paid over $20 for a large salad and a bottle of water that I could barely eat, when in Halifax I can get a full authentic chicken shawarma plate for $11.99 + tax that includes freshly made lentel rice, chicken, tabboulie, toum, hummus, pickles and a whole pita.
I am not sure about the other food they serve as it very well could be good, and I would assume they must serve decent food as this place seemed to be fairly busy but I certainly will not recommend the Shawarma salad.
The staff on the other hand were very helpful and really tried to accomodate my diet which I did really appreciate.
