A true gem of Halifax’s food scene, Ray’s Lebanese Cuisine has been a family-run restaurant delighting locals with homemade dishes for decades. Known for its rich garlic sauce, grilled meats, and traditional shawarma wraps, Ray’s offers simple yet deeply comforting Lebanese meals made from scratch daily. The restaurant is run by the Khattar family, who have kept their father’s recipes alive through dedication and love for authentic cooking.

Ray’s is more than just a restaurant — it’s a meeting place for the Lebanese community and a bridge to the broader Halifax public. Locals often describe the experience as “dining at a friend’s kitchen,” where every plate tells a story of migration, family, and flavor. For newcomers craving a taste of home, or Canadians eager to explore true Lebanese cuisine, Ray’s remains one of Halifax’s most beloved culinary landmarks.
