My niece and I had lunch at Usta today. A first time for both of us, and we certainly weren't disappointed. I told our server that I had heard about them via word of mouth, and I would certainly be spreading the word among my friends. Beth had a falafel wrap with lentil soup, and I had the garlic chicken lunch combo, which included soup, rice, salad, and baklava Everything was delicious and I would highly recommend this "hidden gem" to all my friends.
I have never felt compelled to go online & rate a restaurant or any establishment for that matter, until now. We were quite simply delighted with every part of our meal, the exceptional service & the welcoming atmosphere of the decor & mostly, the staff. A must try & a definite do again & again. Dartmouth has a best kept secret & it is Usta.
The food at Usta was ridiculously amazing! Although tucked away in a far corner of Dartmouth, it is absolutely worth meticulously following directions to get there. Keep in mind that there is more than enough food in their set menu to feed two adults. We will definitely be back and recommend Usta to all of our friends passing through Dartmouth/Halifax.

Great little spot, a hidden gem as you can't see it from the road.
The waitress is amazing, and the best way to sample is to try the $31 dish.
Definitely will come back again ^_^
Everything was top notch from the environment, menu, food, prices, to the wait & kitchen staff. Certainly, a place to go back to!
Amazing kebabs and great vegetarian options on the menu as well! Great service and staff! I highly recommend eating here as I always go back.
Excellent fresh food, not a fan of lamb but the chicken and fish dishes excellent, beet salad amazing, dessert to die for, certainly a hidden jem in Portland Hills Plaza. Excellent service,
Wonderful food for great value. I never had Turkish food or lamb before and I now have a new favourite. I had the set menu. The appetizer plate was generous and delicious, and the main course was even better. Good way to try many of the items on the menu.
This is the greatest place in Nova Scotia to get Turkish and Mediterranean food period. No other turkish restaraunt compares in the amount of care goes into these dishes or has as clean of a kitchen.
Hidden gem is right. Consistently good food. Baklava to die for. Very friendly staff and owner.
My sister and I dined here tonight - we both had been to this lovely establishment before but not together, so this was a nice treat! We had a very relaxed meal, while playing a couple hands of cards and enjoying salad, and our entrees and then desserts - along with Turkish tea. The rice pudding and Baklava are both delicious, so get both if you can, it's hard to choose! I ordered the Moussaka, which is a favourite of mine and something I make at home...Usta's Moussaka is amazing! The staff is attentive and friendly, and we didn't feel rushed during our time there. We will be back :)
Absolutely delicious! Every dish full of flavour. Service excellent. A hidden jewel in Cole Harbour.
I'm not much for reviews normally but what a wonderful find Usta was. The food was outstanding and the staff very friendly. I can't recommend it enough. Can't wait to go back.
The food, atmosphere and service was simply amazing. Great place to dine with some awesome food, great owners and superb staff...the smiles were free!
More people need to know about this place, amazing food! Had to wait a little while for the meals to come out, but have a glass of wine and relax, it's well worth the wait. Had the yogurt kebab...incredible flavour, and finished with a great baklava. We're coming back!
We've been to Usta several times and have never been disappointed. Love the decor, adore the food. We live in downtown Hali and literally drive past two other Turkish restaurants to get to Usta. Nuffield said�

Fabulous food, great service!!! Highly recommended!!!
Tucked away but worth discovering!
