Satisfaction Feast

I am sad… it seems this beautiful little place Ive known for nearly 20 years… is no more. What a loss. I feel sick at heart

Outstanding. That’s all I can say.
Wound up at Satisfaction Feast for lunch on discovering that Jerusalem Café was closed on Friday due to a death — the owner, apparently? Lunch special was a naan pizza with butternut squash, spinach, and feta. It was divine — flavourful, filling, delicious. It was a perfect day to sit on the patio in the sun, and I’ll be back as a result, because so many things there look amazing.

I don’t think I have ever been dissatisfied with a meal here– I guess that is why the name of the restaurant is so perfect. I also used to work right next-​door to Satisfaction when I worked at a wine bar on Grafton. Then was pleasantly surprised when it popped open in its new location 1 block away from my townhouse. Hello cravings, I drive by this place every single day.
This location is warmer, brighter and bigger, but still gives a nod to his humble roots and un-​cluttered style of décor. You will feel at home as soon as you walk in.
Their daily burgers, dahl soup, and amazing vegan french toast never leaves your belly empty. Samosa dinner is a fan favourite between my family and friends who know this veggie hot spot well.
To me satisfaction always feels more like a spiritual experience than just another place to fill a hole, their amazing books, take-​away quote cards and all other this Sri Chinmoy fill your soul as you dine.
«simplicity is an advanced course» –Sri Chinmoy and so are too are the complexities of flavours housed in the under-​rated neighbourhood gem.

Satisfaction Feast was the first vegetarian restaurant I ever ate at, which was at a time when I was just turning vegetarian. I was a ridiculously closed-​minded eater then, and opted for mashed potatoes. They were damned good mashed potatoes, though.
After a few months, though, my palette opened up to lots of wonderful international dishes, and SF helped me tremendously. I tried curries, samosas, and a heap of different, new food there, and almost every dish was incredible. Every time I was in the city I made the effort to make it to SF, regardless of how annoying it must have been to my parents :)
Fast forward a few years, and I was attending college just a couple blocks away. By this time, I was vegan, and sooo stoked to be so close to SF. I had lunch there at least twice a week (alternating with Just Us Barrington and occasionally Paper Chase Café). I came to know the owner, Sarita, and she knew my face. That’s always a great feeling when the business knows who you are.
Sadly, they have moved to the North End, which I find a little too out of the way most of the time (I’m a walker for the most part). But, I still make the effort to make it there when I can.
My latest visit I tried the Tofu Salad, which was incredible! Deliciously prepared tofu, lots of yummy greens, and an amazing dressing.
My girlfriend, who is a relatively new vegetarian (about 2 years), ordered a BLT and dahl soup. She is very picky with the food she eats, as I once was, but she absolutely loved it. The bread was store made, the ‘bacon’ was vegetarian (however a vegan option was available), the mayonnaise was made from soy and was of course, vegan. She hadn’t had a BLT in about 2 years, and absolutely adored the food she received at Satisfaction Feast, a complete win seeing as the places we go are either hit or miss for the picky eater.
Always great service, excellent food, and it’s been around forever. A definite winner in the Halifax Vegetaian/​vegan dining scene.

After twelve-​ish years of being a vegetarian, I’ve really gotten used to only having three or four options on any given menu. That worked for me. It kept my eating impulses focused, elevating all of my other senses in the process. (Not true.) So when I visit restaurants where every option is vegetarian or vegan, I get a little overwhelmed. And that’s what happened at Satisfaction Feast… From Indian specialties to sandwiches, wraps, burgers and samosas, I got a little shell-​shocked and decided to go with something I knew I wouldn’t be able to get anywhere else: the vegetarian BLT, made on homemade, thick-​as-​hell bread with soy bacon.
Now, I won’t even pretend that the bacon was a substitute for the real-​deal, but it gave the sandwich a nice flavour that I’ve been missing after years of the most exciting thing found on my sandwiches being hummus or tzatziki. I’d agree with other reviewers in saying that nothing about it was mind-​blowing, but it was definitely good comfort food. The Dahl soup on the side, however, was pretty special. Thick, flavourful and heart-​warming!
Another homemade specialty that’s worth pointing out is their blend of Ginger Tea, sweetened with maple syrup. I’m not sure I’ve ever had anything quite like it. It was tasty with that warm hit of ginger and an almost lemony sweet finish… which I know makes absolutely no sense. Go try it yourself and see if you can do the flavours some justice!

Great food although a little bland. They get extra points for portion sizes though. I AM STUFFED!!! However, I’ll probably do another review at a later date since the meal we had here wasn’t a normal menu item.

NOT on Grafton Street as shown on Unilocal.They moved over a year ago to North Halifax @ 3559 Robie Street,
That said, we ended up going, and loved it. Had wonderful dal soup and veggie burgers for lunch. Yummy.

Because of Lacey’s review of the Peanut Butter Balls, we had to stop in here to grab some for the way home.
We did not eat here on this occasion, however, The Peanut Butter Balls are mouth watering delicious.
OMG — That is all we have to say.

Three words: Peanut Butter Ball.
Holy señorita, these succulent, rich, dense dreams are as satisfying as they are dangerous, sending you into sugar high realms you scarcely knew existed.
I like to pick up these treats as Planet Organic whenever I get the chance. They run at a steep $ 3, but I manage to make the commitment every now and then. I know Satisfaction Feast offers much more than Peanut Butter Balls, but to tell you the truth, it’s been quite some time since I visited that I don’t really remember the menu in its entirety.
I do know that the service can be a little odd, as they bring out the dishes as they’re prepared, instead of serving all members of a group simultaneously. Nevertheless, this review really hinges entirely on treats.
They also have another spherical goody, featuring sesame seeds and honey, equalling a less intense experience than its more dramatic sister. It runs around the same price, as is definitely worth a try if you have yet to experience its glory.
So, my review hinges on my lust for squash ball sized treats. They really are divine. Give them a try next time you’re in the North End, or on your next stint at Planet Organic. You’ll swoon, I swear.

Satisfaction Feast was the first vegan /​vegetarian restaurant I tried in Halifax. Since my initial visit, its moved locations but maintains the same calm and reflective atmosphere in its North End venue.
Treats and heartfelt dishes to fulfill most appetites. Whether you’re vegan, vegetarian or otherwise, SF can swoon nearly anyone with their rich, feel good approach to food.
I would’ve opted for 5 stars if there were more gluten free opportunity. While I can still navigate the menu and find lots to like, a little bit more gluten free would be nice for the main dishes. My fail-​proof formula for SF is salad, soup and sweets. A little avocado and some tahini vinaigrette can really do wonders to a veggie topped salad. Hot, cold, sweet or spicy– the salads are all delicious. I’m also a huge fan of the the carob and peanut butter balls, usually taking a few to go. I don’t think I need to elaborate.
Its a wholesome spot to eat, detailing in delicious. Pricing is very affordable. I’ll keep holding on for a few more gluten free options, however the treats alone are enough to keep my interest.

I always enjoyed my meals here. I’m never disappointed or amazed rather I see it as vegetarian comfort food. Unfortunately it’s new location in the north end of Halifax is less convenient than where it used to be on Grafton Street but if you have a car this isn’t an issue.
They are a vegetarian and vegan-​friendly place run by followers of the late guru Sri Chinmoy. There are restaurants in Toronto (Anna Purna), New York, San Fran and all over that are operated by his peeps. They sell books on enlightenment and inner peace, overcoming depression and other obstacles. The walls are covered with paintings of birds by Sri Chinmoy which he was famous for. It’s worth reading the wiki about him. In that sense, it is probably the only restaurant in Halifax that has an obvious spiritual feel to it.
It’s a nice place to go to have soup and sandwich or a late brunch although make sure you have some time because service can be on the slower side. The atmosphere is very casual although the staff sometimes dress in saris. They also sell frozen take-​out items like burritos and soups but in the past I never found them to be that stellar, although it was nice to have as a back up during my student days. For dinner, I would recommend the samosa dinner which comes with a dahl soup.

One of my favorite vegetarian/​vegan restaurants. Reasonably priced, and classy food. Also the new location is a much nicer space than the last one. I live in the Boston area but anytime I’m in Halifax I make sure to stop here.
You should get the neatloaf, iced chai, and lemon square for dessert.
They have frozen food available too.
They ARE associated with some kind of guru figure but they’re not pushy or cult-​y about it.
