"Did a food review on the Novalea kitchen market, which allows other businesses to come in and use the space . I seen a post on social media about comfort Halifax That runs their business there. I had the chicken tacos and Ramen. The tortillas were crispy and cheesy and chicken was tender and flavorful. It also came with Ajou sauce and homemade guacamole. It was a chicken Ramen with red onion, cilantro, and a carrot it was. There was so much chicken had a tiny bit of kick to it. It was full of flavor. I actually went there for the beef tacos, but they were sold out. Check out the full review on my TikTok channel. Shaneandersonhfx"
