About Syriana Restaurant
Syriana has become a quiet cornerstone of Hale Barns, anchored by owner Khalid and a team that treats regulars like family. The menu centres on fresh, halal Indian cuisine—diners praise the consistency of dishes, the quality of ingredients, and the care taken in preparation. Coffee and desserts are standout offerings. The space itself is described as cosy and beautiful, with a casual-yet-trendy atmosphere that works equally well for intimate celebrations, family dinners, or a solo meal. Parking is plentiful (free lot and street options), and the restaurant is fully wheelchair accessible. Delivery, takeout, and curbside pickup are available alongside dine-in. The bar stocks beer, wine, and hard liquor, and there are dedicated vegan and vegetarian options. Late-night food is available, though reservations are recommended, especially for dinner.
Syriana Restaurant is one of those places where the dessert menu is not an afterthought — a detail regulars tend to mention first.
