HALAL SUMMARY
The owners of this restaurant are Muslim and have confirmed its halal status.
★☆☆☆☆ The owner didn't return a Salam when called and he has a crucifix as well as the statue of Mary right on his counter. He's obviously a Christian as we say there waiting for our order a few older Christian women(wearing crosses on neck) from Lebanon came in and greeted the owner with kisses on cheeks (def. not Muslim behavior). My husband asked him if the meat is zabiha halal and he said yes. Wa'Allahu Alim we didn't feel like it was. Posted on June 8, 2013
★☆☆☆☆ I will let my experience speak for itself. Walked in and said salams to the man at the counter and he said "HI". Thought it was odd but as there are few Muslims around so well..... Ordered my meal, while I was eating I started glancing around and noticed a fairly large catholic statue of Mary with a crusifix drapped over it sitting prominantly on top of a cooler box by the speakers(I swear you are welcome to go check it for your self). I do not know if this place has changed hands or the owner is just really trying hard to "fit in" but I have not felt good about eating the OK shwarma and burgers since. Posted on November 27, 2009
