NR Amazing food! Highly recommend this place! Posted on December 17, 2017 |

NR I am updating my review from April 3rd 2017. The original owner had sold the restaurant to a new owner who has been getting up to speed with the restaurant and customer service industry. Since being open, the menu has changed but many of the core items that made the restaurant so popular are still available. The cost-value has decreased compared to the previous owner but they have added East-African treats and appetizers which is nice. Posted on September 27, 2017 |

★☆☆☆☆ Worst restaurant in the entire state of Florida. I ordered at 4:30pm and the guy said to come in 30 minutes to pick up the order. I come at 5:00pm and the guy made me wait an HOUR to get my food!!! I left at 6:00pm with my food in my hand. I totally got mislead with the reviews (guessing it was good with previous owner). Food was extremely expensive where the Philly Chease Steak costed $12+ Tax. Chicken Wings costs $1+ Tax for ONE WING!!! Food wasn't as previous review states. It was less in porportion compared to the price he charged me. And the guy is really sketchy where if your order costs $50, he will put $30 as food and $20 as tip (assuming trying to scam taxes). Unhealthy environment, and not welcoming at all!! Avoid this place as much as possible. Posted on September 24, 2017 |

★☆☆☆☆ Don't eat here. Whatever you do, avoid this place like the plague. We were mislead by all the awesome positive reviews and went there with high hopes and empty bellies. Big mistake. After a 10 am flight this was the closest halal place to the Sanford airport so we thought we'd give it a try for lunch and ordered the ribeye steak and chicken mushkaki, thinking there's no way it can go wrong, those are the most popular items on the menu. Boy, were we wrong. After 45 minutes of waiting we got one small tray of steak with a tiny mound of rice. Now I'm a tiny person, but this food was even too little for me. Okay, it's okay, a size small is $5 and a large is $10. We continued to wait for the chicken and after the 45 minutes became over an hour the chicken mushkaki finally made it to our table. I could see my husbands face darken-there was four sticks of tiny chicken chunks on a bed of fries. Okay, maybe it tastes amazing and will make up for the portion size and time. Nope. I think maybe the cook but it on and forgot about it for the entire hour. It was like eating sawdust covered in hot sauce. Here's the cherry though-when we went to pay the cook he told us the prices on the menu were "old" and the new prices are more expensive. So we payed more than the asking price for terrible food that took forever to make. If that's something you enjoy, then by all means eat here. If you're normal, then run away. Far, far, away.

★★★★★ this is a real casual place..... the one thing u gotta have is the "pizza philly" its a cheesesteak with real steak slices overflowing then topped with fresh halal pepporoni..and bake with a layer of hot bubbling mozzarella Posted on May 3, 2012 |

★★★☆☆ they offer a lot of pizzeria style foods, they do try to accomodate each and every request, but sometimes, they use prepared products a bit too much, and sometimes the packaged products are not of the best quality and it tastes rightly so, don't get me wrong, some items like philly steak is top notch, but other items with meat fall flat..please improve meat quality..thanks.

★★★★☆ Great Service Amazing Gyro Steak w/ Fries Posted on March 11, 2012 |

★★★★★ Amazing food and such sweet owners! They are always willing to bend over backwards to make their customers' experience a memorable one. Prices are reasonable for the portion size. Their chicken mishkaki, ribeye steak, and chicken wings are to die for! Posted on January 14, 2012 |

★★★☆☆ Iam a regular and the pizza is a good deal can't go wrong. Posted on December 26, 2011 |

★★★★★ had the burger was great..pizza was also good with big chunks of meat Posted on August 27, 2011 |
|
|
★★★★★ This place may not be in the best area but the owners are very kind and the food is excellent. I personally enjoy the t-bone steak, but everything on the menu is delicious. I hope people go there more often to support the place, I'd hate to see them go out of business. Posted on August 21, 2011 |

★★★☆☆ not as good as it once was at their old place, but not bad at all either, but the fact remains, they were better, i hope to see them return to their glory days...i will still visit and support them, as they work hard, and are very hospitable and friendly...just the food could use a little work these days. Posted on July 12, 2011 |

★★★☆☆ i have to question the quality at times...i was hopeing for the meat options to be homemade from fresh ground beef such as the italian foods but it was nothing more than packaged meat which was full of soy and fillers and quite honestly if you split it up..did'nt look like meat at all...please use fresh ground beef and make homemade italian foods and bake them properly..otherwise it is difficult to make a return visit..i mean we can go to the halal freezer section ourselves and open up a package of thrifty meat, why come here then?

★★★★★ There food was excellent!!

★★★★★ The food at this place is amazing to say the least. Their specialities are: chicken wings, rib eye steak and philly cheese steak. Lately, they have been watering down their spicy sauce, which is not a good thing, but if you tell the owners, they can make it thicker like they used to before. The owners are very nice people and do everything within their means to make the customers happy. The also make sure everything is done according to Shariah. Posted on July 18, 2010 |

★★★★☆ ...the calzones are really big and enjoyable..the owners are very friendly and treat you like guests..(at least during my visit)..the prices are very reasonable..in line with what you would expect to pay at the non-halal counterparts..if you like western itailian style food..this is probably the best halal one in town as they do offer some unique items that other american style halal places in town haven't caught on to just yet.

★★★★★ Awesome place in Orlando, it is about 15 minutes from Down town and 30 minutes from the Parks. My family and I visited tonight being here on vacation, Muslim owner and almost all costumers are Muslims from local places. No alcohol and good food at a a reasonable price. The food is good and there are choices available including Italian and American foods. If you are in town you should try this place make sure you call for directions since it is not very centrally located Posted on May 15, 2009 |

★★★★★ We ordered Philly Cheese steak, Rib steak and chicken wings .. all were great, good portions and price was good, not pricey. The owners were friendly, it is a great family restaurant and has many tables. I noticed that all local muslims eat here. I will visit this resturant every time I go to Orlando.

★★★★☆ This food is clean and has very friendly staff. Their burgers are good but their pizza greatly lacks meat. They need to add some more to make their customers happy. We tried their pizza couple of times but didn't like the idea of paying for meat pizza while getting an almost cheese pizza. Posted on January 5, 2009 |

★★★★★ These guys have the best food, period!!!. You even have lots of non-muslims coming here for their FAMOUS Philly Cheese Steak and chicken wings. Apart from the lip-smacking food, the place is very hygienic (unlike a lot of other halal places!). The owners are really there to make it a great experience. This place is a little way off from the theme parks (1/2 - 1 hr), but it is so worth the drive. THE BEST HALAL IN FLORIDA!!! Posted on August 13, 2008 |
