HALAL SUMMARY
This restaurant has been reported to be halal by our readers but is still unverified.
★★★★☆ This is a typical Middle Eastern convenience store + restaurant that also happens to have some fast food options. The convenience store is in the basement and the restaurant on the first floor.
The ambiance is poor but about par with similar establishments. Service is particularly poor, especially if you come during rush hour. There were two people serving when I went there around noon but one of them seemed to be cooking something in the backdrop and not actually contributing to service. The other lady was working pretty fast but it was obvious it wasn't a one person job with the load they had.
Having said that, the food is fantastic. I got a chicken plate with rice and vegetables and it was all delicious. I actually could have just had the vegetables they were that good. The taste should also work well for most palettes, not bland but not too spicy either.
I will definitely be visiting this place again despite the aforementioned issues but will probably try to avoid lunch time rush. Posted on August 15, 2017
★★★☆☆ I'm not sure if everything is halal here. I couldn't get a satisfactory answer, so i just ordered veggie toppings. It was average. Posted on October 24, 2010
