The food is a 5 for takeout and delivery. Call ahead by an hour, these guys are busy but the food I awesome. The chicken pizza was different than your usual. The location is not that great of a place if you're from out of town... I would go back for takeout anytime.

Chicken pizza was $14. Neighborhood was sketchy and shop does not look like a sanitary place to dine. We normally go to pizza hut and get pizza in $10 with a nice place to eat. Compare this place with pizza hut and you know the difference. I do not recommend this dirty place

It's kinda in the ghetto, and not the cleanest place to sit and eat at. But the food is excellent (for Buffalo). The chicken hoagie is my favorite. Steak hoagie is also good. The Dullie Burgers are good and worth trying... But very beefy. So if you like a lot of meat, then you'll like it.

Salaam alaikum to everyone who serves the good halal food at this place. Yes the area isn't the best but it's buffalo, not The Hamptons. The people are so kind and the food is AMAZING. A Muslim friend of mine took me here and I fell in love with this place. I believe I ordered the chicken and steak hoagie and it was just delicious. 5/5 ALL DAY.

The steak hoagie was really really good! I bought extra and warmed it up and ate it for two days afterwards and it was still very tasty! The chicken wings were nothing special. I was expecting more from a Buffalo restaurant since it is the birthplace of the chicken wing but there are many much better wings restaurants in the city...but they are not halal. So if you want to go to Buffalo and say you ate their wings then it seems this is your only halal choice. The seating area was nothing special either, very basic. Food preparation took very long. I strongly suggest calling in and pre-ordering. On a very annoying note, while we were sitting in the dinning area a lady came up to us asking for money. She asked all of the patrons at the restaurant to buy her some food or drinks. Seeing that most of the patrons at the restaurant were Muslims their very pious nature meant they did buy the woman some food and drinks. But the woman was loud, and obnoxious and ruined our dinning experience. There was also a 12 year old kid with her who was trying to sell us marijuana! I really wish the employees at the Hot Spot would have intervened and kicked the bums out but they did nothing at all. Overall, the steak hoagie was awesome and I will go back there for them BUT I will cal ahead and order take out and eat it someplace else!

I visited this place on a trip to nyc and it's a good restaurant. The folks are very friendly. The restaurant is run by recent Bangladeshi immigrants and these folks are warm and welcoming. The food was very good, we ordered the wings with the sauce on the side, a burger with stuffed peppers, a chicken hoggie, and a medium pizza which I was pretty sure was a large in my home state! The pizza toppings could use a tiny bit more but everything was fresh and warm and oh so good. I wish we could have had something like this in my home state.. Do stop by...it's worth the money which btw, was very very reasonable. I'll definitely be coming back.

I eat from here all the time! Great fast food. Chicken hoagy is the best! Chicken wings are very good! They have home cooked food, you would have to ask:) 100% zabiha and are honest Muslims alhamdilillah. Love it here! Best food and most trusting halal menu in buffalo. I correct myself zabiha for sure!

We were in Buffalo for a shopping trip, we stayed down town and this place is 10 min drive from down town. Sitting area is clean, and you can stay and have your food there. Take out I suggest call ahead and order since they prepare everything fresh it takes about 20 min for order (I ordered 4 items) Wings, most awesome wings at a halal place Pizza, ordered medium pizza, which is like a large pizza anywhere else. topping was scarce but pizza was delicious Steak Gyro, wow, my first time trying a gyro and it was great, so much steak meat with delicious sauce fries, fresh and yummy All in all, best experience, it did not cost a lot either. only 26$ US. any other place for all this food plus a 2ltr pepsi would be more than that,

Stopped by on our way home from Canada on Christmas Day. Alhamdulillah the brothers were open while other Muslim owned restaurants were closed. Go figure. Got the 20 piece wing. Very tasty and cooked well done as ordered.

I stopped here with my family while passing through Buffalo on a road trip. We found it on zabihah.com. They have a prayer area, which was very convenient. The owners are a little rude and not too helpful if you ask about the menu, but that may partially due to them not speaking English too well. We got there a few minutes before maghrib, and they were very abrupt with us since they wanted to close up shop to pray. The menu features no descriptions, just names, so we did not know what any of the arab items were (in addition to the american food, they have a bunch of arab food). We wanted to try the burgers, but they said they take 30 minutes to prepare, and we did not have that much time. The positive thing is that they are fresh, and not frozen patties. We ordered the chicken wings, which were amazing. It more than made up for the drawbacks which I have mentioned. My wife ordered the chicken hoagie, which I didn't care for too much but she liked. It is very difficult to find zabihah american food, and I will definitely return for the wings when passing through Buffalo again. I am giving it an above average rating since despite the service, the wings were well worth it.

As salaam ua laykum. Allahu Akbar! By the mercy of Allah ta'ala, this place was great and may Allah reward all of the brothers who work there for providing 100% zabihah halal food that is familiar to Muslims born in the US. We have been there twice and we had the cheeseburgers, cheeseburger subs, and the pepperoni pizza and it was all delicious every time. When the brother found out that we were traveler's from out of town, he even gave us some food free. There are a few tables inside to sit but carry out is what they do best. The brother ensured me that all of the meats were 100% zabihah halal so please visit the brothers and may Allah reward us all.

Stay away from this place! Stopped here one evening to pick up food for the fam. Came home and opened up uncooked food. Ugh! Called to complain but apparently they do not understand English, refused to give a credit!

Owned by a known Muslim who prays at the the masjid regularly. Serves only halal meat. UPDATE: Ownership has changed, but it is still halal. The prices are reasonable, servings good size. The pizza & wings are delicious! Same with the steak hoagies. We order regularly & they have always delivered within 30 minutes (we are only a couple miles away). I highly recommend this eatery.

Pros: The food is absolutely halal. No alcohol served. Very low price. Tasty food. Muslim owned and operated. Cons: Not exactly 'fast' food. In a ghetto area. My suggestion - Try the philly steak and cheese sub!

Its great food. few problem that i have with there business. I called in my order where they told me that it will be done in 10 mins. i got there 25 mins later and it still wasn't done. top of that they weren't busy at all. I order there special where you buy 2 subs and get fries for free they ran out of them. They also didn't have wings. It was a Saturday. One of there busy day.
