Wow! This was quite possibly one of the BEST meals I've ever had and I'm from Los Angeles, CA where we get great food! It's not true that only the goat is halal so maybe that is outdated info. We confirmed with Chef Ahmed Obo that all meat Beef, chicken, lamb, etc are all halal. It says so also on the bottom of the menu. Except the chicken tenders on the kids menu are not halal (and that's marked on the menu too that those are not halal). Anyways Guy Fieri was here so you know it's fire. The jerk chicken was bomb. The peanut coconut curry was out of this world. Wow we are just passing through but now I wish I lived in Santa Fe I'd eat here every week lol
Only goat meat is Halal! They only have 1 specialty platter which has goat meat only. It s Caribbean Goat Stew for $13.95+tax. I tried it and it is just another Asian meat curry with carrot and potato. Nothing special and I didn\'t like it. I also tried their Cumin French Fries for $4.95 and it was alright. They do have some vegetarian and sea food dishes but everything else is not Halal. I may come back to try their sea food dishes but will not make a special trip. Staff was friendly and plenty of parking was available.
