I checked out Nova Parlour the latest addition to the many restaurants on Ilford Lane. The cuisine is a fusion with a limited menu that offers a select number of dishes. The decor and interior styling stands out here, dark walls, a striking blue floral ceiling with contemporary fixtures.
Here’s what I ordered and the prices
Starers CRISPY CALAMARI £7 PRAWN TEMPURA £7 Korean Wings £5
Mains HARISSA LAMB CHOPS £14 FIRECRACKER STIR FRY £13 BUTTER CHICKEN PASTA £8 Masala Fries £5 Drinks LYCHEE ROSE COOLER £5.49 PINA COLADA £6.99
The starters were a simple affair, they were cooked well and tasted good and I liked them all, in particular the prawn tempura.
BUTTER CHICKEN PASTA £8
The mains is where the focus is on. The Butter Chicken Patsa caught my eye, I wanted to dislike this dish but I have to admit I enjoyed it. Something I’ve not seen anywhere, but the mix of Indian and Indian worked! 8/10
HARISSA LAMB CHOPS £14
The lamb chops were underwhelming, although cooked nicely and not overcooked, they were standard ones you can get from your local butcher, the let down was the taste. There wasn’t any. Bland and absent of flavour. They seemed like they were not anytime at all and the Spice was just brushed on after they were cooked, as the other side of the chops had no visible appearance of any harisa added. 5/10
FIRECRACKER STIR FRY £13
The firecracker stir fry is a dish inspired by the popular dish from Wagamama. This dish fell short of the mark. I found the sauce unbalanced and too sweet. The chicken and vegetables seemed overcooked and lacked freshness and bite. 5/10
I was impressed with the presentation of the food and the decor of the restaurant. Its early days but this place does have potential. So I want to encourage them to expand the menu and refine some dishes. There are 2 floors and also a private dining room available to hire.
I do have to mention that I really enjoyed the drinks. Made well and tasted great. Recommended.
The restaurant offers a Breakfast, lunch and dinner menu. All food is halal and no alcohol is served. I was invited my food was complimentary.
A new modern and contemporary Indian restaurant located in North London in Whetstone (I’ve never heard of it either)
The restaurant named after the French word for Black has a dark stylish interior to match its name. It’s been open for a few months, the launch did have some hype, I saw it over social media for a week, with fire shows and a very party-like atmosphere, I visited (Invite) on a Wednesday evening after all the initial opening hype has died down. The venue is split over 3 floors, fully halal, and serves no alcohol but does serve shisha.
Here are my honest thoughts on the food..
Small Plates
Chennai chilli prawns £13.50 Similar to dynamite prawns, this dish was good, I liked the contrast between the crispy outer batter and the soft texture of the prawns. The sauce could have more flavour, but overall a solid dish 7.5/10
No Back Chatt £8.50 I liked that the final touches of smashing the chaat and adding sauce were done at the table, the flavours and textures worked really well. 8/10
Kolkota Wings £10.50 Super soft Lollipop chicken wings that almost melted in the mouth. I really liked this dish a pleasure to eat and recommend. I just wish they have more than just 3 wings. 8.5/10
Lahori Lamb Chops £14.50 The quality of the lamb used is evident here, on par with high-end Indian restaurants in Central London. Cooked to a requested medium rare, French trimmed, Thick, soft and tender with the right flavour from the fat cap left on. However, there was a strong acidity and tangy flavour profile which I found overpowering and really let the taste down 6/10
*the dry ice show is only available on the starter platter. I asked if we could get one as it looks cool on reels.
Mains
Butter Chicken £19.50 I like a good butter chicken, however, this dish didn’t have much to like about it. Lacked depth in flavour, no hint of sweetness and overall pretty tasteless. The portion size didn’t reflect the price point. I did like the use of chicken thigh instead of the typical use of breast. 4/10
Cry me a Karahi £19.50 A very underwhelming and lacklustre curry. Completely absent of any flavour and an overuse of peppers and onions to make up for the few pieces of lamb which wasn’t very soft or tender. Not good value for money 3/10
3 Idiot sliders £22.50 Really didn’t like this. A salty wagyu meat curry in a Bao bun. I don’t understand using high-end meat when you just cover the taste with a dominant curry flavour. The meat was super soft but has no business being inside in a Japanese Bao bun. Just didn’t work at all 2/10
Short Rib Biryani £20 An impressive-looking dish. The short rib was delicate and tore apart with minimal effort. It’s a very rich dish and hard for one person to eat, so I recommend this as a sharing dish 7/10
Fresh Lemon and Mint £5 Back in the day I use to get a fresh lemon and mint from Abu Zaad in edgeware Road, it was my favourite drink back then and this rendition was amazing, just look at that generous amount in that big glass. Such a refreshing mix of fresh mint and lemon with just the right amount of sweetness to balance the citrus of lemon. 9.5/10
I didn’t try any of the Mocktails at £7.50, the amount you get looked small and most drinks looked too sweet, my friends that got Mocktails both ordered a lemon and mint after trying mine. That says it all.
Finally, we finished off we some desserts
Pistachio Milk Cake £8.90 Nutella Milk Cake £8.90
While the texture of the Nutella milk cake was more of a sponge cake-like consistency, the flavours were on point, not too sweet with just the right amount of chocolate-infused milk.
The restaurant falls into the category of the new lounge-style restaurants that have been popping, it’s trying to create a boujee or should I say bourgeois, lush atmosphere with the usual dry ice and other Theatrics. There’s pretty loud music on all floors but in particular the bottom. On the day I visit the restaurant seemed to be 20% full with many empty tables.
With the objectively high prices due to the fact that there’s no alcohol to bump up revenues and the luxury decor, I was expecting better from the food, the main courses in particular.
My advice would be to avoid the mains I had and focus on the starters I mentioned as they were good and better value for money.
I normally don’t mention service when I’m invited to a restaurant as staff normally go the extra mile for “influencers” but I need to mention our waiter Joffery, a humble professional that was intentive and friendly while being very professional throughout the service.
I’ve lived around Ilford Lane for a while now, it’s home to loads of halal restaurants but I’ve never managed to visit Watan, I’ve been to the one in Southall around 5 years ago and wasn’t impressed. Every time I go past the one in Ilford Lane there are queues going out the door.
The weather was nice yesterday and we just fed and changed our baby so I said to my wife let’s go for a walk and check it out for lunch.
The menu has a lot of options but I decided to stay on the safe side and try an Afgan Mix grill for £32. I’ll be honest, I wasn’t expecting much from here.. But I was pleasantly surprised!
The kebabs tasted really good, the first bite of each different item was full of flavour and juicy, they have been marinated in well-balanced spices, seasoned well and more importantly not overcooked, something that used to be typical in places like this. Finally, chefs are realising that cooking meat to medium makes it tender, soft and tastes better overall. Also, they don’t remove the fat off the lamb chops, which means you get that flavour hit from your first bite. Lamb chops, lamb tikka, chicken tikka, seekh kebab and reshami kebabs, every item was good
It’s served on a giant naan and comes with 2 types of light and delicate rice. Portions are good, we had plenty of food left over for takeaway.
Overall, for a first-time visit and quick lunch, I was impressed and enjoyed the meal. Lunchtime was good to visit as it wasn’t busy, I see why it’s busy in the evening as there are not many tables, maybe 45 people max. The decor isn’t fancy, modern and clean and the service is basic.
And yes, I know I should have tried the Chapli Kebab. Next Time I will.
All food is halal. No alcohol. No service charge was added. I paid for my meal, not an invite.
Check out this new Fully Halal Italian restaurant in Brick @fioredellamoreuk
The striking decor of hanging flower gardens and colourful flowers on every wall makes this place instagramable.
Bruschetta and Sharing Platter
There’s a fully halal menu and dry bar severing non-alcoholic drinks like Mocktails but also has imported halal wine.
Menus
Drinks Strawberry Bellinis £5.95 really good Mocktail! Pina colds £4.95 not bad. Sparking Wine £5.95 wasn’t to my taste
Starters I went for a sharing platter for £14.95 and sourdough Bruschetta £4.95
The sharing platter looked epic! Its meant for 2 people but the portion size was massive, the sourdough garlic bread was excellent, I also liked the Bruschetta.
Mains
My favourite was the spaghetti bolognese £9.95, a very hearty portion with flavours that worked well, something I’d happy try again.
Also tried a Gnocchi sorreentia £9.95, cooked in a simple tomato sauce.
Carbonara, typically made with pancetta, here turkey rashers are used in this Italian classic. £9.95
Saw some chicken tacos as well which I got, it also came with nachos on the side. I wasn’t too keen on this. £8.95
Finished the meal off with a yummy chocolate fondant and sweet waffle for dessert.
Overall food-wise, while although nothing I had blew me away it’s great to have a new addition to the halal scene that’s not a burger or grill joint. There’s a good range of halal pasta dishes made with halal beef and no wine.
I was invited to review here, meal was complimentary.
Restaurant Roulette Time! I visit a restaurant as a normal customer. No invite. No prior information. Visit anonymously.
@asado_steakhouse is an Argentinian steakhouse with a full halal menu located in Leytonstone (alcohol is present) . “Asado source their beef from Pampas, an area of Argentina famous for its high-quality steak. Every steak comes from Aberdeen Angus cattle reared in the luscious grasslands of Pampas”
This meal was fantastic. The steak I had was brilliant and it’s been a while since I’ve had a steak of this quality and level of flavour. There was a deep richness in taste, probably aided by the fact that the steaks are aged for a minimum of 56 days.
I ordered the 250g Ribeye, for £24.95 it was cooked to a perfect medium-rare as requested. The steaks come with a choice of sauce, I went for a Chimmichuri sauce which went perfectly. The head chef used to work at Gaucho and also has experience working in Michelin-starred Kitchens.
https://www.instagram.com/p/CfmQV-UoXO4/
Also got a lamb shank, served on a bed of mash potatoes and lamb ju, whilst the lamb was tender and cooked perfectly I did find it a little on the bland side, but that’s probably down to the fact I was having a steak that had a lot of flavour, but the lamb shank was still better than many others I’ve had. £17.95
Also got some scallops £9.95 and empanadas (chicken and beef) for starters. The scallops were cooked well, and the garnish and sauce that came with them tasted brilliant and worked perfectly. The beef empanada was our favourite out of the 2. £3 each.
The sweet potato fries were really good, not frozen ones, but freshly made fat wedges. The Mac N Cheese was a bit Meh.
Finished the meal off with a tasty cheesecake for dessert.
I know Steaks maybe are not as popular as a few years ago, but this place is a must. Easily one of the best steaks I’ve had and definitely one of the best steakhouses in London. An absolute gem of a restaurant.
Our waiter who turned out to be the owner was really friendly, and allowed us to use the shisha lounge area to change our baby’s nappy! He’s very knowledgeable about his steaks and cares about good food, not likes and social media.
I paid for my meal. All food is halal. Alcohol is present. Muslim owner.
In general, the food was good, some dishes worked well and some needed work. My favourite items were the Chill Panner, crispy texture in a tasty sauce. The lamb Biryani was enjoyable and had good portions of lamb, it was a bit sticky in texture but I like it like that and the flavours were balanced and tasty.
The butter chicken had velvety smooth sauce and was really tasty, with perfectly cooked chicken and sauce with good depth in flavour. The lamb shank also had a rich and balanced sauce and the lamb fell apart with no effort at all.
The lamb chops however were overcooked, which meant it was tough and chewy. If I was a paying customer I would have sent that back, I could only sample one bite, I didn’t like the taste of the sticky sauce either.
They did serve me a 🥑 chaat that was rotten. Sadly for my wife, she was the victim of soggy nasty avocado and didn’t notice till it was too late. They did take it away and bring me a new one, but it came at the end of the meal so I took it home. The new one with fresh avocado was actually delicious. It’s a shame they got it wrong the first time.
Drinks and food came with a somewhat forced dry ice show for the table, but I’ll take anything that will get me the likes. The drinks were okay, I didn’t like the Elderflower it was bitter but the ocean blue was nice.
Finished the meal with an average freakshake but the chocolate cake wasn’t too bad.
The service was good and overall this is a decent place to check out. It’s more casual lunch/dinner than anything fancy, but there’s a free car park on-site.
Alcohol is served. All food is halal with certification available. My meal was complimentary.
It’s not often I give a restaurant a second chance after a 1st poor first visit, but @haweli.restaurant (located near where I live on Ilford Lane) reached out and wanted me to give them another try so I went on a Friday night and here’s what I got.
Sadly it wasn’t second time lucky, I still found the food below average and wasn’t impressed with most of what I ate.
The mixed grill at over £20 was disappointing, with the exception of the sheesh kebab, every item was bland, hard, dry and suffered from being overcooked, probably due to being served on a hot sizzling plate.
The chappi kebab was nice, crispy exterior, good flavours and nice texture
The chilli panner was poor, with no texture or colour just some Panner tossed with a sweet unbalanced sauce.
I was recommended to try the house special Charsi Chicken, whilst the dish looked impressive, it wasn’t to my taste. I found the raw acidity of the tomatoes create an overpowering flavour and it just tasted like boiled chicken with tomatoes. Avoid.
The poor cooking continued with the Bhindi Masala, a bowl of oily goo that looked like it was made a week ago, the menu described it as cooked in a dry masala. All I could taste was the unhealthy amount of oil, zero taste of Okra. Awful.
I got a lamb handi, while the meat was tender and soft, overall the dish lacked depth in flavour.
The Keema naan was decent but half was burnt and inedible. The saving grace was the kheer it was tasty and very good.
Food is still below average and I definitely won’t ever return, nor would I recommend this place. Much better places for food in the area. Yet it’s still busy. The service was good and the interior is spacious and clean.
I was invited to review. The meal was complimentary.
Last year it’s easy to say that coco in tower Bridge was the biggest and most hyped halal restaurant opening. It stood out as one of the most instagramable places to eat, with its stunning high-end interiors and floral-themed decor.
They recently opened a new restaurant in Lakeside, West Thurrock overlooking the water, but this time offers an Asian-focused menu with influences from Japanese, Indian, Thai and Korean cuisine.
I was invited down and here’s what I thought. I visited on a sunny Saturday afternoon at around 3 pm with my 4-month baby and wife, we were originally sat inside and the restaurant was not too busy, inside the music was a bit too loud for us, so we decided to take the scenic view and dine outside with a view of the lake.
If you have been following me for a while you know that my focus at restaurants is on the quality and taste of the food, I’m not distracted by decor, vibe, fire shows or dry ice…but who doesn’t like a bit of theatre. On a side note, since coco launched, I’ve noticed most similar new restaurants basically look the same, hard to tell them apart sometimes!
I sampled a wide range of menu items, I’m gonna generalise everything but say it was all good, not average but not excellent either, everything would score 6 or 7 out of 10. While there were no significant issues, nothing really kept my tastebuds alive. All the dishes were played safe.
The dishes that worked were the Lamb Biryani which was better than I’d expected, the wagyu bao bun was actually delicious and the fire chilli chicken certainly lived up to its name, it has a lot of heat and was very spicy!
The sushi was probably the most underwhelming dish, I was really expecting better, especially for the price tag. The cauliflower was undercooked and too raw for my taste, but the sauce that accompanied the dish was good. The mixed grill featured some nice cuts of meat, I found one of my chops overcooked and one cooked just right.
This place is more about the decor and vibe with food that’s gonna be just okay. An ideal for a special occasion with a loved one or even a meal with friends.
The drinks menu features a range of non-alcoholic drinks and mocktails, I tried a few and wasn’t that impressed with the premium drinks like the Royal Spirt Dakari at £12.50 didn’t seem worth it to me in terms of taste, however, the classic Pina Colada at £10 was very good.
People will say that the prices are high, however, this happens when a restaurant has this level of decor and doesn’t serve alcohol which generates high margins for all Restaurants.
If the question you are asking is Where Can I get a decent halal breakfast in London, then look no further. From a Halal Full English to the classics like eggs benedict, there are loads of places that offer decent breakfast options. There are 100’s of places to get eggs benedict and other popular non-meat breakfast/brunch’s so I have not mentioned those.
I’ve featured a selection of places I’ve been to. Most of the places are in East London. If you know any more then please comment below or send me an email or tweet.
As best to my knowledge all of the places are either fully Halal or part Halal. However, the menu and suppliers can change without notice so always check ahead.
East London
Pie Factory Ilford
Probably my most visited and a favourite spot for breakfast, always consistent, food standards are high and the prices are very good value for money
My rating – 9.5/10
Coffee Garden
473 High Rd Leytonstone, Leytonstone, London E11 4JU
Here’s a new fully halal and HMC cafe located in North London called @cobblers.cafe
The cafe is cosey and has been decorated nicely with a strong floral theme. The menu has a wide range of popular breakfast and brunch items, I went for the Mediterranean breakfast (£11) American Pan Cakes £12 and Nutella French toast £9.50. The breakfast items were freshly made and good in portion size. I did find the sujuk in the Mediterranean breakfast a little tough and wasn’t the best but they said they are made in-house and not processed. There are also other items available so there are options for everyone.
Querky Cafe
They have 3 locations so we decided to visit the closest one to us in Forest Gate.
When we got there I was a little surprised to find such a small cafe.. However, they told me to walk down the side which lead us to a lovely secret indoor garden dining area.
The menu has the Classic English breakfast as well a low-carb Keto Breakfast option as well and there’s also some brunch options like chicken N waffles.
We went for a Big Breakfast which was actually enough for the 2 of us, all fresh and well made in particular the hash brown. You can also swap out items, we swapped the turkey rashers for grilled Halloumi.
Been a while since I had chicken N waffles and I enjoyed this dish. I was expecting something premade but the waffle and chicken tasted fresh and homemade.
Ordering and payment are done via your phone and the system worked well. The staff were genuinely friendly and the service was good.
There are no fruit juices on the menu and no eggs Royale etc style dishes but, they have smoothies and other options.
I’ll definitely be back again. All food halal. No alcohol. I paid for my meal and was not invited.

Mii Chai Ilford
The place is spacious with good seating and a simple menu. I ordered Full English breakfast £6.99 Desi Breakfast £6.79 Nutella French Toast £4.49 Masala Chips £3.49
The English breakfast was clean and not greasy, they used good quality chicken sausages and the baked beans had a masala twist, however, I wasn’t impressed with the way they dumped the eggs broken and upside down on the plate
The desi breakfast, is an Indian omelette (they sneakily add on 80p if you want one fully loaded) with a choice of roti or paratha.
The French toast was a bit Meh and I wasn’t keen on the masala Chips.
I went for breakfast, but there are loads of other cafe-style foods available.
Here’s a cute cafe right by the water near Victoria Park Hackney/Bethnal Green @bluivycafe is a cafe that has halal options available
We ordered the Vegetarian Full English, French toast and Halal American Fantasy
The food was good and I was impressed with the portion for the pancakes, in particular, the number of halal turkey rashers, there must have been 10 pieces. The French toast had too much Berry compote, it made the bread soggy and overpowered the dish. Really liked the vegetarian English Breakfast, especially the roast potatoes.
The halal full English which I didn’t order is priced at £12.95 which is a bit steep for breakfast food, but you are paying for the picturesque location which looks amazing on a sunny day.
Halal items are clearly labelled. I confirmed with staff who stated, that non-halal items are cooked Separate. As most customers order the halal English breakfast, that’s cooked on the grill and non-halal items are cooked in pans separately from the main grill.
I paid for my meal in full. Not an invite. Went as a normal customer.
One of the first halal breakfast spots to open, i have been going here since 2015, but their standards did drop around 2018,
Forward to 2022 and they are under new management, I decided to go and check them out and things are back to the way things were.
Nothing special here. But the cafe is clean, the portions are big and the food is of a good standard. All breakfasts come with a drink. Just simple and good. As halal breakfasts should be
Another Halal breakfast spot in East London for you today. Last week I checked out @hashtagcafe.london (a recommendation from a follower) located in Seven Kings, Ilford
Full English Breakfast £8 French Toast £7 Sheik kebab Paratha Roll £4 Strawberry and mango smoothie £4
The Best item was the French toast. It’s hard to find this level in East London, it’s something you normally find in Central. The toast was thick, soft and really tasty. The addition of the fruits, mascarpone and maple syrup worked really well. Definitely recommend.
The full English was okay, I wasn’t too keen on the quality of the beef sausages, the mushrooms were bland and one of my eggs was overcooked. However, rather than not say anything as I did with bad eggs from mi Chai last week, I asked for a new egg and this was replaced with no fuss within a minute. The only good element was the hash browns, these were good.
I also enjoyed the paratha roll, a simple low-cost dish that tasted good. There are desi Breakfasts available and maybe I’ll try them another time.
The venue is clean, and modern and has floral elements to help create a nice atmosphere. The service was also good as well.
Overall, a good breakfast spot that’s worth checking out. Free one-hour parking is available outside via ringgo app or park for 90mins in Aldi. Fully halal. I paid for this meal and the staff were unaware of who I was

Westfield Stratford city, Ground Floor, 123 The Street Shopping Centre, London E20 1EN
There’s been a recent trend of new places that have opened that have a lot of theatrics in food presentation, you know the places, dry ice, there’s a lot of it, they use the smoke to cover the average food, but ultimately let you down when it comes to the taste of the actual food…
This is Not one of those places.
@mumbai7.restaraunrt is a New modern Indian eatery that’s just opened up in Ilford/Seven Kings East London.
Upon walking in, one would be forgiven if you thought you had travelled into Central London because of the stylish decor, the open kitchen as you walk in where you can see all the chefs busy at work and the multiple amounts of service staff from, including a host. It’s a welcome sight in East London.
I was invited to give an honest review and headed down with the wife and new baby. Here’s what we got.
Mains Baadshah ka Wagyu Bhuna Steak £16.50 Bollywood Biryani £14.50
Drinks
Pataka £5 Fantoosh £6.50 Nimbu Pani £4 Date & Vanilla Lassi £4
Dessert
Milk-Cake £7
Mango Mastani £7
sharing chaat
The sharing chaat complete with a smokey dry ice show comes with Angoori gol-gappa, dahi puri, sev puri. That gol gappi was the highlight out of the 3. Absolutely delicious
You have never had a samosa like this before. The chef as bought his unique twist on many dishes, here he told me the idea was to recreate a cornetto ice cream, it was even filled with foam to act as the ice cream.
Lamb Chops
The lamb chops, hard to these style of chops East London, good flavour, French trimmed, thick but I found them overcooked for me and the best bit, the fat had been removed. I mentioned this to the head chef, he told me that on opening night they had chops sent back due to them being served medium rare, people wanted them cooked more. I suggested that they ask the customer how they would like their lamb cooked moving forward.
Paanwala chicken
The Paanwala chicken was a unique dish, tender chicken, subtly spiced and smoked with apple and cedarwood chips to infuse the chicken, giving it a smokey flavour. While the chicken had a lovely velvety texture, I think the flavours could be taken up a level.
Wagyu Bhuna steak
The wagyu Bhuna steak was a winner. Braised for 6 hours this delicate piece of meat fell apart with minimal effort, served with a balanced masala sauce. The steak was delicious, you could tell that a lot of love went into this dish, the texture and flavours all worked to create a heading main course. It was also served with masala chips, I found them a bit soft but that was the chef’s intention as a play on steak and mash.

I was surprised with the biryani, the aromatic burst of steam when it was cut opened released memories of a mum’s homemade eid special. This dish was great, the lamb was soft and cooked perfectly and the rice was light and delicious – a fantastic biryani and tasted even better the next way as we had loads of leftovers.
The drinks here are fully non-alcoholic and display some creativity and do not offer the usual sugary Mocktail you find in every halal restaurant in East London.
Pataka was an elegant Raspberry, Elderflower with non-alcoholic halal Champagne.
Fantoosh is the fancy one you order for those Instagram likes. Lemongrass, Lychee, and Cherry topped with Rose Petal Tea that comes with a little theatrical dry ice show. I found that flavours slowly reduced quickly, so it was nice at first but after a while, the taste wasn’t strong enough.
Nimbu Pani, this was a twist on the classic. The addition of chaat masala really added a surprise tang to the drink. It’s gonna be one you either like or hate due to the intense flavour, it means it will last you all night as you can only take small sips.
To finish the meal we have desserts. Apna Bidu Ka Milk-Cake, with Marbled chocolate cake, white chocolate cream and chocolate mousse. This milk cake was different to the classic that you find everywhere, whilst the overall flavour wasn’t very sweet, the texture was brilliant and very light.
Mango Mastani Mango falooda, sorbet, saffron noodles, nuts, shahi – tukda. This layered sundae like dessert was fun to eat. Loads of different textures and elements gave each spoonful a different experience with every bite. I very much Rd liked this unique and playful creation.
Overall, I was very impressed and had a great dining experience. There’s a balance of thought out and well-executed dishes that focus on delivering in flavour and taste, all while creating a theatrical dining experience with the dry ice element, decor and high-end service.
This is a welcomed addition to the East London halal food scene. It’s suitable for any occasion, date night, girl’s night or dinner with the family. Some of the prices of dishes don’t match the portions, but I don’t have many complaints here. I enjoyed the food and definitely will be back.
All food is halal, no alcohol served, free street parking outside with no restrictions
