Check out this awesome authentic Mexican 🇲🇽 Restaurant that has a full halal food menu!

Keep reading to find out how you can yet 15% discount!

@mexicassa337 is a lovely restaurant located in Stratford that has been open for about a year, filling a gap for Halal Mexican restaurants available, furthermore, this place is proper Mexican, not Tex-Mex, oh and everything on the food menu is halal!

I ordered a lot of food (more than I’d could eat in one sitting) without realising the large portions of some dishes. I have to say, I really enjoyed the food and atmosphere here. It really has a place that feels like it’s made for locals who like good food and fun times.

So, let’s have a look at what I ordered. First of all, the menu has loads of items and a lot of things were unknown to me, lucky I got some help from the service team who helped me out. Shared TOTOPOS (NACHOS), Hand-cut crispy fried corn tortillas chips served with melted cheese, Avo-cream, Frijoles, tomatillo, street salad, crispy onion, coriander & jalapeños. Yeah, that’s a lot of stuff, the base price is £7.00 but you can pick extras, I went for slow-cooked beef for an additional £2.90. This could feed 4 people easy.

Tacos 🌮 next! I used to work in Los Angeles 10 years ago and remember having some awesome shrimp tacos there which were great. So I went for some Chipotle & garlic shrimps 🦐 tacos hoping they would bring back good memories.. They didn’t disappoint! These were great! You can pick 2 flour/corn/gluten-free wraps or corn tortillas (soft or crispy shell), served with tomatillo salsa, onion, cilantro with Avo-cream and chipotle cream. £6.35 Also got the Baked sweet potato with feta cheese, this was also delicious £7.25

Beef QUESADILLAS next, 3 soft tortillas stuffed with melted cheese, folded & slowly cooked. £7.95

Also got some beef fajitas, Sizzling spiced strips of grilled beef with roasted peppers it came with a plate of tomato & onion, lettuce, Avo-cream, pico de gallo, cheese, so you can build your own fajita. Another nice dish. The beef was slightly overcooked, but that’s because I spent too long taking pics whilst the steak was still cooking on the plate!

Also got some chicken wings, but these were my least favourite item. I think they gave me a sample of sauces and didn’t serve it how they normally would.

To some up, the food here was great. Food made with love and loads of flavour. I recommend going in a group of people (business meetings are permitted) or will make a nice casual date night.

Drinks were also nice, not your typical Mocktails worth trying for sure.

I got sent a box of steaks from @saffron_alley a new company that delivers quality halal steaks and meats right to your door.

I received a box delivered in a chill box of rib eye, filet and sirloin steaks, which were thick-cut steaks grass-fed, free-range and wet-aged. They source their meat from different parts of the world. ⁣

My favourite was the Rib Eye steak. I was interested in finding out more about how cows are reared and raised and were told that Hereford Suckler cattle breed is known for its rich beefy flavour, and Suckler cattle means the young feed off mother’s milk for a full year, normally calves are given baby formula and fed grain to fatten them up.⁣

Steaks were very good, but the rib eye stood out for its deep flavour and thick-cut.
⁣It worked out at around £10 per steak which is good value when you compare it to a restaurant, this would easily cost £25 in a restaurant.


⁣Pictures are 2 Ribeye steaks, 1 filet and one sirloin cooked with vegetables.⁣
⁣Thank you @saffron_alley for sending me this meat comma. Be sure to check them out for some quality steaks at a good price. ⁣

During Lockdown Eid of 2020, I was delivered an epic meal platter from @thebbq.co swipe to the last picture for the full menu details. A food delivery service and you can also hire them for private parties and functions.

The feast featured this showstopper of a whole lamb leg, which was smoked then cooked on the BBQ. It’s served with roast vegetables, Yorkshire pudding, rice and gravy. It also comes with 2 bottles of homemade mojito and 3 desserts. The lamb was full of flavour and very tender

I also was given lamb chops, lamb ribs and lamb burgers. All of which were very good. Also, the desserts, which included my favourite milk cake was very good

The platter was enough for 6 to 8 and costs £75, so around £10 pp. Which is decent. It did cost more, but my feedback was to lower the price point and they took my feedback on board

Recommended if you are having a weekend get together with family. Oh, if you mention @halalfoodguy when you order you get an extra bottle of Mojito. I was gifted this meal. Thoughts and words my own.

Cheesesteak sandwich, wings, chops and chips In good munch in a box from @backyardbbqz 2 lads that have set up their own BBQ business available for collection in Ilford. I was very impressed with the cheese steak, loaded with gooey cheese and sauce and tastey beef. Definitely worth checking out if you are local to the area.

I’ve eaten food from many different cultures, but I don’t think I’ve every tried a fusion of Bengali and Jamaican 🇧🇩 + 🇯🇲 cuisine. But boy this food platter from @kadirskitchen was soo good!

I was kindly sent a sample of items from their menu and I found the food to be unique and full of flavour. @kadirskitchen is a new small business that delivers food in North and East London areas. Food is delivered on Saturday with orders required to be placed by Wednesday. Please check their Instagram for more

I got lamb chops, wings, mac and cheese, awesome rice and a epic seafood platter which consisted of giant prawns, lobster and crabs legs

Every item had heat and flavour, it was a joy to eat and great to try something new. If you like scotch bonnet 🌶 then you’ll love this. I was also given a yummy oreo chocolate brownie!

With the current situation and the way things are heading for a second lockdown, home deliveries might increase again. I’m glad that home cooks are setting up business so they can share their food and I’m happy to review and test out food

All food is halal and I was gifted this food delivery.

Order via Instagram – @kadirskitchen

If you love your meat then you have to check out this epic USDA prime grain-fed brisket, smoked low and slow for 14 hours over hickory wood using traditional methods to create a deep smoky flavour, rich bark and tender meat from @bycharred who now deliver nationwide, some of the most intensely flavoured meat I’ve eaten, the fat from the beef had so much flavour, plus you get the flavour from the meat being smoked. ⁣

⁣I had a few other items like the chicken and pulled beef, but for me, the brisket was a winner if every aspect. It comes pre-cooked so all you have to do is warm up in the oven, all instructions are included. Head over to @bycharred
For more info. Highly recommended.⁣

Check out this beautiful bespoke premium luxury food platter from @platterie_
This year has definitely been the year of the home delivery start up. I’ve been fortunate to review and test some lovely food products from small business owners that have started new ventures during these times

I was gifted this epic bespoke Mediterranean platter for 4 and a shawarma box for two. The med box contained really high-quality items, hummus, moutabal, tabbouleh, warak inab, Kibbeh, spinach samosa, cheese samosa, emsakhan rolls, falafel wrap and a yummy kufane cheesecake

The presentation and quality of the items included were fantastic. I was also given a Shawarma box for 2. Which consisted of chicken and lamb. I have to say these were amazing. Probably the best shawarmas I’ve had, especially the lamb, made from lamb fillet.

This would make an epic party platter or gift.

Delivery service, WEST LONDON ONLY. 10 mile delivery from UB6 or pick up.

The Mantl

I was invited to check out a new Turkish restaurant in Knightsbridge this week. From the guys behind one of my favourite Turkish places @skewdkitchen in Cockfosters. @mantlknightsbridge is the new kid on the block

This new endeavour follows the same theme of Skewed, which mixes classic Turkish food and cooking styles with new modern and contemporary European methods.

I find there are 2 types of Turkish restaurants, your standard meats over the charcoal grill that are piled up on a plate. Don’t let me wrong, there’s a time when I like and want that. However, then there are restaurants that try and pave the way for something different and defines itself by setting new trends

Pictured is the mix grill in the centre, I actually recommend getting the Adana Kebab separate (lamb mince) . It was easily one of THE BEST kebabs I’ve had. I was told it takes nearly 4 days to prepare and uses lamb filet. So good.

The headliner of the menu and chefs special. Pistachio Lamb chops. These aren’t the standard lamb chops served with the mixed grill. This is French trimmed, different cut, think and juicy chop, encrusted in a pistachio nut coat, served on a bed of shallot pomme puree (french for mash potato) and grilled asparagus

There was a perfect balance of ingredients using little surprise extras like pomegranate, watercress, lemongrass and nagelia seeds. A must order.

The lamb itself was cooked perfectly, juicy and tender and full of flavour. Priced at £25 in Knightsbridge for a headliner meal is not bad when you consider all the factors in play

All food is halal. Alcohol present. My meal was complimentary but thoughts my own. @mantlknightsbridge
