Fatima’s Halal Kitchen

On a look out for Chinese  food the other day, I ran into a friend one afternoon after jummah and we headed over to Astoria for some grub. We ended up at this infamous place called Fatima’s Halal Kitchen on Broadway. This little small restaurant has been keeping the muslim community in New York happy [...]

Olive Tree – Halal Italian & Indian

UPDATE 6/16/10: Well, looks like this place closed down and for good reason too. Last time I went, the food was totally the opposite of the review below. We asked for “desi-fied” entrees, and they came out normal without any added spices. The miscommunication was definitely a major annoyance as we told the waiter that the food we received wasn’t [...]

Karachi Broast

This place is for all of you who have driven by a McDonald's or any other burger joint with a pang of sadness, thinking you will never be able to savor a juicy halal cheeseburger. Karachi Broast has not only made this possible, but it has done so without sacrificing the quality or flavor of the food.

Short & Sweet: Junior’s Cheesecake

New York Style Cheesecake is a thing of beauty by itself. Eventually, we’ll go through all the different places that sell the different types, but since a lot of you guys have a sweet tooth, I figured I’d do a quick review of “Junior’s” in Brooklyn. Everyone knows New York Cheesecake is...

The Sub & Pizza

Here at the University of Mass, we have the tradition (like many people do) of going to eat lunch after Jummah. There was a week where I was giving the khutbah at the mosque in town, and the guys (my usual crew) decided to come to town and eat near the...

Gigi’s Pasta and Pizza

Everybody loves Italian food. Me, you, your mother, your mother’s mother (well maybe not her), but the point is clear: Italian food is good stuff. With that said, one day after Jumu’ah we went to a nice little Halal Italian American restaurant in Massapequa, Long Island, NY called “Gigi’s Pasta...
