Iftar in London 2018
For most of us, tomorrow marks the first day of Ramadan. The first few days are undoubtedly hard; you’re grumpy, tired, and hungry. You won’t dare look at your social media which, of course, will be full of food – sorry! Over the month, you’ll become more accustomed to this new routine and will start […]
Eid in London 2017
After a long 30 days of fasting, Ramadan is coming to an end. It has not been the easiest month for us, but one that has really opened my eyes to just how charitable and united we become, not just for Ramadan, but in our every day lives too. One case in example was the unfortunate […]
Ramadan in London 2017

Portobello Market
Despite the windy and wet weather of London (typical!), BW and my wonderful self decided to make the most of the day by going for a stroll. BW suggested Notting Hill and I was feeling hungry, as usual, so it only made sense to go somewhere where there was plenty of food available!
Happy 1st Birthday!
In the last couple of weeks, I have been ridiculously busy. From attending university (eek – final year!) to running around the Halal Food Festival and other food events like a fatso; my mind has been absolutely jam-packed with studying, food and plenty more. I’ve been so busy that I completely forgot about my blog turning […]
