What We Ate This Week: 24/01/21
This week was a little too heavy on fast food and whilst most of what I ate was good, I’m starting to miss the concept of actually eating in a restaurant. It’s just not the same when it’s delivered home and warmed up in the oven/microwave, is it?. But let’s not be a negative noorjahan […]
Taco Bell UK Serving Halal in Certain Branches
Did you guys know that some of the Taco Bell shops are halal in the UK? Yes, we’re actually one whole year late to this news and you’re perhaps rolling your eyes whilst reading this post. BUT at HGAT, we believe that late is better than never so we headed out to one of the […]
5 Things We Ate This Week – 17/01/21
From the lockdown in March last year to Eat Out to Help Out to lockdown 2.0 to tier 4 to lockdown 3.0, things have been nothing short of crazy over here.

The Best Broasted
A few months ago, I read an email from a lovely Fowzia informing me of a Syrian restaurant that I just had to try. Now, I’ve received tons of these messages before, but most have been self-promoting their own or a close family/friend’s restaurant, so I’ve been a little sceptical. But this email was different. […]
Hot May Pot Pot
Since Aadam has been born, I’ve found it progressively more difficult to take him out to restaurants as he has gotten older. We still do manage to go out but dinner time has become much, much earlier – I’m talking 5/5:30 early – and the type of restaurants have shifted from swanky places to restaurants […]
Zelman Meats Soho
*This branch is now closed* Last month, I was kindly invited down to Zelman Meats in Soho to check out their Canadian beef offerings, which of course is all halal! Now, I love steak and have had my fair share of very good and very, very terrible halal steaks, but an excellent steak with all […]
Karvon
Last year, I wrote about a fantastic little gem hidden away in Walthamstow called Etles Uyghur, just one out of two Uyghur restaurants in London. I’m happy to say that there is a new, and third, Uyghur restaurant in town, Karvon (thanks to my super foodie friend, Feroz, for the tip-off!)! So what exactly in […]
Normah’s
On HGAT, I’ve always gone on about how I love finding hidden halal gems in London. Nowadays, and although it has been a while since my last find, I have to tell you guys about the best Malaysian restaurant in London, Normah’s Cafe in Queensway market.
Chalida Thai
**This restaurant has now closed** Around two years ago, BW and I had the pleasure of visiting Thailand. We hopped around Bangkok, Phuket, and Chiang Mai, and whilst I could go on about how beautiful it was, I’m here to tell you about the food!
