Thai Green Curry and Rice | Fitous | £7.75
Having been to Thailand and eaten very good Thai food, it was next to impossible to find a Thai restaurant in London that is both halal and good. This is where Fitous comes in. The food is definitely at Thai spicy level – it is mindblowingly hot – and better than most of the other […]
Various Manakish | Zeit and Zaatar | up to £10
Zeit and Zaatar is a no-frills Lebanese bakery situated on Uxbridge Road – a halal cheap eats goldmine! You can watch the staff knead the dough and pile the manakish high with toppings, before placing them inside the hot fiery oven. Whilst it might not be the most atmospheric restaurant, the constant aroma of freshly […]
Spinach and Cheese Gozleme | Gozleme House | £2.50
I absolutely love hole in the walls, especially ones that churn out buttery flatbreads stuffed with goodies i.e. gozlemes. You’ll spot Golzeme House by the women sitting by the window, working their magic on the gozlemes; kneading away at the dough, stuffing them to the brim, and then slapping it onto the pan to fry. […]
Tugur + Lamb Skewer | Etles Uyghur | £10
Whilst my reviews do focus around North, West, and Central London, I have started making more of an effort to check out East London (don’t worry South, I’m coming for you!). One place that really wowed me was Etles Uyghur in Walthamstow, based on the food from Xinjiang Uyghur. There are numerous ways in which […]
Popcorn Chicken + Sweet Potato Fries | Good Friend Chicken | £6
I first found Good Friend Chicken 3 years ago and have been a regular ever since (it even featured as one of my best halal fried chicken in London!). Sure, it isn’t good for the thunder thighs but the food at Good Friend Chicken is quick, tasty, and cheap! There is a huge variety of […]
Minced Lamb Koobideh | Patogh | £7.00
London is full of hidden halal gems, all tucked away in the nooks and crannies of this lovely city. Patogh just happens to be one of them and you can find the tiny restaurant on a side street just off Edgware Road. Upon walking in, you are greeted with the aroma of freshly baked bread […]
Nasi Lemak | Tukdin | £7.90
[Photo credit: Posh Broke Bored] Tukdin is a family-owned establishment based in the heart of Paddington, offering Hawker specialties as well as traditional dishes. They have been around since forever and cater to locals as well as Malaysians missing home food. The Tukdin nasi lemak [£7.90] consists of a mound of coconut rice, eggs, spicy […]
Halal Cheap Eats Part 3
It has certainly been a while since I’ve written a series, especially a halal cheap eats one! I’m thinking of making a whole new section on the website to accommodate for all these halal cheap eats, what do you think? If you have any halal cheap eats suggestions that are £10 and below, do let […]
Two Buns
A few weeks before Ramadan started, BW and I decided to go visit all our friends in the suburbs before his parents came to visit. As we were going to be in the area, we thought we would check out Two Buns, a burger joint that has been keen for me to visit them for […]
Etles Uyghur
Last November, I was invited out to Ningxia in Northern China. I can see you guys rolling your eyes thinking, “we know, you haven’t stopped reminding us!”, but it was truly one of the best trips of my life. Asides from being mesmerised by the landmarks and the ways of the Hui Muslims out there, […]
