Pilau
Pilau restaurant has always been on my radar since they first popped up in Fitzrovia. With the promises of creamy butter chicken wraps, mouth-meltingly soft lamb pilau, and frothy mango lassis, and with the bonus of being halal, I was not surprised reading all the rave reviews Pilau was receiving. Finally, I took the plunge […]
Hankies Cafe
Indian restaurants seem to be the “hip” (cringe) thing right now in London. From high end establishments like the fabulous Jamavar to more casual restaurants such as Talli Joes, they seem to be popping up everywhere; each with their own modern twist and also the kind of places you can take your parents along to.

10 Halal Cheap Eats Under £10
As much as I love London, I slightly balk when I read that we are constantly in the list of the top 10 most expensive cities in the world to live in.
Archie’s, Manchester
Archie’s is a casual halal burger and milkshake joint located on Oxford Road in Manchester; they are known for their incredibly creamy milkshakes, crispy chicken burgers, oh and, how could I forget, for the celebrity hotspotting too. With guests like Nas, the Game, and Amir Khan, the boxer, it was easy to see just why […]
Roti King
In the words of Jay Z, I got no patience, and I hate waitin’. Thats what BW told me as we waited the longest time to be called for our table. Now I usually don’t make it a point to take BW to restaurants that don’t take bookings, maybe since the third time we tried […]
Boondocks
Due to my long list of restaurants to visit, it is scarce that I revisit an establishment more than once. The place would really have to be good for me to want to go back, or perhaps I’m just in the area with friends and thought the food was alright. So when Boondocks, Stax’s new […]
Kothu Kothu
Kothu, which literally translates to ‘chop’, is a street food speciality found on the roadsides in Sri Lanka. It is made using roti (which reminded me of paratha), vegetables, eggs, meat, and spices. Kothu Kothu (“chop chop”) have brought this concept over to London, and are now serving up their own take of the Sri […]
Mother Clucker
When I think of school, my fondest memories are those frequent visits after school to all those halal fried chicken shops on the high street. The spicy wings at Chicken Cottage were a weekly staple and I was, unashamedly, a regular at Sam’s, with my classic strips burger and chilli sauce. PFC, XFC, HFC, Al Halal […]
The Kati Roll Company
With Ramadan coming to an end in a few days, I started to think (more like, dream) about all the delicious food I would get to indulge in again at normal hours of the day. My staple morning fried eggs with an array of seasoning (follow me on snapchat to see: Halal.Girl ), a nice […]
Makatcha
During the working week, I’ve come to discover that lunchtime is my weak spot, especially when I’ve run out the house with a banana and a coffee for breakfast. I become this hangry, difficult, half-human which can only be tamed with a delicious, hearty lunch. However, eating at a restaurant every lunchtime is not a […]
