Pregnancy cravings are a thing guys. Not the “oh I quite fancy that”, but a full-blown “I need XYZ now or I will eat you” kind of craving. Mine were relatively subdued and definitely unhealthy. French fries (vegetables), ice-cream (calcium), and sugary cereals (fibre) were my daily requirements, but sometimes the cravings became interesting. Eggs […]

MAISON BAB

Maison Bab

I realise it’s been a while since I’ve posted a restaurant review, although it doesn’t feel that long to me. You see, I had a baby a couple of months ago for those of you who didn’t know, and it feels like time has just blurred together in my baby brain. But, I would never […]

Although there are plenty of halal restaurants to be discovered, I always find myself going back to the same old places.

Hankies Marble Arch

In my old hometown, there is this one spot on the high street which I like to think is cursed. Not cursed in the spooo0ooky ghost way, but destined to be dead on arrival. Numerous (and promising) new restaurants have opened up on this new plot, only to go out of business and shut down […]

Blue Ginger

When BW and I were dating, I had booked a holiday to the States for three weeks to hang out and spend time with my amazing sister. Basically, I just ditched him.

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 […]

Evelyn’s, Manchester

Having had a slightly disastrous first day in Manchester (read this and this), I became a little skeptical about my upcoming booking at Evelyn’s for brunch.

Scene Indian Street Kitchen, Manchester

Because I love and trust you guys, I did a mini-poll across social media as to which restaurants you lovely, loyal readers wanted me to visit and review in Manchester.
