Home / Downstairs · The Restaurant Kitchen

The halal restaurant.

Homemade Middle Eastern plates from our restaurant kitchen — shawarma, kebab, koshari, tagine. Eat in, take out, or order on Grubhub. Open 24 hours, a short walk from University City.

How the kitchen works

Step up to the counter inside the grocery, point at what looks good, or order from the menu below. The kitchen serves through the day and through the night — halal kebab plates at lunch, koshari at midnight, mint tea and baklava whenever.

Menu changes with the seasons and with what the chefs feel like cooking. Daily specials chalked behind the counter — call to ask what's on tonight.

Eat in · Upstairs dining

A small dining room, just up the stairs from the bazaar.

A few wooden tables and a quiet corner — perfect for a late lunch, a slow tea, or a quick takeaway box on the way home. Open 24 hours, every day.
