~ Mufti says ~

“Owner gives away chicken while you wait because he means it. The halal crowd knows this place.”

“Indian grocery store with a snacks bar. The homemade sweets and pickles are the move—treat the groceries as a bonus.”

~ Mufti says ~

“100% halal meat, management confirms it. But the recent reviews worry me — execution is uneven, and dine-in service is collapsing near closing. Order the Hyderabad chicken and go early.”
