…buddy and i split the chicken and goat sport plate. it was really good. goat wasn’t gamey at all, and the chicken was delicious. the rice was especially amazing, so moist and flavorful. the guy behind the counter was really nice as well. honestly a great spot!

Nubian Markets

halal: halal meats, jerk chicken, rice
“Nubian Markets is a gem worth defending. The jerk chicken and rice are the move — order from the hot bar, skip the inconsistent bowls, and know the halal meat counter holds its own.”
