Best Halal Restaurants in NYC | Eater NY
"A fire forced married owners, Maymuuna “Mona” Birjeeb and Shakib Farah, to close up shop — just two months after she gave birth to their twins. Things worked out, and they have a shiny, new place just a five-minute walk away to continue welcoming members of their Somali American community as well as New Yorkers at large. Bestsellers include: crispy sambusas, roasted goat, mango curry, and chicken suquaar (stewed chicken). They’re cooked in a base of cumin, turmeric, cardamom, bay leaves, garlic, and spicy green peppers, Birjeeb tells Eater. And they all come with an addictive bisbaas sauce that’s spicy and tangy with jalapeños and limes." - Caroline Shin
