The bathroom was just filthy. There was no clean toilet paper, the one in the photo was wet, maybe with pee, maybe water, who knows. There were no paper towels, nothing but a gallon jug. There was pee everywhere, inside the trashcan there was toilet paper with poop smudged on it. You can tell the bathroom hadn’t been cleaned in days, maybe weeks. When addressed, it was brushed off and ignored. The man told me they cleaned it today which was very clearly a lie, as the mirror had so much dust built up on it and I can barely see my own reflection.
As a Zabiha halal restaurant, you would expect to have a sanitary environment to eat in. After seeing the neglected bathroom, it makes us question how clean and sanitary their cooking process, and equipment really is. I have been coming here since this place opened up, but today was my final time coming as the sanitation of this place has clearly gone downhill.
As Muslims, it really makes us question the legitimacy of the sanitation and cleanliness of this place. This is my first time leaving a review on any place. It’s disappointing it has to be a restaurant I once really enjoyed eating at.
Update after owner's response:
I want to be clear that my review reflects exactly what I personally experienced at the time of my visit. Describing what I saw is not an exaggeration; it was concerning enough that I felt compelled to say something, both to staff and later in a review.
And to clarify, the issue was addressed on the spot in person, and it was brushed off, and there were no actions taken. All I got in return was assurance that the bathroom had been cleaned that day, which did not align with its condition. That is why I mentioned it. Taking photos and leaving a review was not “theatrics,” but a way to document and communicate a genuine concern after feeling dismissed, and I have video proof of me addressing the concern to the employees, but again, my concern was brushed off in defense by the employees in person, and the owner online, hence the reason I left a review, and will not be returning.
As a customer who has supported this business since it first opened, my disappointment comes from seeing a noticeable decline. Cleanliness, especially in a halal establishment, matters deeply to many of us, and it is reasonable for a customer to question overall sanitation when basic facilities are in such poor condition.
This was written out of concern rather than malice. The feedback is direct and honest, and it is shared with the expectation that it will be received maturely and constructively, especially given the emphasis that conversations here can be handled “like adults.”
