Came here this evening with my wife and young kids. We initially planned to dine in and even moved tables to accommodate our family. While waiting, a group of young men nearby were extremely loud, using excessive profanity, and behaving aggressively, with no regard for the fact that small children were present (there was another father also with his young child too). At one point, it even felt like a fight might break out.
The dining space is quite small (roughly 15 people), so it was impossible to avoid the situation. Because we didn’t feel comfortable exposing our kids to that environment, we decided to switch to takeout. When I raised the concern with staff, it was acknowledged, but no action was taken.
There really needs to be a basic code of conduct and zero tolerance for this kind of behavior—especially for a restaurant that has “halal” in its name and is located a block away from Madinah Masjid. Our community spaces should feel safe and welcoming for families.
We ended up driving 20 minutes back home to eat cold food. The burgers were delicious, and the pasta tasted good, but the pasta had very little meat, which was disappointing. We spent about $90 tonight, and unfortunately, given the overall experience, we likely won’t be returning unless the restaurant makes it family friendly at all times.
