Six years of halal cooking in San Jose
Family-owned and rooted in the Bay Area, we serve authentic Middle Eastern, Afghan, and Indo-Pakistani dishes — all halal, all made with care.
No seed Oil, Certified halal, cooked with integrity
We cook exclusively with avocado oil, extra virgin olive oil, and—for our non-vegan options—real butter and ghee, never compromising on quality. You won't find any MSG, preservatives, or artificial food dyes in our kitchen. Just real, honest ingredients prepared with absolute transparency.
To make your visit even more comfortable, we also offer a dedicated on-site prayer space. For us, true hospitality goes far beyond what’s on the plate
From Baba Ganouj to Kabuli Pulao
Our menu spans three culinary traditions. Smoky baba ganouj drizzled with olive oil, fragrant saffron biryani, slow-cooked lamb over basmati — every dish is aromatic, flavorful, and made from scratch.

The atmosphere was great, and the staff was friendly and attentive. One of the best restaurants in San Jose—highly recommend! Thank

I visited there on a business trip about 3 years ago, and this time I visited there on a trip. During this trip, I visited the restaurant twice, and the kind owner and delicious food proved it to be a good place. I am Korean and not good at English, but I was very satisfied because the owner talked
