(now that may be a bonus – it stops you from having to run to the bathroom to check for steak in your teeth) and the restaurant has gone more for a simplistic interior with dim lighting.
Right off, I should tell you that this is a great place even for non-steak lovers. The restaurant has a food attraction for every palate. They have delicious appetizers (between $9-$18), we ordered the “Jerk Chicken Nachos” ($15) – the jerk chicken was marinated perfectly and bursting with flavor, the nachos were complimented with just the right amount of sauces, crumbled feta and gooey-melted cheese. The sauces were tangy, hit with just a bit of spiciness from the chimichurri sauce and finished with an impressive green guacamole. While we polished off the appetizer, we were presented with an olive oil dip with bread – it’s complimentary – a feature many halal restaurants are missing! As we satiated our indulgence, we turned our attention to the main event: Our AAA Rib Eye Steak” (12oz for $28), it was hard to miss as the sizzle could be heard making its way to our table. Steaks are served with a choice of: fries, mashed potatoes or salad, seasonal veggies and a colorful trio of sauces, chimichurri, compound butter, and a tangy mushroom sauce. We left the steak on for a few minutes until it reached a medium doneness and because it was our first time there, the server even came over and guided us on how to cook and cut into our steak to achieve perfect results – I found that to be extremely helpful! The result: a juicy, succulent and seasoned-to- perfection steak. The sauces complemented the steak really well. The spicy chimichurri sauce was my favorite out of the three! I should also mention that the menu boasts salads, pastas and poultry options; it is also accommodating of that friend who wants seafood instead of meat! They also have a kid’s section on the menu, and high chairs available for the little ones. To drink, I ordered a Shirley Temple blended with ice. A custom drink, while it tasted great, I would advise against the addition of ice as the drink tasted watered down after a few sips.
and had special notes of cocoa powder which gave it a bittersweet effect. It was a great ending to our meal.
