Mughal e Azam Restaurant Birmingham UK

We have been hearing a lot about this restaurant in Birmingham which was formerly a church. They reportedly spent around £2 million to transform the building. Some unique dishes on the menu such as lamb's brain besides the usual Indian/ Pakistani dishes. No liquor served at premises though patrons can bring along their own wine. url: www.mughaleazam.co.uk Address: Stratford Road Sparkhill, B11 4DA Telephone: 01217779348 View Larger Map

Express Diner Coventry UK

Just dropped by Express Diner on Gosford street near Aqua to grab a quick lunch. I had the spicy fillet burger meal while my friend had the vegetarian burger meal. Good succulent burger Fast (but not friendly) service. Let down by refried fries which spoiled our experience.

Site update

We have some fantastic plans for our site. Here are some news updates: Ali Baig a lecturer at Coventry University and a food connoisseur joins our team. We are currently building up a database of good halal restaurants all over the UK. Previously we have provided only basic information about good halal food places but had several emails indicating that was not enough and we aim to provide authentic reviews with photographs and more.

On Vegetarianism and halal

Check out this great link on vegetarianism. Sheikh Hamza Yusuf Hanson says: "Meat is not a necessity in Shari'ah, and in the old days most Muslims used to eat meat, if they were wealthy, like middle class—once a week on Friday. If they were poor—on the Eids. So traditionally Muslims were semi-vegetarians. The Prophet was, I mean, technically, the Prophet (SAWS) was in that category. He was not a meat-eater. Most of his meals did not have meat in them." Vegetarianism is halal. Meat is not compulsory.
