Halal eating in Helsinki: Habibi, Forum Helsinki City Center.

21 Nov

Another great and convenient place to get some good halal food in Helsinki is Habibi, the setup is like a fast food restaurant. So naturally the prices are cheap as compared to Fez, in fact very cheap. They have a Halal sign right at the face the shop, usually chicken is always halal, but as always its best to ask them. The staff can speak English, Finnish and probably Arabic as well.

So try it sometimes :)

Halal eating in Helsinki: Kebabistan

29 Nov

If you are in a mood to eat meat then you should go to Kebabistan its very close to the kammpi station. The best time to go is during the lunch hours, you can check their web site for the timmings. During the lunch hours they have a buffet, where they serve kebabs, sometimes beef, sometimes chicken, along with some seafood and vegeterian stuff. The kebabs are always halal, but you should ask for chicken or beef. I thought their kebabs were really good, specially when are just off the grill thing, for 8€ I think its a very good place to go.  The name is pretty funky, Kebabistan like Pakistan, hehe.

The guys there are turkish and were very friendly with us, when we told then we were from Pakistan, they were even more happy. I liked this place. But you may or may not, I sure would recommend this.

 
 

Halal eating in Helsinki: Fez, the Moroccan experience

06 Oct

It is not hard to find Halal restaurants in Helsinki, a simple google search will provide you with a list. It may be scattered around but thats not a problem, the problem is that most of these restaurants cater to “lunch” or “fast food” people. People who just want to get some food quickly and get back to work or home.

Some friends had been asking me to take them to some “Muslim” restaurant. I did not want to take them to these restaurants, I wanted to take them to a place with some class and good atmosphere. I wanted to show them that we (muslims) knew good living as well.

So I took some last week, did extensive googling and found Fez ( www.fez.fi ). And I am happy that I went there. The staff was friendly, they had good halal food, the atmosphere was just amazing. It was an expensive restaurant, located in a quite neighbourhood of Helsinki, away from all the noise. I made a reservation before gong there, it was not necessary but I believe in summer time it may be hard to find a place there, considering how good the food was. The chefs really knew their stuff. I would love to go there again :) .
