If you love a good brisket...this is the place to go. I have had their brisket before when they catered from their home and to see them have a store presence now...they deserve it! Their brisket is juicy and deliciously seasoned. We tried the sandwich, chili, and mac n cheese with the brisket. The chili had too many tomatoes, but the other 2 were fantastic! We also tried their Dino Rib, this was a bit tough to chew. Cornbread was served with each dish, which was delicious and well made. Definitely go check them out, it's worth it! And they serve all halal.

Terrible service! Confused crew! Chaotic and not ready to handle larger groups. Waited for almost an hour and asked for a refund! Got torn bills.Never again! If you have time to waste….be their guest.

The so-called 'mac bowl' was a joke; listed as an appetizer but priced like a full meal $18, and it was smaller than an average appetizer bowl. The brisket sandwich, dry, flavorness, and served on a tiny slider buns. Don't be fooled by the glowing reviews - they're probably just their pals hyping them up. Seriously, this isn't how you do business. Major letdown.

The best halal Bbq spot in town hands down! Portions, quality, service, everything on point.

We were so focused on enjoying the great food that we didn't take any pictures. Mohsin was great on the phone as well as in person. Came to the table to check on us and solicit feedback. Explained their philosophy and what makes their food stand out from the rest. Will definitely go back and this time take pictures!

The meat was very flavorful my only recommendation is that the bread be toasted it takes away from the meats flavors when the bread is oddly cold and chewy honestly also maybe adding a cheese onto the sandwiches with an upcharge would be a good option for people who would want some on their

Small portion, big priceDisappointing experience, mac bowl with brisket was too small given the price, the brisket sandwich left us wanting more food. The menu options were very limited. Won't come back and don't recommend you all.

Has a great brisket sandwich, very tender and a good flavor. They have a very limited menu so that's the only thing I've gotten there though. Mac&cheese is hit and miss: a few times I've gotten it and it was very good, but some times it was runny. Price is a bit on the higher side, but that's Ballston. Service is very fast.

Made us wait over an hour and served everybody else that came after us earlier than us. The brisket sandwich was bland and too oily.

If you don’t wanna wait 1-2 hours for the food to be made and the food was very bland not worth 25 bucks for a sandwich.

I absolutely love, love, love the food of, the humor of, and how environmently conscious this place! Aside from the amazing food, they plant a tree for every 20lbs of wood they burn to make the food. Amazing overall! 10/10!
