REVIEW

Iza’s Chicken Corner started in 2013 and ever since have served tasty and affordable delicacies to the busy streets of Sampaloc, Manila. Owned by a Muslim family from Zamboanga. (Their managers can talk Bahasa Sug). Their servers and workers are mostly from Mindanao, either from Zamboanga or Pagadian. They can speak Bahasa Sug (Tausug), Binisaya, or Chavacano.

Their fried chicken is available for as cheap as P39 with rice. Their specialty grilled chicken ranges from P49 to P79. They also have a deliciously made Chicken Siopao for P30. The place is also homy that you will see a lot of costumers eating using their bare hands. Of course you can opt to do that as well! There's a clean lavatory and sink at the sides before the stairs to the 2nd floor.

2nd Floor: A pretty cozy and well-maintained place.

Their special Grilled Chicken. You make your own sauce/gravy ^_^

REVIEW

“Dulang” refers to the set of foods served to guests during traditional celebrations in the islands of Basilan, Sulu, Tawi-Tawi and Zamboanga Peninsula. Dulang can also mean the golden or silver tray with intricate designs where those foods are served.

Dulang Restaurant started as a catering service in Zamboanga City and now became a Halal restaurant owned by a Muslim family. Their first and main establishment is in Zamboanga City and the Manila Branch in Ermita was officially established in 2013. They serve delicious Tausūg and Malaysian foods at an affordable price. They offer discounted “Budget Meals” which include a cup of rice, one meat viand (choose from chicken or beef) and a vegetable side dish with free soup. The Tiyula’ Itum (black soup), the trademark recipe of the Tausūgs, is their specialty. They also serve by-order Mi-Goreng and other noodles from Malaysia. Their Tausūg Kahawa (native coffee) is also a favourite by most costumers partnering it with hot and tasty Tausūg delicacies like wadjit, apam, tabid-tabid, durul, patulakan, or putli’ mandi.

The place has a welcoming ambiance with chatty servers. People who came from or at least have visited the ZamBaSulTa area would certainly feel at home as most costumers will be speaking in their local dialects.

Dulang is also a few blocks away from Robinsons Manila, Philippine General Hospital and various Travel Agencies in Ermita. A few walk to spend a relaxing afternoon after an exhausting day at work. The only downside with Dulang is their small area, no accessible comfort room and limited parking nearby.

REVIEW:

Gayyah’s Halal Restaurant started as a Meat shop in Del Pilar St. Malate, Manila up until May 2014 when they opened the Halal Restaurant. It is owned by a Muslim family who are now stationed in Manila.

They serve Malaysian, Indonesian, Indian, Pakistani and Tausūg foods. They open as early as 6AM serving mostly Satti for P65 (Beef) or P75 (Chicken). They have a variety of delicious foods which can be bought as separate dishes or by “value meals” with ranges from P65 to P75, with free soup and a cup of juice. Their Satti and Biryani (P120) are two of the favourite and best-selling dishes ordered by the costumers. They also serve Tomyang, Nasi Ayam, Mee Padas, Mee Goring and Martabaks (Beef/Chicken) among others. Their foods are really deliciously prepared. They also serve hot teas, coffees (native or instant), and some sweets like pali’ kambing, patulakan and apam.

The servers are also courteous and would insist that they take your orders and bring them to your table themselves. The place has a spacey and well-maintained area with comfortable tables that can be arranged when in need of more space (for bigger groups). They also have a television where one can watch and spend time. The place is air-conditioned most of the time. Aside from the TV and the people chatting, the noises are pretty tolerable.

Very spacious space with TV. Opens as early as 6AM.

They have their own meat shop as well

Halal Food Promotion

I was contacted a while back by Interaksyon web edition.

They wanted to write an article about Halal Restaurants and meaning of Halal food for the muslims.

I gave them some input and here is the article for those who would like to read.

http://www.interaksyon.com/lifestyle/7-halal-restaurants-to-try-in-metro-manila

It is good to see that Halal Food awareness has some focus and hopefully more Halal places will pop up as we can see that there are more Muslim consumers in Manila these days, and local muslims are getting more aware of the importance of eating Halal, inshaAllah.

They are referring to some Halal places in this article, these are not adviced by me.
However some of them are Halal inshaAllah, but I have not been in contact with all of them.

Allahu Aleem.

Tasty Halal Lebanese food in Manila, Farah Lebanese Food and Barbeque newly opened restaurant right next to Harrisons plaza in Manila, not far from Robinsons Place, Ermita. 

They serve up authentic Lebanese food made by their Lebanese chef. A mix of kebabs, hummus, pita breads, salads, shawarma, beef biryani and many other nice dishes. The chef confirms to us that they only use halal meat, and shows us who and where he buys from. 

When we went there we tried the mixed kebab with basmati rice, shawarma, hummus and pita bread.. on top of that we got some free taste sampler from the chef, some beef biryani and salad.. All of it was very tasty mashaAllah. 

It was a delight to be there, the restaurant was nice, the staff was welcoming and the chef was kind and made us some wonderful food. alhamdulillah. 


PS! Try the hummus, one of the best i have tasted in Manila.. mashaAllah :)

If you'll be praying in Greenhills, just wanted to remind you faithful worshippers of a few places available to you that serve up a tasty iftar.

Ranao Halal Food . They serve up iftar as well as suhoor. Check with the owners regarding extended hours for Ramadan. Ranao is located right next to the Greenhills Prayer Hall.

To get to the Prayer Hall, exit the Virra-Mall (V-Mall) and cross the road towards Annapolis Carpark. Look for the corridor between KFC (on the right) and Yoshinoya (on the left), and follow the corridor which will lead you towards this restaurant and Muslim Prayer Hall

There are many other halal restaurants (Sitti's, Arya etc) available in Greenhills. But please check opening hours as they are subject to the operating hours of the mall.

"Syiam Maqbool wa Iftar shahee" (Inshallah your fast is accepted and bon appetit!)

Ramadan Mubarak 2012

Halal Manila would like to congratulate the global Muslim community on the advent of the holy month of Ramadan. 

The Holy Prophet (pbuh) has stated in an narration agreed upon by all schools of thought: "Begin fasting when you see the new moon, and end fasting when you see the new moon." 

We would like to wish you all a blessed and spiritually-fulfilling month. 

May The Most Merciful accept all of our fasting, supplications, prayers, and acts of worship.
