Halal Cafe & Deli

Coffee by the window. A halal deli case at the back.

One room, two counters: a daytime cafe pouring coffee and karak chai, and a real deli slicing halal roast beef, smoked turkey, and salami to order — by the sandwich or by the pound.

Sandwiches with a first and last name.

The Full Counter11.95

Roast beef, turkey, and salami together on rye, with swiss, half-sours, and deli mustard. The one the name on the door is for.

Hot Pastrami-Style Beef12.95

Our peppered halal beef steamed till it gives up, stacked on rye with mustard. Napkins are on the house.

The Garden Case9.50

Marinated vegetables, herbed labneh, and sharp provolone on a seeded roll. Meatless, not joyless.

Every meat in the case is halal — sourced from certified suppliers, with paperwork we'll gladly show you at the counter. Opening prices; a few may settle once suppliers are final.

Opening

The slicer is ordered. The room is next.

We're fitting out the space now — tile floor, window seats for the cafe side, and the glass case where you can watch your order get sliced.

Address and hours go up here the week we open. Planned hours are early morning through early evening, seven days — a daytime place, honestly kept.
