Halal Food at Disney World

It’s taken a few visits and some trial and error, but we had such a great experience with halal food throughout Disney when we went back to Disney World this past August (and with relatively minor hiccups).   First and foremost, it is very important to research and plan ahead of time what restaurants on the Disney …

Local [Halal] Thai Food

I don’t like Chinese food, so I just always [wrongly] assumed I wouldn’t like Thai food either. Similar taste profile and all. Chinese food is way too salty, for the most part, for my liking… and I don’t particularly like that distinct taste. I hesitantly tried Thai food last November when a bunch of us cousins went …

Review: The Fault in Our Stars

I cried [plenty of times… but that shouldn’t be surprising], I laughed, but so many times I just paused… to reflect and to ponder.  The choice of words are brilliant. I think that is what captivated me the most. The Fault in Our Stars by John Green is a quick, easy, articulate and captivating read. …

The Hunger Games

I finally caved in and read The Hunger Games yesterday. I feel like that’s all everyone has talked about lately. It’s been all over my social network feeds, that’s for sure. It sat on my side table for weeks (probably longer) after Imran lent me the book and insisted I read it (along with Faraz). Two nights ago, …

Red Lobster

I love seafood… and tilapia is one of my favorites! So it should come as no surprise that one of my favorites when I go out to eat is the Wood-Fire Grilled Tilapia at Red Lobster. It’s what I get EVERY.SINGLE.TIME. I go there. Without fail. Love the Caesar salad at Red Lobster. LOVE their biscuits. I …

Choopan Grill

Food: 3 Staff: 3 Atmosphere: 3.5 Overall: 3.0 Choopan Grill is a new Afghani Restaurant that opened recently in our area. It apparently has two other locations by the same owner in NY (or so I’ve heard). I tried it today with three of my cousins (and we all love Afghani food). The service was… …

Levant

Food: 3.5 Staff: 3.5 Atmosphere: 4 Overall: 3.5 I went with a bunch of girls, and so got to ‘sample’ a few different dishes. I can honestly say I only liked what I ordered. I got the Chicken Kabab and it was juicy and delicious. I found a few of the other dishes to be …

Obama’s Children’s Book

The youngest person in my house is 22 (me!), so I am sure many would be surprised if they heard that we recently bought a children’s book. Well, it wasn’t just any children’s book – it was Barack Obama’s “Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to My Daughters“: I gotta admit, the book is pretty good – and I’m not …

Kabab Paradise

Food: 5 Staff: 4.5 Atmosphere: 3.5 Overall: 4.5 I’ve had several things from here and have enjoyed them all. My favorite is the Chicken Tikka Sandwich with fries. Their chicken wings are delicious, their hummus is great. I was hesitant yet anxious to try their fried chicken and that was great as well! I love fried chicken, …

Aurora Moments Photography

A good photographer makes a world of a difference, don’t you think? My cousin, Samia, recently started a photography business of her own, called Aurora Moments Photography. She’s based in New York (but does events in New Jersey and other local areas as well). I’m not just saying this because she’s my cousin, but she …
