Had the pleasure of visiting this Halal food and grocery store a day after it's soft opening. Met the owner, Tanveer, an energetic person who was extremely glad to share his journey and purpose behind opening the store. The aisles are still being stocked up, the meat is stored in a customer-visible freezer and they sold out of food both yesterday and today. London has long been lacking an establishment that consolidates Pakistani-Indian grocery, fresh food, and meat butchery into one experience. I had the chicken briyani which was tender and aromatic (could use a pinch less spice), the chicken tikka (could use more spice with less yogurt), and naan (which we were absolutely happy to see be made in a clay tandoor oven, though came out to be just a bit thinner than we'd like). We also picked up some goat and veal, because it just looked fresh; the butcher, Ali, told us "if there's any of that typical goat smell, bring it back" which was reassuring since we stopped buying goat in London for that reason. We've grown tired of heading to Toronto every few weeks to stock up on food, have always dreaded Aladdin's inflated prices and the inconvenience of Indo-Asian. With Jannat also on Wonderland as the aforementioned Halal staples, I'm glad to make the 5-minute drive further. As long as Jannat's customers are honest about what works and what doesn't, I see this place being around for a long time forward.
If you love food take a risk for once in your life and go in and try anything on the menu I guarantee it will blow your mind this is probably two best sandwiches I’ve ever had in my life! And before we left we decided to order this dish, it was incredible especially when eating with the fresh stone oven naan.
Biryani was pretty good. Better than all the other ones I have tried so far (desi point, aroma of India, Mint leaves). Didnt like the tikka as much but it was decent.
