Muslim Vendor of the Week!

Overview: 

Let me start by saying, look, we don’t use the phrase “among best desi food we’ve had” lightly.

Our families hail from Pakistan/India and we’ve had our fair share of incredible food in the bay and around the US.

But really - B&B is up there among the best desi BBQ we’ve had; it just hits different.


Hailing from Karachi, Pakistan, Talha and Asif started B&B with the mission of bringing Karachi’s world famous BBQ to the Bay Area. They were gracious in sharing their story with MyNasiha and the logistics required to host one of these events (exhausting).

We had the opportunity to experience B&B at an celebratory wedding dinner event and they were a huge success. Everyone was raving about the food.

B&B had been onsite since that early afternoon cooking everything from scratch. They made fresh Biryani (!!), aromatic Karahi Chicken exploding with flavor and spice, and grilled an assortment of BBQ options (Malai boti, Beef Bihari Kabob, & Tandoori Legs) that were also infused with spices & flavor.

Restaurant of the Week!

Overview:

Situationed in the heart of Fremont right off Stevenson and 880 - HalalStreet Hot Pot opened in the Bay about 1.5 years ago and is quickly becoming a staple of the community.

HalalStreet offers one of the most unique and fun dining experiences for people of all ages with their HotPot. A perfect meal to indulge while also enjoying spending time with family.

To start off, the Halalstreet staff bring out the broth and customers can go to the buffet to get various vegetables, noodles, and sides they want to cook in the broth.

Make sure you make your dipping sauce as well!

The magic starts right after as HalalStreet Robot Carts (!!) then deliver scrumptious thin slices of meat right to your table. Unlimited beef and lamb!

Cook the meat/vegetables/noodles to your preference in your broth and mix it with the dipping sauce - its incredible.

The kids have fun too - make sure to be careful with the very hot broth however. Depending on age, better to give them a small bowl of cooked food as the Hotpot can be difficult to manage with so many items on the table.

We highly recommend visiting HotPot for any family nights out or occasions to celebrate. They have the largest Halal Hot Spot space in the Bay Area so if you’re looking to host parties - this place is perfect.

Special shoutout to the HalalStreet staff - among the most gracious staff we’ve ever experienced at a restaurant.
