We have been going to the same place on either Saturday or Sunday for breakfast or brunch for the past 5-6 weeks. Yup, without fail.The kids started to get interested in it when their friends at school told them about a Halal Subway outlet in Edgware Road. Edgware Road is a major road in central London close to Marble Arch that is full of of Arabs. It's been like that since 12 years ago and have only gotten more popular among the middle-easterns since then.
Anyhow, since they found out about it, they've been asking us to take them there. While Edgware Road is less than 30 mins drive away, but the thought of finding a parking there just was just unappealing.
It was during one of those 'traffic jam' at Cricklewood that we noticed a halal sign on the Subway Outlet there. Interesting indeed as it's a lot shorter drive and finding a parking space would not be like trying to balance a pail full of water on your head while walking on a tight-rope, wearing a greasy pairs of oversized slippers (a.k.a. impossible). We decided to go there on one of the weekends and the rest as they say, is history. We were there this morning as well.
What we like about the place is the interior is very bright and family friend, service is done with a smile and the food is good. The cost for a meal for 5 is also not bad at around 25 pounds. Subway has been opening fully halal outlets since 2007 and I think it's a great idea and it makes economic sense in a diversed metropolitan like London. We have also seen another Halal Subway in Bayswater.
I guess, this weekly visit will stop one day but we will continue to go there on and off AND if you were to visit us here, insya-Allah you'll get to enjoy a halal sub in London as well. Promise!
